The asphalt industry faces growing challenges from stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mandates and diminishing high-quality virgin material reserves. This review paper positions upcycling as the engineered transfor...

The global transition to sustainable energy systems requires breakthroughs in electrochemical storage technologies that are not only safe but also resource efficient. Solid-state batteries (SSBs), which use superionic so...

Malware represents the most critical threat in cybersecurity, meant to compromise the security for any individual or any organization. These are covert software, designed to perform malicious act like data theft, data al...

Italian historic centres face critical challenges balancing heritage conservation with contemporary needs, particularly in regions like Calabria where smaller settlements experience depopulation, decay, and inadequate se...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

Public service organisations, particularly universities, lack structured methods to evaluate their operational readiness for digital transformation, hindering strategic planning in the Industry 4.0 era. This paper addres...

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are widely recognized as important tools supporting decision making processes, quite little adopted yet to support sustainable spatial and mobility planning, despite a wide range of literat...

Ride-pooling has the potential to offer a sustainable solution for urban mobility by reducing vehicle use and emissions through shared trips. However, its adoption remains limited due to poor matching performance. Many r...

The adoption of recycled aluminum alloys is crucial for sustainable lightweight automotive design, yet quantitative assessments of their sheet formability remain limited. This study compares the mechanical properties and...

Conventional sulfur vulcanization in rubber manufacturing depends on elevated curing temperatures and zinc oxide activators, resulting in high energy consumption and increasing environmental concerns associated with zinc...

Abstract The sustainable production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from renewable biowaste would reduce environmental burden and expand green nanotechnology applications. This study reports a hydrothermal extraction rou...

For the expansive soils of Nanning in Guangxi province of China different drying environments are acquired to test the shrinking characteristics and water retention by setting different temperature and humidity condition...

Abstract A promising approach for constructing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts with superior activity is realized through the surface grafting of wide-band-gap semiconductors with earth-abundant elements. Consequ...

Hybrid aluminum 6061 composites reinforced with various forms of magnesite-white (WM), dead-burnt magnesite (DBM), and lightly calcined magnesite (LCM)-in combination with carbon fiber (CF) were developed through the sti...

Forest growth and yield projection is essential for sustainable forest management planning. In Brazil, the Clutter model is widely applied for yield forecasting and commonly achieves prediction errors below 10%. However,...
