Calls for papers

This Collection invites submissions that present new techniques in quality and reliability engineering, including sampling and statistical process control, environmental stress screening and burn-in, as well as life data analysis and modelling.

This Collection invites original research on the impact of the urban heat island effect on populations and interdisciplinary strategies to minimize it, from urban landscape and building design to the development of new materials to be used in infrastructure.

This Collection will bring together primary research studies that explore developments in CFD and its application for the study and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

This collection is dedicated to the latest engineering research in the heterogenous field of human-machine interfacing (HMI).

This upcoming Collection will feature articles on developing environment and human-friendly materials for electronics and their powering components (e.g. batteries), integrating green materials into electronic devices, and evaluating/improving the performance of these unconventional electronics.

This themed Collection will focus on original research contributions aimed at advancing the technology readiness of robotic autonomy in inspection and maintenance. Specifically, we welcome submissions that explore topics such as high-precision robotic mapping, defect detection and classification, complex task planning, efficient human-robot collaboration and complex decision making.

This Collection invites submission of original research papers that advance thermochemical treatment technologies to improve conversion efficiency, raw material analysis, gas cleaning, and product upgrading.
