Background: Stroke has always been an important problem troubling human health. Short-term exposure to air pollutants is associated with increased hospital admissions. The rise of pollutants such as O3 has caused a huge social and economic burden. Th...
In this work the feasibility of fully autonomous hydrogen homes designed for complete off-grid operation is presented. A detailed mathematical modeling and optimization model is developed to evaluate the technical performance and economic feasibility...
Providing storm surge risk information at multi-day lead times is critical for hurricane evacuation decisions, but predictability of storm surge inundation at these lead times is limited. This study develops a method to parameterize and adjust tropic...
At present, Rn subsurface flow can be described only by diffusion and advection transportation models within porous media that currently exist. Even though the temperature is a strong driving force in climate and gas thermodynamics, the impact of the...
Snow in the mountainous watersheds of the Tarim River Basin is the primary source of water for western China. The Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 500-m Grid (MOD10A1) remote sensing dataset has proven extremely valuable for monitoring the changing snow co...
Grain moisture content (GMC) is a key indicator of the appropriate harvest period of rice. Conventional testing is time-consuming and laborious, thus not to be implemented over vast areas and to enable the estimation of future changes for revealing o...
In deformation monitoring, the severe GNSS multipath caused by reflective surfaces can significantly degrade positioning accuracy. However, traditional multipath mitigation methods often assume strong day-to-day repeatability of residual errors, whic...
Advances in myoelectric interfaces have increased the use of wearable prosthetics including robotic arms. Although promising results have been achieved with pattern recognition-based control schemes, control robustness requires improvement to increas...
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the influence of dietary nitrate supplementation on performance metrics during cycling sprint exercise according to the PRISMA guidelines. Searches were conducted on MEDLINE, PubMed, ScienceDirect...
Deploying large language models (LLMs) for domain-specific analysis raises a critical validation challenge: distinguishing genuine structural reasoning from training data memorization. We address this through temporal obfuscation testing, which strip...
Although plant sap analysis is a practical, real-time approach to nutrient monitoring, current practice still relies on single-day diagnostics. Because management interventions and environmental drivers can rapidly modulate physiological processes th...
During volcanic eruptions, measurements of the rate at which magma is erupted underpin hazard assessments. For eruptions dominated by the effusion of lava, estimates are often made using satellite data; here, in a case study at Mount Etna (Sicily), w...
Musical tourism has established itself as a growing segment within cultural tourism, particularly among younger generations who prioritise the experiential value of travel. Whilst prior research has focused predominantly on multi-day music festivals,...
Wearable technologies allow the measurement of unhindered activities of daily living (ADL) among patients who had a stroke in their natural settings. However, methods to extract meaningful information from large multi-day datasets are limited. This s...
