Challenges and pathways for renewable energy transition amid crisis: A case study on community perspectives during the Russian war against Ukraine

The ongoing war in Ukraine has exposed the vulnerability of centralised energy systems while increasing the importance of decentralised renewable energy for maintaining essential public services. Existing research has largely focused on infrastructure damage, national energy poli...

From pollutants to power: Waste-derived materials in microbial fuel cell architecture and substrate utilization

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are emerging as a transformative bioelectrochemical technology capable of bridging the gap between circular waste management and sustainable, decentralized power generation. This review critically examines recent advances and emerging trends in waste-t...

Perturbation Stability in Evaluating Modified Stieltjes Continued Fractions for Modern Applications

Due to the demands of modern applications, such as forecasting using ordinal continued fraction regression models in economics, the study of structural stability to data perturbations has become an urgent need. While continued fractions demonstrate superior effectiveness over tra...

Lectrical stabilization of CdZnTe by argon plasma treatment and diamond-like carbon passivation

The high specific resistance of CdZnTe-based radiation detectors enables high energy resolution and detection sensitivity, as it determines the device's leakage currents. In this work, an ion-plasma surface treatment was developed to enhance the electrical stability and radiation...

Structure over Scale: Bank Credit vs. Market Capitalization in the Evolution of Financial System Balance

The study examines the evolution of financial system structural orientation as a variable reflecting the relative weight of bank credit and market capitalization. The study aims to assess the long-term evolution of financial system structural orientation, its convergence patterns...

Leveraging higher education for cultural and heritage tourism in the European Union: curricular innovation, research integration, and societal engagement

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the multifaceted role of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the European Union in driving cultural and heritage tourism. Moving beyond conventional instruction, it proposes a comprehensive tripartite framework designed to position uni...

Two-Stage Versus One-Stage Architectures for Detecting Small, Distant Ground Vehicles on Edge Hardware: A Controlled Multi-Seed Evaluation of Accuracy, Speed, and Corruption Robustness

Detecting small, distant ground vehicles in real time on edge hardware requires models that jointly balance accuracy, computational efficiency, and robustness to degraded imagery; therefore, deployment suitability cannot be inferred from accuracy on general-purpose benchmarks alo...

Behavioral Determinants of Prosumers’ Efficiency-Enhancing Changes in Energy Consumption Patterns

One of the key challenges of the contemporary solar energy market is matching supply and demand. The demand side of this problem largely depends on the difficult-to-predict, individualized, numerous, and dispersed behaviors of prosumers. With this in mind, the main objective of t...

Integrating behavioural economics and sustainability criteria into real estate decision-making: evidence from Generation Z consumer

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the evolving residential preferences of Generation Z (Gen Z) consumers in the context of global urban transformations and socio-economic uncertainty. This study examines the role of rational and behavioural considerations in shaping preferen...

Carbazolyl-Substituted Benzoic Anhydrides as Efficient Triplet Harvesters for High-Brightness Blue Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract A simple and efficient synthetic strategy for the preparation of carbazole-basedC2-symmetric anhydrides with donor−acceptor−donor (D−A−D) architecture is presented. Four benzoic anhydrides incorporating carbazole or 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole donor units, linked to the a...
