A Systematic Meta-Synthesis of Factors Influencing University Student Happiness

This study aimed to systematically synthesize and prioritize the main factors influencing university students’ happiness and well-being. Employing a rigorous qualitative methodology based on interpretive meta-synthesis, the research compreh...

Consumers' Perception of Urban Farming—An Exploratory Study

Urban agriculture offers the opportunity to provide fresh, local food to urban communities. However, urban agriculture can only be successfully embedded in urban areas if consumers perceive urban farming positively and accept urban farms in...

Surface albedo from the geostationary Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS)/Meteorological Imager (MI) observation system

The surface albedo is an essential climate variable that is considered in many applications used for predicting climate and understanding the mechanisms of climate change. In this study, surface albedo was estimated using a bidirectional re...

Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be com...

PENINGKATAN KUALITAS DENGAN PENDEKATAN SIX SIGMA DAN PERPEKTIF MBNQA SEBAGAI KRITERIA PRASYARAT BAKU MUTU PADA PT. TAMANACO

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh tingginya angka cacat produksi aluminium collapsible tube khususnya pada produk Kloderma 0.05% gel 5 gram Ø13,4 x 90 mm di PT. Tamanaco. Pada semester kedua tahun 2023, tingkat defect mencapai 8,81% (1.2...

Religious influences on human capital variations in imperial Russia

Historical legacies, particularly imperial tutelage and religion, have featured prominently in recent scholarship on political regime variations in post-communist settings, challenging earlier temporally proximate explanations. The overlap ...

Tourism SMMEs Recovery from COVID-19: A Case of SMMEs in the City of Polokwane, Limpopo province, South Africa

The tourism industry is dependent on travel and factors that inhibits travel, including pandemics such as COVID-19, may have a profound impact on the industry. Although the precise scope and long-term effects of COVID-19 have not yet been...

CSR and CEO’s Moral Reasoning in the Automotive Industry in the Era of COVID-19

This paper assesses whether and to which extent the COVID-19 pandemic, which represents a scenario of high moral intensity, is influencing the moral reasoning of top CEOs (chief executive officers) in the paradigmatic case of the automotive...

From the Somigliana waves to the evanescent waves

The Rayleigh equation has real coefficients; therefore, also the case of complex conjugated roots may be explained physically. The Author proves that the Somigliana waves may be formed for Poisson ratio values until 0.30543; for gradually l...

Snow Depth Retrieval Using Detrended SNR From GNSS-R With Bidirectional GRU

Snow depth monitoring is crucial for hydrology, climate research, and avalanche prediction. While traditional global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reflectometer methods offer cost-effective snow thickness retrieval, they suffer from po...

Induced Local and Systemic Defense Responses in Tomato Underlying Interactions Between the Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita and the Potato Aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae

Plants mediate interactions between different herbivores that attack simultaneously or sequentially aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) organs. The local and systemic activation of hormonal signaling pathways and the concomitant accumulat...

Near infrared spectroscopy predicts crude protein concentration in hemp grain

Abstract This study evaluated near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for nondestructive crude protein (CP) prediction in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) grain and validated the biological basis of spectral predictions. Note that 149 whole grain sample...

Inhibition of Citrus Huanglongbing Disease by <i>Paenibacillus polymyx</i> KN-03 and Analysis with Transcriptome and Microflora

Soil drench treatment using Paenibacillus polymyxa strain KN-03 was applied to citrus plants infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). The infection status was assessed using PCR and a real-time quantitative PCR detection syst...

Toward 3D reconstruction of damaged vehicles for investigating traffic accidents in Thailand using a photogrammetric approach

Traffic accident investigation by the police forensic science department in Thailand is essential to determine their causes. The collection of forensic evidence from damaged vehicles after an accident plays a significant role in damage asse...

Biophysical and textural attributes as selection indices for replacing the adopted cassava variety with the improved genotype to produce fufu

The use of the biophysical and textural qualities of fufu to choose the possible substitution of an adopted cassava variety (TMEB419-V1) with improved genotypes from the breeding program was assessed in this study. Standard methods were use...

Effect of zero-valent iron on Rhizobium sp. cells isolated from cadmium-contaminated sites after remediation by zero-valent iron

Cadmium contamination found in paddy fields in the Maesot District of Tak Province, Thailand. This area was remediated using 50mg/L of ZVI. The study aimed to isolate and identify soil bacteria in the soil and rice roots and to investigate ...

Finite choice, convex choice and finding roots

We investigate choice principles in the Weihrauch lattice for finite sets on the one hand, and convex sets on the other hand. Increasing cardinality and increasing dimension both correspond to increasing Weihrauch degrees. Moreover, we demo...
