Digital Twin-Based Numerical Simulation for Cold-Formed Steel Members
Cold-formed steel (CFS) members are manufactured at room temperature, offering benefits such as high strength, ease of transportation, and rapid erection and construction. The Digital Twin (DT)-based numerical simulation method is developed using the actual geometries of CFS shapes, which are acquired by a 3D laser scanner.

Resource Management for Internet of Things Environments
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly popular due to their wide array of application domains. In IoT networks, sensor nodes are often connected in the form of a mesh topology and deployed in large numbers. Reinforcement learning (RL) has proven to be one of the most effective solutions for decision making. RL holds significant potential for its application in IoT device’s communication-related decision making, with the goal of improving performance.

Immersive Virtual Reality in Construction Education
The emergence of immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) headsets, has revolutionized the way we experience the physical world by creating a virtual, interactive environment. In the field of education, this technology has immense potential to provide students with a safe and controlled environment in which to experience real-world scenarios that may be otherwise unfeasible or unsafe.

Light Detection and Ranging Data Testing Methods
Reports suggest that while both the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) systems detected the pedestrian about six seconds before the registered impact, a misclassification of the pedestrian as an “unknown object” led to the unfortunate crash. LiDAR presents the least technological development when it comes to the identification of anomalous data. While per-point detection is a well-explored field of anomaly detection, object-level and pattern-based approaches remain few and far between.

Extraction of Anthocyanins by High-Hydrostatic-Pressure and Ultra-High-Pressure-Homogenization
The use of high-pressure technologies is a hot topic in food science because of the potential for a gentle process in which spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms can be eliminated; these technologies also have effects on the extraction, preservation, and modification of some constituents. Anthocyanins can be rapidly extracted from skins using High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) and cell fragments using Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH), releasing them and facilitating their diffusion into the liquid quickly. High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) and Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) techniques are gentle and protective of sensitive molecules such as phenols, terpenes, and vitamins. Both techniques are non-thermal technologies with mild temperatures and residence times.

Mud Channel Characteristics
The mud channel is an essential component of mud pulse telemetry (MPT) communication systems. During the transmission process, the mud pulse signal will be distorted by various factors, which increases the difficulty of signal recognition and processing at the surface. However, there are still some ambiguous and even contradictory conclusions regarding the signal transmission mechanism such as the mud channel model.

Fuzzy-Based Efficient Healthcare Data Collection in the IoMT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an advanced technology that comprises numerous devices with carrying sensors to collect, send, and receive data. Due to its vast popularity and efficiency, it is employed in collecting crucial data for the health sector. As the sensors generate huge amounts of data, it is better for the data to be aggregated before being transmitting the data further. These sensors generate redundant data frequently and transmit the same values again and again unless there is no variation in the data.
