Reliable electricity remains a significant barrier to agricultural productivity in rural Nigeria. This case study investigated the potential of agrivoltaic systems, combining solar energy generation with crop production, to address food processing and water supply challenges in the Anambra State Agr...

With the rapid development of edge computing and intelligent maritime transportation systems, secure authentication and key agreement protocols have become essential for protecting communications among maritime entities and edge devices. Recently, Mahmood et al. proposed an authentication protocol f...

Ship detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images remains challenging due to coherent speckle noise, complex inshore clutter, and large variations in target scale, especially for tiny ships. To address these issues, this paper proposes a lightweight SAR ship detection network based on YOLOv11n...

The $k$-out-of-$n$ system is a fundamental redundancy model in reliability engineering, playing a critical role in safety-critical domains, such as power transmission, transportation network, communication networks and industrial production lines. This paper provides a systematic review of recent re...

As the core power equipment and primary load in power systems, electric motors are involved throughout the entire power generation, transmission, substation, and distribution processes. Their operational reliability directly determines the safety and stability of the power grid. This paper provides...

Droughts are among the most economically and ecologically destructive natural hazards, affecting more than half of the world's land surface annually and increasing in frequency and severity under anthropogenic climate change. Unlike episodic disasters such as earthquakes or hurricanes, droughts deve...

The North Huazhou area in Weihe Basin, a transition zone between the Ordos Block and Qinling Orogenic Belt, hosts multiple Cenozoic reservoirs critical for helium, geothermal, and tight oil/gas exploration. Based on Well H1 core, logging, and laboratory data, multi-scale analyses of the Sanmen, Zhan...

Ship detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is crucial for maritime surveillance. However, it faces significant challenges, including small target sizes, complex sea clutter interference, and stringent requirements for computational efficiency in on-board processing. While detection fra...

The key feature of FinTech software systems is the ability to accurately assess risk in real time, making decisions on high-volume streams of information that are associated with very low latency and are robust to concept drift, and able to be updated without disrupting services. This paper addresse...

Enshi is a high-incidence area for Plasmodiophora brassicae infection in Brassica rapa in China; however, the differential immunomodulatory effects of selenite (Se\(^{4+}\)) on the infection of Brassica rapa by the Plasmodiophora brassicae (Pb) remain unclear. In this study, Enshi Gaoshan Brassica r...
