Industrial robot-mounted grippers are commonly used in the automotive industry to position, manipulate, and immobilize sheet-metal parts during several manufacturing and assembly operations. Nowadays, the use of grippers ...

Unsupervised anomalous time series detection methods focus on identifying outliers without prior knowledge of the dataset. However, these methods often require multiple parameters to be optimized, with adequate performance ...

In the United States, buildings account for a large share of the annual energy consumption, nearly 40%. Fossil fuels including coal, oil, and natural gas account for the main source of electric power generation and constitute ...

The Indian River Lagoon (IRL) has been degraded by decades of eutrophication, and has accumulated an abundance of fine-grained, organic-rich sediments (muck). To quantify the impacts of organic sediments and environmental ...

Thick GEMs are a type of gas electron multiplier, a micropattern gaseous detector, with many applications in research. The subject of this study is whether or not a small 3D printed thick GEM board can be used to form a ...

Thermal management of a hot convective gaseous flow can be achieved by the injection of a cold liquid stream. This cooling effect is constrained by the amount of liquid injected, the rate of evaporation of the liquid, and ...

Head-pose estimation from facial images is an important research topic in computer-vision. It has many applications in detecting the focus of attention, monitoring driver behavior, and human-computer interaction. As with ...

Floods are considered one of the most devastating natural hazards and are projected to increase in frequency and magnitude in many places around the world, one of them being Florida. Understanding the potential changes ...

Group 13 Lewis acids have gained a lot of interest in over the years due to their reactivity, potency, and applications in the field of catalysis. Generally, there is a direct relationship between the catalytic activity ...

Space radiation is one of the primary dangers faced outside of the protective magnetosphere of Earth. Despite the persistent radiation threat to self-contained human habitation and the risk of increased exposure during ...
