The traces of process executions are a strategic source of information, from which a model of the process can be mined. In our recent work, we have proposed SIM (semantic interactive miner), an innovative process mining tool to discover the process m...
Information security awareness (ISA) has become a vital issue, as security breaches often attributed to humans lead to losses for individuals and organizations. Information security (IS) education may be an effective strategy to improve students’ ISA...
This study aims to identify and examine factors influencing employees’ information security awareness (ISA) in the telework environment. Specifically, the authors identify and examine the influence factors rooted in the knowledge-attitude-behav...
Knowledge of impervious surface areas (ISA) and on their changes in magnitude, location, geometry and morphology over time is significant for a range of practical applications and research alike from local to global scales. Despite this, use of Earth...
Cybercrime is currently rapidly developing, requiring an increased demand for information security knowledge. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and complex in their assault tactics. Employees are a focal point since humans remain the ‘w...
Recent years have seen increased survey and sampling expeditions to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), central Pacific Ocean abyss, driven by commercial interests from contractors in the potential extraction of polymetallic nodules in the region. Par...
Knowledge representation learning is representing entities and relations in a knowledge graph as dense low-dimensional vectors in the continuous space, which explores the features and properties of the graph. Such a technique can facilitate the compu...
Booming urbanization triggers a significant modification of surface landscape configuration and hence complex urban climates. Considerable concerns exist regarding impacts of impervious surface area (ISA) and/or urban green space (UGS) on land surfac...
Although commercial deep seabed mining could provide the international community with new sources of metals and minerals, it can potentially cause adverse effects on the marine environment and biodiversity of the Area. To date, insufficient scientifi...
Once an industrial process is designed, the real implementation of the process control is programmed into Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) devices on the shop floor. These devices are programmed...
Stream burial—the routing of streams through culverts, pipes, and concrete lined channels, or simply paving them over—is common during urbanization, and disproportionately affects small, headwater streams. Burial undermines the physical and chemical...
Ion channels are macromolecular complexes present in the plasma membrane and intracellular organelles of cells. Dysfunction of ion channels results in a group of disorders named channelopathies, which represent an extraordinary challenge for study an...
Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful tool for mineral mapping and increasingly used in poorly-accessible areas. It only requires a limited amount of validation sample points, but can fail to discriminate spectrally-similar features. In this manuscript...
Modern day hardware design is heavily focused on software simulations and verification. ASIC design is complex, and its abstraction may lead to losing motivation to develop knowledge and skills in the field. It is also very costly and inaccessible ou...
Recent reports indicate that over 85% of data breaches are still caused by a human element, of which healthcare is one of the organizations that cyber criminals target. As healthcare IT infrastructure is characterized by a human element, this study c...
This work introduces a novel custom-designed 16-bit RISC-V processor, intended for educational purposes and for use in low-resource equipment. The implementation, despite providing registers of 16 bits, is based on RV32E RISC-V ISA, but with some key...
Throughout time, European policies on climate and energy change have generated several transformations in the building sector. In this endeavour, digital technologies have played an essential role in energy efficiency through process optimisation. Ho...
Evaluation is increasingly important in decision-making processes for the sustainable planning and design of port plans. It acts as a support for plan preparation, for making values, interests and needs explicit, and for exploring the components of t...
Current wireless technologies for industrial applications, such as WirelessHART and ISA100.11a, use a centralized management approach where a central network manager handles the requirements of the static network. However, such a centralized approach...
Accurate recognition of power grid operation behaviors is crucial for ensuring both safety and operational efficiency in smart grid systems. However, this task presents significant challenges due to dynamic environmental variations, limited labeled t...
A key to semantic analysis is a precise and practically useful definition of meaning that is general for all domains of knowledge. We previously introduced the notion of weak semantic map: a metric space allocating concepts along their most general (...
The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between the structure of phytocenoses in riparian wetland ecosystems and the hydrologic regime in a lowland river floodplain. The hydrobotanical study was conducted over three years—2...
The Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm), a globally significant agricultural pest, poses severe threats to crop production. Accurate identification of larval instar stages is crucial for implementing precise control measures and reducing pesticide...
Recent climate scenarios predict dramatic changes for the inland region of Portugal, where the increase in air temperature might reach +5 °C by 2100, accompanied by a strong decrease in precipitation and an increase in extreme events. Such foreca...
The source strength and sink demand as well as their interaction have been demonstrated to co-regulate the synthesis of starch and determine the grain quality, but the knowledge of the underlying physiological mechanisms is limiting. An indica variet...
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a vesicular disease, causes lesions in the mouth, nose, teats, and feet of cloven-hoofed animals. Vaccination remains the most effective method to prevent FMD outbreaks. Since 2010, South Korea has implemented nationwide...
Background and objectives: Several factors may account for food behavior, including common genetic variation. Robust evidence shows that specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are involved in palatability phenotypes. Considering the limited...
