Towards Human‐Centered Intelligent Inhabitable Spaces: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review introduces Robot‐Rooms as a new category of architectural‐scale robots that do not operate within a space but actively form and reconfigure the space around their occupants. Drawing from robotics, HCI, architecture, and the arts, an interdisciplinary framework is proposed that maps the enabling technologies and integration challenges ...

Reasons for Indoor and Outdoor Tanning: Starting Points for Skin Cancer Prevention Based on a Nationwide Study

open access: yesCurrent Oncology
Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor for skin cancer. Nevertheless, many people tan in the sun and in tanning beds. The aim of this study was to explore the reasons behind these behaviors and to investigate whether the reasons ...

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

A Control Strategy With Hybrid Compressor Modeling for Electric Vehicle CO2 Heat Pump Systems

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid PSO‐BP compressor sub‐model is developed and embedded in a MATLAB/Simscape physical model of a transcritical CO2 heat pump system for electric vehicles. Based on this high‐fidelity platform, a phased variable‐PTC cooperative control strategy is proposed and evaluated.

Lacrimal caruncula thermography overestimates rectal temperature in horses: Influence of camera type and measurement distance

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal temperature (RT) is the gold standard for assessing body temperature in horses, but handling and welfare concerns limit its use. Thermography of the lacrimal caruncula (LC) has been proposed as a noncontact alternative, although its accuracy may be influenced by device characteristics and measurement distance.

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Laboratory, simulated‐use, and field evaluation of non‐insecticidal consumer products for indoor pest management: a freeze‐spray aerosol, light traps, and an ‘insect repellent’ lamp

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Control efficacy of three types of non‐insecticidal consumer products were examined in laboratory, simulated‐use, and field conditions. Freeze spray and ‘repellent lamp’ showed limited efficacy, whereas various results in attraction in light trap were reported.
