Coupled carbon/climate models are predicting changes in Amazon carbon and water cycles for the near future, with conversion of forest into savanna-like vegetation. However, empirical data to support these models are stil...

This study has investigated the sustainability performance of the smallholder specialty coffee business from the perspectives of traceability system in southwestern Oromia, Ethiopia. Descriptive-exploratory, mixed approa...

Cold storage is extensively used to slow the rapid deterioration of peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) fruit after harvest. However, peach fruit subjected to long periods of cold storage develop chilling injury (CI) sympto...

Ultrafast pulses, particularly those with durations under 100 fs, are crucial in achieving unprecedented precision and control in light–matter interactions. However, conventional on-chip photonic platforms are not in...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...

Abstract In power generation and industries where CO2 emissions are unavoidable, carbon capture, utilisation, and storage is an important tool to offset climate change. Many carbon capture agents are blends of aqueous am...

IntroductionUrban wetlands are considered an important nature-based solution to mitigate flood impacts in built-up areas like Colombo, Sri Lanka, due to rapid urbanization and intensifying rainfall events. Wetlands withi...

Abstract The storage and retrieval of wave spectra for boundary conditions in nested wave modeling are computationally intensive due to the substantial storage requirements of each spectrum. A recently developed method (...

Simulation is the process of executing a model, that is a representation of a system with enough detail to describe it but not too excessive. This model has a set of entities an internal state, a set of input variable th...

"High-temperature renewable and industrial heat applications require efficient and compact solutions to address their inherent intermittency. Latent heat thermal energy storage is one such solution, acting as a buffer be...

The studies of Relational Data Base Management Systems and Databases constitute nowadays a main tren of investigation in large businesses and universities of the entire world. The creation of a data base engine keeps bei...

Digital repositories acting as resource aggregators typically face different challenges, roughly classified in three main categories: extraction, improvement and storage. The first category comprises issues related to de...

A data warehouse efficiently processes a given set of queries by utilizing the multiple materialized views. Owing to the constraint on space and maintenance cost, the materialization of all views is unfeasible. One of th...

The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated in response to the growing demand for a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data. GEO provides a flexible and open design that facilitates submiss...

Transportation networks are used in many application areas, like traffic control or river monitoring. For this purpose, sensors are placed in strategic points in the network and they send their data to a central location...

This thesis presents the development and simulation of a modular physically based thermal model of a building and a reversible R290 (propane) air-to-water heat pump, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape. The work ...

"The “Internet of Water” project will deploy 2,500 sensors along the Flemish river system, in Belgium. These sensors will be part of a monitoring system. This will produce anenormous amount of data, on which predicti...

The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics (http://cbioportal.org) provides a Web resource for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing multidimensional cancer genomics data. The portal reduces molecular profiling data from cancer ...

One of the main intents of all digital libraries is to provide wide access to academic resources. Several tools and techniques are available to achieve this goal, some of them focus on harvest and storage of resources wh...

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS). The...

Water Resources Information Systems (WRIS) present different types of problems during the data storage and analysis phases, related with the complex nature of the environmental data spacio-temporal phenomena. There are m...

An efficient method for the calculation of the interactions of a 2m factorial experiment was introduced by Yates and is widely known by his name.The generalization to 3m was given by Box et al. [1].Good [2] generalized t...

"This paper presents a technical, financial and environmental analysis of four different hybrid buses operated under Buenos Aires driving conditions. A conventional diesel bus is used as reference and three electric hybr...

The presence of fluids in the pore space of rocks causes wave attenuation and dispersion by the mechanism broadly known as wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF). WIFF occurs as a seismic wave creates pressure gradients within t...
