The SPL (SQUAMOSA-promoter binding protein-like) gene family is one of the largest plant transcription factors and is known to be involved in the regulation of plant growth, development, and stress responses. The genome-wide analysis of SPL gene memb...
Variations in flowering time and plant architecture have a crucial impact on crop biomass and yield, as well as the aesthetic value of ornamental plants. Aechmea fasciata, a member of the Bromeliaceae family, is a bromeliad variety that is commonly c...
Spironolactone (SPL), a potent anti-aldosterone steroidal drug used to treat several diseases in paediatric patients (e.g., hypertension, primary aldosteronism, Bartter’s syndrome, and congestive heart failure), is not available in child-friend...
Optimizing software to become (more) energy efficient is an important concern for the software industry. Although several techniques have been proposed to measure energy consumption within software engineering, little work has specifically addressed...
Rare earth elements, comprising 17 elements including 15 lanthanides, are essential components in numerous high-tech applications. While physicochemical methods are commonly employed to remove toxic heavy metals (e.g., cadmium and mercury) from indus...
The article presents the results of an experimental study of the sound pressure level (SPL) caused by a hydraulic power unit with an external gear pump. The study was carried out with a specially developed laboratory experimental setup based on a com...
This study presents a semi-empirical approach to generalizing the acoustic radiation generated by serrated airfoil configurations, based on small-scale aerodynamic/acoustic experiments and functional regression techniques. In the context of passive n...
The recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the need for quickly adaptable technologies in vaccine manufacturing. This can be achieved through virus-like particles (VLPs) as presentation platforms for target antigens. In this study, we investigate...
Several studies have shown enhanced performance in change detection tasks when spatial cues indicating the probe’s location are presented after the memory array has disappeared (i.e., retro-cues) compared with spatial cues that are presented simultan...
Over the last decade, national authorities and European administrations have made great efforts to establish methodological standards for the assessment of underwater continuous noise, especially under the requirements set by the Marine Strategy Fram...
Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) have been widely applied in distance sensing. However, the sensing distance of currently reported miniaturized ultrasonic sensors (e.g., PMUTs or CMUT) is still limited up to a certain range...
Angelica sinensis is a low-temperature and long-day perennial herb that has been widely used for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in recent years. In commercial cultivation, up to 40% of flowering decreases the officinal yield of roots and accumulatio...
The transmission of high-volume multimedia content (e.g., images) is challenging for a resource-constrained wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) due to energy consumption requirements. Redundant image information can be compressed using traditio...
A handclap is a convenient and easily available source for room acoustic measurements. If used correctly (e.g., application of optimal hand configuration) it can provide usable results for the measurement of acoustic parameters, within an expected de...
Background: The benefit of hearing rehabilitation is often measured using audiological tests or subjective questionnaires/interviews. It is important to consider both aspects in order to evaluate the overall benefits. Currently, there is no standardi...
Sound environments in large public buildings are likely to be different from those of performance spaces, as well as those not specifically designed for acoustic “performance”, but where sounds still play an important role because of the function the...
Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is one of the key technologies facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources and mitigating the climate crisis. Recently, Li4SiO4 has been reported to be a promising heat carrier material for TCES appli...
Fish species’ biological vocalizations serve as essential acoustic signatures for passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and ecological assessments. However, limited availability of high-quality acoustic recordings, particularly for region-specific...
