A Hybrid Fuzzy–Support Vector Machine Framework for Real‐Time Dust Detection and Thermal Mapping in Photovoltaic Panels

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid Fuzzy–SVM framework for real‐time dust detection and thermal mapping in PV panels. ABSTRACT Dust accumulation significantly degrades the energy output of photovoltaic (PV) panels, particularly in arid and semi‐arid regions. While existing studies have separately explored image‐based dust detection, environmental modeling, and machine learning (

SQI – Indice d’évaluation des talus rocheux [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this work, an empirical system was developed to obtain a quality index for rock slopes in road infrastructures, named Slope Quality Index (SQI), and it was applied to a set of real slopes. The SQI is supported in nine factors affecting slope stability

The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Application of the risk assessment system "Rockfall Hazard Rating System" in the EN353 in Idanha-a-Nova [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Atendendo às caraterísticas geológicas da Beira Baixa é comum o atravessamento de maciços graníticos por vias de comunicação. Observa-se nestes casos uma elevada diversidade de locais com potencial de risco de queda blocos.

Assessing the link between social capital and health outcomes in the Italian regions: An empirical analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract An extensive literature demonstrates a positive relationship between social capital and health. However, empirical analyses within the Italian context remain limited. This study contributes to the existing literature by expanding the empirical evidence on this topic for Italy, employing an ecological approach.

Revised classification of glaciofluvial landforms in the Finnish sector of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.
