A systematic scoping review identifying effective virtual reality stress tasks inducing physiological reactivity for future wearables validation

Abstract Efficient and ecologically sound validation of wearables remains a major challenge in stress research. Virtual reality (VR) could support this by providing standardized, immersive stress induction, but the field lacks a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of which VR t...

Inter-System Concordance and Short-Term Survey Repeatability of Two Ground-Penetrating Radar Acquisition–Interpretation Chains in Forensic Search: An Exploratory Field Study

Background/Objectives: Comparative evidence for GPR system selection in forensic search is scarce. This exploratory study assesses the short-term repeatability and inter-system concordance of two GPR acquisition–interpretation chains: the multi-frequency Cobra CBD and the lightwe...

Facts and values in (de)growth economics

Abstract The role of values in scientific contexts has become a large topic of discussion in philosophy and elsewhere. Climate economics, like many sustainability sciences, experiences stark divergences between different scientific perspectives on what the future will look like a...

Evaluating the Suitability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Support Communal Land Registration in Zimbabwe

Poor land registration in some regions is linked to continued reliance on conventional cadastral surveying tools, such as Total Stations and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment, which can be costly, complex, and time-consuming. Communal land in Zimbabwe remains la...

From Fiction to Forensics: Mitigating the Digital CSI Effect Through Interactive Workshops on Artificial Intelligence and 3D Crime Scene Reconstruction

Background/Objectives: Fictional portrayals of criminal investigation have long inflated public expectations of forensic science, in a phenomenon known as the CSI effect. As artificial intelligence, data science and three-dimensional reconstruction enter operational policing, tha...

Actions Speak Louder than Words: Pilot Testing a Virtual Reality Tool to Understand Burglar Co-Offender Decision-Making

Abstract A substantial number of offenders act in pairs or groups, which is especially true for residential burglars. Despite increasing attention on decision-making processes in burglary and the role that co-offenders play in the decision to offend, there has been little focus o...

Deep invertible autoencoders for dimensionality reduction of dynamical systems

Constructing reduced-order models (ROMs) capable of efficiently predicting the evolution of parameter-dependent high-dimensional dynamical systems is crucial in many applications in engineering and applied sciences. A popular class of projection-based ROMs projects the high-dimen...

Bone morphology influences asymptomatic knee kinematics across the flexion range: a dynamic CT study

Considerable inter-individual variability in knee kinematics exists even within asymptomatic populations, yet the extent to which this variability relates to underlying morphology remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify morphological features associated with asymp...

The place bonding potential of nature‐based citizen science with refugee children and youth

Abstract Nature‐based citizen science often involves close interaction with places. In addition to providing benefits, such as learning opportunities and contact with nature, it can facilitate and shape bonds between people and places. Research exploring the place bonding potenti...

Pyridinium Cations Act as Charge Reservoirs in Expanded Halide Perovskite Analogs at High Pressure

ABSTRACT Introducing charge reservoirs within semiconductors is a promising strategy for controlled electronic doping. We previously showed that dmpz 2+ ( N , N ’‐dimethylpyrazinium) molecules placed within the cavities of an expanded analog of halide perovskites, (dmpz)[Sn 2 I 6...

A comprehensive characterization of DNS data

The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating human-readable names into computer-friendly identifiers and employs a reverse tree architecture to facilitate this translation. The forward DNS (fDNS) translates human-readable domain names into computer values, while th...

High-performance computing in the hydrosciences

This paper provides an overview of High Performance Computing (HPC) in the hydrosciences. It begins with the development of HPC architectures and performance as well as with the expansion of application fields over the last decades. Subsequently, four HPC application cases are pr...

FR3-DUALIS: from signal processing to spectrum allocation for real-time wideband full-duplex ISAC—a prototype validation at FR3

Abstract Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) has emerged as a key enabling technology for future 6G networks. Existing implementations encounter fundamental trade-offs: single-band full-duplex systems require complex self-interference cancellation (SIC), time-division app...

Machine learning for wind and solar PV energy production forecasting: a systematic literature review

Abstract The growing share of renewable energy, especially solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind, increases the need for reliable power production forecasts beyond the very short term. Medium-term horizons (here defined as forecasts of at least 24 h ahead) are important for planning t...

Remote sensing for monitoring and managing Eichhornia crassipes: a review of methods, applications, and decision-support frameworks

Abstract Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) is among the world’s most aggressive aquatic invasive plants, with severe ecological and socioeconomic impacts on freshwater ecosystems. Over the last two decades, remote sensing has emerged as a critical tool for monitoring its spre...
