Procedural Content Generation in Mirror’s Edge using Markov Chains
(2024)This research presents a novel map generation system for a parkour-based game, called Mirror’s Edge, that operates outside the constraints of a grid, allowing for more organic level design. While the system enables flexible ... -
Identifying Xanthomonas recruitment genes in the soil-borne legacy
(2024)The plant microbiome can help the plant mitigate biotic stress. Hpa associated microbiota (HAM) are beneficial bacteria for which it is proven that Arabidopsis thaliana can actively recruit them in response to infection ... -
A Multifocal Approach: Toward the Production of Complement-activating MMN Patient-derived Anti-GM1 Antibodies
(2024)Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN) is a rare, chronic, primarily inflammatory complement-mediated polyneuropathy. It is characterized by progressive distal limb weakness. The exact pathophysiology of MMN remains unknown, ... -
Investigating climate change impacts in mountainous regions on the local level using a hybrid data approach - A case study of Neustift im Stubaital, Tyrol, Austria
(2024)Mountains are among the most vulnerable to climate change. Few efforts have focused on developing concrete and transferable procedures for optimizing the complementarity of different data sources, although the value of ... -
The Significance of Mate Choice: Exploring its Role in Captive Animal Welfare
(2024)The ability to express normal behavior is crucial for animal welfare. While behaviors such as foraging are often recognized as critical to animal welfare, reproductive behaviors – including mate choice – are generally ... -
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Online Learning Platforms Using Embedded Experiments in Real-World Settings
(2024)As online learning platforms become increasingly integrated in educa tion, there is a growing need for scalable methods to evaluate their effective ness in fostering learning. Traditional evaluation methods, such as pre-post ... -
Risk-Averse Predictive Maintenance Scheduling with Distributional Reinforcement Learning using Data-Driven Probabilistic Prognostics
(2024)Maintenance scheduling for complex industrial systems, such as turbo jet engines, is critical for ensuring operational efficiency and safety. While data-driven prognostics have shown potential for improving predictive ... -

(2024)This study investigates river morphology dynamics and bank erosion along the floodplain of the Buëch River in the Hautes-Alpes province of south-eastern France using multi-temporal images acquired from Unmanned Airborne ... -
Extraterrestrial Mass Wasting: Comparing Landslides Across the Solar System
(2024)In this review, mass wasting processes on rocky celestial bodies in our Solar System are investigated. Their occurance is explored on the selected moons, planets, asteroids and comets: the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Ceres, Vesta, ... -
Patients’ experiences and needs on the pharmacotherapeutic care during admission and transmural care after hospital discharge: A qualitative research.
(2024)Background: Patients with polypharmacy have an increased risk of medication related hospital admissions. These admissions have a potential preventability. Studies regarding interventions to improve the transitional ... -
Computational analysis of water shortage mitigation measures in the IJsselmeer region
(2024)The increased frequency of droughts due to climate change has prompted national initiatives in the Netherlands to enhance resilience against water-related challenges, with the IJsselmeer region being crucial. To address ... -
