EDB-HSTEU-Net : Earthquake-damaged building detection using a novel hybrid swin transformer efficient U-Net (HSTEU-Net) and transfer learning techniques from post-event VHR remote sensing data

Rapid and accurate generation of building damage maps (BDMs) following earthquakes is crucial for effective disaster response and rescue operations. With the increasing availability of optical very high-resolution remote sensing (OVHR-RS) images, two considerable deep learning challenges arise: (1) developing robust models for data-rich regions and (2) adapting pre-trained models for areas with li

Lab-scale versus industrial-scale thermal runaway tests for lithium-ion battery cells

Lithium-ion battery safety is a topic of large importance, and testing is associated with large costs. Safety evaluation is therefore needed also at an early stage in cell design and development, in order to evaluate potential short-comings or to screen large platforms of materials and cells. Previous thermal runaway tests on lab-scale cells have, however, indicated differences in heat release and

Sustainable Migration: EU Citizenship as the Prototype of Sustainable Migration

The establishment of the EU citizenship has challenged the way in which citizenship has been understood and theorised. After offering a brief overview of different theoretical accounts on EU citizenship, this encyclopedia entry suggests that it can be understood as a key status for the purposes of sustainable migration. EU citizenship is not only a status which connects the nationals of the Member

Sustainable Migration Haunting European Law

As part of an edited collection published by the Lund University, Agenda 2030 Graduate School, this essay presents a theoretical reflection on sustainability and EU migration law. Drawing on Derrida and his figure of the specter figure of the specter as a thing that shapes the present as permeated by an elsewhere, I suggest that sustainable migration could be understood as a specter haunting EU mi

To address the critical need for efficient biogas upgrading, this study systematically investigates the continuous absorption of CO2 and H2S from biogas using a choline chloride-monoethanolamine deep eutectic solvent (ChCl-MEA DES). Experiments were conducted in a continuous flow reactor under two scenarios: single-component absorption and simultaneous absorption of CO2 and H2S. The influence of k

In vivo composition of the mitochondrial nucleoid in mice

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is compacted into dynamic structures called mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids), with the mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) as the core packaging protein. We generated bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice expressing FLAG-tagged TFAM protein (Tfam-FLAGBAC mice) to investigate the mt-nucleoid composition in vivo. Importantly, we show that the T

Interactions between climate warming and management actions determining bird community change in protected areas

Biodiversity is increasingly negatively affected by climate warming, making this issue a major conservation concern. Many bird species respond to warming temperatures by shifting distribution ranges, but these shifts often lag behind temperature changes. Protected areas (PAs) can facilitate such shifts, but a growing body of literature suggests that not all PAs facilitate climate warming responses
