This study presents a comparative analysis of post-earthquake recovery governance in Türkiye and Japan, focusing on the 1999 Kocaeli, 2011 Tōhoku, and 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Employing qualitative document analysis and cross-case timeline mapping, it e…

This study presents a Hybrid Digital-Physical Risk Management Framework designed to enhance urban climate resilience through the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies. By combining real-time IoT sensor networks, AI-based predictive analytics, and blockchain…

This study offers a comparative analysis of construction risk management practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and Türkiye, focusing on regulatory frameworks, technological integration, and practical methodologies. The UK, utilizing the Construction (Design and…

A universally applicable “optimal photobioreactor” design has yet to be established, as the success of such systems varies depending on the algal species used, environmental conditions, and intended applications. Meanwhile, the accelerating pace of climate cha…

Heritage restoration projects face numerous challenges, including the preservation of historical accuracy, effective stakeholder collaboration, and maintaining transparent records of interventions. This paper proposes a theoretical framework that integrates Bu…

This study aims to evaluate fire safety and escape route design in student dormitories. Ismail Necati Efendi KYK Dormitory and Hubbi Hatun Dormitory in Karabük province were comparatively examined in terms of space organization, user density, number and placem…

This paper explores the transformative role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in enhancing stakeholder engagement in transportation infrastructure projects. Drawing on literature, real-world case studies, and survey results from 32 stakeholders, the rese…

Heritage buildings are valuable cultural and historical assets that create tangible connection to our past and provide many social and economic benefits. These buildings are often threatened by various environmental and human factors, which impose the need for…

This study investigates the return on investment (ROI) of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry and addresses common barriers to its adoption such as high start-up costs and lack of familiarity with the technology. Despite its prove…

The emergence of Open Finance is reshaping the global financial landscape by enabling greater data accessibility, interoperability, and innovation. However, this expanded connectivity introduces new layers of regulatory complexity, raising urgent concerns rega…

Accurate and transparent blood glucose forecasting is crucial for effective diabetes management. This paper presents an interpretable deep learning (DL) framework based on multi-task learning (MTL) for forecasting glucose levels at multiple prediction horizons…

Healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) are among the most significant drivers of financial inefficiency in healthcare systems worldwide, with estimates suggesting they contribute to as much as 10% of total healthcare expenditures. In the United States, these…

The rapid growth of city populations and the increasing complexity of managing city infrastructure have led to the emergence of smart cities, which rely on advanced technologies to optimise urban services. However, one of the key challenges facing smart cities…

Market democratization through conversational AI represents a critical frontier in financial technology, yet cryptocurrency analysis remains dominated by institutional players with sophisticated toolchains. We introduce AICrypto-Assistant, the first open-sourc…

This paper explores the role of archival study in exploring site integrity within the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) framework, using the case of Islamic heritage sites in Java, Indonesia. In contexts where material traces have been lost or obscured, archival …

With the help of ability to imitate the biological nervous system, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) architectures have become popular recently. In order to benefit at the maximum level from the low power consumption, event-based structure and parallelization fea…

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely adopted for sustainable energy production; however, physical defects such as glass breakage significantly reduce panel efficiency and system output. In this study, a real-world case analysis was conducted on a 1003 kW…

This study presents a comparative evaluation of five widely adopted blockchain consensus algorithms—Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT), and Proof of Authority (PoA)—based on en…

Microalgae are recognized as environmentally sustainable and biologically renewable resources for the production of high-value products such as biomass, biofuels, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. However, their large-scale cultivation is highly sensit…

Predictive maintenance (PdM) enhances industrial operational efficiency by facilitating timely detection of equipment failures using machine learning models developed from historical maintenance data.  Real-world industrial datasets frequently exhibit signific…
