This article explores the idea of living in outdoor environmental design. It works to highlight the necessity of creating outdoor spaces that will simultaneously create positive physical and mental health effects while o...

A systematic approach to the synthesis of compliant mechanisms starting from the problem requirements is proposed. The method uses as topological solution space several atlases of compliant mechanisms specialized from ri...

We report the design of a high-throughput gradient hyperbolic lenslet built with real-life materials and capable of focusing a beam into a deep sub-wavelength spot of λ/23. This efficient design is achieved through high...

This study outline design principles for teacher collaboration that can drive educational innovations and inclusion. Employing abductive analysis anchored on constructivist grounded theory, the study examined how the cyc...

The purpose of this article of reflection is to raise awareness of how poor design of language assessments may have detrimental effects, if crucial qualities and technicalities of test design are not met. The article fir...

Abstract Background Physical exercise has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological approach for improving cognitive and physical function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, most existing int...

According to the fractal theory, the fractal distribution formula of gradation for rockfill materials is deduced. The field gradation data of six dams with clay core and five 200 m-high CFRDs are used to verify the relev...

IntroductionThe deserts of Saudi Arabia are rich in rock art and cultural heritage sites, with ancient murals in the AlUla region holding significant symbolic meaning. Heritage plays an important role in preserving cultu...

In the current environment there is a growing need for rapid development of advanced manufacturing technologies. The complexity of such projects requires the integration of work from various technical specialties. If t...

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is a widely applied theoretical framework for predicting individual intentions and behaviors. However, its application in the knowledge payment domain remains limited. Existing studie...

Amidst Canada’s productivity crisis and widening social inequities, Humber Polytechnic’s Building Brilliance vision proposes that economic and social development must be treated as mutually reinforcing priorities rat...

Plasmonic nanoantennas with suitable far-field characteristics are of huge interest for utilization in optical wireless links, inter-/intrachip communications, LiDARs, and photonic integrated circuits due to their except...

This brief addressed the control design problem for a bilinear dynamical system with two approaches. The first approach is proportional-integral passivity-based control theory (PI-PBC), and the second control approach is...

Abstract The increase in vehicle ownership and urban population puts a strain on roads and increases traffic congestion within developed and developing nations. Congestion affects an individual’s time and increases an ...

Abstract Digital technologies and AI promise to optimise complex systems through data-driven decisions, predictive modelling, and anticipatory action. However, this optimisation imperative creates a fundamental paradox: ...

ObjectiveRescue drilling rigs undergo intense vibration at borehole mouths when operating in a confined underground space of coal mines. To address this issue, this study designed a compact multi-directional, passive dyn...

In this article we discuss how the design of a higher education language course can challenge the power of sentimentality in the classroom. In particular, the paper analyses the role of literature in intercultural langua...

Type of the article: Research Article AbstractIn emerging economies, youth unemployment and limited entrepreneurial education remain persistent challenges for higher education institutions. This study aims to examine ho...

An in silico analysis of the oxidation mechanism of allyl methyl disulfide (AMDS) by hydroxyl radical was achieved at DFT level using B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, M06-2X, and BMK functionals and 6-311++G(3df,2p) triple-zeta basis s...

This paper presents the application of Signal Detection Theory (SDT) concepts to the certification of optional systems that provide operational or system safety benefits. The method and analysis yield quantitative requir...

Background: Speech-language pathology (SLP) students in South Africa often face persistent challenges in transferring theoretical learning to authentic clinical contexts. This theory–practice divide is compounded by l...

Background. Deciding whether to participate in a radiotherapy trial is complex for patients with head and neck cancer. Standard patient information leaflets meet ethical requirements but do not provide balanced compariso...

In the power plants operation, the combustion process will produce particulate emissions. Particulate emissions themselves are known have a negative impact on health, such as causing respiratory problems. The pattern of ...

This article presents a multidisciplinary research project that involves a digital application developed for ikat weaving communities from Chonnabot District in Khon Kaen Province in Thailand. The app is aimed at generat...
