In this study, we concentrate on modelling gross primary productivity using two simple approaches to simulate canopy photosynthesis: "big leaf" and "sun/shade" models. Two approaches for calibration are used: scaling up ...

Abstract Background Improving equitable access to fresh fruit and vegetables (FV) remains a critical public health priority in the UK, particularly in low-income communities where affordability, accessibility, and social...

A one-dimensional model for pneumatic drying of food particles is presented. The model includes mass, momentum and energy transfer between the gas and the solid phases, taking into account variations of properties with h...

Modelling is one way of helping policymakers assess the impacts of different drivers on biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as the feedbacks on drivers generated by those impacts (from Chapter 3). Modelling provides too...

The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) is a promising flood-modelling tool available for most river basins worldwide. However, it contains inherent biases, notably linked to its spatial resolution. This study propose...

Third-generation biomass constitutes a renewable energy source that could substitute fossil fuels. This study evaluated the biomethane potential (BMP) of Ulva sp., Codium sp. and Undaria pinnatifida through anaerobic dig...

Abstract Motion‐activated cameras (‘camera‐traps’) have become indispensable for wildlife monitoring. Data from camera‐trap surveys can be used to make inferences about animal behaviour, space use and populatio...

A prospective study of 8 weeks duration has been performed to evaluate if combined sodium and ultrafiltration (UF) modelling could affect the incidence of symptoms occurring during hemodialysis. During the first four wee...

Abstract Background There is a continued and urgent need to address the stagnation of the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR), especially for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to assess the impact of ...

This study addresses the growing need for linguistically grounded and domain-sensitive vocabulary modelling in Financial English by integrating methods from corpus linguistics with insights from financial discourse analy...

Abstract This paper presents an effective way to support motion planning of legged mobile robots—Inverted Modelling, based on the equivalent metamorphic mechanism concept. The difference from the previous research is t...

Optimization of design parameters based on electromagnetic simulation of microwave circuits is a timeconsuming and iterative procedure. To provide a fast and accurate frequency response for a given case study, this paper...

The article contains a feasibility analysis of using big data of payment systems for building forecasting models for the dynamics of consumer demand as a core factor of the retail turnover. The relevance of this research...

The present work focuses on the computational modelling of fluid flow in a mixing stirred reactor to describe the flow pattern in two‐dimensional (2D) detail, which can be useful for optimizing the parameters of electr...

Due to enormous technological progress, socio‑economic science has gained new possibilities of investigating complex and not well‑known socio‑economic phenomena. One of the recent promising research approaches is a...

Background: Students’ prior mathematical knowledge plays a critical role in their success in university mathematics, yet it is often treated diagnostically rather than instructionally. Aim: This study examines studen...

In the power plants operation, the combustion process will produce particulate emissions. Particulate emissions themselves are known have a negative impact on health, such as causing respiratory problems. The pattern of ...

Abstract Owing to the widespread usage of synthetic dyes, water contamination prompted by these materials has led to a severe menace on aquatic ecosystem and also on living organisms health. Chitosan modified with cyanog...

Abstract A compound oscillatory roller reducer (CORR) with a first-stage gear transmission and a second-stage oscillatory roller transmission is presented. The transmission principle of oscillatory roller transmission is...

Abstract Background Efforts to develop an HIV “cure” (i.e., an intervention leading to durable ART-free remission or eradication of HIV infection) have become better resourced and coordinated in recent years. Given, ...

Climate change is creating serious challenges for fisheries in coastal Nigeria. Fisheries extension workers, who support fishers with advice and training, must themselves be resilient to continue delivering services. Thi...

A novel full-atom multiscale method, combining different computational approaches and aimed to describe diffusion of multiple ions in anion exchange membranes (AEM), is presented. The method is used to evaluate diffusion...

Phase change materials (PCM) are receiving ever-growing attention as a promising construction material for improving building energy performance through thermal storage and peak load shifting. The analysis of PCM perform...

IntroductionThe rapid emergence of the digital workplace has accelerated the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into human resource management (HRM). However, empirical research on the determinants of AI adoptio...
