Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are proving to be a promising platform design for multidisciplinary autonomous operability with a wide range of applications in marine ecology and geoscience.Here, two novel contributions towards increasing the autonomous Rotary Glassware Washers navigation capability of a new AUV prototype (the Guanay II) as a
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer a powerful technology for sensing and transmitting data across vast geographical regions.However, limitations inherent to WSNs, such as low-power sensor units, communication constraints, and limited processing capabilities, can significantly impact their lifespan.To address these limitations and enhance the ene
This paper presents a novel adaptive parallel Expected Improvement (EI) infilling strategy for Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) by introducing a two-staged Non-parametric Population Monte Carlo Sampling (NPMS) scheme.The samples are uniformly generated from EI function in the first stage and converge to sub-domains of high EI values thresholded
The contrast in Tablet Bag bed roughness versus apron roughness has, until recently, received insufficient attention, despite its significant role in causing downstream scouring.In this study, a validated numerical model has employed to investigate the impact of apron geometry, including its roughness and length, on downstream scouring.In present m
