Spatial Data Fusion and Machine Learning Bias Correction for Convection-Permitting Atmospheric Downscaling and Multi-Criteria Site Feasibility Mapping in Complex Coastal Terrains

High-resolution atmospheric modeling over topographically complex coastal zones requires multi-source spatial data fusion to bridge the scale gap between satellite-assimilated global reanalysis and localized boundary layer dynamics. This study presents a spatial data fusion frame...

Between Fire and Electricity: A Cultural-Historical Analysis of Activity, Sense Formation, and Energy Transition among Wayuu Indigenous Women

Abstract Energy transitions are typically framed as technical processes of infrastructure replacement. This study challenges that framing by examining how Wayuu Indigenous women from the Uriana clan in La Paz–Manaure (La Guajira, Colombia) form personal sense within culturally me...

Edge-Optimized Reservoir Computing for Forecasting Complex Ecological Systems: Predicting Fishery Collapse with Incomplete Data

Monitoring landings in data-scarce fisheries is hampered by short, noisy series and multi-year reporting gaps. We benchmark Echo State Networks (ESNs) against SARIMA, LightGBM, and LSTM models and against naïve and seasonal-naïve persistence, for one-step-ahead forecasting of the...

Picture-to-picture matching, verbal-to-picture matching, and tact of images for autistic children through the use of an application on a tablet

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a tablet application designed for image picture-to-picture matching, verbal-to-picture matching, and tact training in autistic children. The participants in the research were two school-age autistic children. The initial e...

Technoeconomic and Environmental Assessment of a Power-to-H2-to-Power Metal Hydride System for a Renovated Greek Building

Abstract The present study examines the dynamic energy, environmental, and economic performance of a power-to- H 2 -to-power production and storage system based on metal-hydride (MH) technology, integrated as a hybrid energy storage solution for a renovated office building in Pto...

Barriers and opportunities in waste electrical and electronic equipment management in Brazil and Colombia: Insights from recycling companies and cooperatives

This study investigates the challenges and institutional dynamics of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) management in Brazil and Colombia through the perspectives of recycling companies and cooperatives. A qualitative research approach was employed using semi-struct...
