Volume 3, Issue 2 - 4 Articles
This edition presents a multidisciplinary collection exploring diverse domains. One paper elucidates how Building Information Modeling facilitates environmentally sustainable design in architecture and construction, enabling energy simulations and green certification compliance, though interoperability challenges persist. In semiconductor manufacturing, a study unravels the mechanisms of bromine-induced aluminum corrosion, filling a crucial knowledge gap for mitigating device failures. Concerning biology, anatomical research sheds light on the intricate musculature facilitating feeding in the ancient Australian lungfish. Furthermore, an innovative localization algorithm, integrating global positioning, tracking, and kidnapped robot resolution, promises enhanced reliability for mobile robot indoor navigation. These contributions exemplify interdisciplinary collaboration, offering valuable insights into contemporary challenges while pioneering novel solutions across fields. As editors, we commend the authors’ dedication to advancing scientific understanding and innovation.

A Study on the Bromine-induced Corrosion/Defects in Wafer Fabrication
by Hua Younan, Liao Jinzhi Lois, Zhu Lei, Liu Binghai and Li Xiaomin
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page # 8-14, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0302002
Abstract: For the semiconductor manufacturing processes, metal corrosion by halogen elements (e.g. fluorine, chlorine, and bromine) is always a critical issue. For the aluminum back-end-of-processes, these halogen elements tend to form aluminum halide defects on the surface of aluminum pads or aluminum metal wires, which can directly lead to the failure and reliability issues of the… Read More

Jaw and Tongue Muscles in the Australian Lungfish, <i>Neoceratodus forsteri </i> (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi)
by Anne Kemp
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page # 15-21, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0302003
Abstract: The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, has several muscles associated with feeding. The massive adductor mandibularis muscle of N. forsteri, which closes the jaws, originates on the chondrocranium and inserts on the posterior aspect of Meckel’s cartilage in the mandible. The depressor mandibulae muscle, which opens the jaws, inserts on the medial articulation of the prearticular… Read More

Robust Localization Algorithm for Indoor Robots Based on the Branch-and-Bound Strategy
by Huaxi (Yulin) Zhang, Yuyang Wang, Xiaochuan Luo, Baptiste Mereaux and Lei Zhang
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page # 22-42, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0302004
Abstract: Robust and accurate localization is crucial for mobile robot navigation in complex indoor environments. This paper introduces a robust and integrated robot localization algorithm designed for such environments. The proposed algorithm, named Branch-and-Bound for Robust Localization (BB-RL), introduces an innovative approach that seamlessly integrates global localization, position tracking, and resolution of the kidnapped robot problem… Read More
