About the Publisher

Academic Publishing insists on taking academic exchange and publication as the main line, carrying out comprehensive management based on science and technology, and fully exploring excellent international publishing resources. Within 5 years, it will form a strategic framework and scale with science (S), technology (T), medicine (M), education (E), and humanities and arts (H) as the main publishing fields. Academic Publishing is headquartered in Singapore and based in Malaysia, with the United States and China providing the main scientific and academic resources. At the same time, it has established long-term good cooperative relations with other publishing companies, scientific research communities, and academic organizations in more than a dozen countries and regions. Academic Publishing uses English and Chinese as its main publishing languages, mainly publishing books, journals, and conference papers in print and online. The vast majority of publications follow the international open access policy, providing stable and long-term quality and professional publications. With the joint efforts of the expert team and our professional editorial team, our publications will gradually be indexed by international databases in stages to provide convenient and professional retrieval for various scholars. At the same time, manuscripts we accept will be subject to the peer review principle, and cutting-edge and innovative research articles will be preferentially accepted for peer reference and discussion. All kinds of our publications are welcome for peer to contribute, access, and download.

Research progress on thermal comfort evaluation in vehicle cab

In order to improve thermal comfort of vehicle cab, reduce driver fatigue and further improve work efficiency, researches on thermal comfort of vehicle cab are summarized. Research background of thermal comfort for vehicle cab is analyzed. And then related research progress on thermal environment in vehicle cab is studied from aspect of time and space, and thermal environment inside and outside vehicle are compared. Affecting factors of thermal comfort in vehicle cab are discussed in depth, which conclude thermophysical parameters, human physiological factors, clothing thermal resistance and other secondary factors. And thermal comfort evaluation indexes are analyzed in depth. Evaluation methods of thermal comfort in uniform environment are analyzed, related experimental research and theoretical analysis are summarized, and it also points out some problems in thermal comfort of vehicle at this stage, and also gives corresponding solutions. The future trend of thermal comfort of vehicle cab is predicted. Analysis results can provide theoretical guidance for optimization design of air conditioning supply parameters and structural parameters, and has significant meaning of improving thermal comfort of vehicle cab.

Deep neural network enhanced modeling and adaptive control of a malfunctional spacecraft under unknown accessory breakage

This manuscript presents a sophisticated deep neural networks (DNNs)-driven adaptive control paradigm for concurrently regulating the attitude and suppressing structural oscillations of a flexible spacecraft in a fully three-dimensional domain. By leveraging Hamilton’s principle, the spacecraft’s motion is formulated as an infinite-dimensional dynamic model described by partial differential equations, capturing the subtle interactions between rigid-body rotational maneuvers and flexible panel deformations. In contrast to traditional schemes, the proposed control methodology integrates a DNNs module to compensate for uncertain actuator anomalies and external input disturbances in real time, thereby ensuring fault tolerance under arbitrary, potentially unbounded actuator malfunctions. A rigorously constructed Lyapunov-based stability analysis corroborates that the system’s energy, angular rates, and transverse deflections remain uniformly bounded and asymptotically converge to zero, even in the face of multiple actuator failures. This theoretical guarantee stems from the synergistic interplay between the network’s representational power and the adaptive control law’s robust learning capabilities. Extensive computational experiments demonstrate the efficacy of the developed framework in orchestrating high-precision attitude stabilization while simultaneously mitigating detrimental vibrations, showcasing the superior performance and resiliency of the proposed DNNs-infused control architecture.

Design and implementation of a cleaning robot

This study focuses on the development of a cleaning robot, covering the three main aspects of mechanical design, circuit design, and software design. First, in the area of mechanical design, we created a structure capable of agile movement and efficient cleaning to ensure the robot can operate smoothly in various environments. Second, for circuit design, we developed a microcontroller-based control system to coordinate the operation of various components, including drive motors, sensors, and image recognition modules. Furthermore, in the software design aspect, we utilized YOLO (You Only Look Once) and OpenCV technologies to enable the robot to accurately identify and classify waste during the automatic cleaning process. Finally, we conducted practical cleaning experiments to verify the robot’s ability to recognize waste and the accuracy of waste classification. The experimental results show that the cleaning robot not only possesses the ability to recognize waste but also accurately classify it, demonstrating its potential for practical applications.
