Abstract Although the aerodynamic loading of wind turbine blades under various conditions has been widely studied, the radial distribution of load along the blade under various yaw conditions and with blade flapping phenomena is poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of second-order flapwise vibration on the mean and fluctuation characteristics of the torque and axial thrust of wind turbines under yaw conditions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the CFD model, the blades are segmented radially to comprehensively analyze the distribution patterns of torque, axial load, and tangential load. The following results are… More >

Abstract Real-time indoor camera localization is a significant problem in indoor robot navigation and surveillance systems. The scene can change during the image sequence and plays a vital role in the localization performance of robotic applications in terms of accuracy and speed. This research proposed a real-time indoor camera localization system based on a recurrent neural network that detects scene change during the image sequence. An annotated image dataset trains the proposed system and predicts the camera pose in real-time. The system mainly improved the localization performance of indoor cameras by more accurately predicting the camera More >

Abstract This work involves an experimental study on the performance of automobile air-conditioning systems by adding AlO nanoparticles to oil compressors to investigate their impacts on the enhancement of the speed cooling of refrigeration systems and to compare it with the system operated using only oil. The AlO nanoparticles have been added to the oil compressor for different ranges of mass concentration (Ø = 0.1%, Ø = 0.15% and Ø = 0.2%). The stability of AlO nanoparticles has been tested by direct observation for different time periods. The results indicated that the air conditioning system that More >

Abstract The goal of this paper is to represent a numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection heat transfer in a lid-driven vertical wavy enclosure with a fin attached to the bottom wall. We use a finite element method based on Galerkin weighted residual (GWR) techniques to set up the appropriate governing equations for the present flow model. We have conducted a parametric investigation to examine the impact of Hartmann and Richardson numbers on the flow pattern and heat transmission features inside a wavy cavity. We graphically represent the numerical results, such as isotherms, streamlines, velocity profiles,… More >

Abstract The proposed work focuses on the in-depth study of convective heat transfer in the unconfined air gap of a discoidal rotor-stator system. The rotary cooling mechanism is achieved by the injection of two air jets, while the cavity geometry is characterized by a dimensionless parameter G. The numerical analysis primarily concentrated on the effect of flow velocity and rotation on the heat exchange process. More precisely, the range of analysis extends from the rotational Reynolds number to , while varying the Reynolds value of the jet in a range from to . To carry out More >

Abstract Based on the traditional re-entrant honeycomb, a novel re-entrant octagon honeycomb (ROH) is proposed. The deformation mode of the honeycomb under quasi-static compression is analyzed by numerical simulation, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The deformation modes, mechanical properties, and energy absorption characteristics of ROH along the impact and perpendicular directions gradient design are investigated under different velocities. The results indicated that the deformation mode of ROH is affected by gradient design along the direction of impact and impact speed. In addition, gradient design along the direction of impact can… More >

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly demonstrating their ability to understand natural language and solve complex tasks, especially through text generation. One of the relevant capabilities is contextual learning, which involves the ability to receive instructions in natural language or task demonstrations to generate expected outputs for test instances without the need for additional training or gradient updates. In recent years, the popularity of social networking has provided a medium through which some users can engage in offensive and harmful online behavior. In this study, we investigate the ability of different LLMs, ranging from zero-shot… More >

Abstract Background: Teacher burnout is a serious issue in the field of education, particularly in early childhood education, where teachers face high levels of work stress and emotional labor, leading to emotional exhaustion and job burnout. However, past research has not sufficiently explored the mechanisms of social skills, empathy, and mindfulness in mitigating teacher burnout. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between preschool teachers’ social skills, empathy, and mindfulness with job burnout, in order to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for reducing teacher burnout. Methods: This research utilized a convenience sampling approach to… More >

Abstract Rosaceae represents a vast and complex group of species, with its classification being intricate and contentious. The taxonomic placement of many species within this family has been a subject of ongoing debate. The study utilized the Illumina platform to sequence 19 plant species from 10 genera in the Rosaceae. The cp genomes, varying in size from 153,366 to 159,895 bp, followed the typical quadripartite organization consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region (84,545 to 87,883 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,174 to 19,259 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (25,310 to… More >

Abstract The Flooding Pampa grasslands are the last remnant of the Rio de la Plata grasslands in Argentina. Anthropogenic interventions have led to severe degradation and, as a result, the ecosystem services provided by the grasslands are declining, in terms of provisioning, regulating, and supporting services. We synthesized the existing literature on the ecosystem goods and services provided by these grasslands under grazing in different conditions and conservation status. We found that plant and animal diversity and primary production are the most studied ecosystem services, while climate regulation, water supply, nutrient cycling, meat production and erosion… More >
