Optical frequency combs have revolutionized optical frequency metrology and are being actively investigated in a number of applications outside of pure optical frequency metrology. For reasons of cost, robustness, perfor...

The materials that compose the urban envelope are determinant for the reduction of heat gains and overheating of a city. Increasing the solar reflection of vertical materials is an efficient strategy to reduce urban temp...

Peatlands are major carbon stores that are sensitive to climate change and increasingly affected by human activity. Accurate assessment of carbon stocks and modelling of peatland responses to future climate scenarios req...

The article contains a feasibility analysis of using big data of payment systems for building forecasting models for the dynamics of consumer demand as a core factor of the retail turnover. The relevance of this research...

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) raise concerns among coastal communities due to their potential impacts on marine biodiversity and fisheries. This issue is particularly striking in France, where the government is...

OS ARTIGOS INCLUÍDOS NESTE DOSSIÊ dizem respeito ao processo de transformação dos países do Leste europeu, que começou com a perestroika na União Soviética e foi rapidamente seguido pelos países da Europa Centra...

Abstract Background The global expansion of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes has intensified arboviral epidemics, generating annual socio-economic losses exceeding 2 billion US dollars, mainly in the America...

Abstract Localisation of surgical tools constitutes a foundational building block for computer-assisted interventional technologies. Works in this field typically focus on training deep learning models to perform segment...

Event-based image processing represents an emerging research field within computer vision and is gaining increasing relevance in modern imaging technologies. In contrast to conventional frame-based approaches, neuromorph...

This article discusses the appearance of the documental cinema by means of analyzing its original variants ­ the documentary, the social documentary, and the ethnographic movie ­ in their relationships with the knowled...

Modern software applications rarely live in isolation and nowadays it is common practice to rely on services or consume information provided by remote entities. In such a distributed architecture, integration is key. Mes...

A CO2 Direct Air Capture and Conversion (DACC) system has been designed and implemented at laboratory bench scale using up to 100 g of adsorbent material at atmospheric pressure trying to approach industrially relevant...

Social entrepreneurs mobilize opportunity recognition, market linkages, blended finance, capacity building, and digital platforms to create sustainable, scalable solutions for socioeconomic challenges in an economy. It i...

The integration of wind energy into power systems has intensified as a result of the urgency for global energy transition. This requires more accurate forecasting techniques that can capture the variability of the wind r...

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...

This paper examines the potential of centering the common good in urban development as a way to address municipal growth dependencies – the structural link between market performance and municipalities’ capacity to...

Background: This investigation is necessitated by some stakeholders who believe that reading should be taught using a morphology-based approach. The endorsement of a morphology-centred approach to teaching reading is pr...

Deciding on approving and granting market access to new medical technologies such as pharmaceutical products, vaccines, or medical devices is a multifactorial research problem. Balancing out clinical performance, epidemi...

Abstract Targeting the BCL-2 family of proteins, key regulators of cellular apoptosis, with BH3-mimetics has been a major therapeutic goal to overcome cancer cell death resistance. However, beyond their canonical roles i...

The implementation and development of inclusive education are one of the goals of Ukraine’s educational reform, thus training and professional development of teachers involves building skills to teach students with spe...

This study investigates a novel combination of materials, incorporating pantyhose and rice husk, to develop sustainable insulation panel candidates, an approach that has not been previously explored in the literature. Pa...

The increasing global temperatures have escalated the demand for indoor cooling, thus requiring energy-saving solutions. Traditional approaches often integrate metal layers in cooling windows to block near-infrared (NIR)...

Background: Climate change has a negative impact on smallholder farming, affecting both agricultural production and livelihoods. Agricultural extension services offer an essential role in enabling smallholder farmers to...

Reliable anchorage of cast-in-place headed bolts in unreinforced concrete is vital in structural and industrial applications, where inaccurate strength predictions can compromise safety and efficiency. This study develop...
