Evaluation of the Energy and Ecological Effects of a Photovoltaic-Thermal System

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the operating parameters of a solar active installation with seven photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) collectors with a total area of 14 m2 in a single-family house. A comparative analysis of the work parameters was carried out for the followin...

Comparative Flammability and SEM–EDS Characterization of Contemporary, Aged and Charred Oak Wood from Historic Timber Structures

Historic timber combines structural function with heritage value, yet its fire behaviour is inferred from contemporary wood data. This study provides an integrated, condition-based assessment of contemporary oak (Quercus robur L.) and historic oak from a nineteenth-century half-t...

A Comprehensive Review of SLR Systems: Challenges, Datasets, and Unresolved Gaps

With the rapid advancement of sensor technologies, automated sign language recognition (SLR) has emerged as a critical enabler of inclusive communication systems for individuals with hearing and speech impairments. Although substantial research effort has been directed toward thi...

Influence of cyclodextrin structure on the thermo-oxidative aging resistance of asphalt binder

Thermo-oxidative aging of asphalt is a key challenge facing modern road surfacing technology. The aim of this study is to evaluate zeolite–cyclodextrin hybrid fillers as functional asphalt modifiers, with a focus on their ability to mitigate short- and long-term oxidative aging....
