Local Thermal Discomfort From Tile-dependent Heat Efflux Under Barefoot Contact: Transient Heat Transfer Analysis in Ceramic Floors

This study employs analytical modeling and numerical simulation to quantify the rapid transient heat loss from bare feet to ceramic tiles, revealing that high material effusivity causes immediate skin temperature drops of 4–7°C and peak heat fluxes exceeding 27,000 W/m², thereby establishing a thermo-fluids framework for predicting and mitigating local thermal discomfort in tile-floor designs.

Pilot Protection for Distribution Feeders Using Active Signature-Harmonic Injection from a Soft Open Point

This paper proposes an SOP-assisted pilot protection scheme for distribution feeders that utilizes active 300 Hz signature-harmonic injection to reliably discriminate internal and external faults and identify faulted phases, overcoming the limitations of conventional differential protection caused by the soft open point's control characteristics.

Trajectory Generation for Multiple Atmospheric Passes Aeroassisted Orbital Plane Change

This paper proposes a fuel-efficient aeroassisted maneuver strategy for high lift-to-drag ratio spacecraft that achieves significant orbital inclination changes in low Earth orbit by iteratively combining multiple atmospheric passes with constant bank angles and post-exit three-impulse corrections, thereby substantially reducing fuel consumption compared to traditional purely propulsive methods.
