This article presents the functional properties of modified versions of the 2D pressure−pressure intensity probe allowing us to determine the vector of sound intensity on a plane using a mechatronic system with one or two miniature electret microphones.The introduction contains basic information about the application areas of the sound intens

In edge computing (EC), when the edge server (ES) is processing tasks delivered by the mobile devices (MDs), the MDs move outside the coverage of the ES, where task migration is required to ensure service continuity.Most current research on task migration ignores inter-task dependencies and uncertain computing environments, and it focuses mainly on

Wildfires in the urban-forest interface constitute a civil protection emergency, causing considerable personal injury and damage to properties.The potential impacts of wildfires on buildings can be minimized by reducing the surrounding fuel and the use of structural materials with low flammability.However, the costs associated with implementing the

Proper tuber Faux Plant maturity at harvest is an important factor in producing high quality Florida fresh market potatoes.A mature tuber has improved skin-set, bruise resistance, and storage life.Vine killing not only benefits tuber appearance but can also limit tuber size and improve tuber release from the vine at harvest.Tubers naturally mature

Frictional characteristics of a small aerostatic linear bearing are accurately evaluated by means of a Skin Care method, in which the force acting on the moving part of the bearing is measured as the inertial force.An optical interferometer is newly developed to measure the Doppler shift frequency of the laser light reflected on the small moving pa
