Lean 5.0 extends continuous improvement beyond efficiency toward human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience, but company performance systems rarely measure these dimensions. This study proposes a Lean 5.0 Decision-Support System (L5.0-DSS) that...

Recently, the development of biomass-based polymers has attracted a great deal of attention as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. However, the relatively limited mechanical properties of these bio-derived polymers often require re...

Sonication of carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions is commonly employed in practice to disentangle agglomerates in order to promote homogeneity and finer dispersion in suspensions and, consequently, to effect more predictable end-properties of nanofluid...

Fluorescence is a powerful tool to realize textile products with high-visibility effects. Fluorescent materials can transfer non-visible UV light into visible light, and by doing so, the visibility under illumination with sunlight increases. For text...

Color correction matrix calibration compresses residual error into a single aggregate objective, leaving control over where that error remains. We formulate residual allocation in linear RGB using weighted minimax and L₁ linear programs and a convex...

Social media platforms generate substantial volumes of unstructured textual data that can provide timely insights into public perceptions of emerging technologies. This study applies an integrated natural language processing framework to analyses Tur...

Agreement in a global reaction does not necessarily preserve local fracture outputs. We audit this distinction in idealized bonded blocks using a four-mode shared-scalar damage law, with separate independent-mode comparisons and prescribed crusher-lo...

This study examines how inherited local regulatory discretion shapes rule-based delegation and reward-based contracting in China’s Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) program. We develop a principal-agent model with endogenous allowance and off...

Background: Within anthropology, ethnography is primarily understood as an empirical method for describing culture, while its philosophical and epistemological aspects have been largely neglected. The present article uses Khalel Argynbayev’s et...

Background: Developing Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for children with severe neuromotor disabilities remains challenging due to developmental neurophysiology and the high cognitive demands of motor imagery. Hybrid BCIs integrating electroen...

Quaternary climatic cycles reshaped freshwater fish distributions, with postglacial recolonisation influenced by climatic suitability and hydrological connectivity. We reconstructed the postglacial history of the common roach (Rutilus rutilus) in the...

Helicobacter pylori infection is commonly acquired in childhood and remains highly prevalent in low- and middle-income settings. Data from rural Ecuadorian schoolchildren are scarce. Methods: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among chi...
