We address irregular polygon nesting on sheet materials with a lightweight evolutionary framework that operates directly in the layout space. The method formalizes multi-term fitness combining utilization, overlap penalties, spacing regularity, and local alignment, with all components normalized before aggregation. Feasibility is enforced by an AABB– SAT pipeline and validated via analytic ground-truth cases, degenerate…

Biodiesel was produced from lard using a CaO catalyst derived from eggshells. The effects of catalyst loading and transesterification reaction time were investigated. The results revealed that the increase in yield of biodiesel occurred at all catalyst loading when the reaction time was increased. The optimal reaction time was obtained at 60 minutes. The results…

The Bolivian higher education system comprises 59 universities; these institutions have the challenge of increasing their scientific production since it is one of the factors to provide quality education and meet one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But currently, the GDP assigned to the research and development (R&D) sector of Bolivia is 0.16%.…

Monoacylglycerol (MAG) and diacylglycerol (DAG) are structured lipids that have been widely used in various pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. MAG and DAG are generally produced by chemical glycerolysis. Chemical catalysts have been shown to be more efficient, economical, and effective. This study summarizes and discusses the factors that affect the synthesis of MAG and…

In the recent past, there has been a renewed shift into biomass and other recycled waste sources for biodiesel production and utilization. This is a critical area of research and study in which this present work intends to review and identify gaps in literature by shifting the focus of review to non-plant based sources for…

An experimental study on the effect of a cover number of solar distillers with a continuous seawater feeding system was conducted. The seawater feeding in this study was a continuous feeding, which was not utilized yet in the previous studies. Three identical distillers i.e. single caver distiller, double cover distiller, and triple cover distiller were…

The text’s production carried out in this research aimed to 5-year-old children from the IE 555 Inmaculada Concepción, under the modality dictated to adult, had a design and application of 22 sessions during three months with the experimental group. On their methodological approach was based on the expression ludocreative, articulating the written experience jointly with…

The times have made drastic changes in the field of technology, these changes have penetrated into various aspects, one of which is the game. Starting from the tactics of war in the real world that produces the game theory, then adopted in the form of games that exist today. Starting from without visuals to extraordinary…

The technical and vocational institutions are the key feeders for skilled human capital in the robotic revolution economy. It is essential to engage the students by creating new, affordable robotics at a fraction of the cost. This study presents the design and simulation of a six-axis robot manipulator specifically made for education and training. The…

The most important biological factors, mainly determining the economic efficiency of milk production, are the productivity potential and the level of viability of cows. The aim of the work is to predict the bio-economic effects in a heterogeneous population of dairy cows taking into account the decrease in the length of productive life with increase…

In recent years, research has been taking an important role in Peru. There are different sources of funding for research projects, research internships, the publication of scientific articles, scholarships for postgraduate studies, among others. This importance of research has resulted in an interest in being able to measure and compare universities according to their scientific…

The contents of this article consist of an extension original work presented at the 4th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR 2018) and aims to develop the systematic model of an effective triggering system of production Kanban size towards Just-In-Time (JIT) production system. The developed model was introduced based on the philosophy of…

This paper proposes a method for estimating the spectral reflectance of Neugebauer primaries or eight basic colors when the spectral reflectance data of several colors are given. The proposed method is based on Neugebauer model, which expresses an arbitrary color as a weighted average of Neugebauer primaries, and its sparse version called sparse Neugebauer model.…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the global shipbuilding sector, yet existing maturity models fail to capture the domain-specific complexities of this capital-intensive industry. This study reviews over 50 AI maturity models and introduces a specialized framework tailored for shipbuilding. The proposed model outlines four progressive stages—Beginner, Innovation, Integration, and Expert—across eight key dimensions: culture, resilience,…

The integration of machine learning techniques in industrial production has the potential to revolutionize traditional manufacturing processes. In this study, we examine the efficacy of gradient-boosting machine learning models, specifically focusing on feature engineering techniques, applied to a novel dataset with 3D product models pertaining to work moan-hours in metal sheet stamping projects, framed as…

The solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation industry has experienced substantial, ongoing growth over the past decades as a clean, cost-effective energy source. As electric grids use ever-larger proportions of solar PV, the technology’s inherent variability—primarily due to clouds—poses a challenge to maintaining grid stability. This is especially true for geographically dense, electrically isolated grids common…

The air compressor of a railroad vehicle is an important equipment that produces compressed air used in braking systems. New visual interaction techniques were proposed and evaluated to develop effective augmented reality content for maintenance support and training of this device. To this end, modeling techniques capable of fast animation, storyboard production to support light…

The levelized cost of electricity production is highly dependent on the cost of fuel oil on the world market. In order to reduce the dependency on the fuel oil, many countries are adopting an energy transition towards distributed generation. Distributed generation can be described as various means of generating electricity at or near where it…

Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors are commonly taught in courses for electrical engineers as they are the most common components within integrated circuits. However, despite numerous papers and books on MOSFETs, students still struggle with understanding their behaviour, particularly in the saturation region. This paper presents an expanded explanation of MOSFET behaviour, with a consistent…

Soft robots have softer, more flexible, and more compliant characteristics than traditional rigid robots. These qualities encourage more secure relationships between people and machines. Nevertheless, traditional robots continue to rule the commercial sector. Due to the high cost of gripper production, soft robots are very far from being commercially feasible. This research focuses on fabricating…
