This book chapter presents an Adaptive Control with Optimization (ACO) system for optimising a multi-objective function based on material removal rate, quality loss function related to surface roughness, and cutting-tool life subjected to surface roughness specifications constraint.

Article describes study in which weathering and suspended matter fluxes of the Langtang Narayani river system in central Nepal Himalaya were investigated at 16 stations for one year, based on monthly water sampling in the lower reaches and bi-monthly in higher elevation areas, to determine temporal variations of weathering fluxes along an elevation profile between 169 and 3989 m asl.

Article discussing allometric relations and growth patterns for tree species in the Imataca Forest Reserve, Venezuela.

This article investigates the short- and medium-range structural features of sodium aluminosilicate glasses with various P₂O₅ (0–7 mol%) content and Al/Na ratios ranging from 0.667 to 2.000 by using molecular dynamics simulations. Based on the simulated structural information, a modified random network model for P₂O₅-bearing sodium aluminosilicate glass has been proposed, which could be useful to optimize the mobility of sodium ions and design novel functional glass compositions.

Article on a mobility-based CAC algorithm for arbitrary call-arrival rates in CDMA cellular systems.

This article presents a model that incorporates individuals' immune responses to further examine the role of the collective immune response of individuals in a population during an infectious outbreak.

This article presents physical property data (both published and previously unpublished) on a single batch of International Simple Glass (ISG), which was cast into individual ingots that were distributed to the collaborators. Properties from the atomic scale to the macroscale, including composition and elemental impurities, phase purity, density, thermal properties, mechanical properties, optical and vibrational properties, and the results of molecular dynamics simulations are presented, as well as information on the surface composition and morphology after polishing. Although the existing literature on the alteration of ISG is not extensively reviewed here, the results of well-controlled static alteration experiments are presented here as a point of reference for other performance investigations.

This paper discusses data-driven gender modeling for improved user interfaces.

This article is a review that categorizes the compositional and microstructural approaches that exhibit potential for a combination of shear induced phase transformation and twinning, thereby expanding beyond the slip based mechanisms.

Report on the dynamics and control of aquatic weeds in some islands of the protected area of the Orinoco Delta.

Article examining foams made from polylactic acid (PLA) and micro cellulose fibrils (MCF) to address the need for bio-resourced foams for the building industry.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of the key enabling technologies required for 5G and 6G networks, highlighting the massive MIMO systems. The authors discuss the fundamental challenges related to pilot contamination, channel estimation, precoding, user scheduling, energy efficiency, and signal detection in massive MIMO systems and discuss state-of-the-art mitigation techniques. Recent trends such as terahertz communication, ultra massive MIMO (UM-MIMO), visible light communication (VLC), machine learning, and deep learning for massive MIMO systems are outlined. Finally, future research for massive MIMO systems for 5G and beyond is discussed.

Article on the poor mechanical properties of Ti alloys. The study shows that the elastic properties of the ω-phase can be systematically varied as a function of its composition to enhance both the ductility and strength of the Ti-alloy. Furthermore, that ω precipitates are not intrinsically embrittling and detrimental and that Ti-alloys can be created with both good ductility and strength by tailoring ω precipitates' composition instead of completely eliminating them.
