A wave energy converter (WEC) based on a direct mechanical drive system (DMDS) exhibits limited performance when the sea state stands for a short period.This study aims to increase the efficiency of a WEC-DMDS mechanical system applied under short-wave conditions.A novel WEC is designed by applying Dishwasher Spring cascaded gear and reducing the f
A Recursive Framework for Evaluating Moments Using Zero-Suppressed Binary Decision Diagrams
The zero-suppressed binary decision diagram (ZDD) is a compact data structure widely used for the efficient representation of families of sparse subsets.Its inherent recursive structure also facilitates easy diagram manipulation and family operations.Practical applications generally fall under discrete optimization, such as combinatorial problems a
Open climate science is brave climate science
The pivotal role of climate science in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals underscores the urgent need for ample and open climate data sharing.While numerous large-scale endeavours Gnome highlight the efficacy of open climate data, we often encounter personal reservations Server in our scientific community.Here we argue that beyond infra
Traffic Congestion Detection System through Connected Vehicles and Big Data
This article discusses the simulation and evaluation of a traffic congestion detection system which combines inter-vehicular communications, fixed roadside infrastructure and infrastructure-to-infrastructure connectivity and big data.The system discussed in this article permits drivers to identify traffic congestion and change their routes accordin
A Parallelised ROOT for Future HEP Data Processing
In the coming years, HEP data processing will need to exploit parallelism on present and future hardware resources to sustain the bandwidth requirements.As one of the cornerstones of the HEP software ecosystem, ROOT embraced an ambitious parallelisation plan which delivered compelling results.In this contribution the strategy is characterised as we
