Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9088: Bounded Spatial Residual Adaptation for Multi-Station GNSS Displacement-Residual Forecasting

32+ 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

45+ 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 9086: Experimental Study of Gas Thermodynamic Responses and Sealing Plug Deterioration Characteristics in Compressed Air Energy Storage Caverns

1+ hour, 10+ min ago   (591+ words) During the frequent charging, discharging, and storage processes of underground compressed air energy storage systems, the damage and degradation of sealing plugs directly affect the long-term stability of gas storage caverns. Using a self-developed cyclic charging–storage–discharging–restorage gas…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9075: An Investigative Study of Widely Used Ergonomic Risk Assessment Methods Based on Machine Learning and MCDM Approaches

20+ hour, 41+ min ago   (512+ words) REBA, RULA, and OWAS are widely used observational ergonomic risk assessment methods based on predefined ordinal scoring rules. The final risk scores generated by these methods play a critical role in determining and prioritizing ergonomic interventions under limited resources to…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9058: From Risk Visualization to Human-Centred Interfaces: A Scoping Review of Digital Technologies for Risk Communication

1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (478+ words) Digital risk communication increasingly relies on interactive technologies to transform complex, uncertain, and probabilistic information into forms that can support human understanding and decision-making. Yet the literature is fragmented across application domains, technologies, and interaction paradigms. This scoping review maps…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9006: An Exact Continuous-Time Markov Chain Framework for Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Multi-Product Push–Pull Production Systems

2+ day, 19+ hour ago   (415+ words) Multi-product production systems require effective coordination among production, intermediate storage, downstream processing, and customer demand, particularly under stochastic operating conditions and finite capacity. Unlike existing analytical studies that mainly examine either single-product push–pull systems or multi-product manufacturing systems separately,…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8979: A Predictive, Invertible Branched-Beam Model for Monolithic Dual-Resonance Slitted Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters

3+ day, 1+ hour ago   (524+ words) A piezoelectric cantilever with a longitudinal slit splits one bending resonance into two closely spaced peaks. This is attractive for two-frequency sources. However, existing models fit, rather than predict, the resonances. We develop a predictive branched-beam model where the harvester…...
