This paper presents a decentralized communication planning algorithm for cooperative terrain-based navigation (dec-TBN) with autonomous underwater vehicles.The proposed algorithm uses forward simulation to approximate the value of communicating at each time step.The simulations are used to build a directed acyclic graph that can be searched to prov
Using organic amendments to improve arable soils in the long term is a careful balancing act of applying amendments with the right carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio) at adequate quantity to avoid nitrogen (N) leaching while promoting or retaining crop growth in the short term.So far, most studies examining the relationship between C:N ratio and N
Bacteria develop resistance against antimicrobial drugs, and new remediations are constantly being introduced in the market.Silver and its compounds have strong resistance against different bacteria.The vegetable waste extract-synthesized silver nanoparticles (VWE-AgNPs) blotting paper have distinct properties and potential applications because of
Power quality evaluation involves measurements and determinations of some power quality indicators.One of these indicators is represented by the power factor.The importance of the power factor as an indicator of power quality, both theoretical and practical, implies its determination or direct measurement as a necessity, especially in industrial en
Expansion joints are installed on the sodium pipelines of fast reactor power stations to absorb the displacement for thermal compensation.This can reduce the difficulty in the layout of pipelines, supports and hangers, effectively shorten the length of sodium pipelines and reduce the number of spring supports and hangers, thus realizing the compact
