WANT TO BUILD A MOONBASE? THE SIMULATION EXPLORATION EXPERIENCE (SEE) See

The Simulation Exploration Experience (SEE) is an annual international initiative that brings together teams of students, researchers, and professionals to collaboratively design and implement distributed simulations for space exploration. The project allows student teams from universities worldwide to dev...

Enhancing Wildfire Resilience: A Comprehensive Approach for the Wildland-Urban Interface and Infrastructure See

As wildfires increase both in frequency and intensity due to climate change, there is a pressing need to address the complex interactions between urban expansion and natural ecosystems. The paper explores the development of a novel framework aimed at enhancing resilience against wildfir...

A dataset to support wildland fire and fuel management in Greece created with stochastic wildfire simulations See

The potential spread and intensity of wildfires can be estimated with fire modelling simulators that produce valuable datasets which can be used during the prevention and suppression stages by fire management agencies. In the absence of observational data for all potential ignition sour...

Polygenic predisposition to increased LDL-cholesterol concentration and Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness in childhood and early adulthood See

Background: High polygenic risk score (PRS) for LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), due to a burden of LDL-C-raising genetic variants, has been associated with increased concentration of LDL-C and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in adults. However, the effect of LDL-C PRS on LDL-C in chi...

The relative importance of multiple environmental factors on river macroinvertebrate abundance across different groups based on a nationwide dataset from England See

Many countries are concerned by and wish to arrest or reverse what is termed a biodiversity crisis in invertebrates. To understand the issues facing riverine invertebrates in England, a fully integrated dataset where macroinvertebrate monitoring sites were aligned in space and time with...

Embodied learning in teacher education: Investigating student-teachers' experiences in engaging with embodied cognition theories See

This study examines how integrating perceptual, sensorimotor, and reflective processes supports the learning of enactive cognition theory, demonstrating how student-teachers develop competencies for engaging with theory through lived, embodied experiences. We employed between-methods data triangulation, combining th...

A global overview of anatomical science education and its present and future role in biomedical curricula See

The four main anatomical sciences, gross anatomy, histology, neuroanatomy, and embryology, are fundamental subjects for most health professionals and biomedical students. Usually taught as part of preclinical basic science training, the anatomical sciences provide a structural understanding of human o...

An Effective Technique of Zero-Day Attack Detection in the Internet of Things Network Based on the Conventional Spike Neural Network Learning Method See

The fast evolution of cyberattacks in the Internet of Things (IoT) area, presents new security challenges concerning Zero Day (ZD) attacks, due to the growth of both numbers and the diversity of new cyberattacks. Furthermore, Intrusion Detection System (IDSs) relying on a dataset o...

Optimization of Curing Temperature for Epoxy/SiO2/Glass Fiber Composite: Dual Enhancement of Mechanical Strength and Thermal Stability for Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels See

The development of advanced composite materials for thin-walled pressure vessels demands a balance between mechanical strength and thermal insulation. In this study, a novel three-phase composite system comprising epoxy resin, silica (SiO2) micro-particles, and glass fiber reinforcement was fabricated ...
