Feedrate Fluctuation Minimization for NURBS Tool Path Interpolation Based on Arc Length Compensation and Iteration by Xing Liu, Pengxin Yu, Haiduo Chen, Bihui Peng, Zhao Wang, Fusheng Liang

“…In the interpolation cycle, the position of the next interpolation point is required to be calculated in real-time to guide the action of the machining process. Due to the existence of the positioning error of the interpolation point, it is extremely difficult to eliminate the feedrate fluctuation, which may lead to dramatic decreases in machining quality and the driving capabilities’ saturation of each axis. …”

Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network–Based Unscented Kalman Filter for Vehicle Collision Estimate Warning System and Ensuring Stable Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication by Yonas Kebede Lema, Satyasis Mishra, Demissie J. Gelmecha

“…These alerts can warn the driver of impending collisions with distant objects, enabling them to take appropriate evasive action. By implementing this integrated LLWNN-UKF approach leveraging sensor data and V2X communication, we aim to reduce the number of collisions caused by reckless driving, which will lead to a decrease in traffic-related fatalities and injuries.…”

CONSIDERATION ABOUT A CONSERVACIONIST STUDY ABOUT THE MICRO BASINS HYDROGRAPHICS OF THE RIVERS DOS APERTADOS AND TRÊS BOCAS, NORTH OF PARANÁ – BRAZIL by Walquíria Machado, Ricardo Aparecido Campos, Nilza Aparecida Freres Stipp

“…The identification of the different kinds of predominant vegetables informs, chiefly, about the level of soil protection, since the vegetation is responsible for the protection against the impacts of the raindrops (splash), by the reduction of the speed of surface outflow (runoff), through the increasing of the land ruggedness and greater soil structure constitution that may offer greater resistance to the action of the erosive processes. …”

Scientific foundations of the movement of components of grain material with an artificially formed distribution of air velocity by С.П. Степаненко, Б.И. Котов, А.В. Спирин, В.Ю. Кучерук

“…The regularities of the weevil movement were theoretically investigated and established in the form of mathematical models of the dynamics of the movement of a solid particle in airflow, which differ from the known ones by taking into account the action of lateral forces, the concentration of the material, and the use of a power-law and an artificially formed exponential law of air distribution facilitated to increase the differences (splitting) trajectories of caryopses by 20 %. …”
