Anaerobic co-digestion of livestock waste presents a viable approach for addressing environmental challenges and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in semi-urban and rural contexts. This study focuses on the development o...

Depopulation consists of the decrease in the number of inhabitants of a region, and in Europe, is concentrated in rural areas. The state-of-the-art reveals that there has been extensive research across multiple disciplin...

European rural regions are of immense significance to agricultural production, tourism, as well as the preservation of nature, but are highly inadequately served with regard to transport infrastructure, thereby contribut...

The objective of this research is to explore pathways for the creation of Smart Villages in the Mediterranean context, with a focus on the Madonie Park—an extensive area comprising 21 municipalities within a UNESCO Glo...

AbstractThis paper presents an inversion methodology through weighted least squares to obtain the electrical parameters for the soil of a typical mid-western region in Brazil using the model based in the formalism of the...

The promoting effect of agricultural land circulation on the enhancement of agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) and the high-quality development of China’s agriculture still requires in-depth empirical...

During the Federation Internationale des Geometres (FIG) Annual Meeting 2026 in Cape Town, the Department: Land Reform and Rural Development (DLRRD) will demonstrate its approach to high-resolution 3D mapping. By combini...

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a diverse array of solutions with applications ranging from smart cities to environmental monitoring and industrial processes. In this context, communication techniques t...

Urbanization and climate change are rapidly transforming metropolitan environments, posing serious challenges to sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk management, Among these challenges, concern,...

Farmer credit default identification in the context of inclusive finance is significantly hindered by sample scarcity, heterogeneous data sources, and the underutilization of “soft information” embedded in ...

Abstract We report the implementation of an optical-wireless 5G network based on generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) and multi-Gbit/s communication. Dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator was employed, enabling...

Abstract In almost all literature about propagation models through vegetated environments, path loss has been proposed based on specimens of temperate clime conditions. In this work, a new propagation model is proposed, ...

Solar peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a promising approach that allows prosumers and consumers to exchange energy directly, which reduces dependence on the centralized power grid. However, implementing such a P2P en...

Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon in which urban areas experience a higher temperature than more rural areas along an urbanization gradient. Streams draining urban land can experience higher temperatures due to fac...
