Biomass and Electric Cooking Pathways in Ghana
This study examines how reducing biomass-based cooking could affect electric cooking adoption in Ghana using the Climate, Land, Energy and Water Systems (CLEWs) framework and OSeMOSYS from 2022 to 2063. Two scenarios were assessed: Business-as-Usual (BAU) and Zero Biomass, where...

DHST: A Deep Hybrid Structure–Topology Framework for Accurate Protein Function Prediction
Accurate protein function prediction (PFP) is essential for understanding biological systems. However, structure-based graph neural networks often rely on fixed-distance contact maps, which may inadequately capture continuous, multi-scale spatial topologies, while the long-tail d...

Abstract Nitrogen oxides (NOx) demand urgent capture—they can trigger self-catalytic decomposition in nitrocellulose, risking combustion or explosion under high temperature and humidity. To counteract this, rigid, nonplanar building blocks with aliphatic C–H units, contorted Trög...

Power Systems Transition Simulation Using Artificial Neural Networks and Surrogate Modelling
Transforming energy supply systems is essential for achieving a sustainable, carbon-neutral future. However, this transition substantially increases the complexity of long-term planning due to the large-scale integration of carbon-free energy sources, strong interactions among te...
