Background: Geographical accessibility to health services is essential for equitable health systems. This cross-sectional study assessed spatial accessibility to health services in the Argentina–Paraguay border region of the Gran Chaco (estimat...
Despite efforts to increase childhood vaccination coverage in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), approximately 20% of infants have not started their routine immunization schedule (zero-dose). The present study aims to evaluate the relative i...
This paper presents the design and development of a novel mechanically overdamped actuator with adjustable stiffness (MOD-AwAS). The novelty of MOD-AwAS compared to other variable stiffness actuators relates to its mechanical design, which prevents o...
Objectives: The HOSTILE score was developed to assess femoral access challenges in transcatheter valve therapy. Similar vascular issues arise in femoral cannulation for minimally invasive valve surgery, making CT-based planning essential. We adapted...
Within the scope of this article, security threats against web applications and the effects of Web Application Firewall (WAF) usage on security were examined. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the open-source ModSecurity-based...
As data exploitation continues to demonstrate its value, ontologies, thesauri, and other semantic datasets are increasingly recognized for enabling semantically meaningful data integration across disparate domains. With the proliferation of dataset c...
Several RSA variants enforce a constraint between their public and private keys through the relation
The smart environmental management system proposed in this work offers a new approach to environmental monitoring by utilizing data from IoT stations and MODIS satellite imagery. The system is designed to be deployed in vast regions, such as the Meko...
In today’s job market, effective social communication is crucial for employment success. We investigated “Cog ‘n’ Role”, a novel video modeling (VM) intervention that integrates video self-modeling (VSM) and social probl...
This study focuses on the suspended sediment delivery of 17 rivers and streams of various sizes to the sea over a wide geographical area covering most of the Greek peninsula, utilizing two Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) product...
The vegetation cover in the basins of small and medium-sized rivers of the southwestern Caspian region performs crucial ecosystem functions; however, arid and semi-arid conditions, dissected topography, and intensive anthropogenic pressure make these...
Rapid access to building intelligence is critical for emergency response, yet paper fire safety instructions (FSi) often provide limited utility under stress. This structured narrative review addresses the “information gap” between unit a...
The aim of this study is to analyze the representation of geological, mining, processing, and environmental processes in platform Minecraft. Based on a methodological comparison of in-platform mechanics with technological and geoscientific procedures...
The accurate detection and segmentation of accessible surface regions in water scenarios is one of the indispensable capabilities of surface unmanned vehicle systems. ‘Most existing methods focus on accuracy and ignore the lightweight and real-...
Ricin is a type 2 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP), containing a catalytic A chain and a lectin-like B chain. It inhibits protein synthesis by depurinating the N-glycosidic bond at α-sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) of the 28S rRNA, which thereby prevents...
Snow is a critical component of the climate system, provides fresh water for millions of people globally, and affects forest and wildlife ecology. Snowy regions are typically data sparse, especially in mountain environments. Remotely-sensed snow cove...
This article addresses the challenge of 6D aircraft pose estimation from a single RGB image during the flight. Many recent works have shown that keypoints-based approaches, which first detect keypoints and then estimate the 6D pose, achieve remarkabl...
Accurate daily snow cover extent is a significant input for hydrological applications in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Although several Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) daily cloud-free snow cover products over the QTP...
There is still a need to develop scenarios and models aimed at substituting fuelwood and reducing the use of fossil fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), on which low-income rural households in the Global South often depend. The use of these f...
Background/Objectives: Jumping is a common movement pattern, often used in testing for both performance monitoring and decision-making in return to sport. Current methods of assessing movement coordination are time-, technology- and expertise-depende...
Background/Objectives: The global burden of spinal cord injury (SCI) is increasing due to aging populations and persistent regional disparities, highlighting an urgent need for updated epidemiological data. This study quantifies the global, regional,...
It is known that changes in temperature could cause changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which would have an immediate and long-term impact on the global mean sea level. For this reason, the monitoring of air temperature (Ta) is of great interest to t...
The Indus River, which flows through China, India, and Pakistan, is mainly fed by melting snow and glaciers that are spread across the Hindukush–Karakoram–Himalaya Mountains. The downstream population of the Indus Plain heavily relies on...
Fluctuations of the weather conditions, due to global climate change, greatly influence plant growth and development, eventually affecting crop yield and quality, but also plant survival. Since water shortage is one of the key risks for the future of...
Movement ecologists have witnessed a rapid increase in the amount of animal position data collected over the past few decades, as well as a concomitant increase in the availability of ecologically relevant remotely sensed data. Many researchers, howe...
Examining the features of vegetation change and analyzing its driving forces across an extensive time series in Xinjiang are pivotal for the ecological environment. This research can offer a crucial point of reference for regional ecological conserva...
Vegetation cover characteristics underpin the understanding of regional ecosystem status and guide sustainable development. While extensive research has documented long-term vegetation dynamics in Qinghai Province, critical gaps remain in identifying...
