This study introduces and validates a globally adaptable, climate-normalized design framework that achieves thermal autarky for near-isothermal mesophilic anaerobic digestion by optimizing insulation and solar aperture, thereby overcoming the energy self-consumption barriers that have limited the global realization of anaerobic digestion potential.
This study proposes and validates a non-invasive "Scan-to-Service" framework integrating LiDAR, Digital Twin, and XR technologies to overcome topographical barriers in heritage tourism, demonstrating through a Taipei case study that such virtual systems significantly enhance accessibility for elderly and mobility-impaired users while ensuring economic sustainability.
This study demonstrates that adding aluminum oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles to castor biodiesel blends significantly improves the combustion efficiency and brake thermal efficiency of compression ignition engines while reducing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, though it concurrently exacerbates nitrogen oxide emissions.
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a rule-based IoT wearable prototype using an ESP32, MEMS microphone, and IMU to monitor companion animal behavioral states through real-time multimodal sensor fusion, while critically documenting the shift from semantic emotion recognition to feasible state estimation due to embedded computational constraints.
This study demonstrates that high-resolution multispectral image processing is a cost-effective and scalable method for accurately detecting and estimating sediment accumulation and transport in urban stormwater infrastructure, offering a viable alternative to traditional field surveys for proactive management.
This paper proposes a feasibility- and connected-domain-guided multi-objective particle swarm optimizer (FCD-MOPSO) that leverages mechanism-aware evaluation and connected-domain guidance to efficiently synthesize multi-loop mechanisms under strict constraints and limited computational budgets, significantly outperforming standard algorithms in finding valid, high-quality, and force-optimized solutions.
This paper proposes a power-efficient and noise-resilient domino logic architecture for wide fan-in applications that utilizes an adaptive keeper control scheme and a restructured PDN with a stacked footer transistor to significantly reduce power consumption, improve noise margins, and enhance robustness against process variations compared to conventional designs.
This paper presents a fully integrated, low-power smart temperature sensor fabricated in 65-nm CMOS that achieves an area of 850 µm², consumes 5.5 µW, and delivers high resolution and accuracy for IoT thermal monitoring by utilizing a self-clocked, reference-free ring oscillator-based sensing methodology.
This paper presents glue-free femtosecond laser welding as an advanced, contamination-free technique for joining transparent materials like glass, PMMA, and PDMS in lab-on-chip devices by leveraging non-linear absorption to achieve localized energy deposition without significant thermal damage.
This paper proposes a hybrid ANFIS-based fuzzy-PID controller for multi-area load frequency control in the Northwest Ethiopian power grid, demonstrating through MATLAB/Simulink simulations that it significantly outperforms conventional PID, fuzzy-PID, and standalone ANFIS controllers in terms of settling time, error metrics, and robustness against parameter variations.
