Determination of dielectric properties of lead-contaminated soils: Potential application to soil remediation.

This research investigated the effectiveness of radio frequency (RF) heating as a treatment for lead-contaminated soil, assessing its impact through dielectric constant measurements. Using water-soluble lead (II) acetate trihydrate, the study analyzed the impact of RF heating on soil dielectric properties under various soil moisture conditions (high, medium, and low) and electric field strengths (112.5, 150, 225, and 450 kV/m).

Enhancing Autonomous Truck Navigation with Ultra-Wideband Technology in Industrial Environments.

The integration of autonomous vehicles in industrial settings necessitates advanced positioning and navigation systems to ensure operational safety and efficiency. This study rigorously evaluates the application of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology in autonomous industrial trucks and compares its effectiveness with conventional systems such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Global Positioning System (GPS), and cameras. Through comprehensive experiments conducted in a real factory environment, this study meticulously assesses the accuracy and reliability of UWB technology across various reference distances and under diverse environmental conditions.
