by Amin Danial Asham Autonomous differential-drive robots are typically controlled to follow a desired path. This path may be defined by a continuous curve or set of waypoints. Few studies have examined cases in which a path is defined by an arbitrary set of waypoints. This paper introduces a new…
by Anh Nguyen-Quang, Hung Tran-Huy, Hung Nguyen-Manh, Muhammad Ikram A compact single-layer, single-feed tri-band directional antenna is presented for Wi-Fi 6/6E systems. The target bands at 2.4, 5.2, and 6.0 GHz yield a highest-to-lowest frequency ratio of 2.50, making compact integration of the…

by Francisco J. Ruiz, Douglas M. Bastidas-Suárez, Camilo A. Vargas Psychological flexibility and inflexibility are core processes in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model and are consistently associated with well-being and emotional distress. However, the validity of widely used…
by Youngbae Jeon, Sun Jin Sym, Won-Suk Lee, Jeong-Heum Baek Background Clinically significant anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal cancer surgery is associated with substantial postoperative morbidity, but its long-term oncologic impact remains uncertain. We evaluated the association of AL…
by Liyun Wu, Zhipeng Sun, Yuzhong Yang The quality of graduate education in mining engineering is important for safeguarding national energy security and supporting the green and intelligent transformation of the mining industry. This study developed an evaluation system comprising five…
by Daniel B. Wright Having follow-up free response probes after forced choice survey questions allows researchers to assess the validity of the original choices. This can also be useful when psychological scales are administered as screening tools. The follow-up probes can be used to help decide if…
by Nickson Erick Otieno Watershed degradation from human encroachment is a worldwide phenomenon and a keystone driver of erosion, transport and deposition of sediment material into downstream lakes and other water bodies. Despite global recognition of the growing scale of these linkages…
by Lianfei Gao, Junfeng Tan, Jiahao Zhang Facial expression recognition is an important task in real-time human-computer interaction, but its practical application is still limited by partial facial occlusion, high computational cost, and the lack of fine-grained emotion representation. To address…
