Effect of geometric scaling on the microstructural development of selective laser melted metal parts by Ng, Angelin Shia Yin

“…This study discusses the effect of geometric scaling, delay time (i.e., the time it takes for the laser beam to jump from one scan vector to the adjacent scan vector, which is controlled by the jump speed), gas flow, and defocusing distance on microstructural development and mechanical properties of selective laser melted 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel has been used in various industries such as aerospace and petrochemical industries due to its superior properties such as very good corrosion resistance. …”

Multimodal fusion for navigation of autonomous mobile robots using a deep learning method by Lee, Anthony Wen Hao

“…Although differential-drive robots possess collision avoidance capabilities, they usually face challenges in navigating human environments that are more crowded, thus there is a demand for better capabilities in differential-drive robots. Many studies have been done to explore new approaches such as using advanced sensor technologies and machine learning algorithms, which aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of these collision-avoidance methods for robots. …”

Climate projections for Himalaya–Tibetan Highland by Bhuyan, Debi P., Salunke, Popat, Chadha, Meera

“…The fidelity of 47 CMIP6 climate models in simulating the monsoon (June to August) over Himalaya–Tibetan Highland (HTH) is examined for the historical period (1975-2014) and 8 best performing models have been identified. It is found that the multi-model mean of 47 CMIP6 models (MMM) still exhibits systematic cold and wet biases for Tas and precipitation, respectively during the historical period. …”
