Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Analysis of the suitability for ecotourism in Beira Baixa region using a spatial decision support system based on a geographical information system

open access: yesRegional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Ecotourism can contribute to the conservation of environmental values, as well as to the development of positive synergies between agents in the tourism sector, tourists and the local population. The growing interest in tourism offers with low environmental impact, which support the local economy, translates into a competitive advantage for ...

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

An Improved Fast Computational Method for Vibration Characteristic Analysis of Dry‐Type Iron Core Reactor

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural mechanics field simulation plays a critical role in the vibration characteristic analysis of electrical equipment. Existing structural field analysis of equipment based on numerical simulation faces challenges such as convergence difficulties and prolonged computational time, failing to meet the demand for real‐time prediction of ...

Unlocking citizen participation: Network characteristics, sense of power, and place attachment as key factors in regional settings

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...
