Physics of Riblets
Continuous evolution in nature has created optimum solutions for creature survival that have inspired many innovative engineering designs. Riblet geometries, passive flow control devices, have been studied, which were inspired by the skin of fast-swimming sharks. Turbulent boundary layer research reveals the positive effect of riblets in reducing drag by manipulating turbulent structures.

Fast Data Acquisition Systems
Data acquisition is the process by which physical phenomena from the real world are transformed into electrical signals that are measured and converted into a digital format for processing, analysis, and storage by a computer. In a large majority of applications, the data acquisition (DAQ) system is designed not only to acquire data but to act on it as well. In defining DAQ systems, it is, therefore, useful to extend this definition to include the control aspects of the total system. A DAQ system is comprised of a computer running specialized software and several data acquisition cards and/or instruments (from now on jointly referred to as DAQ devices). Data acquisition (DAQ) systems are intensively used in laboratory research, industrial facilities, aviation, automotive, etc. The applications include test and measurement, automation, etc.

Soil–Structure Interaction in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls
Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are recognized for their cost-effectiveness and superior performance as earth-retaining structures. The integration of internally reinforced walls has transformed soil preservation practices, garnering significant attention from the global technical community. The construction method of MSE walls has recently gained widespread popularity, likely due to its cost efficiency and simplicity compared to traditional externally reinforced walls.

Factors Influence Designing of Sophomore Circuits Courses
Electrical engineering introductory circuit courses are the first context in which students are exposed to simple, steady-state, or direct current (DC) to complex, transient, or alternating current (AC) circuit theory and concepts. While students are usually taught basic circuit concepts in physics classes, introductory classes tend to go into more depth, as these classes form the basis for a specialization in electrical engineering.

Electroencephalogram-Based Brain–Computer Interface System
Researchers have discovered that brain–computer interface (BCI) techniques can improve communication between the brain and computer by decoding brain neural signals. There have been several attempts to investigate the application of BCI, but motor imagery (MI) has received the most attention since it causes the motor cortex to respond when a person mentally models a specific movement of limbs without activating their muscles.

Assembly Sequence Planning for Wind Turbines
There are various forms of assembly data sources for wind turbines, which contributes to the lack of a unified and standardized expression. Moreover, the reusability of historical assembly data is low, which leads to the poor reasoning ability of a new product assembly sequence.
