Rethinking avian influenza control: a systems-oriented One Health perspective for family poultry

Early detection and control of high- and low-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI, LPAI) in family poultry flocks remain challenging in settings where mortality from enzootic diseases such as Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bursal dise...

3 Dimenions for Long Term Conditions - creating a sustainable bio-psycho-social approach to healthcare

Introduction: 30% of people with long-term conditions also have a mental health condition. 3Dimensions for Long-term Conditions (3DLC) integrates psychosocial care into heart failure, COPD and resistant hypertension treatment. It is a joint...

Beam-Based Mobility Management in 5G Millimetre Wave V2X Communications: A Survey and Outlook

It is envisaged that 5G can enable many vehicular use cases that require high capacity, ultra-low latency and high reliability. To support this, 5G proposes the use of dense small cells technology as well as and highly directional mmWave sy...

Optimal Deployment of Dynamic Wireless Charging Lanes for Electric Vehicles considering the Battery Charging Rate

Dynamic wireless charging (DWC) technology enables the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) en route without the need for stopping on long-distance trips. Based on DWC technology, a dynamic wireless charging system (DWCS) concept is proposed...

Dynamic Inventory Planning with Unknown Costs and Stochastic Demand

Generally ordering policies are done by two methods, including fix order quantity (FOQ) and fix order period (FOP). These methods are static and either the quantity of ordering or the procedure of ordering is fixing in throughout time horiz...

A review of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) incorporation in the hydrogen production process

Integrating the photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system in green hydrogen production is an improvement in sustainable energy technologies. In PV/T systems, solar energy is converted into electricity and thermal energy simultaneously using hot wa...

Digital Twin-based Framework for Heat Stress Calculation

According to the KNMI Klimaatsignaal’21, the average surface temperature in The Netherlands has increased by 2.3°C between 1901 and 2020. Moreover, The Netherlands is also experiencing more frequent and intense heatwaves. Urban de...

Research on Dispersion Compensation of FD-OCT System via Pix2Pix GAN Technique

Dispersion in optical coherence tomography (OCT) poses a challenge that is exacerbated by the increased spectral bandwidth, which leads to image blur and feature loss. In this paper, we present a straightforward and cost-effective approach ...

Research on Parameter Influence of Offshore Wind Turbines Based on Measured Data Analysis

Offshore wind turbines are prone to structural damage over time due to environmental factors, which increases operational costs and the risk of accidents. Early detection of structural damage through monitoring systems can help reduce maint...

Future Protein Supply and Demand: Strategies and Factors Influencing a Sustainable Equilibrium

A growing global population, combined with factors such as changing socio-demographics, will place increased pressure on the world’s resources to provide not only more but also different types of food. Increased demand for animal-based prot...

Techno-economic feasibility analyses of grid- connected solar photovoltaic power plants for small scale industries of Punjab, Pakistan

The globally soaring energy prices and electricity shortfall are major hurdles in the economic development of Pakistan. To cope with periodic power outages, small and medium enterprise (SME) business owners have to fall back on alternate po...

Selective green removal of arsenic from wet-process phosphoric acid using marine-derived Neptune ball Fibres

Abstract Phosphoric acid is the second most widely produced mineral acid worldwide and is predominantly manufactured via the wet process. However, wet-process phosphoric acid (WPPA) contains significant levels of dissolved and suspended imp...
