The rise of AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT has reshaped software development by providing substantial support for coding and debugging tasks. Although these tools enhance productivity and reduce routine workload, existing research has largely emphasized short-term efficiency gains, leav...

Deep geothermal resources are environmentally friendly and represent a highly competitive form of clean energy. However, low rock-breaking energy combined with high rock strength results in a low rate of penetration (ROP), which significantly restricts the efficient utilization of geothermal resourc...

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS), characterized by low surface energy and minimal adhesion to liquids, have attracted extensive attention for applications such as self-cleaning, waterproofing, dust resistance, and corrosion protection. Beyond these traditional functions, the de-icing and anti-icing c...

Non-local means (NL-means) is a state-of-the-art image denoising algorithm that leverages self-similarity by averaging similar patches weighted by the classic $L_2$-norm distance. In this work, we extend the similarity measure to arbitrary $L_p$-norms ($1 \le p \le \infty$) and investigate their imp...

This study investigates the finite-time attitude tracking problem of spacecraft. We employ finite-time control methods to develop a novel adaptive controller. The controller utilizes a time-varying non-singular adaptive fast terminal sliding mode. The time-varying sliding mode dynamically adjusts th...

The Africa-Atlantic Gas Pipeline (AAGP), also known as the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline, is a major transcontinental infrastructure project poised to connect West African gas reserves with North African networks and European markets, potentially reshaping regional energy dynamics, boosting economic...

Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation technology, as a crucial research direction in multi-agent system cooperative control, while facing constraints in multiple areas, has demonstrated broad application prospects in military reconnaissance, disaster monitoring, agricultural plant prote...

Poultry farming plays a vital role in global food production, requiring efficient management to ensure productivity and animal welfare. Traditional methods, largely based on manual monitoring, are often inefficient, error-prone, and costly. With the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, int...

Thermal cracking poses a significant threat to the structural integrity and service life of mass concrete. The starch-based Temperature Rise Inhibitor (TRI) emerges as a sustainable and efficient bio-based solution that directly addresses the root cause - the intense heat release during early-age ce...

The primary objective of this work is to establish the existence, uniqueness, and exponential stability of piecewise weighted pseudo–almost automorphic solutions for impulsive high-order Hopfield neural networks formulated within Clifford algebras. Using the Banach fixed-point principle together wit...
