Anthropogenic disturbances are a major cause of extinction and population decline, especially in small, unprotected forest fragments where demographic and genetic challenges are more pronounced. Euterpe edulis , a key resource palm species in the Atlantic Forest, plays a crucial...

3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL) is the most reactive dopamine (DA)-derived aldehyde and has been implicated in selective dopaminergic neurodegeneration in α-synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Here, we present the first...

Robust topology optimization with non-Gaussian material fields using polygonal finite elements
Abstract We present a computational framework for robust topology optimization that integrates polygonal finite-element discretizations, spatially correlated non-Gaussian material modeling, and non-intrusive polynomial-chaos surrogates. Spatial uncertainty in Young’s modulus is r...

This study proposes a data-driven decision support framework for Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) inventory planning from a Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green (LARG) perspective. The first stage of the proposed framework involves demand forecasting, which is implemented us...
