BSC-Based Digital Transformation Strategy Selection and Sensitivity Analysis
The digital transformation era is ushering in a revolution in how businesses operate, communicate, and compete. This seismic shift is driven by technological advancements, changing customer expectations, and the need for greater efficiency and agility. In 1992, David Norton and Robert Kaplan introduced the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a component of a strategic project management framework. The Kaplan–Norton BSC model emphasizes four well-rounded perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth.

Structural Health Monitoring System Based on Deep Learning
Concrete stands as the most widely used construction material globally due to its versatility, encompassing applications ranging from pavement, multifloor structures, and bridges to dams. However, these concrete structures endure structural stress and require close monitoring to prevent accidents and ensure sustainability throughout their complete life cycle. Artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision (CV) have demonstrated considerable potential in diverse applications within construction engineering, including structural health monitoring (SHM) and inspection processes such as crack and damage detection, as well as rebar exposure. While it is undeniable that CV and deep learning models are transforming the construction industry by offering robust solutions for complex scenarios, there remain numerous challenges pertinent to their applications that require attention.

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy for Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) where an electrochemical reaction at a microelectrode is used to generate information about an electrochemically (in)active surface in its immediate vicinity. Careful preparation and knowledge of the microelectrode response as well as the application of a suitable method enable the study of spatially resolved electrochemical kinetics or the electrocatalytic activity of any structure or material. In addition to a wide range of other applications, the method has become particularly well established in the research field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
