Power plant projects are crucial to providing andining a reliable power system. Power plant projects, like other construction projects, often experience a problem of delayed completion of work known as time overrun, whic...

This article presents the Climate-Resilient Systems Prioritisation Index (CRESPI), a GIS-based spatial decision-support framework developed to support climate resilience planning through the prioritisation of Nature-base...

Urbanization and climate change are rapidly transforming metropolitan environments, posing serious challenges to sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk management, Among these challenges, concern,...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

Abstract This study examines the geological and climatic factors that influence natural radioactivity levels in drinking water from Dessie and Kombolcha towns in Ethiopia’s northern plateau. The basaltic and sedimentar...

Los impactos del cambio climático son extensivos a distintas poblaciones con entornos variados. Sin embargo, sus repercusiones y mitigación adquieren diversas formas dependiendo tanto de las condiciones geomorfológica...

Emissions of human-use antibiotics in China pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and accelerate the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Existing assessments lack the facility-level resolution required for effe...

As is well known, the integration of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) or “drones” into the National Airspace System (NAS) has captured significant industry, academic, regulatory and media attention. For sUAS th...

Insurance coverage and risk mitigation have become vital in the automotive industry. This case study aims to explore how the partnership between Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (TCMHB) and Takaful Ikhlas General Berhad (...

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in project management is transforming decision-making processes, enhancing task execution, and improving risk management. This study aimed to elucidate the challenges raise...

IntroductionFlood risk assessment has become increasingly important in regions vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. This study addresses the need for a robust decision-support framework by proposing a hybrid multi-cr...

Free-breathing spine-based positioning/tracking in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy is required when direct tumor positioning is not possible. Respiratory baseline, motion and target position reproducibility interact ...

Abstract Accurate and real-time prediction of lost circulation is essential for ensuring drilling safety and operational efficiency. Existing data-driven approaches, however, often lack effective integration of domain ex...

Radioactive waste management is not only a technical and administrative concern but also an ethical, ecological, and intergenerational responsibility. This article reconstructs the concept of eco-maqāṣid al-sharī‘a...

Human nature predisposes us to maximize our accomplishments while making a concerted effort to balance resource expenditures so we achieve an optimal return on our efforts. All too often what this really means is that we...

Operating small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) without appropriate waivers and risk mitigations presents a serious hazard to manned aircraft and other users of the National Airspace ...

Long-term monitoring of coastal aquaculture ponds (APs) is essential for sustainable food production and environmental management. Intensive aquaculture has reshaped coastal landscapes and threatened ecosystem services. ...

Sea level rise, as one of the consequences of global climate change, has significantly impacted oceanographic dynamics, particularly wave characteristics. One of the most critical affected parameters is significant wave ...

Rock avalanches move large volumes of material causing a highly destructive power over large areas. In these events, it is possible to monitor the evolution of slopes but failure cannot be always prevented. For this reas...

Endothelial glycocalyx dysregulation remains the leading cause of the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, which can increase the risk of organ failure and even cause death. However, the construction o...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of roadside green infrastructure in reducing particulate matter-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PM-bound PAHs) in urban soils and to assess the associated human heal...

Flight training has received little attention in fatigue research. Only transfers of knowledge gained in commercial and military aviation have been applied to general aviation without bridging the gap to the training env...

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable transformation from a heavily industrialized rail depot and one of the nation’s most polluted cities to the first designated National Park City in the United States of America...
