The PROMES Regional Climate Model: Three Decades of Development and Contributions to Regional Climate Ensemble Research

Regional climate models (RCMs) have become established as essential dynamical downscaling tools, providing physically consistent, high-resolution climate information where global climate models (GCMs) are unable to resolve. Added value is obtained over heterogeneous vegetation, c...

A Mobile-Centric Approach to Improving the Performance of Decentralized Wireless Networks

The proliferation of wireless devices and intelligent environments has led to increasingly dense, interference-prone Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments. Recent amendments, such as IEEE 802.11ax/be, aim to enhance spatial reuse (SR) by optimizing spectrum efficiency. H...

Development and Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of a Questionnaire on Comprehensive Protection, Quality, and Humanization in Pediatric Hospital Care

Background/Objective: We aimed to develop a questionnaire for pediatric healthcare professionals assessing the rights of hospitalized children, service quality, clinical relationships, and care practices and to obtain preliminary evidence of its content validity, internal consist...

Catalytic valorization of wastewater sludge into aviation fuel-range hydrocarbons over Ni, Cu, Co and ZrO2/SAPO-11 catalysts

This work presents an innovative valorization strategy for wastewater sludge to produce aviation fuel range hydrocarbons via the catalytic processing of esters, using Ni, Cu, Co, and ZrO 2 -based catalysts supported on SAPO-11 zeolite. Biofuel was produced under two reaction atmo...

Evolution of Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity of Olive Leaf (Olea europaea L.) Remaining on Branches After Pruning

Olive leaves (Olea europaea L.) are an important by-product of olive pruning and oil production and a rich source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. However, their post-pruning biochemical evolution when leaves remain attached to branches is poorly understood. Thi...

Effectiveness of aerobic exercise on motor function and functional capacity in children and adolescents with neuromuscular diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of aerobic exercise, alone or combined with other modalities, on motor function and functional capacity in children and adolescents with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs).Materials and methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted...

Informal care outside the household by older people and cardiovascular health of caregivers: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the SHARE European study

Social isolation is an established cardiovascular risk factor, but the health implications of providing social support remain understudied. We examined whether informal care outside the household is associated with any self-reported cardiovascular disease. We conducted a cross-se...

Impact of Large-Scale Porosity Variability on Hydrogen Transport in Porous Reservoirs

The representation of reservoir heterogeneity is a key source of uncertainty in the numerical modelling of underground hydrogen storage. Most studies assume either spatially uniform porosity or small-scale random variability, whereas large-scale porosity trends commonly encounter...

From compliance to strategy: a materiality maturity framework for sustainability management in higher education

Purpose This paper aims to analyze why sustainability materiality in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) often remains symbolic, a symptom of failed institutionalization and decoupling, and propose a maturity framework that transforms materiality into a strategic management tool...

Trophic position structures physiological trade-offs between metabolic and detoxification pathways in sympatric passerines

Abstract Resource use links ecological context to organismal performance, yet whether dietary breadth or trophic position is more closely associated with physiological state in wild birds remains unclear. We used a natural trophic gradient in a sympatric passerine assemblage to t...

The history of research in workplace diversity: evolution, debates and future trajectories

Purpose This study aims to examine the historical evolution of the relationship between workplace diversity (WD) and firm performance within the domain of management research. Despite the original interpretation of WD in terms of social aspects, it is becoming increasingly integr...

Balancing energy security and sustainability in G20 countries: a hybrid fuzzy Delphi multi-criteria framework

This study examines the tension between energy security and energy sustainability across the nineteen sovereign members of the Group of Twenty (G20). The framework is novel in three respects. First, criterion weights are elicited from a panel of six large language models (LLMs) a...

Scaling of an evidence-based intervention program in older people with diabetes and frailty in Latin America. Diabfrail-Latam clinical trial protocol

Objectives Diabfrail-Latam is a project funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission (EC) and the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD). The main objective of this protocol is to describe the clinical validation of a multimodal intervention aimed at older p...

A High-accuracy Hyperdimensional Computing Pipeline for IoT Anomaly Detection Based on a High-quality Real-World Dataset

Abstract This work introduces an anomaly classification framework based on hyperdimensional computing (HDC), specifically designed for industrial monitoring scenarios. Inspired by cognitive computing principles, HDC leverages high-dimensional vector representations to achieve rob...

Antibody-drug conjugate engineering: from design to efficacy and safety

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a rapidly expanding class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the high selectivity of monoclonal antibodies with the potent cytotoxic activity of small-molecule drugs. Their clinical success relies on the simultaneous optimizatio...

Polaron conductivity in α-Fe2O3 quenched by adsorbed NO2

Polaron-mediated charge transport in α–Fe 2 O 3 plays a central role in its performance as a gas-sensing material, yet the atomistic interaction between surface adsorbates and polarons remains insufficiently understood. Here, density functional theory with Hubbard-U correction (D...

The AI technological shock and sustainable development: a systemic analysis of entrepreneurial ecosystems

Abstract In a context of increasing global uncertainty and accelerating digital transformation, it is analysed how frontier technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robot density, constitute an external technological shock that influences and reshapes entrepreneuria...
