Green indoor optical wireless communication systems: Pathway towards pervasive deployment

Digital Communications and Networks, 2021
The Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) offers the high capacity of optical fiber communication with the flexibility of wireless communication. Since it works in the optical region of the ElectroMagnetic (EM) spectrum, it guarantees safety and security ...

Effect of wall inclination on the dynamic behaviour of an oscillating water column system [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020
The Oscillating Water Column device (OWC) is one of the most used Wave Energy Converters (WECs) for wave energy harvesting. It consists essentially of two parts: the pneumatic chamber made of concrete and the bidirectional turbine linked to a generator ...

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Multiuser Beam Steering OWC System Based on NOMA

2023 23rd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), 2023
In this paper, we propose applying Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology in a multiuser beam steering OWC system. We study the performance of the NOMA-based multiuser beam steering system in terms of the achievable rate and Bit Error Rate (BER).

Understanding cell‐penetrating peptide mechanisms using computational electrophysiology simulations

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter cells without inducing cytotoxicity and can be coupled with cargo molecules to be used to deliver drugs, DNA, or nanoparticles into cells. The peptide‐membrane interactions driving the internalization mechanism are not completely understood. In this study, we introduce Computational Electrophysiology (

Experimental Investigation of the Hydrodynamic Performance of Land-Fixed Nearshore and Onshore Oscillating Water Column Systems with a Thick Front Wall

Energies, 2022
Most experimental research on land-fixed Oscillating Water Column (OWC) systems assume that the OWC-water wave interaction happens with waves that propagate normally towards the device.

European Ports as Energy Hubs: A Sustainability Index to Assess Territorial Development

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 3711-3739, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The capacity of ports to act as energy hubs is increasingly relevant in light of sustainability challenges and global crises like the Ukraine conflict, the COVID‐19 pandemic and energy scarcity. Numerous international and national initiatives are shaping the future of port development to address environmental and economic concerns.

Wave Energy Conversion through Oscillating Water Columns: A Review

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
An oscillating water column (OWC) is designed for the extraction and conversion of wave energy into usable electrical power, rather than being a standalone renewable energy source.

Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image‐based bio‐logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 272-290, February 2026.
Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...
