The growing requirement imposed by dam safety regulations and guidelines necessitates the improvement and rehabilitation of rockfill embankment dams.These hydraulic structures are of great importance, and they can be subjected to overtopping flows which can significantly compromise the structural integrity.One of the defense mechanisms utilized is

Abstract Visual working memory (VWM) plays a crucial role in temporarily maintaining and manipulating visual information.Retro-cue benefit (RCB) refers to the enhancement of memory performance when attention is directed toward a subset of items in VWM after their initial encoding.Our recent electroencephalogram (EEG) studies indicate that cue valid

The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) strategy addresses the challenges of low inertia and weak damping in a grid, exacerbated by the high penetration of renewable energy sources, by simulating the external characteristics of synchronous generators (SGs).However, the power electronic nature of VSGs can lead to a significant overshoot in the grid

Birds exhibit an assortment of behavioral strategies to cope with variable environmental conditions during reproduction, including altering nest construction behaviors.In species building enclosed domed nests, the microclimate within nests is influenced not only by its structure and the surrounding vegetation but also by the orientation of the nest
