PNNL‐TUNAMELT: Toward automating the detection of interactions with marine energy devices using acoustic camera sensors

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Acoustic cameras, or imaging sonars, are often used to monitor marine energy sites in regions where the water is too dark or turbid for optical sensing. To do so more effectively, scientists are investigating automated detection methodologies to use on these data.

Influence of the concrete properties in the effectiveness of the NSM CFRP laminates for the shear strengthening of RC beams [PDF]

, 2010
The New Surface Mounted (NSM) technique was applied to increase the shear resistance of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. For this purpose, laminates of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) were introduced into thin slits made on the concrete cover of ...

Observation of Linear and Nonlinear Light Trapping on Topological Dislocations

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Topological dislocations are global lattice defects found in various systems ranging from crystals to photonic lattices. This work reports the first observation at optical frequencies of linear modes with tunable localization bound to edge dislocations and their nonlinear counterparts ‐ dislocation solitons. These results reveal an intriguing interplay

Sol‐Gel Coating on CA‐60 Steel Surfaces: A Process for Corrosion Inhibition

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
30% of the steel produced worldwide is used to replace losses due to corrosion. The application of the sol‐gel process to inhibit and delay deterioration appears as a viable methodology for protection against aggressive environments. ABSTRACT The phenomenon of corrosion causes worldwide damage, which is not only economic but also results in the loss of

No App, No Entry: Conceptualizing Digital Technology Captivity in Service Access

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce Digital Technology Captivity (DTC), a form of consumer vulnerability that arises when digital technologies become the mandatory gateway to essential services. When access is tied to systems that feel unfamiliar, complex, or intimidating—and when preferred alternatives are limited—consumers may experience heightened vulnerability ...

Experimental Modal Analysis‐Driven Gaussian Process Regression Modeling of Rectangular Steel Beams With Various Hole Geometries

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the dynamic behavior of structural components is crucial for optimizing performance and ensuring structural integrity. This study presents a new method that combines a systematic experimental investigation of four distinct hole geometries (circular, square, compact rectangular, and long rectangular) with varying hole counts, all ...
