The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether self-organisation predicts of adoption of management controls in manufacturing firms. The study employed the lens of complex adaptive systems theory to investigate the ...

Executive summary: Although health outcomes have improved in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the past several decades, a new reality is at hand. Changing health needs, growing public expectations, and a...

"Education, in and of itself, is neither irrelevant nor outmoded. However, the current need to educate a planetary citizenry under conditions relevant to the living context of our planet is palpable. A new education para...

Abstract Current works of environmental perception for connected autonomous electrified vehicles (CAEVs) mainly focus on the object detection task in good weather and illumination conditions, they often perform poorly in...

Abstract Echo State Networks are recurrent neural networks that leverage a random reservoir’s dynamics, training only a simple readout layer. This approach is computationally efficient but limits network performance. B...

Wheel-legged robots offer high mobility on flat terrain and adaptability in complex environments, yet achieving stable motion under uncertain ground conditions and during height variations poses significant control chall...

Abstract This work presents an adaptive hybrid signal precoding strategy for Cell-Free (CF) Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The proposed solution exploits the advantages of both distributed and cen...

Abstract Ultra-short-wave wireless parameter distribution is one of the important means of parameter distribution in mobile communication systems. Compared with manual parameter distribution, it can significantly reduce ...

Abstract This study investigated the design and implementation of an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) utilizing diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for automotive applications, addressing challenges found in conventi...

This article presents the Climate-Resilient Systems Prioritisation Index (CRESPI), a GIS-based spatial decision-support framework developed to support climate resilience planning through the prioritisation of Nature-base...

Amid the convergence of technological, macroevolutionary, and demographic singularities, conventional approaches to analyzing and forecasting economic growth are increasingly losing relevance and predictive power. The su...

Abstract Multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) systems assisted by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have become a viable way to improve next-generation wireless networks. Howe...

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) orchestration faces critical challenges in managing the Service Quality Index (SQI), Fleet Utilization Ratio (FUR), and Dynamic Pricing Index (DPI) under uncertain and time-varying urban dema...

Integrating deformable mirrors within the optical train of an adaptive telescope was one of the major innovations in astronomical observation technology, distinguished by its high optical throughput, reduced optical surf...

Abstract The growing deployment of grid-connected voltage source inverters (GC-VSIs) in the smart grids poses some significant issues that include harmonic distortion, grid impedance fluctuations, nonlinear loading, and ...

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) has been shown to improve geometric and dosimetric accuracy, with emerging evidence for clinical benefit, but it remains resource-intensive and lacks scalability. This limitation arises from m...

Functional polymer nanocomposites with distinctive electrical properties made of nanocarbon structures and biodegradable polymers are promising materials for the development of flexible and eco-friendly smart systems. In...

Climate change and human impact are increasing the frequency and severity of flooding, making real-time, accurate simulation of mountainous flood inundation an urgent necessity. In this study, we developed a proxy model ...

Scanning focused light with corrected aberrations holds great importance in high-precision optical systems. However, conventional optical systems, relying on additional dynamical correctors to eliminate scanning aberrati...

IntroductionRecent research has highlighted the role of the gut microbiome in shaping the development and function of the mammalian immune system. Interactions between these complex networks of microbes and host cells se...

ABSTRACT Integrating healthcare systems with intelligent transportation networks represents a critical frontier in modern urban infrastructure, where efficient resource allocation and timely service delivery can signific...

Abstract Architectural education faces increasing pressure to equip future practitioners with the ability to respond to sustainability, cultural continuity, and resource constraints through evidence-based design. Yet, th...

Advanced integration of logistics systems has been promoted for competitiveness and sustainability. Interconnection of transport operations increases complexity at a network level, which reduces the predictability of the...

BackgroundOver 120 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, nearly half of them children. Current health responses remain largely emergency-driven, addressing immediate survival needs but overlooking the longer-t...
