Abstract The relationship between the built environment and human emotional experience has received increasing attention in architectural and urban research. This study aims to collect fundamental background data from a ...

Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires reliable methods to assess structural materials, particularly steel, one of the most carbon-intensive. While environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide st...

BackgroundBuilt environments shape navigation, attention, and motor control through continuous brain–body-environment coupling, yet architecture, rehabilitation, and clinical mobility practice still lack a shared quant...

Background: The health of the population is shaped by political, social and environmental conditions – referred to as contextual factors in this paper – which influence the risk of type 2 diabetes and other non-commu...

Uttarakhand, Himalaya's a state, is having serious environmental problems that are mainly due to urbanization, infrastructure development, and climate change. The systematic review gathers together geospatial studies in ...

This study investigates the intensity of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect across Lahore District and its surrounding urban and peri-urban areas. Landsat satellite data were utilized t...

Introduction: Visual shade matching has been practiced in dentistry for decades to find a shade of restoration that perfectly match with adjacent tooth for natural aesthetic look. Intraoral camera is an adjunct tool for ...

The increased focus on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the building and construction sector has heightened the demand for structural systems that reduce both material and embodied carbon. Pre-engineered buil...

Urban areas face mounting pressure from increased space demand, degrading key environmental services. Thus, understanding Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes is vital. In order to offer a robust decision-support framework...

A real-time electrochemical sensing strategy for nicotine monitoring in smoke streams was developed using additively manufactured three-dimensional (3D) based on conductive polymer composites. Disc-type microelectrodes (...

Coastal environments are integral to metropolitan regions, operating as strategic civic and socio-economic interfaces that underpin tourism, everyday wellbeing, and local economies. Despite their significance, ensuring e...
