Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Control in Smart Cities
Smart cities leverage innovative technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) , to enhance residents’ quality of life. UAV infrastructure in smart cities provides a cost-effective and efficient means of data collection, monitoring, surveillance, and infrastructure assessment. They contribute to better urban planning, resource management, emergency response, public safety, and sustainable development, ultimately improving the quality of life for city residents.

Thermoelectric Materials
Solid-state energy conversion has been established as one of the most promising solutions to address the issues related to conventional energy generation. Thermoelectric materials allow direct energy conversion without moving parts and being deprived of greenhouse gases emission, employing lightweight and quiet devices.

Radiomic and Radiogenomic Pipelines
Advances in artificial intelligence have greatly impacted the field of medical imaging and vastly improved the development of computational algorithms for data analysis. In the field of pediatric neuro-oncology, radiomics, the process of obtaining high-dimensional data from radiographic images, has been recently utilized in applications including survival prognostication, molecular classification, and tumor type classification. Similarly, radiogenomics, or the integration of radiomic and genomic data, has allowed for building comprehensive computational models to better understand disease etiology.

Hydraulic Accumulators in Hydraulic Systems
Electric motors used in industrial machines and devices, as well as internal combustion engines (ICE) used in vehicles, mobile machines, and marine devices, participate in the transformation of mechanical power into hydraulic power. In power transmission, hydraulic drive systems have a high power density. Hydraulic pumps, as energy sources in hydraulic drive systems, are widely used due to their high working pressure and high flow rate. The hydraulic accumulator (HA) is a device that is used to store energy in the hydraulic system in the form of pressure energy.

Smart Asphalt Mixtures
A smart asphalt mixture holds new capabilities different from the original ones or can react to a stimulus. These capabilities can be categorized based on smartness or function: smartness, mechanical, electrical, optical, energy harvesting, electromagnetic wave/radiation shielding/absorbing, and water related.

Smart City Infrastructure Resilience
A smart city is a concept of city operation that uses digital, information and communication technologies in order to make more efficient use of its infrastructure, reduce resource consumption and overall costs, and fulfil the goals of industries. However, to achieve such goals, a high level of security and protection of key infrastructures, which are designated as critical, is necessary. The research on smart cities is primarily focused on the area of applicability of information and communication technologies. However, in the context of a multidisciplinary approach, it is also necessary to pay attention to the resilience and converged security of individual infrastructures. Converged security represents a particular security type based on a selected spectrum of certain convergent security types of, assuming the creation of a complementary whole. Considering the outputs of the analysis of security breaches manifestations, this kind of security makes it possible to detect emerging security breaches earlier (still in the symptom stage), thus providing a more efficient and targeted solution suitable for building smart city infrastructure.

Business Models Facilitate Strategic Transformation in Construction Firms
A business model represents an organisation’s value logic with a value proposition as the central dimension. The construction industry has been categorised as fragmented, slow to move and destructively competitive, idealising only cost-based perceptions of performance; however, the trends indicate a paradigm shift in the sector emphasising value-based perspectives such as early engagement, design for manufacture and assembly, and a lifecycle approach by promoting a conscious discourse on business model innovation.

Subsea Power Cable Health Management
Subsea power cables are critical assets for electrical transmission and distribution networks, and highly relevant to regional, national, and international energy security and decarbonization given the growth in offshore renewable energy generation. Existing condition monitoring techniques are restricted to highly constrained online monitoring systems that only prioritize internal failure modes, representing only 30% of cable failure mechanisms, and has limited capacity to provide precursor indicators of such failures or damages.

Power Line Communication Technology
Power line communication (PLC) is a technology that exploits existing electrical transmission and distribution networks as guiding structures for electromagnetic signal propagation. This facilitates low-rate data transmission for signaling and control operations. As the demand in terms of data rate has greatly increased, the attention paid to broadband PLC (BPLC) has also greatly increased. This concept also extended to railways as broadband traction power line communication (BTPLC), aiming to offer railway operators an alternative data network in areas where other technologies are lacking.
