"Conventional network generation models exhibit limitations in capturing complex structural patterns influenced by nodal and link attributes. While recent models have partially addressed this issue, significant gaps pers...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...

This paper proposes an innovative model-free deep reinforcement learning-based controller (RL-C) for a grid-connected 5-level packed-U-cell (PUC5) multilevel inverter (MLI). The controller is designed to deliver a high-q...

To address the challenges of voltage deviation and increased network losses arising from the high integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in distribution networks, this paper proposes a bi-level optimisation model for c...

Abstract Spatial variations in stiffness and mass density make the free-vibration behavior of tridirectionally functionally graded material (3D-FGM) beams highly sensitive to material gradation, while computationally eff...

The ceiling effect, a phenomenon in which rotor thrust increases near a ceiling wall, holds significant potential for applications in energy-efficient drones and aerial manipulation. However, previous studies have not re...

Regenerative bicycle trainers support more sustainable indoor cycling by converting a rider’s kinetic energy into electrical energy while producing a controllable resistive load. For a realistic riding feel, the relati...

ABSTRACT Background Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge, necessitating accurate forecasting methodologies to support effective control and prevention strategies. This paper explores the applic...

This work introduces a novel geometrical and analytical modeling framework for predicting the stiffness properties of knitted composites, a class of materials known for their complex architectures and versatile mechanica...

Abstract Efficient management and optimal allocation of urban public sports facilities represents a critical challenge in modernizing public sports service governance. Current approaches to facility utilization assessmen...

Assessment systems in higher education are typically described through scales, points, and formal procedures. However, can one understand what function assessment actually performs – supporting learning or administrati...

We report an extremely rare X-ray active blue straggler star (BSS) in Collinder 261, undergoing ongoing Roche-lobe overflow in a semidetached binary in an Algol-type configuration with an orbital period of P _orb  ∼ ...

The Pearl River Basin, a pivotal river system in Southern China, traverses ecologically fragile zones including the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, port trading zones of the Beibu Gulf in Guangxi, and urban economic zones of the...

The twin star configuration, where two neutron stars share the same mass but exhibit different radii, can arise from a strong first-order phase transition in the dense-matter equation of state (EoS). This first-order pha...

Abstract The growing importance of machine learning in geological data computing, as well as in the broader geoscience and energy sectors, makes it essential to evaluate the impact of data augmentation on model performan...

Sailing yachts can achieve operationally zero-emission propulsion by integrating solar photovoltaic (PV), wind and hydrokinetic generation with battery-electric drive systems. This study applies a systems engineering mod...

The study investigates how job-sharing practices influence academic staff’s perceived organisational performance of universities in Tanzania. Guided by Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, the study conceptualises job shari...

The configuration of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the Last and Penultimate Glacial Maxima (LGM; PGM) influenced millennial-scale climate changes, as well as solid Earth and sea level changes that occurred du...

In recent years, the study of the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of porous functionally graded material (PFGM) structures has attracted much interest. However, most of the existing studies analyze their static or...

This paper introduces Omega, the Ocean Model for E3SM Global Applications. Omega is a new ocean model designed to run efficiently on high performance computing (HPC) platforms, including exascale heterogeneous architect...

Abstract Background With the high prevalence of periodontitis, tooth rotation resulting from periodontal damage can be corrected through orthodontic treatment; however, the biomechanical complexity of tooth movement in c...

The diverse behavioral patterns of consumers for purchasing products motivate the necessity for implementing tailored marketing strategies to foster sustainable business development. This research work proposes a hybrid ...

Selective electrochemical CO₂ reduction to multi-carbon products remains a central bottleneck for carbon-neutral chemical manufacturing, with most catalysts achieving C₂⁺ Faradaic efficiencies below 75%. This inves...

Carabids are important natural biocontrol agents for pest regulation in agricultural landscapes. Their role in the ecosystem is related to functional traits, which are themselves filtered by both the degree of habitat di...
