The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, launched during the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in December 2022, encourages governments, companies and investors to publish data on their nature-related risks, dependencies and impacts. These disclosures are intended to drive businesses …

Designing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with tailored electrical properties remains a critical challenge for various applications. In this paper we present a novel methodology integrating Machine Learning (ML) and optimization procedures to fine-tune electrical properties in lead-free (1-x) Na0.5 …

Ascertaining the contribution of research is complex; this is not a conclusion but a starting point for the preliminary thoughts in this inaugural lecture. The guiding question is: where does this complexity lie? The dominant answer that has taken root in many practices flattens this complexity into …

This study proposes a novel loss function for neural network models that explores the topological structure of stock realized volatility (RV) data by adding Wasserstein Distance (WD). The study shows that the proposed loss statistically significantly improves the forecast accuracy of neural network models …

Drought, caused by climate change, poses a significant threat to the production of barley. To ensure high yields, drought adaptation in barley is critical. Roots are primarily responsible for water uptake, and during drought, when water levels are low, deep rooting traits are crucial for developing drought-tolerant …

Background: Advanced statistical modeling techniques may help predict health outcomes. However, it is not the case that these modeling techniques always outperform traditional techniques such as regression techniques. In this study, external validation was carried out for five modeling strategies for …

This paper introduces a novel distributed algorithm designed to optimize the deployment of access points within Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) for better service quality in infrastructure less environments. The algorithm operates based on local, independent execution by each network node, thus ensuring …

With this contribution, the results of the measurement campaign performed with a synchronously distributed antenna array testbed operating at the center frequency of 3.686 GHz are presented. For the first time, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the electric field distribution indu ced by coherent …

This is a summary of this problem-solving research to gain a quick insight into all key findings and discussions. This research aims to answer the main question which is "How to reduce the order picking process time in the fulfillment center of Asyad Express in Muscat with 30% compared to the current …

In this work, a feasible and low-cost approach is proposed for level measurement in multiphase systems inside tanks used for petroleum-derived oil production. The developed level sensor system consisted of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), light-dependent resistor (LDR), and a low-cost microprocessor. Two …
