Recently, more and more hybrid robots have been designed to meet the increasing
demand for a wide spectrum of applications. However, development of a general
and systematic method for kinematic design and dynamic analysis for hybrid
robots is rare. Most publications deal with the kinematic and dynamic issues for
individual hybrid robots rather than any generalization. Hence, in this paper,
we pres... hiện toàn bộ
A Consistency Evaluation Method of Pavement Performance Based on K-Means Clustering and Cumulative DistributionApplied Sciences - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 106
Wenya Ye, Rui Zhang, Qun Yang
This paper proposes a cumulative distribution modelling method for pavement
performance indexes based on the sampling theorem and implements clustering
analysis of similar road sections through the K-means algorithm. The results
show that: (1) The modelling method proposed in this paper can convert discrete
pavement performance data into a continuous function of pavement performance
indexes and a ... hiện toàn bộ

Food holds a major role in human beings’ lives and in human societies in general
across the planet. The food and agriculture sector is considered to be a major
employer at a worldwide level. The large number and heterogeneity of the
stakeholders involved from different sectors, such as farmers, distributers,
retailers, consumers, etc., renders the agricultural supply chain management as
one of the... hiện toàn bộ
An Overview of Material Extrusion TroubleshootingApplied Sciences - Tập 10 Số 14 - Trang 4776
Giselle Hsiang Loh, Eujin Pei, Joamin González-Gutiérrez, Mario Monzón
Material extrusion (ME) systems offer end-users with a more affordable and
accessible additive manufacturing (AM) technology compared to other processes in
the market. ME is often used to quickly produce low-cost prototyping with the
freedom of scalability where parts can be produced in different geometries,
quantities and sizes. As the use of desktop ME machines has gained widespread
adoption, th... hiện toàn bộ

In this investigation, biodiesel was produced from Moringa oleifera oil through
a transesterification process at operating conditions including a reaction
temperature of 60 °C, catalyst concentration of 1% wt., reaction time of 2 h,
stirring speed of 1000 rpm and methanol to oil ratio of 8.50:1. Biodiesel
blends, B10 and B20, were tested in a compression ignition engine, and the
performance and em... hiện toàn bộ

The Effect of Chelate Compounds on the Hydration Process of MgO–Al2O3 Phase System under Hydrothermal ConditionsApplied Sciences - Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 2834
Ryszard Prorok, Jakub Ramult, Wiesława Nocuń-Wczelik, Dominika Madej
In refractory castables during heat treatment, there is a dynamic change from a
hydraulic bond to a ceramic bond. During heating, the emission of water takes
place; this changes the conditions inside the material to something similar to
the hydrothermal ones. This influences the processes that occur during the
heating of the castables, and in consequence, the properties of the final
material. The ... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of a Sound Signal for Quality Monitoring in Laser Microlap WeldingApplied Sciences - Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 1934
Bo-Si Kuo, Ming‐Chyuan Lu
This study focused on correlation analysis between welding quality and
sound-signal features collected during microlaser welding. The study provides
promising features for developing a monitoring system that detects low joint
strength caused by a gap between metal sheets after welding. To obtain sound
signals for signal analysis and develop the monitoring system, experiments for
laser microlap wel... hiện toàn bộ
A Learning Analytics Approach to Identify Students at Risk of Dropout: A Case Study with a Technical Distance Education CourseApplied Sciences - Tập 10 Số 11 - Trang 3998

Contemporary education is a vast field that is concerned with the performance of
education systems. In a formal e-learning context, student dropout is considered
one of the main problems and has received much attention from the learning
analytics research community, which has reported several approaches to the
development of models for the early prediction of at-risk students. However,
