Bologna is the first major Italian city to become a ‘30 km/h City’, following the example of many other European cities. Since its launch in 2022, the ‘Bologna Città 30’ Plan has marked the beginning of a techni...

The global transition to sustainable energy systems requires breakthroughs in electrochemical storage technologies that are not only safe but also resource efficient. Solid-state batteries (SSBs), which use superionic so...

Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have achieved clinical success in autologous treatment of hematological malignancies. However, their broader application remains limited. Beyond the biological ch...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

While Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are essential to the global economy, their massive size creates dangerous visibility gaps, or "blind spots," that place both drivers and other road users at risk. Traditional mirrors oft...

Abstract The growing complexity of global food supply chains and increasing demands for safety, longer shelf life, and sustainability have increased the need for advanced packaging technologies. Smart nano-packaging mate...

The parenteral administration of antivenoms is the cornerstone of snakebite envenoming therapy. Efforts are made to ensure that antivenoms of adequate efficacy and safety are available world-wide. We address the main iss...

The perception systems for Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) and Lane Line Recognition (LLR) are foundational pillars for the safe and effective operation of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and fully autonomous ve...

In recent years, Baghdad City has experienced a remarkable increase in the number of motorcyclists. Considerable numbers of motorcyclists are driving against the direction of traffic flow. This has had a negative impact ...

Abstract An X-by-wire chassis can improve the kinematic characteristics of human-vehicle closed-loop system and thus active safety especially under emergency scenarios via enabling chassis coordinated control. This pa...

Pavement distress analysis plays a big role in keeping roads in good shape, especially in busy spots like Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, where heavy traffic and tropical weather make them wear out fast. This work introduces ...

Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP) are pervasive environmental contaminants, yet the molecular mechanisms linking their toxic derivative, 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), to bladder cancer (BLCA) progression remain obscure. This ...

The Level 3 autonomous vehicle (AV) is now a reality on the public roads. While the emergence of AV is to eliminate the traffic crashes due to human error by 90%, the unexpected or errant drivings on the roads would, how...

Abstract Background Acetabular fractures, predominantly caused by high-energy trauma, pose a substantial healthcare burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Nepal. This study aimed to characterize the e...

Recent advances in computer vision and deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have significantly increased road safety. CNNs were used in this work to automatically detect and categorise traffi...
