This benchmark case study introduces recently developed state-of-the-art general purpose multi-modal nonstationary reliability assessment method for marine, offshore, and naval structures, suitable for physically measure...

Sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks are expected to be AI-native by design, with intelligence embedded directly into the Radio Access Network (RAN) control loop through architectures such as O-RAN, near-real-time RAN I...

BackgroundThere is growing evidence that workplace violence (WPV) including physical, verbal, psychological, racial and sexual violence against healthcare workers (HCW) is a globally increasing burden, with serious negat...

Process safety management (PSM) systems in offshore petroleum operations require systematic prioritization owing to complex technologies, harsh conditions, and resource constraints. This study develops an integrated fram...

Abstract Microbiological contamination of water poses an ongoing global public health concern. This study assesses the association between water quality and beef contamination within the slaughter-to-plate continuum, con...

Turbo roundabouts have recently been developed in various nations due to their numerous benefits. The paper assesses the safety and efficiency of turbo roundabouts. Replacement is done without damaging private property. ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Home blood transfusion is thought to be a promising solution for reducing the burden of hospital visits for elderly patients with hematologic diseases such as myelodysplastic syndrome and leu...

The increasing integration of inverter-interfaced renewable energy sources has significantly changed the dynamic characteristics of modern power systems, resulting in a substantial decline in effective system inertia and...

Abstract Composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) represent a paradigm shift in lightweight pressure containment, achieving substantial mass savings over traditional metallic vessels. However, their widespread depl...

With the rapid expansion of ultra-large industrial modular units (ULIMUs), the demand for maritime transport has grown substantially. These units are typically loaded via roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) operations using ship T-...

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations confront complex systemic risks that challenge traditional analytical methods. This paper develops a hierarchical Bayesian Network (BN) to quantitatively model these risk...

The transport industry has recently shown significant interest in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), specifically for port and inland waterway transport. These systems can improve operational efficiency and safety, which ...

Integration of Photovoltaic (PV) generation into oil and gas power networks has transformed fault behaviour by creating highly complex sensitivity challenges for conventional Overcurrent Relay (OCR) coordination and trip...

A significant part of the population worldwide is at high risk of diseases related to heat stress. The International Labour Organization estimates that by 2030, over 2% of working hours worldwide will be lost to heat, re...

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...

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous lung needle biopsy (US-PLNB) is a pivotal diagnostic technique for subpleural pulmonary lesions, offering significant advantages such as real-time imaging, absence of ionizing radiation, an...

This article presents the Climate-Resilient Systems Prioritisation Index (CRESPI), a GIS-based spatial decision-support framework developed to support climate resilience planning through the prioritisation of Nature-base...

Abstract Background Healthcare laboratories play a critical role in patient care but contribute substantially to environmental impact due to high consumption of energy, water, and chemicals, as well as the generation of ...

The corrosion of carbon steel condensate water pipelines significantly compromises the safety of natural gas production. In this study, a corroded carbon steel pipeline retrieved from an operational facility was thorough...

Abstract The ability to monitor the safety of natural gas pipelines is guaranteed by leak detection. Systems are capable of responding quickly, and very precisely to events because delays during such events can lead to s...

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) orchestration faces critical challenges in managing the Service Quality Index (SQI), Fleet Utilization Ratio (FUR), and Dynamic Pricing Index (DPI) under uncertain and time-varying urban dema...

Abstract Purpose Blockchain technology offers transformative opportunities for healthcare in terms of data security, interoperability, and patient engagement. However, its adoption requires significant adjustments in inf...

The article elucidates the status and prospects of protecting real estate of educational institutions at the regional level under martial law. The article provides a comprehensive definition of the legal mechanisms for e...

Abstract This paper presents a four-wheel differential-drive (4WD) autonomous platform that consolidates grass cutting, collection, leaf crushing, and precision seeding through modular, quick-release toolheads. A vertica...
