A Round Robin Tests program is being undertaken within the EC MaRINET2 initiative.This programme studies the used facility influence can Clippers have on the performance evaluation of a horizontal axis tidal turbine prototype when it is operated under wave and current conditions.In this paper, we present the design of experiments that is used throu
In the sheet metal stamping process, during sliding contact between the tool and sheet, it is expected that severe events such as tool wear or fracture on the sheet generate acoustic emission (AE) burst waveforms.Attempts have been made in the literature to correlate the AE burst waveform with the wear mechanisms.However, there is a need for additi
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) simulate Darwinian evolution and adeptly mimic natural evolution.Most EA applications in biology encode high levels of abstraction in top-down population ecology models.In contrast, our research merges protein alignment algorithms from bioinformatics into codon based EAs that simulate molecular protein string evolution
Background and study aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) requires advanced skills to perform safely without complications.The current study evaluated the usefulness of a novel three-dimensional insulatd food jar (3D) imaging system in ESD using porcine stomachs.Methods Four endoscopists (two trainees and two experts) performed eight ESD pro
The anticipated trends in mobility, either autonomous driving or urban air mobility (UAM), require wireless services to achieve mandatory reliability and safety levels.The number of wireless systems already in-use, especially airborne, occupy regulated spectra.In order to mitigate the impact of a large number of systems mounted to airborne platform
