A turbocharger retrofitting platform utilizing 1D models for calculating turbomachinery components maps and a fully coupled process for integration with the turbomachinery components and the diesel engine, is presented. ...

Multiple-gravity assist (MGA) trajectories are used in interplanetary missions to change the spacecraft orbital energy by exploiting the gravity of celestial bodies. This allows the spacecraft to reach regions in the Solar ...

A thermal-metallurgical-mechanical model was developed to study the effects of dilution in each weld pass for multipass gas tungsten arc and submerged arc welding in low alloy steel (i.e. SA508) plates. Hardness distributions ...

In emerging Internet-of-Nano-Thing (IoNT), information will be embedded and conveyed in the form of molecules through complex and diffusive medias. One main challenge lies in the long-tail nature of the channel response ...

The ground breaking performance of fully convolutional neural nets (FCNs) for semantic segmentation tasks has yet to be achieved for landcover classification, partly because a lack of suitable training data. Here the FCN8 ...

Polymeric electric insulators are an integral part of many electronic circuits and systems. Changes induced by an electric field can affect various mechanisms; including electrical polarisation and electromechanical ...

The rapidly developing field of conducting polymers in organic electronics has many implications for bioelectronics. For biosensing applications, tailoring the functionalities of the conducting polymer’s surface is an ...

Currently, land use and land cover change (LULCC) is of utmost concern for global environmental change and sustainability. Among the portfolio of techniques, modelling is considered as the best approach to explore LULC ...

The detrimental effects of ageing on the human skeleton are universally resonant. With increase in age, an increased fragility at the macroscopic scale is observed in bone, which is indicative of changes that occur at ...

Optimising the mechanical properties of optical coatings to improve their durability will be critical if they are to be used successfully in harsh environments where they may be subject to degradation by mechanical contact. ...
