Robust soft sensors for SBR monitoring

Water Science and Technology, 2001
In wastewater treatment some process variables may be very difficult to measure directly because of the non-availability or excessive cost of sensors. An alternative is to use ‘soft sensors” that provide online estimates of these inacessible variables by calculations based on auxiliary measurable variables.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Softness Prediction with a Soft Biomimetic Optical Tactile Sensor

2024 IEEE 7th International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft)
With the growing interest in vision-based tactile sensor technology for applications such as fruit harvesting based on ripeness, accurate object softness recognition has become increasingly important. In our study, we examined the capability of soft biomimetic optical tactile sensor, a TacTip with a flat sensing surface, for this task.

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.
