Experimental Embryology is often referred to as a classical approach of developmental biology that has been to some extent replaced by the introduction of molecular biology and genetic techniques to the field. Inspired by the combination of this appr...
Tissue spheroids are self-organised 3D cellular aggregates that serve as a versatile platform in tissue engineering. While numerous high-throughput methods exist to characterise the cellular function of tissue spheroids, equivalent techniques for the...
Professionals of different disciplines, including chemists and chemical engineers, engage in water research, even though they might not have been extensively trained in it during their studies. We describe a project-centred master level subject “Wate...
Currently, the use of intelligent models for decision making in the water treatment process is very important, as many plants support their implementation with the aim of obtaining economic, social, and environmental gains. Nevertheless, for these sy...
Due to the ongoing trend towards a decarbonisation of energy use, the power system is expected to become the backbone of all energy sectors and thus the fundamental critical infrastructure. High penetration with distributed energy resources demands t...
Due to the increasing use of the different composite materials in lightweight applications, such as in aerospace, it becomes crucial to understand the different damages occurring within them during life cycle and their possible inspection with differ...
According to the United Nations, if measures are not taken by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish. This work addresses this issue by proposing an adaptation of the CLTS, a methodology used in sanitation to promote behavi...
In recent years, data-enabled technologies have intensified the rate and scale at which organisations collect and analyse data. Data mining techniques are applied to realise the full potential of large-scale data analysis. These techniques are highly...
This is the first study to use the self-organisation (Kohonen) map technique, an artificial neural network based on a non-supervised learning algorithm, to categorise Vietnamese banks into super-class groups. Drawing on unbalanced yearly data from 20...
Primary breast cancer (PBC) is a heterogeneous disease at the clinical, histopathological, and molecular levels. The improved classification of PBC might be important to identify subgroups of the disease, relevant to patient management. Machine learn...
Multiple catchment controls contribute to the geomorphic functioning of river systems at the reach-level, yet only a limited number are usually considered by river scientists and managers. This study uses multiple morphometric, geological, climatic a...
Large databases of legacy hydrocarbon reservoir and well data provide an opportunity to use modern data mining techniques to improve our understanding of the subsurface in the presence of uncertainty and improve predictability of reservoir properties...
One of the important parameters of the sheet metal forming process is the coefficient of friction (CoF). Therefore, monitoring the friction coefficient value is essential to ensure product quality, increase productivity, reduce environmental impact,...
As urban populations grow worldwide, it becomes increasingly important to critically analyse accessibility—the ease with which residents can reach key places or opportunities. The combination of ‘big data’ and advances in computatio...
The Upper Hunter Valley is a major coal mining area in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Due to the ongoing increase in mining activities, PM10 (air-borne particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 micrometres) pollution has become a major a...
Previous research has highlighted the critical role of emotional intelligence (EI) in enhancing employee performance. However, there is a notable gap in studies examining the connection between EI competencies and the performance of construction orga...
Business–IT alignment (BITA) has become crucial for effective organisational management in today’s interconnected global economy. This article investigates the relationship between BITA and corporate sustainability, exploring how business...
Sustainable building construction (SBC) contributes immensely to attaining sustainable development initiatives. Nevertheless, SBC is not fully embraced among construction organisations in developing countries due to several challenges, suggesting the...
Understanding and managing water quality in drinking water distribution system is essential for public health and wellbeing, but is challenging due to the number and complexity of interacting physical, chemical and biological processes occurring with...
