Given the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across a broad spectrum of applications, along with the urgent need for sustainable development, understanding the environmental sustainability of AI pipelines has become increasingly relevant. In this regard, however, the current state of the art lacks a reliable methodology for measuring environmental sustainability from a user-centered perspective (i.e., by considering all the operations typically performed by end users), which is essential for achieving awareness of the actual sustainability in the development and adoption of AI models. Starting from these considerations, this paper employs a rigorous methodology based 1) on the ISO standards for sustainability assessment and 2) on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) to measure and aggregate the Carbon Footprint required by each stage of an AI pipeline. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work constitutes the first to integrate GUM-based approaches into a user-driven AI pipeline. To illustrate the methodology, a case study on the use of AI models in biosignal processing is presented. Without losing generality, the results provide useful insights for implementing more sustainable AI practices, enabling a reliable, environment-oriented assessment of AI pipelines and guiding decisions toward reduced environmental impact.

This paper proposes a rapid, non-contact method for locating internal damage in composite materials based on Square-arrays LDV receiver combined with Laser ultrasonic generation (SALCLU). The method employs a four-point square sensing network group to extract reflected signals from damaged regions by subtracting signals from undamaged plates, enabling efficient damage orientation and localization. Simulations and experiments demonstrate the method’s effectiveness, with area coverage errors below 9.1% and center localization errors under 6.3 mm. This method enables the rapid and non-contact location of internal damage of composite plates without prior knowledge of properties.

Real-time monitoring of temperature in FPGAs is crucial to ensure system reliability, as local temperature variations can affect their performance. For these purposes, virtual temperature sensors such as Ring Oscillator (RO)-based sensors are widely used. However, efficiently implementing them with a minimal number of Look-Up Tables (LUTs) remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel temperature sensor architecture based on nonlinear oscillators, implemented on a 28 nm Artix-7 FPGA. The proposed approach minimizes the usage of FPGA resources while maintaining accurate thermal sensing. As a result, several nonlinear oscillators are analyzed, achieving better sensitivity (0.020%/°C) over a 25 % wider temperature range compared to other RO-based temperature sensors reported in the literature for the 28 nm technology node. These results highlight the potential of these oscillators as efficient, low-resource alternatives for real-time thermal monitoring in FPGA.

This paper addresses the influence of ship modeling accuracy on its magnetic signature showcased with a Polish Maritime Office ship Zodiak. Real-world measurements were carried out using an Underwater Measuring Module equipped with advanced magnetometers. The aim of the research is, after separating the permanent and induced magnetization components, the systematic simplification of the ship’s numerical model developed in Finite Element Method (FEM) environment, as well as changing the mesh parameters of an object and its surroundings and evaluation of the impact on its magnetic signature prediction accuracy both qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings demonstrate that significant model simplification can be achieved while preserving the magnetic signature’s fidelity, facilitating more efficient optimization processes for warship demagnetization systems and providing balance between complexity and computational efficiency of modeling. An important aspect of the article is the analysis of the degree of compliance of the simplified signature with the original. Classic statistical and quantitative indicators were used, but also a neural classifier with an augmented data set and an analysis based on the parameterization of the multi-dipole model. The end result is the guidance development for the FEM model builder to proceed on the basis of a detailed Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the ship.

All-ceramic rolling bearings represent critical components in extreme service environments, such as aerospace and high-speed machining. Consequently, accurate condition monitoring is paramount to preventing catastrophic failures and ensuring equipment reliability. In this context, predicting remaining useful life (RUL) remains the most challenging task within the fault prognostics process. This complexity arises from the intricate internal crack evolution mechanisms and the scarcity of fault data samples in practical applications. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel adaptive physics-informed digital twin framework. Initially, a high-fidelity physical evolution model is established by integrating a four-degree-of-freedom dynamic model with Paris’ law, incorporating precise fault localization based on phase difference analysis. Simultaneously, a bidirectional mapping mechanism based on physics-informed neural networks is constructed to achieve quantitative fault perception and high-fidelity signal generation, thereby bridging data gaps via adaptive incremental learning. Furthermore, systematic experimental validation is detailed to demonstrate the proposed digital twin’s capability to effectively infer future states, even under small-sample scenarios. Ultimately, the results indicate that the proposed method achieves an RUL prediction accuracy exceeding 98.3%, offering a reliable solution for precision measurement in data-limited contexts.

The passive failure of tunnel faces can significantly impact existing structures and underground utilities during shallow shield tunneling, particularly in coastal backfill sand. A novel experiment equipment was developed and applied to a series of four small-scale model tests to investigate the evolution of face passive failure under burial depth ratios (C/D) of 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3. Support pressures, ground surface uplifts, failure zones, and failure modes were examined experimentally and were complemented by numerical simulations for comparative analysis. Results indicate that the support pressure initially increased rapidly to the elastic limit, followed by a gradual rise to its peak value in all cases. A slight rebound in ultimate support pressures was observed for C/D = 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3, whereas it was negligible for C/D = 0.5. Additionally, the ground surface uplift was not a reliable criterion for assessing the passive failure of tunnel face, since it occurred before the face passive failure. The failure mode for C/D = 0.5 was an arched shape characterized by two logarithmic spirals. The configuration of failure modes was composed of an arch and an inverted trapezoid when C/D = 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3, in which the mode boundary consists of two logarithmic spirals and two straight lines. Numerical simulations were employed not only to validate the experimental findings but also to predict the feature of failure modes across various burial depth ratios. This study provides valuable insights into passive tunnel face stability and serves as a reference for reliable failure predictions in similar engineering projects.

