Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Performance change detection and recovery in inferential control loops

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract In most industrial environments, soft sensors are crucial for estimating variables that are hard to measure. It is critical that these variables be estimated quickly and accurately because they are closely linked to plant safety and profit. Therefore, performance drift in the soft sensors cannot be ignored.

Direct Yaw Moment Control of Distributed-Drive Electric Vehicles via Multi-Agent Full-Order Terminal Sliding Mode

Actuators
To improve the yaw-stability tracking accuracy and torque smoothness of distributed-drive electric vehicles (DDEVs) under high-speed double-lane-change maneuvers and crosswind disturbances, this paper proposes a multi-agent-system (MAS)-based direct yaw ...

Turbulence‐Intensity Effects on the Aerodynamic Performance of an H‐Type Darrieus Wind Turbine: A URANS Parametric Study

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Turbulence intensity from 1% to 25% was parametrically tested on a three‐bladed H‐type Darrieus rotor across five tip speed ratios (TSRs) using two‐dimensional URANS. The optimal TSR proved the most efficient and most robust operating point simultaneously, with Cp losses capped at 5.8% even at TI = 25%. ABSTRACT The effect of inlet turbulence intensity

Direct yaw moment control of eight-wheeled distributed drive electric vehicles based on super-twisting sliding mode control

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering
This paper proposed a novel direct yaw moment control (DYC) system to enhance vehicle stability and handling performance in various driving conditions and overcome the chattering problem of traditional sliding mode control. Accordingly, a DYC strategy is

Spacing Effects in Guided Vertical‐Axis Wind Turbine Arrays for Highway Energy Harvesting Under Multi‐Vehicle Wake Conditions

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Three‐turbine guided Savonius arrays installed along highway corridors extract up to 697 J under multi‐vehicle wake conditions when spaced 12 rotor diameters apart—68% more than compact arrangements. Guide vanes boost output by 80–120%, and interior turbines respond most strongly to spacing, governing overall array performance. ABSTRACT Highway‐induced

Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Coordinated Control of Trajectory Tracking and Lateral Stability for Distributed Electric-Driven Buses

World Electric Vehicle Journal
To resolve the inherent coupling conflict between trajectory tracking and lateral stability in distributed electric drive buses, this paper proposes a hierarchical cooperative control framework. A simplified two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) vehicle model is

A Review of Automatic Measurement of Learning Engagement Using Body Clues

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Learning engagement is an overarching multifaceted construct that includes behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dimensions. The static subjective measurements may lead to inaccurate results. Considering the authenticity and reliability of body signals, this study investigated the types of body cues used in measuring learning engagement and ...

Triboelectric nanogenerators for vehicle intelligent cockpits

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Converting mechanical stimuli from drivers and vehicle motion into electrical signals, triboelectric nanogenerators provide promising interfaces toward passive, flexible, distributed and intelligent sensing for next‐generation automotive cockpits to support three core functional dimensions: driver state monitoring, vehicle state monitoring, and human ...
