A comparative scoping review approach: identifying the intersection of carbon, biodiversity, and water offsetting
Environmental and climate policies, as well as the knowledge underpinning them, are often developed in isolation. This is evident in offsetting research and policy, which tend to address carbon, biodiversity, and water as separate issues. This paper presents the development of an adapted scoping…

Application of multiple parallel mineralization method to grow lettuce, Swiss chard, and peppers in a simplified deep flow technique hydroponic system
Organic fertilizers are not widely used in hydroponics due to an absence of mineralizing microbes that process organic inputs into plant available forms. The Multiple Parallel Mineralization (MPM) method enables this microbial processing to occur in hydroponic systems. The objective of this method…

“A novel adaptive gesture recognition framework for bionic hands using Stacked Autoencoder (SAE), Adaptive Bayesian Feature Selection (ABFS), MODWT, and Hybrid sEMG–MMG Sensor Modality”
For amputees and those who rely on prosthetic limbs, the dream of natural, intuitive movement is now within reach. This work present an intelligent bionic hand that doesn’t just follow commands—it learns, adapts, and responds in real time, almost like a natural extension of the body.By combining…

Redefining obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis: An attention augmented CNN-BiLSTM hybrid alternative to traditional PSG testing
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Despite its health risks, OSA often goes undiagnosed, as many individuals are unaware of the condition or misattribute its symptoms such as daytime fatigue or…

A critical appraisal tool for interdisciplinary study designs: Conceptual grounding and application in healthy ageing research
Interdisciplinary research often employs heterogeneous study designs that cannot be consistently addressed by existing quality appraisal frameworks. Established tools (CASP, JBI, EPHPP, STROBE) provide robust criteria, but no single framework adequately captures the methodological diversity typical…
