Despite its nutritional potential, Tiger nut remains under-utilized. This study examined the interactive effects of soaking time (24–72\,h) and microwave power (100–280\,W) on its proximate composition using response surface methodology. Commercial tubers (14.33% moisture) were rehydrated to 38.6–46...

The influence of process conditions and post-annealing treatments on the ionic transport properties of metakaolin (MK) ceramics prepared by the cold sintering process (CSP) were investigated. Within the temperature range of 120–200 °C, CSP temperature has little influence on densification and micros...

The conservation of rare and endangered medicinal plants, such as Cremastra appendiculata, is hindered by a limited understanding of their intrinsic endangerment mechanisms. This study employed a plant vitality analyzer (model: ZT-FIA-1, Jiangsu Zhongtian Zhigan Life Data Co., Ltd., China) to system...

Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) are quality-focused attributes of a system that impact functional components. There are 24 common NFR classes with some of the most used being performance, scalability, availability, reliability, and security. The implementations of these classes are ambiguous and...

The use of deep neural networks in modern surveillance systems enables real-time object detection, facial recognition, and anomaly detection, but they remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, creating critical security risks. This survey reviews detection methods tailored for real-time surveillance...

The expansion of transportation infrastructure into geologically complex mountainous regions of China has increased encounters with gas-bearing non-coal strata during tunnel construction. Unlike coal-measure gas systems, gas occurrences in carbonate, clastic, and metamorphic rocks present distinct c...

Against the backdrop of global food-security concerns, climate change, farmland constraints, and accelerating urbanization, modern agriculture is shifting from a land-dependent model toward a new paradigm shaped by spatial reconfiguration, energy integration, advanced equipment, and digital intellig...

Heavy oil reservoirs often retain substantial remaining oil after polymer flooding with vertical wells due to unfavorable oil-water mobility ratios and reservoir heterogeneity. Although horizontal wells can improve oil displacement efficiency by providing a larger contact area with the formation, sy...

Hyperspectral image classification is a central task in remote sensing information extraction. Conventional approaches follow a reconstruct-then-classify paradigm, which entails large data volumes, high computational cost, and poor real-time performance. This paper presents an adaptive hyperspectra...

This paper develops a dynamical systems model of an economy with recursively self-improving artificial intelligence and financialization. The model features quadratic self-amplification in both AI capability ($\lambda A^2$) and financial capital ($\gamma_F K_f^2$), coupled through investment flows....
