MANAGE OF CONCRETE BRIDGES’ ELEMENTS ON THE BASIS OF FUZZY LOGIC MODELS

Nauka ta progres transportu, 2010
The refinement of estimation of operational state of the ferro-concrete bridge elements and the direction of substantiation of the bridge service levels on the basis of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic are offered.

Cable-stayed bridges, diagnostic survey of stays

Civil and Environmental Engineering
The safety and service life of cable-stayed bridges directly depend on the structural condition of individual stay cable. The diagnostics of the cables and their anchorage systems is an integral part of the complete bridge assessment.

Gate‐Induced Critical Current Modulation in W–C Nanowires: The Role of Fabrication

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Focused ion beam induced deposition (FIBID) enables precise control of superconducting W–C nanowire devices. Introducing a Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) cleaning step reduces substrate damage and suppresses leakage currents, shifting gating thresholds to higher voltages.

Bridging Gaps: Peer Recommendations for Better Services

Abstract In this chapter, we present recommendations for change written by the project's peer researchers, based on their findings from the study. During qualitative interviews, the peers discussed with sex workers how services should change and what actions could be taken to bring about this change.

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

From Molecular Design to Optical Anisotropy: Orientation Control in BODIPY Langmuir‐Blodgett Films

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The supramolecular organization of amphiphilic boron‐dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes in Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers is shown to govern their optical anisotropy. By correlating nanoscale imaging and angle‐resolved spectroscopy, we reveal symmetry‐driven control of transition dipole orientation, enabling either in‐plane or out‐of‐plane optical responses ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.
