ABSTRACT Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) inspection of overhead transmission line composite insulators allows for the rapid acquisition of large amounts of infrared images of insulators in service, which can be used to analyse their operational status. However, efficiently and accurately analysing these images remains a challenge.

ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of six machine learning algorithms for automated hydrophobicity classification in composite insulators using contour‐based image features. A robust image‐processing pipeline was developed to extract statistical features from water droplet patterns on insulator surfaces, enabling objective ...

Lacustrine forms of Triglopsis from North American and European lakes are at different stages of evolution, making them a suitable model for testing hypotheses about evolutionary patterns and rates. An integrative analysis of morphological, genetic, and biological adaptations occurring in lacustrine forms of the genus Triglopsis was carried out.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Implications and characterization of waste glass cullet – kaolinite clay ceramics
Cullet(x) reinforced ceramics (100 – x) made from Ukpor kaolinite clay by dry-pressing and fired at temperatures (T0C) for 900≥T≤ 12500C with 0≤x ≤40% wt was investigated for its ceramics application. The chemical profile of the samples (cullet and clay)

Between the Indian Ocean and the Gulf: Ceramics From Ḥattā Oasis in the Emirate of Dubai
ABSTRACT This study presents the ceramic finds from archaeological investigations conducted in 2024 at two settlements: ‘Islamic Village' and Suhaila 2, one of a number of mountain villages of the Late Islamic period within the Ḥattā Oasis: a high‐altitude exclave in the Emirate of Dubai. The sites are located on the northeastern slopes of Jabal Qallāt

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.
