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...

The column tests on advection-dispersion are commonly used to measure the contaminant transport parameters in soils. The applicability of boundary conditions for analytical modelling of the column tests is under debate. ...

In the present study, the transmission error (TE) behaviour of an identical involute spur gear pair dynamically coupled with an attached subsystem is investigated through numerical modelling. The surrounding mechanical s...

The Bahía Blanca Estuary is a complex system of channels and tidal flats where the most important deep water harbour system of Argentina is located. The main goal of the present work was to obtain a hydrodynamic conce...

A small-scale physical modelling system is developed to study the pull-out mechanism of embedded soil nails based on transparent soil and particle image velocimetry (PIV). Four types of soil anchorages, common cylindrica...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

Background Individual differences have been detected in individuals with opioid use disorders (OUD) in rehabilitation following protracted abstinence. Recent studies suggested that prediction models were effective for in...

Objective This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening strategies using interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) among migrants, integrating social vulnerability and...

Abstract Background Long COVID is an infection-associated chronic condition with uncertain evolution, leading to ambiguity in case definitions and various hypotheses about its pathophysiology. Despite this diversity, cau...

The rapid digitalization of financial systems has amplified exposure to cyber risks, posing substantial threats to institutional performance and systemic stability. This study investigates how Cyber Risk Management (CRM)...

Hydrological models commonly use very simple snow accumulation and melt models based on air temperature information, namely, a temperature threshold for snow accumulation as well as for snowmelt, and a melt factor. This ...

Abstract Balance control is fundamental to the quality of life among older adults, yet its neural underpinnings remain only partially understood. Despite advances in neuroimaging techniques, the neural correlates of bala...

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...

Products often operate in dynamic environments, and field failure data is frequently heavily censored, posing significant challenges in the assessment of product reliability. To enhance the accuracy of field reliability ...

Land evaluation is an essential step in determining the potential use of marginal areas where agricultural productivity is limited by poor soil conditions. Coastal lands represent one of challenging environments, however...

Questions relating to territories and mobility patterns during the Paleolithic are crucial to understanding the social geography of earlier populations. Despite significant progress in the analysis of mobility clues (fau...

Although logistic regression is the most popular for modelling regression relationships with binary responses, many find relative risk (RR), or risk ratio, easier to interpret and prefer to use this measure of risk in re...

In preparation for the SOOS/OCEAN:ICE Workshop on ice-ocean observation harmonization and future priorities agenda, a survey targeting the modelling community was conducted to assess research priorities for the Southern ...

Pain after surgery is of major perioperative concern because it is associated with substantial complications, including chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) development. The CPSP incidence is high, and its accurate predicti...

A refinement method is proposed to solve the difference in the macroscopic elasticity and the interpenetration in interface area between different particle-size areas in the DEM. In simulations of 3D DEM large-scale prob...

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) has become a significant phenomenon within the global e-sports landscape, attracting millions of active players and fans. This study presents a comprehensive sentiment analysis and topic ...

This paper presents a methodology to manage the support to design in ATM operations. We propose a workflow for the design of ATM solutions in a performance-based setting. The methodology includes the evaluation of the im...

The dynamic behaviour of automotive drivetrains is significantly influenced by contacts occurring between the various parts. In this paper, a three-dimensional formulation is proposed to model unilateral and frictional c...
