The rapid growth of electric mobility is reshaping active distribution networks (ADNs), where electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) introduce spatially concentrated, time-dependent, and highly simultaneous demand. This paper develops a network-or...
The Listán Negro cultivar, a red grape variety endemic to the Canary Islands, has been traditionally characterized by limited color stability, often leading to significant pigment loss during early storage. The present study investigates the e...
Smartphone colorimetry has emerged as a low-cost and accessible approach for participatory environmental monitoring. In this feasibility study, mangrove soil samples collected at two depths (approximately 0 and 30 cm) and three distances from the sho...
In the face of intensifying climate change, agricultural water security in semi-arid zones has emerged as a critical frontier for water governance. This study provides a systematic and critical analysis of the scientific literature to map current res...
Brosimum alicastrum Swartz (Mayan Nut) is a traditional Mesoamerican resource with nutritional potential exceeding many cereal grains, yet its therapeutic efficacy relative to processing remains under-researched. This study investigated the impact of...
Plasticizers enhance polymer flexibility and durability, yet many leach into aquatic environments as persistent contaminants. Phthalate esters (PAEs), the most widely used plasticizers, are of particular concern due to weak polymer binding, high mobi...
The discharge of metal-complex dyes from textile industries poses significant environmental challenges due to their chemical stability and resistance to conventional biological treatment. This study examined the degradation of Acid Black 194 (AB&ndas...
In this paper we investigate the potential of Magnifying Networks, an architecture recently proposed in the domain of digital pathology, in the realm of satellite imagery analysis, an increasingly important remote sensing modality of practical signif...
High-performance pervious concrete (HPPC) has gained increasing attention due to its potential use in sustainable urban infrastructure. However, there is still no consensus on its definition or design parameters, particularly regarding mechanical str...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer globally and often diagnosed at advanced stages in Indonesia. Metabolomic profiling has emerged as a promising approach for identifying biomarkers associated with breast cancer (BC). However, the specificity an...
The increasing global demand for animal-derived food products, combined with growing environmental and public health concerns, has intensified the search for sustainable strategies in livestock production. Among emerging nutritional approaches, phyto...
With the introduction of biologic therapies for severe asthma, clinical remission has gained increasing relevance as a therapeutic goal; however, real-world data and validated predictors remain limited. We conducted a retrospective real-life study in...
Spiking neural networks can exhibit complex emergent dynamics, but the credibility of spatially explicit agent-based implementations depends on systematic verification and validation (V&V). This study introduces LANA (Local Adaptive Neural Agents...
Poor solubility and low permeability remain major obstacles to the oral bioavailability of mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid, 5-ASA), a BCS Class IV anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. In this study, we report...
Macroporous crystals—crystalline materials containing interconnected pores larger than 50 nm—have emerged as a distinct class of porous solids capable of overcoming the mass-transport limitations inherent to microporous and mesoporous fra...
Mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) modifications have emerged as critical regulators of pancreatic β-cell bioenergetics, influencing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and the early pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). This review synthesizes...
Pregnancy involves major cardiovascular adaptations, yet its long-term impact on maternal brain health remains poorly understood. The American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) and Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) are validated tool...
Lavandula angustifolia essential oil (LEO) was obtained by hydrodistillation of air-dried flowers collected in the Mostar region (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Its chemical composition was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, revealing a camp...
Autonomy and trust are central concepts in sociology and psychology and are particularly relevant to the study of hybrid societies in which human and artificial agents interact. Trust is essential for effective collaboration across a wide range of co...
Most Portuguese aquaculture farms are located in estuaries and coastal lagoons, which are highly productive, nutrient-rich transition zones that are also among the most vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures and climate change. This study assesses Ria...
The increasing use of pressure-sensitive labels (PSLs), driven by growth in the packaging sector, raises concerns regarding material consumption and end-of-life management under evolving European packaging regulations. This study investigates the bio...
Natural antioxidants are essential for protecting the body against oxidative stress and exhibit a wide range of biological activities. In this context, forty extracts derived from ten submerged cultivated mushroom species were analyzed for their myco...
This article proposes a mathematical model for quantitatively assessing the cyber resilience of modern blockchain platforms. Constructing the mathematical model, the authors proposed representing the architecture of a blockchain-based information sys...
This study investigates the influence of extraction method and solvent on the UV spectral characteristics of extracts obtained from selected agro-industrial waste materials. Conventional maceration and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) were applie...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the format, style and content of scientific publishing. Traditional reviews are likely to give way to more personalized, AI-generated literature surveys on the one hand and more innovative, perhaps eve...
Developing plant-based weed-management tools from allelopathy requires evidence that phytotoxicity is both chemically supported and biologically reproducible. This study examined whether the allelopathic activity of Clitoria ternatea L. varies among...
