Physical activity levels tend to decrease as adolescents’ transition to adulthood. University course-based interventions utilising technology are a promising idea to combat this decrease. This review aims to systematically identify, critically apprai...
There are a number of gaps in reviews relating Ostrom’s design principles (DPs) to common-pool resource (CPR) institutions. These include the geographical distribution of CPRs, the performance of young CPRs relative to the DPs, and the relationship b...
Gated communities have been the popular form of housing around the world to address social and safety issues over the past decade, including in Chinese cities. However, gated communities, despite being a more efficient system (less congested), have b...
Livability is an important consideration when planning urban public open spaces. To increase urban livability and the potential for a variety of human activities—including necessary, optional, and social activities—in winter cities, clima...
Viral and synthetic vectors to deliver nucleic acids were key to the rapid development of extraordinarily efficient COVID-19 vaccines. The four-component lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), containing phospholipids, PEG-conjugated lipids, cholesterol, and io...
The visual design elements and principles (VDEPs) can trigger behavioural changes and emotions in the viewer, but their effects on brain activity are not clearly understood. In this paper, we explore the relationships between brain activity and colou...
Our first-principles calculations have unveiled a profound influence of varied external charges on the energy levels and spin distributions of zero-, one-, and two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials. By leveraging the Fermi distribution formula, we sys...
Groundwater is a critical resource for agriculture and livelihoods, particularly in semi-arid regions such as Gujarat and Rajasthan in India. However, unsustainable extraction has led to aquifer depletion and increased water insecurity. This study us...
