9+ hour, 59+ min ago   (495+ words) Steel storage tanks are erected on site by multi-cylinder hydraulic lifting, conventionally from one power unit feeding all cylinders through a flow divider. Decentralized alternatives have not been evaluated for this task, and modularity in fluid power is rarely quantified....

10+ hour, 9+ min ago   (361+ words) This research investigates the security of large language models (LLMs) with the aim of identifying key security and safety threats, control measures, and governance considerations that are relevant to their trustworthy adoption in the Extended Reality (XR) domain. To achieve…...

11+ hour, 45+ min ago   (543+ words) The Northeastern Donkey represents an important animal genetic resource adapted to the semi-arid conditions of Brazil, being recognized for its hardiness and ability to survive under challenging environmental conditions. However, the progressive reduction in the use of these animals in…...

12+ hour, 34+ min ago   (443+ words) Spearmint is a medicinal and aromatic crop vulnerable to several diseases, and its cultivation relies heavily on chemical inputs, which can alter phytonutrient quality and raise environmental and health concerns. To address this, the current study focused on developing a…...

12+ hour, 34+ min ago   (507+ words) Modern corporate networks operate in increasingly complex and heterogeneous environments, which complicates the objective assessment of their current security state. This study proposes a dual-channel multi-level model for quantitative assessment of data security in corporate networks using a predefined list…...

13+ hour, 7+ min ago   (596+ words) Multi-station global navigation satellite system (GNSS) displacement-residual forecasting may benefit from neighbouring stations, yet unrestricted spatial aggregation can obscure station-local temporal dynamics and the independent value of spatial information. Whether neighbouring stations provide additional predictive information after a strong station-local…...

13+ hour, 7+ min ago   (447+ words) Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) is often attributed to elevated neural drive, yet neuromuscular and mechanical responses are rarely tracked concurrently. This study examined whether the two scale proportionally over the 1–4 min following a conditioning activity, with a maximal countermovement jump…...

13+ hour, 19+ min ago   (296+ words) Museums face a conflict between energy-efficient gallery lighting and protecting light-sensitive collections from photochemical damage: increasing the luminous efficacy of white LEDs requires shifting spectral power toward the high-energy blue band, accelerating degradation of organic materials. Prior work treated these…...

13+ hour, 45+ min ago   (468+ words) To clarify the water-sensitive deterioration mechanisms of red-bed soft rocks under repeated wetting–drying cycles, mudstone samples from two representative sites in the Sichuan Basin were investigated through multiscale experiments combining mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy…...

13+ hour, 45+ min ago   (678+ words) Mapless deep reinforcement learning (DRL) navigation in dynamic indoor environments is difficult under single-frame 2D LiDAR, which reports where an obstacle is but not whether it is approaching. We introduce the Positional-Velocity Spatio-Temporal Attention Module (PV-STAM), a compact perception block (19,968 trainable…...
