Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Monitoring Extravirgin Olive Oil Bioactive Components by C. Camerlingo, M. Portaccio, I. Delfino, M. Lepore

“…Among innovative techniques proposed for the oil analysis, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be an extremely useful tool for olive oil characterization. In this frame, we have investigated five noncommercial olive oils produced in different parts of South Italy by using a commercial Raman microspectroscopy apparatus and home-made signal-enhancing SERS substrates. …”

Stability and Countermeasures for a Deposit Slope with Artificial Scarp: Numerical Analysis and Field Monitoring by Yong Hong, Zhushan Shao, Guangbin Shi, Jiabao Liu

“…The front of the deposit slope was in a state of limit equilibrium as a result of the artificial scarp formed by long-term manual excavation. Anchors and concrete frame beams provided stress compensation and improve the stability of the deposit slope, and front prestressed anchor cables and stability piles strengthened the mechanical properties of the rock and soil masses and provided resistance at the front of the deposit. …”

Torque and d-q axis current dynamics of an inverter fed induction motor drive that leverages computational intelligent techniques by Shaswat Chirantan, Bibhuti Bhusan Pati

“…The Sequential Model MPC algorithm employed a cost functional approach, predicated on the square of the discrepancy between reference and stator-measured currents of the IM in d-q reference frame. This method, implemented and tested in both MATLAB/Simulink and Python environments, utilized a minimization principle to guide the switching states of the inverter, thereby ensuring the accuracy of voltage signals for the induction motor. …”

The Poisson Extension of the Unrelated Question Model: Improving Surveys With Time-Constrained Questions on Sensitive Topics by Benedikt Iberl, Anesa Aljovic, Rolf Ulrich, Fabiola Reiber

“… The Poisson model (Iberl & Ulrich, in print) is a new survey technique that enables the estimation of how frequently a certain behavior occurs, while employing easy-to-answer yes/no-questions that refer to a specific time frame. In this paper, this model is combined with the unrelated question model (UQM) by Greenberg et al. (1969). …”