This article presents an enhanced mathematical model for precision high-frequency current shunts, addressing limitations in existing models by incorporating capacitive mutual coupling between shunt struts and wave propagation effects using transmission line theory. Here, the model is applied to a 500-mA-wideband cage current shunt. However, it can be adopted to many different topologies. Components, including N-type connectors, PCB traces, and resistors, are characterized using ABCD matrices, with PCB parameters derived from FEM simulations and resistor characteristics from impedance bridge measurements. The results, validated against experimental data up to 1 MHz, demonstrate that the proposed distributed parameter model offers a more physically complete representation for evaluation of the AC-DC transfer difference, with reduced uncertainty in the phase shift, particularly at higher frequencies (> 50 kHz), compared with traditional lumped element models without consideration of capacitive mutual coupling between shunt struts. This refined modeling approach is crucial for reducing uncertainties and advancing the development of precision current shunts for demanding high-frequency and high-current metrology applications.

This study presents an advanced image processing methodology for enhancing Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) defect detection in historic masonry structures. A four-stage framework was developed, comprising adaptive signal enhancement using power transformation with parameters c = 1 and r = 2.5, which achieved 15 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement calculated via power spectral analysis; Sobel edge detection for precise anomaly boundary delineation; Otsu’s adaptive thresholding for binary segmentation, which reduced segmentation error by 12.3% compared to fixed threshold methods based on area deviation measurements; and morphological filtering to eliminate noise. Validated on a 1:1.875 scale model with known voids of dimensions 400 × 200 × 100 mm and at the Panlongshan section of the Ming Great Wall using a 400 MHz GPR system LTD-21000, the approach achieved mean planar and burial depth errors of 6.55% and 10.75% in laboratory tests. Field results showed planar discrepancies of 0.175 m and 0.033 m for survey lines 1 and 4, thereby enhancing GPR interpretability for non-destructive structural health monitoring.

Accurate determination of gas diffusion coefficients and adsorption capacity is crucial for investigating the adsorption characteristics and the evolution laws of adsorption-diffusion processes in porous media such as coal and shale. However, traditional apparatus is complex to operate, difficult to adapt to different sample materials, and suffers from inadequate gas sealing, thereby preventing integrated multi-module experiments. Moreover, conventional apparatus typically use granular samples, which deviate significantly from in-situ reservoir conditions. To address these limitations, an integrated gas adsorption-diffusion experimental apparatus was developed in this study. The apparatus comprises a gas supply system, a thermostatic system, a vacuum system, and a data acquisition system. It offers excellent sample replacement capability, rapid configuration switching, high pressure resistance, and reliable sealing. Isobaric diffusion and isothermal adsorption experiments were performed at various temperatures and confining pressures to elucidate the coupled effects of temperature and pressure on gas adsorption and diffusion behavior. At 30 °C, gas pressure of 1.5–3 MPa, and confining pressure of 6–10 MPa, the CO2 diffusion coefficient ranged from 0.7903 × 10-10 to 1.3628 × 10-10 m2/s. In the constant-pressure variable-temperature experiment, the diffusion coefficient ranged from 1.7990 × 10-10 to 2.2247 × 10-10 m2/s at 30–90 °C. The isothermal adsorption at 30 °C followed the Langmuir isotherm, with VL = 8.2794 cm3/g and b = 0.645.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of Internal Model Based Control (IMC) principle by emphasizing its application in inverter control for renewable energy integration, microgrids, and smart grid systems. The study represents a detailed literature survey by reviewing existing control strategies and their limitations which is followed by a detailed exploration of the mathematical foundation of IMC. The inherent robustness of IMC in handling system uncertainties and external disturbances is effectively highlighted by demonstrating its advantages over conventional control approaches. A key focus of this work is the evaluation of grid-connected inverters under various operational challenges including grid disturbances, nonlinearities, and parameter variations. The impacts of these factors on inverter performance are systematically analysed, and mitigation strategies such as advanced filtering techniques and adaptive control mechanisms are discussed. Additionally, the study implements a simulation environment to assess the effectiveness of the proposed IMC-based control strategy under different grid conditions. The paper validates the ability of IMC to enhance system stability, minimize harmonic distortion, and improve the dynamic response through detailed simulations. The results propose important perspectives for advancing robust and adaptive inverter control strategies by adopting further exploration into weak grid environments, and refined filter topologies to improve power quality.

The study represents a detailed literature survey by reviewing existing control strategies and their limitations which is followed by a detailed exploration of the mathematical foundation of IMC. The inherent robustness of IMC in handling system uncertainties and external disturbances is effectively highlighted by demonstrating its advantages over conventional control approaches. A key focus of this work is the evaluation of grid-connected inverters under various operational challenges including grid disturbances, nonlinearities, and parameter variations. The impacts of these factors on inverter performance are systematically analysed, and mitigation strategies such as advanced filtering techniques and adaptive control mechanisms are discussed. Additionally, the study implements a simulation environment to assess the effectiveness of the proposed IMC-based control strategy under different grid conditions. The paper validates the ability of IMC to enhance system stability, minimize harmonic distortion, and improve the dynamic response through detailed simulations.
