High-level cognitive skills are often demonstrated at the performance level. For this reason, performance assessment has become an important element of educational assessment. One of the biggest problems in open-ended questions...
The new type of coronaviruses (COVID-19) crisis has had a devastating impact across the world. Public administration discipline addresses emergency crisis management in various ways and dimensions. This article seeks answers to...
AbstractGiven that much of water resource pollution is behavioural in nature, understanding pro-environmental behaviour as well as the complex determinants of such behaviours is key to designing...

The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a recently introduced information and
communication technology (ICT) framework promising for extending the human
connectivity to the entire universe, which itself can be regarded as a...
It is widely established that certain psychoactive substances (e.g., alcohol, cocaine) affect brain reward pathways including dopamine, opioid, and glutamatergic neurochemical systems (Kalivas & Volkow, 2005). These biological...
We consider a microfluidic molecular communication (MC) system, where the concentration-encoded molecular messages are transported via fluid flow-induced convection and diffusion, and detected by a surface-based MC receiver with...
Molecular Communication (MC) is a bio-inspired communication technique that uses molecules as a method of information transfer among nanoscale devices. MC receiver is an essential component having profound impact on the...
The spinning cloth disc reactor (SCDR) is an innovative enzymatic reaction intensification technology. The SCDR uses centrifugal forces to allow the spread of thin film across the spinning disc which has a cloth with immobilized...

Spatial correlation between densely deployed sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) can be exploited to reduce the power consumption through a proper source coding mechanism such as distributed source coding (DSC). In...
Abstract: Bio-inspired molecular communications (MC), where molecules are used to transfer information, is the most promising technique to realise the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT), thanks to its inherent biocompatibility...
