Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9090: Dual-Channel Multi-Level Model for Quantitative Assessment of Data Security in Corporate Networks
37+ min ago (507+ words) Modern corporate networks operate in increasingly complex and heterogeneous environments, which complicates the objective assessment of their current security state. This study proposes a dual-channel multi-level model for quantitative assessment of data security in corporate networks using a predefined list…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9083: PV-STAM: Velocity-Aware Attention for Mapless Deep Reinforcement Learning Navigation in Dynamic Environments
1+ hour, 48+ min ago (678+ words) Mapless deep reinforcement learning (DRL) navigation in dynamic indoor environments is difficult under single-frame 2D LiDAR, which reports where an obstacle is but not whether it is approaching. We introduce the Positional-Velocity Spatio-Temporal Attention Module (PV-STAM), a compact perception block (19,968 trainable…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9081: Extension of a Crop Modeling Framework for Building User and Programming Interfaces
2+ hour, 10+ min ago (277+ words) Crop models are increasingly incorporated into web applications, but their user and programming interfaces are often developed separately from the model implementation. We extended Cropbox, a crop modeling framework written in Julia, to derive both interfaces from model declarations written…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9076: Explainable Cattle Identification via ArcFace Embeddings and Vision–Language Explanations
20+ hour, 4+ 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 9075: An Investigative Study of Widely Used Ergonomic Risk Assessment Methods Based on Machine Learning and MCDM Approaches
21+ hour, 19+ min ago (512+ words) REBA, RULA, and OWAS are widely used observational ergonomic risk assessment methods based on predefined ordinal scoring rules. The final risk scores generated by these methods play a critical role in determining and prioritizing ergonomic interventions under limited resources to…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9072: UX Design Guidelines for Teaching Procedural Knowledge in Educational VR: Medium-Specific Message Design Strategies, Learning Effects, and Consistent Improvement Across Learners
21+ hour, 52+ min ago (497+ words) Research on educational virtual reality (VR) has focused on learning outcomes, but less on the design strategies that create those outcomes or whether benefits are consistent across different learners. This study created user experience (UX) design guidelines for educational VR…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9066: IVYA-ZRP: An Enhanced Zone Routing Protocol with Zone Radius Optimization for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (394+ words) With the rapid development of wireless communication technologies, mobile devices, and distributed systems, the scale and dynamics of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are increasing, which results in increasingly stringent requirements for routing protocols. The Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), as…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9065: Bayesian Biaffine Variational Graph Convolutional Network for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (496+ words) Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) aims to identify the sentiment polarity expressed toward a specific aspect in a sentence. Existing sequential and Transformer-based methods can effectively capture contextual semantics, but they often lack explicit modeling of aspect–opinion relations. Graph-based approaches…...
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
1+ day, 1+ hour 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 9060: Research on Active Control Method for Thermal Error of Moving-Column Horizontal Machining Centers
1+ day, 2+ hour ago (394+ words) This paper investigates the thermal characteristics of machine tools under the influence of multiple heat sources and proposes an active temperature control method. The study was conducted under steady-state conditions with a constant feed rate of 10 m/min and no…...
