Abstract:
... Transportation is a critical part of logistics in any economy. In the context of industrialization and modernization, a solution to enable utilization of autonomous vehicles that work with uncertain factors, high speed, and continuous motion is urgent. The anti-vibration control of this system plays a vital role in avoiding accidents, especially when sharing space with humans. Therefore, in this p ...

Abstract:
... The modernization of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including the transmission of signals on multiple frequencies has greatly promoted the development of the popular PPP (Precise Point Positioning) technique. A key issue of multi-frequency PPP is the handling of the observable-specific signal biases in order to allow for carrier-phase ambiguity resolution (AR). As a result, PPP modeling ...

Abstract:
... Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm and the ecological modernization theory (EMT), the current study examines the mediating effect of green innovation (GI) between green manufacturing practices (GMP) and corporate sustainable performance (CSP). In addition, it investigates the moderating effect of green organizational culture (GOC) on the relationship between GMP and GI. To test t ...

Abstract:
... This article presents the fluorescent characteristics of eight microalgae cultures of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. We show that the normalized fluorescence temperature curves of the studied Pseudo-nitzschia cultures are very similar. Due to this similarity, the authors obtained the “passport” characteristic, averaged on the measured characteristics, which with high accuracy approximates the fluores ...
