A numerical study on the thermal buffering of bricks integrated with cylindrical phase change material capsules

While phase change materials (PCMs) in bricks are known to improve thermal mass, the influence of capsule geometry in hot climates remains poorly understood. This study evaluates the thermal performance of thermally smart bricks (TSBs) integrated with cylindrical heptadecane caps...

Oxygen-vacancy mediated charge dynamics in nano-engineered Ba/Co-doped MTiO₃ electron transport layers for enhanced organic solar cells

Engineering oxide electron-transport layers (ETLs) through defect and interfacial electronic-state control is an effective strategy for reducing charge-collection losses in inverted organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, a hierarchical TiO₂/CoTiO₃ (CTO) bilayer ETL was developed by...

Humanity, Nature, and Survival in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi and Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake: An Ecocritical Comparative Study

Addressing the growing global urgency of environmental crises in contemporary Anglophone literature, this study examines the relationship between humanity, nature, and survival in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi and Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake through an ecocritical Anthropocene fr...

Purposeful publishing: concern as methodological responsibility in accounting research

Purpose This article addresses how purposeful research can be sustained in academic systems where what matters is increasingly defined through citation counts and journal rankings. It proposes the recovery of purpose through concern. A study's concern is the normative orientation...

Mixed Cropping Improves Soil Fertility via Enhancing Plant Facilitation in Alpine Artificial Grassland

By enhancing plant complementarity and facilitation, mixed cropping may accelerate soil fertility recovery and improve grassland ecosystem resilience. Nevertheless, the impacts of mixed cropping on soil fertility over a single growing season, and the underlying plant–soil interac...

Learning German Language & Culture

We start studying german language & culture. The Carreer opportunities are great.

SIGN-AIR: real-time sign language recognition and translation using gesture-aware neural networks on aerial robotic platforms

Abstract Communication barriers experienced by deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals remain a significant challenge, particularly in situations where conventional communication infrastructure is unavailable or fixed-camera systems have limited coverage. This paper presents SIGN-AI...

The Art of Printing [3D Engineering & Advanced Geometry]

There are sequences of actions that we repeat everyday. Among them is the printing action: print a numeric paper in pdf format and save it on your computer, or print it using a Xerox Machine or HP-printer. We found out we can do More: Let us Print in 3D Dimension, and investigate...

Soliton solutions and dynamical bifurcation analysis of the Yajima-Oikawa equations

Abstract The Yajima–Oikawa equations describes the resonant interaction between ion sound waves and Langmuir waves in plasma. Despite its importance, the detailed dynamical behavior of this model has not been comprehensively explored. In this work, we present a unified analytical...

Non-Hermitian trapping of Dirac exciton-polariton condensates in a perovskite metasurface

Massless Dirac particles avoid trapping because of their exceptional tunneling properties manifested in the so-called Klein paradox. This conclusion stems from the conservative treatment, but so far, it has not been extended to a non-Hermitian framework. Recently, driven-dissipat...

Decoding multidimensional water quality in arid industrial lakes: a comprehensive CCME-WQI, HPI, and GIS-based evaluation of the Arab al-Ulayqat system

Effective water quality management is crucial in arid regions, where inland water systems are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure and climatic stress. This study aimed to assess water quality in Egypt’s Arab al-Ulayqat Lakes using physicochemical, microbiological, heavy-m...

Macro-level predictors and temporal persistence of global mental health burden: a machine-learning panel study, 1990–2023

Mental disorders contribute substantially to global disability and economic burden, yet relatively little is known about how macro-level national indicators relate to cross-country differences in mental health burden. We constructed a country–year panel for 183 countries from 199...

AI-Driven Sustainability Reporting and Corporate Greenwashing: Legal Accountability and Governance Challenges in the ESG Era

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping sustainability reporting, influencing how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information is collected, analysed, and disclosed. While AI-assisted reporting improves efficiency and analytical capability, it also raises importan...

Mechanistic Basis of Nanobubble Functionality in Food Systems: Linking Electrokinetic Stabilization, Transport Dynamics, and Functional Outcomes

ABSTRACT Recently, there has been a surge in shifting of scientific interest towards the adoption of nonthermal technologies in food processing applications. Nanobubble (NB) technology is one of the emerging green technologies that has gained increased attention over recent years...

A review of object detection methods: lightweight and energy-efficient detectors

Object detection means finding and naming objects inside an image or a video. Today, making these models lightweight and energy-efficient is very important. This is because we want to run them on small devices like smartphones, drones, and smart cameras that have limited battery...
