Forecasting and Structural-Break Characterisation of Water Cut in a Mature Heavy Oil Field: A Multi-Regime Analysis of the Gorisht-Kocul System (2000–2016)

This study characterises and forecasts monthly water cut in the mature Gorisht-Kocul heavy oil field of southern Albania across 204 monthly observations spanning 2000 to 2016. The record is held in two parallel sets of archival year tables, and a physical-consistency framework bu...

Uncovering Latent Scientific Structures in Albanian Texts Using Transformer-Based Clustering

This study analyzes the semantic structure of an Albanian corpus comprising scientific texts with 11.5 million words and approximately 74,500 paragraphs. It aims to cluster the documents according to semantic similarity and uncover thematic structures. The proposed methodology in...

Development of a Generic Tribological Methodology for Aluminium Extrusion Die Contact Simulation: Experimental Validation Through Lubricant Evaluation

The premature degradation of aluminium extrusion dies remains one of the major challenges affecting process efficiency, product quality, and tooling costs. Although numerous studies have investigated wear mechanisms and proposed solutions such as surface treatments, coatings and...

Artificial Intelligence for Intracranial Aneurysm Detection, Rupture-Risk Prediction, and Prognosis Evaluation: Recent Advances and Clinical Integration

Intracranial aneurysm rupture is a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke and a significant contributor to human mortality. With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), a series of new approaches have been introduced to...

Compatible Seismic Retrofitting of a Traditional Albanian Stone Tower Using Internal Textile-Reinforced Mortar Strengthening

Most of the existing tradition of stone masonry towers is unique and irreplaceable in terms of Albanian traditional vernacular architecture. As most of them are situated in earthquake regions, the performance of unreinforced stone masonry is at risk. The brittleness of the materi...
