Unleashing the power of visible‐near infrared spectroscopy: predicting Golden Delicious apple enzyme activity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Enzymatic browning is a significant reaction in fruits that affects their color, appearance, and quality. The quality of apples, as a perishable product, is mainly influenced by the activity of two browning‐related enzymes, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), during storage.

Performance-based design optimization using uniform deformation theory: a comparison study

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
The uniform deformation theory (UDT) is a relatively new concept in structural seismic design optimization. However, the results of optimization based on this theory have not yet been compared with other optimization techniques such as metaheuristics ...

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

Robust Position Control of an Electro‐Hydraulic Actuator via Metaheuristic Optimization of a Fractional‐Order PID Controller

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a robust position control strategy is presented for a two‐stage electro‐hydraulic actuator system using a fractional‐order proportional–integral–derivative (FOPID) controller tuned by Kirchhoff's law algorithm (KLA). Electro‐hydraulic systems exhibit strong nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances ...

Enhancing Rock Strength Prediction and Features Selection by Coupling Well Log Data and Deep Learning Approaches in Reservoir Geomechanics

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate rock strength parameters play a vital role in petroleum and mining operations for sustainable drilling activities, and wellbore stability analysis. This study investigates the applicability of deep learning techniques for assessing data‐driven models, and to conduct parametric sensitivity examination for feature attributes ranking to ...

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

Self‐Service and Home Delivery Combined: Coordinating the Route of a Mobile Parcel Locker With the Delivery Tasks of Its Human Driver

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to the increasing volume of parcels, last‐mile delivery innovations are exploring the integration of multiple delivery modes. The most prominent examples are delivery vans that, next to being the base for the delivery tasks of their human drivers, also function as mobile launching platforms for drones or autonomous delivery robots.
