Abstract Traditional e-commerce recommendation systems often struggle with dynamic user preferences and a vast array of products, leading to suboptimal user experiences. To address this, our study presents a Personalized Adaptive Multi-Product Recommendation System (PAMR) leveraging transfer learning and Bi-GRU (Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units). Using a large dataset of user reviews from Amazon and Flipkart, we employ transfer learning with pre-trained models (AlexNet, GoogleNet, ResNet-50) to extract high-level attributes from product data, ensuring effective feature representation even with limited data. Bi-GRU captures both spatial and sequential dependencies in user-item interactions. The innovation of this study lies… More >

Abstract Inspired by the unidirectional liquid spreading on Nepenthes peristome, Araucaria leaf, butterfly wings, etc., various microfluidic devices have been developed for water collection, irrigation, physical/chemical reaction, and oil–water separation [1-3]. Despite extensive progress, most natural and artificial structures fail to enhance the Laplace pressure difference or capillary force, thus suffering from a low unidirectional capillary height (< 30 mm). In this work, asymmetric re-entrant structures with long overhangs and connected forward/lateral microchannels are fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) printing, resulting in a significantly increased unidirectional capillary height of 102.3 mm for water, which approximately corresponds to the More >

Abstract Hatch spacing is a crucial parameter for achieving superior mechanical properties during the process of laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) process. However, the optimum hatch spacing is based on trial and error approaches using pre-existing experience. In this paper, we have systematically compared the porosity characteristics, microstructure evolution, and thermal gradients in double tracks of AlSi10Mg under various hatch spacings during blue laser directed energy deposition (BL-DED). A peculiar phenomenon of pore segregation is observed at the boundary of the overlapping zone of adjacent deposited tracks, where the porosity is almost 8 times that of… More >

Abstract Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology has the advantages of high-efficiency and low-cost to fabricate large-scaled components with medium-complexity. 2319 aluminum alloy is a widely used in aerospace and military industries. Problems of porosity, residual stress, distortion, and poor mechanical properties were focused on in this paper. The mechanism of defect formation during fabrication and strengthening mechanism of peening process were investigated. In order to learn the droplet transfer and molten pool flow behavior, CFD models of molten pools for the pulse mode of CMT (CMT + P) and pulse reverse polarity CMT mode… More >

Abstract Tailoring thermal history during additive manufacturing (AM) offers a viable approach to customising the microstructure and properties of materials without changing alloy compositions, which is generally overlooked as it is hard to achieve in commercial materials. In this work, a customised Fe-Ni-Ti-Al maraging steel with rapid precipitation kinetics offers the opportunity to leverage thermal history during AM for achieving large-range tunable strength-ductility combinations without post heat treatment or changing alloy chemistry. The Fe-Ni-Ti-Al maraging steel was processed by laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) with different deposition strategies to tailor the thermal history. As the phase transformation… More >

Abstract Arrière-plan: L’information sur la possibilité de rédiger des Directives Anticipées (DA) est une nécessité et représente un enjeu majeur sur les plans médical, éthique, légal. Les difficultés sont nombreuses, organisationnelles ou culturelles, et c’est aussi vrai dans l’univers de la cancérologie, où les DA (et plus largement les discussions anticipées) revêtent une importance cruciale. Sujet éminemment sensible, l’abord des DA (donc d’une réflexion sur la fin de vie) nécessite un travail d’acculturation à la fois sociétale et médico-soignante. Une démarche institutionnelle a donc été élaborée, dans l’objectif d’un déploiement d’outils d’information, de formation des professionnels,… More >

Abstract In meshless methods, although elements constructing an analysis domain are not required, the domain should be represented in some way, instead. A scalar field g(x), that contains the analysis domain, is sometimes employed, and the boundary of analysis domain is represented as an implicit surface, g(x) = 0. In this study, we consider generating an implicit surface from scattered points on the surface of an object. The scattered points are obtained by a three-dimensional scanning device. To generate g(x), field values f_ijk on N3 uniform grid points x_ijk are required. Although the field values f_ijk have been… More >

Abstract Robotic Laser-Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED) offers significant advantages in terms of workplace size and kinematic flexibility for part fabrication. However, its potential is hindered by challenges such as toolpath precision and speed inconsistency compared to traditional CNC machines. These limitations critically affect melt pool dynamics, temperature consistency, and ultimately, the geometric integrity of fabricated parts, areas that are still not thoroughly understood or quantified.
This preliminary research aims to investigate the impact of these inaccuracies on melt pool morphology and part quality, utilizing in-situ collected speed/position data with a digital twin model, notably the Eagar-Tsai… More >

Abstract In this study two novel forms of textile-assisted direct ink writing (DIW) of room temperature vulcanised (RTV) silicones were explored: Silicone DIW on spandex fabric, and Silicone DIW on dissolvable fabrics. These processes were evaluated by incorporating resulting components into 4 soft robotic devices: impact resistant elbow pads, a soft passive suction cup gripper, and two fiber embedded inflatable tendril-like soft grippers.

Abstract The study of boundary-layer transition and turbulence plays a crucial role in the development and design of high-speed aircrafts. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is a numerical tool that enables the capture of flow phenomena across all scales, making it highly valuable for investigating the mechanism and process of transition and turbulence. In the DNS community, the prevailing approach involves directly resolving the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. However, certain high-order effects lie beyond the capabilities of NS models when simulating compressible transition and turbulence under specific circumstances. To address this limitation, we have developed a DNS method… More >
