This study explores gender disparities in wages and hours worked in the context of remote work, which saw a significant rise in frequency after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, data from the 2022 Con...

Monitoring algal blooms in shallow eutrophic lakes remains challenging due to subtle biomass signals and interference from bottom reflectance and high suspended sediment loads. Utah Lake, a large eutrophic and highly tur...

Abstract Invasive water hyacinth threatens Lake Tana, Ethiopia—the source of the Blue Nile. This study presents the first comprehensive 11-year (2013–2024) remote sensing assessment of the water hyacinth invasion dyn...

With advances in aerospace technology, high-resolution optical imagery from satellites, such as China’s Gaofen series, is vital for climate monitoring and agriculture. However, cloud cover significantly impedes th...

Introduction: The ongoing digitalization is affecting not only how work is organized, but also the health of employees. A safe and healthy working environment is vital for overall sustainability, as it affects opportunit...

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the impact of transitioning from work from home (WFH) to office work on workers’ musculoskeletal disorder symptoms (MSDs) and mental health among full-time Taiwanese ...

Abstract Satellite Image Classification is a process in remote sensing that aims at classifying pixels of satellite imagery into usable information of land use and land cover. This information is not only limited to seve...

Today’s farming is up against the tough task of boosting crop yields while also taking care of the environment. The way pesticides and herbicides are usually applied can be a real hassle. It's often not very efficient,...

The COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown in recent years resulted in many professionals, such as academics, having to work remotely for months, forcing them to renegotiate the boundaries between work and social life. Prior...

Immersive walkthroughs are increasingly used to document, interpret, and communicate heritage sites to remote audiences. This study presents a framework for designing and implementing a cross-platform WebVR walkthrough o...

A high accuracy of antenna beam pointing is essential for weather and cloud radars in order to precisely locate clouds and precipitation. It is also a critical requirement for estimating the horizontal wind field or retr...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is one of the primary sensing models and is broadly used in numerous remote sensing applications including environmental monitoring, maritime monitoring, and climate change research. Unfort...

Introduction. Self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) play a vital role in renewable energy systems, particularly in remote regions. However, their performance is highly sensitive to excitation capacitance, rotor speed...

Disease Diagnosis in crops is a very expensive and lengthy process, as it often involves the need for few experts to make observations, leading to delayed diagnosis, viral spread of diseases, and thus, massive economic l...

Infrared dim and small target detection is crucial in fields, such as military reconnaissance and remote sensing. However, due to the extremely small target size, lack of texture, and low signal-to-noise ratio, the direc...

Objectives To develop a videoconference between a remote-sitting specialist, a patient and a practice staff (phase 1) and explore its feasibility in a small-scale real-world setting (phase 2) as preparation for a randomi...

Airborne LiDAR enables direct measurement of canopy height and three-dimensional forest structure, but many LiDAR-based studies remain difficult to reproduce due to ad hoc processing decisions and limited pipeline transp...

Aim: Healthcare services in remote areas present unique challenges to achieving organizational performance goals due to limited access and infrastructure. This study aims to analyze organizational factors that influence ...

Abstract National‐scale benthic marine habitat maps underpin monitoring and conservation of vulnerable marine and coastal ecosystems. Cloud‐based satellite remote sensing can streamline these processes over spatial s...

Abstract Vision Transformers have demonstrated strong performance across diverse visual tasks; however, their high computational cost due to long token sequences remains a critical challenge. Sequence reduction via pooli...

Abstract This commentary shares reflections and learning about the factors that supported the meaningful involvement of a service user being funded to undertake a service evaluation in a health and social care trust in N...

Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a vital cash crop and a cornerstone of rural economies in South Asia, yet its cultivation remains highly resource-intensive, with heavy demands for irrigation and nitrogen...

Introduction: Informal workers are a priority for health equity. However, Indonesian employment laws provide limited legal social protection to informal workers, which may constrain access to health insurance. From the s...

In marine science and engineering, growing volumes of imaging data are used in exploration and monitoring. The process of manual annotation of this data (i.e. marking and describing objects of interest with labels), to e...
