Multivariate Tests for Comparing Lifetimes of Parallel Systems

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Life testing of engineering systems with dependent components requires robust multivariate methods. Parametric approaches depend on restrictive assumptions, limiting their use in complex or unknown lifetime distribution settings. This study evaluates nonparametric methods for comparing parallel system lifetimes under minimal sample ...

Real‐Time Behavior Recognition Using a Legged Robot for Animal–Robot Interaction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal–robot interaction is an emerging interdisciplinary field that explores the dynamics between animals and robotic systems, as well as the design principles for effective engagement. While previous approaches have investigated animal responses to robotic stimuli, they have yet to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) for real‐time ...

Climate Change and Energy Security Risk: Do Green Patents, Institutional Quality, and Human Capital Make a Difference?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to global energy security, yet the mechanisms through which this relationship unfolds—and the factors that buffer their adverse impacts—remain underexplored. This study examines the link between climate change, proxied by CO2 emissions, and energy security risk (ESR), with a particular focus on the ...
