The influence of the thickness, phase composition, and morphology of AlₓCuᵧ intermetallic compound (IMC) interlayers on the mechanical integrity of Al/Cu bimetallic electrical connectors was investigated through experimental simulation under dynamic and static conditions. Al/Cu joints were produced by continuous-drive friction welding (CDFW) and subsequently modified either by extending friction time (dynamic conditions) or by …

Air pollution in Serbia is characterized by emphasized seasonal variability, with the heating period representing the most critical phase in terms of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Understanding both short-term dynamics and spatial distribution of PM2.5 in urban environments remains a key challenge. The research focuses on the assessment of PM2.5 variability in Novi Sad, combining …

This article presents a novel rectangular waveguide bandpass filter with multiple TZs using capacitive planar insert technology. A three-symmetrical rectangular shape single split complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is designed on a Roger RO4350 dielectric substrate and placed in the transverse plane of a standard WR-90 rectangular waveguide. The distance between these planar inserts is …

Compliant Mechanisms (CMs), along with Soft Robotic devices formed therewith, may be defined as engineering systems achieving force and motions transmission via the deflection of flexible members. CMs have increasingly gained a strong foothold in the scientific arena owing to their hinge-less nature, shock resistance, potential single-piece manufacturability, safety in human-machine interaction, minimal maintenance requirements, …

The rapid rise in the share of renewable energy generation in power systems has made accurate short- and medium-term power forecasting a fundamental requirement for modern grids. Wind and photovoltaic (PV) power production exhibit strong variability driven by meteorological conditions and temporal patterns, creating significant challenges for generation scheduling, reserve allocation, grid stability, and energy …

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the inability of the heart to maintain adequate circulation to meet metabolic demands. Despite advances in therapy, HF remains associated with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs, largely due to delayed diagnosis and limited accessibility of definitive imaging methods. Early identification, particularly in primary care …
