Parameter Optimization of ADRC for Rolling-Mill Hydraulic Screw-Down Synchronization Based on a WMA–PSO Hybrid Algorithm

Mathematics
Parameter tuning for Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) in rolling mill hydraulic synchronization systems is critical for enhancing strip quality. Conventional manual trial-and-error methods often yield suboptimal results.

‘A Perpetually Disintegrating Synthesis’: Sartre on Bad Faith, Good Faith, and the Projects of Selfhood

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract An oft‐overlooked aspect of Sartre’s concept of selfhood is his rejection of good faith and sincerity as normative ideals. We argue that Sartre’s paradoxical treatment of good faith – claiming both that it is a manifestation of bad faith and the antithesis of it – holds a key to understanding Sartre’s account of selfhood.

Investigating transthyretin variants H88R and I107V in amyloid priming: From destabilization to complete dissociation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations

Short‐term survival of mallards following external transmitter attachment

Ibis, EarlyView.
Capturing birds for external transmitter attachment allows researchers to collect abundant movement and behavioural data across spatial and temporal gradients but can expose birds to additional stress due to prolonged handling, sometimes leading to mortality.

Experimental investigation of the effect of using different aggregate types on WMA mixtures [PDF]

, 2016
In recent years, production of warm mix asphalt (WMA) mixtures with the help of chemical additives has been developed due to obvious advantages, such as reduction of pollution emissions, construction temperature and the possibility of carrying asphalt in

A probabilistic investigation of long-term field performance of warm mix asphalt pavements

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) has been gaining popularity in sustainable road engineering due to its reduced environmental impacts. However, uncertainties remain regarding its long-term pavement performance compared to hot mix asphalt (HMA).

Performance Evaluation of Plant Produced Warm Mix Asphalt

Journal of Engineering, 2018
Warm mix asphalt (WMA) is relatively a new technology which enables the production and compaction of asphalt concrete mixtures at temperatures 15-40 °C lower than that of traditional hot mix asphalt HMA. In the present work, six asphalt concrete mixtures
