Friction and wear are important phenomena occurring in all devices with moving parts. While their origin and the way they evolve over time are not fully understood, they are both intimately linked to surface roughness. Guided by pin-on-disc experiments, we ...
This paper investigates the role of industrial heritage during mega-events in a Chinese context. By adopting a comparative analysis of the use of industrial heritage in a few mega-events in China, the paper aims to summarize a framework of the state-led us ...
Entrepreneurship is a highly contextualized process. Yet, the vast majority of entrepreneurship research has focused on Western contexts, yielding a skewed picture of global entrepreneurial behavior. Moreover, theories of mainstream psychology explaining t ...
Research indicates that makerspaces equip students with the practical skills needed to build their own projects and thrive in the twenty-first-century workforce. While the appeal of makerspaces lies in their spirit of tinkering and community-driven ethos, ...
It is well known that helical magnetic fields undergo a so-called inverse cascade by which their correlation length grows due to the conservation of magnetic helicity in classical ideal magnetohydro-dynamics (MHD). At high energies above approximately 10 M ...
Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...
Signal recovery under generative neural network priors has emerged as a promising direction in statistical inference and computational imaging. Theoretical analysis of reconstruction algorithms under generative priors is, however, challenging. For generati ...
This dissertation aims to demonstrate the development, meaning and significance of cultural infrastructure in the cities of Skopje, Belgrade and Sarajevo (1945-1991). In the historic context, culture became the fundamental critical tool with which to yield ...
Digitization has been recognized as effective means to safeguard cultural heritage,simultaneously producing a significant body of data resources within the GLAM sector. Digital curatorial innovations in the museums have created tools to enhance accessibili ...
Many rivers in the Balkan Peninsula are recognised at the European level for the biodiversity they host and their strong cultural heritage. However, they are experiencing significant anthropogenic changes, where their biodiversity and cultural values are o ...
