Towards Reliable Prosody Detection in Teaching Practical Phonetics: A Sustainable Digital Approach

This research focuses on providing quality education to specialists in the field of linguistic studies, phonology, theoretical and practical phonetics by creating an innovative automated service which can ease the linguists endeavour to transcribe and examine suprasegmental featu...

Integrating Landsat 8 remote sensing and machine learning for water quality assessment in a tropical river basin

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) has degraded river water quality in sub-Saharan Africa, while conventional monitoring remains constrained by cost and logistical challenges. This study integrates Landsat 8 OLI multispectral imagery with machine-learning regression to...

Single‐Photon Emitters Based on Ge‐V Centers in Nanoparticles Obtained From CVD‐Grown Nanocrystalline Diamond Films

A method for obtaining luminescent diamond nanoparticles doped with germanium from nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films grown by microwave plasma‐assisted chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) is presented. Thermal etching in the presence of an alkali metal nitrate enables the selecti...

Development of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Scaffolds for Vascular Tissue Engineering

Abstract Objective: The development of small-diameter vascular grafts remains an unresolved challenge in regenerative medicine due to the mechanical mismatch between commercial prostheses and native tissues, which leads to intimal hyperplasia and thrombosis. The aim of this work...

EEG vs. Hybrid EEG–fNIRS BCI for FES Control in Healthy Subjects: A Blind Randomized Study and an Open Dataset

Among the various brain–computer interface (BCI) modifications used in post-stroke rehabilitation, BCI systems combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) are considered the most effective. As a preliminary step toward optimizing such systems for clinical application, i...

Vacuum-Compatible Electrode-Free Poling of PVDF Films Using Glow-Discharge Plasma

Glow-discharge plasma (GDP) poling is revisited as an electrode-free method for activating piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films. Although this method was proposed several decades ago, its effect on the properties of PVDF films has remained poorly understood....

Dynamic and Post-Deformation Static Aging as an Integrated Approach to Thermomechanical Processing of TiNi Shape Memory Alloys

The effect of thermomechanical processing (TMP) parameters on the structural-phase evolution and properties of Ni-enriched Ti–50.8 at.% Ni shape memory alloy was investigated. Compression deformation was performed at T = 300–500 °C, accompanied by the development of dynamic aging...
