Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9082: When Implicit Offence Is Not Necessarily Negative: Pragmatic Strategies and Sentiment Polarity in Chinese Online Attacks
7+ hour, 38+ min ago (538+ words) This study investigates how sentiment polarity relates to offensive function in Chinese online attacks, focusing on cases where offence is expressed implicitly rather than through explicit negative wording. Using a 1400-item Chinese online-text corpus derived from TOXICN and its pragmatics-oriented…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9054: Chemical Composition, Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oils from Two Croatian Lavandin ‘Budrovka’ Accessions (Lavandula × intermedia Emeric ex Loisel.)
1+ day, 9+ hour ago (546+ words) Lavandula × intermedia (lavandin) is among the most cultivated Lavandula species, valued for its high essential oil yield and broad applications across different industries. Although it has traditionally been regarded as inferior to true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), particularly within the field…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8956: Image-Based Fourier Reconstruction and Analysis of Free-Surface Wave Motion in a CNC-Excited Rectangular Reservoir
4+ day, 2+ hour ago (632+ words) Free-surface sloshing in partially filled tanks and open reservoirs can produce spatially complex surface deformation under horizontal excitation. This study presents an image-based experimental and computational workflow for reconstructing measured free-surface profiles in a laboratory-scale rectangular reservoir mounted on a…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8916: Suppressing Finite-Difference Dispersion in Wavefield Modeling via Simulated Annealing Optimization
5+ day, 6+ hour ago (271+ words) Numerical dispersion limits the accuracy of finite-difference elastic-wave modeling, particularly when relatively short spatial stencils are used. This study evaluates staggered-grid spatial-derivative coefficients obtained using a constrained simulated-annealing procedure and compares their spectral and numerical behavior primarily with Taylor-expansion coefficients…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8898: Simulation Model for Electrical Operation in Agrivoltaic Power Plants: Nine Hourly Panel Orientation Modes
6+ day, 2+ hour ago (355+ words) In an agrivoltaic plot, the hourly panel tracking angle governs electricity, on-site economics, avoided carbon dioxide, irrigation demand and crop yield. Operating for photovoltaic output alone discards that space, and does so when a midday kilowatt-hour has lost its value:…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8849: Lexicon-Enhanced Fine-Grained Sentiment Classification for Online Social-Behavior Analysis
1+ week, 1+ day ago (526+ words) Online social networks generate large volumes of textual data that reflect users’ opinions, affective expressions, and broader patterns of engagement and social behavior. However, natural language processing approaches frequently examine sentiment, trust-related signals, and behavioral indicators independently, limiting their ability…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8749: Energy Efficiency for Green AIoT: A Comprehensive Survey
1+ week, 3+ day ago (426+ words) The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved into the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), where intelligent data processing complements large-scale connectivity across applications ranging from smart homes to industrial automation. However, its rapid expansion and the increasing adoption of AI…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8734: The Influence of Internal Geometry on Pressure Losses, Hydraulic Stability, and Cavitation Risk in a Firefighting Monitor
1+ week, 4+ day ago (430+ words) This paper presents a combined CFD and experimental investigation of water flow through a Shootfire-1000 water-foam fire monitor. The study aimed to assess pressure losses, flow characteristics, hydraulic stability, and cavitation risk, and to evaluate the influence of selected geometric…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8733: Dynamic Sliding Behavior of Sand-Filled Rock Joints Under Impact Loading: Evolution of Particle-Size Effects
1+ week, 4+ day ago (402+ words) Blocky-rock masses are prone to dynamic slip along sand-filled joints under impact disturbance. The constraint normal to the joint and the size of the infill particles jointly influence their stability. To determine how axial load and particle-size affect dynamic slip,…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8709: Study on Acoustic Emission Response and Failure Characteristics of Rock–Proppant–Rock Composite Constructions Under Uniaxial Compression
1+ week, 5+ day ago (402+ words) To reveal the bearing and instability mechanisms after filling proppants in the blasting pressure-relief fracture, four types of proppant-containing sandstone composite construction with interface inclinations of 0°, 4°, 8°, and 12° were prepared. A uniaxial compression test was conducted by combining Acoustic Emission (AE)…...
