Background: The world is facing a polycrisis of climate and ecosystems breakdown, extreme inequality and social injustice. The South African government and social partners are focusing on the crisis through a national J...

ObjectiveCoals are highly sensitive to variations in temperature and pressure conditions. The structural evolution of coal macromolecules, driven by tectono-thermal processes, is the key to understanding coal rank transi...

This paper examines preliminary findings from research into the transition experiences of students entering university through a VET pathway. Participants’ responses obtained in an online survey are analysed to explore...

Abstract Normally the physical dimensions of the taper transition that realizes the impedance matching between the impedance of the feeding line built in microstrip line technology and the impedance of the component buil...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory have been carried out to study the critical behavior and universality for the isotropic-nematic (IN) phase transition in a system of straight rigid pentamers adsorbe...

The theoretical debate on democracy for a longer period is one of the most dynamic debates within the political sciences, associated with plenty of controversies and paradoxes in terms of lack of consistent principles of...

Este artigo busca examinar algumas interpretações e perspectivas sob as quais se pode ou tem sido examinada a questão da passagem da Antiguidade Greco-Romana para a Civilização Medieval no ocidente europeu, atentand...

Subsurface energy transition aims to mitigate climate change impacts by reducing carbon emissions while addressing energy needs through utilization of sustainable subsurface resources. It involves harnessing underground ...

Abstract This study investigates the population history and subsistence of farming communities at the Erdaojingzi site (ca. 3700–3330 cal. BP), a well-preserved Bronze Age settlement located in the agro-pastoral trans...

IntroductionUnderstanding the progression of dental caries in children, characterized by transitions between distinct health states, may benefit the development of prevention and disease modeling frameworks. This systema...

2D materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a new class of atomic-layer materials possessing optical and electric properties that significantly depend on the number of layers. Electronic transitions...

In this paper, we argue that one reason for the insufficient materialisation of sustainability objectives is a manifest gap between the prescriptive system knowledge of transition studies and the variegated local lifewo...

The energy transition is central to addressing the climate crisis, yet it also fosters new geopolitical and territorial tensions. As a major supplier of critical minerals for renewable technologies, Latin America occupie...

No presente estudo objetivou-se analisar a relação conjugal, durante a transição para a parentalidade, sob dois enfoques: a avaliação que cada casal faz de sua relação e a interação comunicacional que estabelec...

This study explores the complex interaction between sustainable urban mobility and transition management, focusing on the critical role of integrated governance and organizational change in improving metropolitan tra...

Background: South Africa continues to experience persistently high unemployment, which constrains graduates’ successful integration into the labour market. Objectives: This article systematically reviews school-to-wo...

We discuss the possibility of self-hybridisation in high-index dielectric nanoparticles, where Mie modes of electric or magnetic type can couple to the interband transitions of the material, leading to spectral anticross...

Sleep plays an important role in physical health, cognition, and emotional well-being. Since sleep disorders can affect all these aspects, accurately detecting sleep stages is key to proper diagnosis and monitoring. Auto...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the critical behavior in a submonolayer lattice-gas, which mimics a nanoporous environment. In this model, one-dimensional chains of...

We study the irreversible growth of magnetic thin films under the influence of spatially periodic fields by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We find first-order pseudo-phase transitions that separate a dynamic...

The transition into higher education (HE) is a “mega-scale” change in a student’s life. Many of the needs and priorities of incoming students change year-on-year, fuelled by local and global instability. Relying on...

This study presents DNS results of the laminar–turbulent spatial transition in a plane channel flow. The transition is achieved imposing at the inlet the most unstable modes of the associated Orr–Sommerfeld and Squir...

The article examines the regulatory mechanisms for the integration of renewable energy sources and their impact on the indicators of the state's energy security, taking into account the financial and credit conditions of...

The paper empirically examines and assess the relationship between public debt and economic growth in the European transition countries from 1995 to 2017 (both years inclusive). The study attempts to identify and deter...
