This study investigates how key laser welding parameters affect keyhole welding under continuous wave conditions. In particular, the relationship between laser power and focal position, and their interaction with other process variables, plays a critical role in achieving optimal thermal cycles and temperature distribution in the weld seam and heat-affected zone. The study also compares theoretical temperature ...
The increasing global energy demand has led to the expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power plants, particularly in response to climate goals like the European Union's "Fit for 55" initiative to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030. However, as PV installations grow, their vulnerability to atmospheric discharges, such as lightning, also increases. This study investigates the design and dimensioning of lightning prot...
Nos dias que correm, os sistemas inteligentes são progressivamente mais comuns e a sua integração na vida do ser Humano tem um impacto bastante positivo no seu quotidiano. Uma das maneiras imprescindíveis para tal começa na nossa própria casa ao torná-la inteligente. Ao abrigo do conceito de Smart Home, implementou-se um protótipo automatizado composto por um estore (prova de conceito) sinalizado por luzes LED,...
“Wanting”, a component of reward processing, is a motivational property that guides decision making in goal-oriented behavior. This includes behavior aiming at supporting relational bonds, even at the group level. Accordingly, group belongingness works as this motivational property, which is fundamentally different from romantic or maternal love. While primary rewards (or learned associations, such as money) ha...
