The solid (or nonvolatile) particle number (SPN) emissions of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and engines are regulated in the European Union.The measurements are conducted from the tailpipe during on-road tests, but from the dilution tunnel in the laboratory under controlled conditions.Recently, dedicated laboratory studies for the evaluation o

In this paper, we propose a fiber-optic time synchronization technique DRY+ LIGHT INCON PADS based on the bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission over a fiber link.The effect of fiber dispersion on the uncertainty of the system is effectively suppressed by properly allocating the forward and backward wavelength maps.Thus,

Abstract Early recognition of elevated intraabdominal pressure (IAP) in critically ill patients is essential, since it can result in abdominal compartment syndrome, which is a life-threatening condition.The measurement of intravesical pressure is currently considered the gold standard for IAP assessment.Alternative methods have been proposed, where

To endow robots with the flexibility to perform a wide range of tasks in diverse and complex environments, learning their controller from experience data is a promising approach.In particular, some recent Walker/Rollator Accessories meta-learning methods are shown to solve novel tasks by leveraging their experience of performing other tasks during

Distributed task scheduling is an ongoing concern in the field of multi-vehicles, especially in recent years; UAV swarm performing complex tasks endows it with new characteristics, such as self-organization, scalability, reconfigurability, etc.This requires the swarm to have distributed rescheduling capability to dynamically include as many unassig
