The World Ecology of Desalination

World-systems scholars are increasingly engaged in issues at the intersection of ecological and economic concerns since the proliferation of debates on the Anthropocene. Recently, the alternative concept of Capitalocene—age of Capital—has e...

Deep neural network-based prediction of tsunami wave attenuation by mangrove forests

The goal of this research is to develop a model employing deep neural networks (DNNs) to predict the effectiveness of mangrove forests in attenuating the impact of tsunami waves. The dataset for the DNN model is obtained by simulating tsuna...

Identification of Interfunctional Coordination Items Important for Business Performance of SMEs

This paper provides a deeper analysis of the relationships between interfunctional coordination (IFC) and business performance (BP). IFC is studied in many fields such as marketing, management, logistics, informatics or human resources. The...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Bed Exchange Characteristics of Fine Sediments From the Weser Estuary

Sedimentation of fine-grained sediments in estuaries is a natural physical phenomenon influenced by biogeochemical processes. In the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), enhanced net deposition of sediments is observed even in areas with high...

Engineering of logistics flows

The article is devoted to the engineering of logistics flows. Logistics flow engineering aims to apply methods of fuzzy modeling of logistics processes according to indicators-criteria of fuzzy relationships, search for the most optimal cou...

Evaluating the Suitability of the Simplified Pairs Trading Strategy for Short-term Equity Market Trading

Pairs trading has been a successful tool for traders since its inception in the 1980s and has evolved significantly with the introduction of algorithmic, machine, and AI trading. This evolution has compli­cated the implementation of this st...

Rewind, recycle, revive! An investigation into nostalgia-driven sequel and requel practices in small European film industries: The case of Flanders

In the last decade, nostalgia-driven imitative filmmaking – characterised by requels and ‘belated’ sequels – has become ubiquitous in commercial cinema globally. While the transgenerational appeal of nostalgia in Hollywood has been research...

Hemispherical Microelectrode Array for Ex Vivo Retinal Neural Recording

To investigate the neuronal visual encoding process in the retina, researchers have performed in vitro and ex vivo electrophysiological experiments using animal retinal tissues. The microelectrode array (MEA) has become a key component in r...

Transcutaneous permeation enhancer complex for polymer-based transdermal patches

Selecting a permeation enhancer complex (PEC) for inclusion in a matrix-type transdermal patch (TP) is a primary task in creating a new dosage form with percutaneous administration. Objective: to develop a biologically safe PEC capable of r...

ROS/Enzyme Dual-Responsive Drug Delivery System for Targeted Colorectal Cancer Therapy: Synergistic Chemotherapy, Anti-Inflammatory, and Gut Microbiota Modulation

Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, driven by chronic inflammation, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and complex tumor microenvironment interactions. Current therapies are limited by systemic toxicit...

Scalable micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic surface modifications for enhanced energy efficiency and heat transfer performance in stainless steel and titanium

Condensation refers to the change of a substance from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase, an example of which is the condensation of water vapor in nature. Condensation is used in many industries, such as energy generation and seawater desal...
