Biomethane is emerging as a key renewable gas in both mature and developing energy systems worldwide. Driven by climate-neutrality objectives, energy-security concerns, and rising waste-to-energy ambitions, global biomethane production is expected to expand rapidly in the coming decade. In Europe, this …

To broaden the application of biomethanation for energy storage and renewable integration, this study investigates the performance of a trickle-bed reactor (TBR) for hydrogen (H2) utilisation in biogas upgrading, using both pure Carbon dioxide (CO2) and biogas-derived CO2 as substrates for methane (CH4) …

Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role in accelerating the energy and material transition. A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol …

Computed tomography (CT) at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) is widely used for muscle quantification, but manual segmentation is labor intensive. This study externally validates an AI model, trained on a public dataset, for automated L3 muscle segmentation using an independent cohort, including a subgroup …

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are increasingly recognized as strategic contributors to a sustainable society. Although sustainable procurement is widely acknowledged as a key mechanism for advancing sustainability goals, many HEIs encounter persistent barriers to its effective implementation. …

Background/Objectives: Urine drug testing (UDT) is a core component of nursing interventions within the treatment of substance use disorder (SUD). Beyond the detection of psychoactive substance use and medication adherence, UDT also provides opportunities for therapeutic dialogue, patient support, and …

Potato starch offers the unique potential of mineral enrichment through the presence of phosphorylated amylopectin chains. This property was utilised in a straightforward dual modification of native potato starch by combining mineral enrichment with dry heat treatments (DHT). DHT itself (110–130 °C, …

This paper presents a conceptual model for creating digital educational games that aim to reduce mathematics anxiety (MA) and promote positive emotional engagement in mathematics education. No empirical data were collected or analyzed; the proposed model is based on a synthesis of theory and empirical …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a powerful tool for simulating building users’ dynamic behavior in demand response (DR) programs. However, ABM faces several challenges, particularly in encoding building users’ natural language features and common sense into rules or mathematical equations. To overcome …
