Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9092: DSM-Based Quantitative Comparison of Centralized and Modular Architectures of a Field-Deployed Electrohydraulic Lifting Device, Validated by Prototype Experiments
8+ hour, 21+ 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....
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9093: Security and Safety of Large Language Models—A Use Case for Extended Reality Environments
8+ hour, 32+ 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…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9090: Dual-Channel Multi-Level Model for Quantitative Assessment of Data Security in Corporate Networks
10+ hour, 56+ 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…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9088: Bounded Spatial Residual Adaptation for Multi-Station GNSS Displacement-Residual Forecasting
11+ hour, 29+ 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…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9087: Energy-Efficient, Conservation-Safe Museum Lighting: A Blue-to-Yellow Ratio and Relative Damage Index LED Screening Framework
11+ hour, 42+ 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…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9083: PV-STAM: Velocity-Aware Attention for Mapless Deep Reinforcement Learning Navigation in Dynamic Environments
12+ hour, 8+ 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…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9082: When Implicit Offence Is Not Necessarily Negative: Pragmatic Strategies and Sentiment Polarity in Chinese Online Attacks
12+ hour, 29+ min ago (538+ words) This study investigates how sentiment polarity relates to offensive function in Chinese online attacks, focusing on cases where offence is expressed implicitly rather than through explicit negative wording. Using a 1400-item Chinese online-text corpus derived from TOXICN and its pragmatics-oriented…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9081: Extension of a Crop Modeling Framework for Building User and Programming Interfaces
12+ hour, 30+ min ago (277+ words) Crop models are increasingly incorporated into web applications, but their user and programming interfaces are often developed separately from the model implementation. We extended Cropbox, a crop modeling framework written in Julia, to derive both interfaces from model declarations written…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9079: Influence of Terrain Parameters on Tire Forces and Moments Under Multi-Pass Loading
12+ hour, 57+ min ago (259+ words) The dynamic response of soft terrain under repeated vehicle passes significantly influences off-road vehicle mobility and performance. The primary innovation of this research is the integration of loading–unloading hysteresis, multi-pass terrain-state evolution, and sensitivity analyses within a unified HSSTM-based…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9076: Explainable Cattle Identification via ArcFace Embeddings and Vision–Language Explanations
1+ day, 6+ hour ago (567+ words) Individual cattle identification underpins traceability, genetic management and disease surveillance in precision livestock farming. Ear tags and RFID remain the dominant practice but are subject to loss, tampering and welfare concerns, which motivates contactless biometric alternatives. Most deep learning systems…...
