Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9076: Explainable Cattle Identification via ArcFace Embeddings and Vision–Language Explanations
13+ hour, 49+ min ago (567+ words) Individual cattle identification underpins traceability, genetic management and disease surveillance in precision livestock farming. Ear tags and RFID remain the dominant practice but are subject to loss, tampering and welfare concerns, which motivates contactless biometric alternatives. Most deep learning systems…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9070: Dynamic Interaction Mechanism and Mitigation Strategy for High-Speed Railway Embankments Crossing Active Ground Fissures Under Double-Track Train Loading
16+ hour, 9+ min ago (379+ words) Ground fissures pose a serious threat to the deformation stability and operational safety of high-speed railway embankments. In this study, a three-dimensional transient finite element model was developed to investigate the dynamic response of a double-track high-speed railway embankment crossing…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9067: The Influence of Substrate and the Origin of Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeasts on the Microbiological, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Properties of Kombucha-like Beverages
18+ hour, 44+ min ago (524+ words) Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage produced using SCOBY and is recognized for its potential health-promoting properties. This study investigated the effects of fermentation substrate and the geographic origin of the SCOBY culture on the microbiological, physicochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9063: Predicting Negative Day-Ahead Electricity Prices Across 12 European Bidding Zones: A Gate-Closure-Audited Explainable Machine Learning Framework
19+ hour, 30+ min ago (428+ words) The growing penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) is increasing the frequency of very low and negative prices, although these events also depend on demand, transmission capacity, price-regime persistence and flexibility resources. This study examines which pre-auction and diagnostic variables…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9064: Lightweight Design and Static–Dynamic Analysis of a Gantry Crane Main Girder Based on Multi-Objective Topology Optimization
19+ hour, 30+ min ago (410+ words) Existing lightweight optimization studies on gantry crane girders merely adopt static strength and stiffness constraints, ignoring fatigue damage induced by dynamic loads and welding fabrication, which results in impractical optimal designs. To address this limitation, a novel multi-objective topology optimization…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9059: Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Biomass-Supported Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Healthcare Facilities Across Different Climatic Regions of Türkiye Using HOMER Pro and Fuzzy AHP–TOPSIS
20+ hour, 49+ min ago (432+ words) Ensuring reliable and sustainable energy supply in healthcare facilities is essential due to the critical nature of healthcare services. This study presents a comprehensive techno-economic, environmental, reliability, and operational assessment of biomass-supported hybrid renewable energy systems across five climatically distinct…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9053: Green Recovery of Phenolic-Rich Extracts from Pineapple Crowns Using Deep Eutectic Solvents: FTIR Characterization and Chemometric Optimization
20+ hour, 59+ min ago (558+ words) This study presents an integrated green analytical strategy combining deep eutectic solvent (DES) screening, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), principal component analysis (PCA), and Box–Behnken response surface optimization for the valorization of pineapple crowns, an underexplored agro-industrial by-product. An…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9054: Chemical Composition, Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oils from Two Croatian Lavandin ‘Budrovka’ Accessions (Lavandula × intermedia Emeric ex Loisel.)
22+ hour, 2+ min ago (546+ words) Lavandula × intermedia (lavandin) is among the most cultivated Lavandula species, valued for its high essential oil yield and broad applications across different industries. Although it has traditionally been regarded as inferior to true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), particularly within the field…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9002: BDS-3 Multi-Frequency UDUC PPP-AR Using a Transformer-Based Improved Stochastic Model
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (553+ words) Traditional stochastic models that rely solely on elevation angle and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) struggle to adapt to the precision differences in BDS-3 multi-frequency observations, making it difficult to support high-precision positioning in complex scenarios. To address the issues that existing…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9003: A Knowledge Graph-Augmented Large Language Model Framework for Context-Aware Question-Answering and Intelligent Feedback Generation
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (533+ words) This study proposes EQAS (Empowered Question-Answering System), a hybrid framework designed to support context-aware question-answering and intelligent feedback generation in domain-specific knowledge environments. EQAS integrates fine-tuned transformer-based models, instruction-guided large language models, domain-specific knowledge graphs, and LangChain-based vector retrieval to…...
