The estimation of the speed of human motion from wearable IMU sensors is required in applications such as pedestrian dead reckoning. In this paper, we test deep learning methods for the prediction of the motion speed from raw readings of a low-cost IMU sensor. Each subjec...

The influence of various types of nanoparticle fillers with the same diameter of 20 nm were separately incorporated into a single component impregnating resin based on a polyesterimide (PEI) matrix and its subsequent changes in complex relative permittivity were studied. In this paper,&...

Four different graphene-based temperature sensors were prepared, and their temperature and humidity dependences were tested. Sensor active layers prepared from reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and graphene nanoplatelets (Gnp) were deposited on the substrate from a dispersion by air brush spray coatin...

The steadily growing deployment of cyber systems in smart grids (SGs) has highlighted the impacts of cyber–physical interdependencies (CPIs). Although much attention has been paid to the reliability evaluation of SGs considering the system uncertainties and CPIs by Monte Carlo simulation (MC...

The high penetration of electric-driven cooling systems in supplying the growing space cooling needs leads to significant electricity consumption and carbon emissions in many countries. In this study, a heatdriven district cooling system implementing a nuclear heat source, namely Teplator, is...

Because of economic and environmental issues' importance in the energy field, moving toward smart energy systems and energy hubs (EHs) has accelerated. The impacts of uncertainties, e.g., stochastic behaviors of renewable distributed generations (DGs), on EHs are fundamental challenges that s...

We describe an analysis comparing the p¯p elastic cross section as measured by the D0 Collaboration at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV to that in pp collisions as measured by the TOTEM Collaboration at 2.76, 7, 8, and 13 TeV using a model-independent approach. The...

Events where the two leading jets are separated by a pseudorapidity interval devoid of particle activity, known as jet-gap-jet events, are studied in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV. The signature is expected from hard color-singlet exchange. Each of the highest transverse momentum...

Measurements are presented of the single-diffractive dijet cross section and the diffractive cross section as a function of the proton fractional momentum loss ξ and the four-momentum transfer squared t. Both processes p p → p X and p p → X p , i.e. with the pro...

Two powerful and versatile code packages (Agros Suite and Artap) are presented for design and optimization of technical devices and systems. Agros Suite represents an environment for numerical solution of systems consisting of partial differential equations (PDEs) of the second order by ...

Two materials, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which are often used as flexible substrates for electronics, were exposed to accelerated thermal aging at temperatures of 190 °C and 210 °C for 50 0 0 and 20 0 0 h, respectively. Changes in the...

In recent years, the evolution of microgrids (MGs) toward a complex interacted cyber-physical system is significant, which has received much attention. Cyber-physical MGs (CPMGs) are vulnerable to various cyberphysical interdependencies mainly. Therefore, the reliability evaluation of such systems is ...

The TOTEM collaboration at the CERN LHC has measured the differential cross-section of elastic proton–proton scattering at s√=8TeV in the squared four-momentum transfer range 0.2GeV2<|t|<1.9GeV2. This interval includes the structure with a diffractive minimum (“dip”) and a secondary maximum (“bu...

This paper investigates the problem of automatic detection of cyber-attacks in cyber-physical systems (CPSs), where some of the state variables are corrupted by an attacker. An attack detector based on a sliding mode observer (SMO) is used to estimate the state attacks. The paramet...

The Teplator is a nuclear heat-only reactor under development in the Czech Republic, which uses already irradiated spent nuclear fuel (SNF). This study aims to assess the feasibility of integrating this technology with district heating systems (DHSs) compared with other heating technologies....

An ammonia gas sensor material based on sulfonic functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubesmodified by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), namely, PEDOT/SWCNTSO3H, was prepared via in situ polymerization. A thin active layer of PEDOT/SWCNT-SO3H was deposited on a polyimide substrate with interdigital electr...

There is a great potential in small satellite technology for testing new sensors, processes, and technologies for space applications. Antennas need careful design when developing a small satellite to establish stable communication between the ground station and the satellite. This work is&#x...

Much attention has been paid to the deployment of Hydrogen storage systems (HSSs) and Hydrogen vehicles (HVs) in the modernized energy system. However, a research gap exists in the literature about optimal probabilistic planning of microgrids (MGs) equipped with HSS, considering the unc...

There are many gaseous substances that need to be monitored for possible damage to health or the environrnent. This requires many sensors. The solution to reducing the number of sensors is to use one sensor to detect several gaseous substances simultaneously. Efforts to simplify&#x...
