European food supply chains have seen structural changes regarding cost, energy, labour, and sustainability regulations. This has forced food processors to reassess the drivers of logistics outsourcing and rethink their strategies. In this exploratory multiple-case study, we investigated six large food …

Efficient hydrogen (H2) storage remains a major challenge for clean energy applications. This study presents an AI-driven methodology to optimize H2 storage in porous carbon adsorbents. A comprehensive dataset of 917 literature-derived entries was used to develop two machine learning models: Random Forest …

Early identification of the palliative phase in patients with COPD and heart failure remains difficult, often delaying needed care. Since most patients are cared for at home, timely recognition in primary care is crucial. However, screening tools are rarely used, and identification relies on professional …

Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a major problem and a leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide, with its burden expected to increase further. Disability represents a particularly important outcome in CNSLBP, as it is more strongly associated with reduced quality of life, work …

This research developed and validated a cost-effective proof-of-concept system to measure tyre forces and moments. The C 8k setup was calibrated and verified against a wheel force transducer, demonstrating accurate measurements of the wheel axis. Road tests at the RDW test centre captured both linear …

Information Problem Solving (IPS) competence is vital for academic success. However, higher education students often struggle to use digital information effectively, underscoring the need for instructional interventions. Evidence-based design principles for teaching and learning IPS can guide such instructional …
