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...

Abstract Digital technologies and AI promise to optimise complex systems through data-driven decisions, predictive modelling, and anticipatory action. However, this optimisation imperative creates a fundamental paradox: ...

The article shows that the specificity of a holistic personality adjustment process in social systems is not confined only because of the peculiarities of its elements, such as the personal maturity, changes in the socia...

BackgroundA growing number of couples worldwide are seeking in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) to achieve pregnancy. However, failed IVF-ET treatment inflicts multidimensional stress on patients, involving i...

Modern agricultural systems face increasing uncertainties, rare risks, and complex dynamics that make traditional decision-making ineffective. This research presents an innovative digital twin–based framework for proac...

The Smart Building paradigm promises a future where buildings are intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable, offering real-time information retrieval that supports decision-making to enhance energy efficiency, occupant comf...

Abstract Traffic flow prediction is a fundamental building block for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), enabling proactive congestion mitigation, adaptive traffic signal control, and reliable route guidance. Howev...

Real-time routing on large-scale road networks remains a critical challenge for intelligent transportation systems, particularly under high query loads and increasing graph sizes. While classical shortest path algorithms...

Abstract Heterogeneous graphs are widely employed in applications such as social networks, recommendation systems, and bioinformatics. However, node attributes in real-world heterogeneous graphs are often missing or corr...

Urban transportation systems are rapidly evolving into CPSS (cyber-physical-social system), driven by the continuous integration of autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and diverse intelligent agents. This evol...

Drought is a slow-onset natural disaster that has far-reaching effects on agriculture, water security, and socio-economic systems, especially in climate-vulnerable countries such as Malaysia. It is imperative to predict ...

In the context of accelerated technological development, education systems are increasingly influenced by digital transformation and data-driven innovations. Among these, artificial intelligence has emerged as a strate...

Abstract The CRISPR–Cas9 system provides adaptive immunity against invading genetic elements through a dual-RNA-guided DNA cleavage mechanism. This system relies on the precise assembly of a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) com...

Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field that leverages compliant and deformable materials to create robotic systems capable of safe human interaction, environmental adaptability, and bio-inspired motion. Unlike rigid r...

Smart antennas have received great attention for their potentials to enable communication and perception functions at the same time. However, realizing the function synthesis remains an open challenge, and most existing ...

This study examines the Human Resources Governance (HRG) system in Tehran Municipality, focusing on its alignment with sustainable urban development. Tehran, Iran’s economic and political hub, faces unique HR challenge...

Rapid urbanisation across Africa is placing increasing strain on urban governance systems, intensifying long-standing challenges such as infrastructure deficits, inefficient service delivery, and limited institutional ca...

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) and emerging technologies have converged to drive the remarkable development of intelligent systems. The interconnection of physical objects, sensors, and tiny communication devices ...

Behavioral and physiological adaptive responses of animals facing chronic exposure to a single stressor may allow them to overcome its negative effects for future exposures to similar stressful situations. At chemical le...

The object of research is the problem of rational distribution of limited resources between subsystems of a complex system that function independently. The relevance of the work is determined by the fundamental features ...

Background and AimsThe immune response to an infectious agent is regulated by a complex network of signaling pathways involving numerous genes encoding inflammatory mediators, proteins of the innate and adaptive immune s...

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges and opportunities for health system reform globally. In Ireland, this period coincided with the early stages of the Sláintecare reform plan, a core goal of ...
