Abstract: Fuel-cooled thermal management, including endothermic cracking and reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, is an enabling technology for advanced aero engines and offers potential for cycle improvements ...

Abstract: Intrusion behavior in hazardous areas is one of the major causes of construction safety accidents including falls from height and strikes by objects. Implementing automatic and preassessment of intrusions to enhance safety ...

Abstract: An integrated fuzzy ranking analysis (IFRA) method was developed to help evaluate the quality of waste composts under a variety of system complexities and uncertainties. It combined the latent component analysis and ameliorated

Abstract: Fuel-cooled thermal management, including endothermic cracking and reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, is an enabling technology for advanced aero engines and offers potential for cycle improvements ...

Abstract: In this study, a two-stage fractional programming (TSFP) method is developed for supporting municipal solid waste (MSW) management under uncertainty. The model can not only balance two conflicting objectives through ...

Abstract: This work presents a novel lensed plastic optical fiber (POF), efficiently coupled with a light source. A convexo-concave plastic lens (CCPL) was bound to a flat-end plastic optical fiber using ...

Abstract: In this study, an inexact inventory-theory-based waste management planning (IIWMP) model was developed and applied to support long-term planning of the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system in the City of Xiamen, ...

Abstract: This study aims to perform a comprehensive trend analysis of precipitation and streamflow at the watershed scale. Multiple techniques were employed to examine the temporal trends in annual, seasonal, and monthly precipitation ...

Abstract: Multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cooperative operations have been proposed as a relatively new concept for improving the combat capability of a single UAV, and formation control is the focus and core technology of ...
