    Fusion of Type-2 Neutrosophic Similarity Measure in Signatures Verification Systems: A New Forensic Document Analysis Paradigm

    Shahlaa Mashhadani1,*, Wisal Hashim Abdulsalam1, Oday Ali Hassen2, Saad M. Darwish3

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.39, No.5, pp. 805-828, 2024, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.054611 - 31 October 2024

    Abstract Signature verification involves vague situations in which a signature could resemble many reference samples or might differ because of handwriting variances. By presenting the features and similarity score of signatures from the matching algorithm as fuzzy sets and capturing the degrees of membership, non-membership, and indeterminacy, a neutrosophic engine can significantly contribute to signature verification by addressing the inherent uncertainties and ambiguities present in signatures. But type-1 neutrosophic logic gives these membership functions fixed values, which could not adequately capture the various degrees of uncertainty in the characteristics of signatures. Type-1 neutrosophic representation is also… More >

    Mahyar Kargaran*, Hamid Reza Goshayeshi, Ali Reza Alizadeh Jajarm

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.5, pp. 1461-1476, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.056284 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract Solar energy is a valuable renewable energy source, and photovoltaic (PV) systems are a practical approach to harnessing this energy. Nevertheless, low energy efficiency is considered a major setback of the system. Moreover, high cell temperature and reflection of solar irradiance from the panel are considered chief culprits in this regard. Employing pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) is an innovative and useful approach to improving solar panel performance. This study presents the results of the power performance of a PV panel attached to a newly designed spiral pulsating heat pipe, while graphene oxide nanofluid with three More >

    Cooling and Optimization in the Groove of the Outer Rotor Hub Motor

    Zhuo Liu, Yecui Yan*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.5, pp. 1443-1460, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.056091 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract The external rotor hub motor adopts direct drive mode, no deceleration drive device, and has a compact structure. Its axial size is smaller than that of a deceleration-driven hub motor, which greatly reduces the weight of the vehicle and increases the cruising range of the vehicle. Because of the limited special working environment and performance requirements, the hub motor has a small internal space and a large heat generation, so it puts forward higher requirements for heat dissipation capacity. For the external rotor hub motor, a new type of in-tank water-cooled structure of hub motor… More >

    Interplay between Plants and Microbial Communities: Insights from Holobionts and Environmental Interactions

    Sejin Choi1,2, Ho-Seok Lee1,2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.10, pp. 2519-2534, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.058012 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract Plants interact with a complex network of microorganisms, forming a dynamic holobiont that is crucial for their health, growth, and adaptation. This interconnected system is deeply influenced by environmental factors, which modulate the relationships within the plant microbiome. Key environmental drivers such as light, temperature, and moisture can alter the balance of these interactions, impacting plant immunity, resilience, and overall fitness. The traditional disease triangle model, which emphasizes plant-pathogen-environment interactions, is enhanced by incorporating the role of the microbiome, revealing how microbial communities contribute to disease outcomes. This review highlights the importance of shifting focus More >

    Effects of Forest Types on Soil Available Nutrients and Carbon Contents in Coastal Areas, China

    Zirui Chen1,2, Jiale Liu1,2, Haijun Sun1,2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.10, pp. 2557-2569, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.056868 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract Clarifying the soil nutrient dynamics caused by forest type variations in the coastal region helps scientifically to apply fertilizer to forest plantations and enhance the carbon (C) sink capacity. Pure forests of Ligustrum and Metasequoia, as well as their mixed forests, in a coastal region of China were investigated by collecting 0–20 and 20–40 cm soil samples and analyzing their differences in bulk density, water content, pH, soil organic matter (SOM), ammonium (NH4+–N), nitrate (NO3–N) and total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP) and potassium (AK), microbial biomass C (MBC) and N (MBN), and enzyme activity.

    MA-Res U-Net: Design of Soybean Navigation System with Improved U-Net Model

    Qianshuo Liu, Jun Zhao*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.10, pp. 2663-2681, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.056054 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract Traditional machine vision algorithms have difficulty handling the interference of light and shadow changes, broken rows, and weeds in the complex growth circumstances of soybean fields, which leads to erroneous navigation route segmentation. There are additional shortcomings in the feature extractFion capabilities of the conventional U-Net network. Our suggestion is to utilize an improved U-Net-based method to tackle these difficulties. First, we use ResNet’s powerful feature extraction capabilities to replace the original U-Net encoder. To enhance the concentration on characteristics unique to soybeans, we integrate a multi-scale high-performance attention mechanism. Furthermore, to do multi-scale feature… More >

    Effect of Liquid Temperature on Surface and Mechanical Characteristics of Al-Mg Alloy Treated with a Cavitating Waterjet

    Can Kang1,*, Shifeng Yan1, Haixia Liu2, Jie Chen2, Kejin Ding3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.11, pp. 2431-2442, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.055688 - 28 October 2024

    Abstract The presented study aims to reveal the effect of liquid temperature on cavitation-induced erosion of an Al-Mg alloy. An experimental work was conducted using a submerged cavitating waterjet to impact the specimen surface. For a certain cavitation number and a given standoff distance, different liquid temperatures were considered. Accordingly, a comprehensive comparison was implemented by inspecting the mass loss and surface morphology of the tested specimens. The results show that the cumulative mass loss increases continuously with the liquid temperature. A cavitation zone with an irregular profile becomes evident as the cavitation treatment proceeds.

    The Wellbore Temperature and Pressure Behavior during the Flow Testing of Ultra-Deepwater Gas Wells

    Xingbin Zhao1, Neng Yang2, Hao Liang3, Mingqiang Wei2,*, Benteng Ma2, Dongling Qiu2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.11, pp. 2523-2540, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.052766 - 28 October 2024

    Abstract The transient flow testing of ultra-deepwater gas wells is greatly impacted by the low temperatures of seawater encountered over extended distances. This leads to a redistribution of temperature within the wellbore, which in turn influences the flow behavior. To accurately predict such a temperature distribution, in this study a comprehensive model of the flowing temperature and pressure fields is developed. This model is based on principles of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass conservation, and energy conservation and relies on the Runge-Kutta method for accurate integration in time of the resulting equations. The analysis includes the… More >
