Under the background of deepening globalization and accelerating the reconstruction of international industrial competition patterns, international standards have become the core strategic resources for countries to enhance their technological competitiveness and master the dominance of industrial rules. As the world's largest manufacturing country and an important subject of technological inno... More >>

This study addresses the critical governance challenges facing Cyprus's national sports federations, where persistent issues of financial opacity, leadership entrenchment, and resistance to reform hinder organizational effectiveness. Despite adopting the Code of Good Governance in 2018, implementation remains inconsistent due to resource constraints, ambiguous regulations, and cultural barriers... More >>

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the development, industrial production, and operational deployment of electric buses in international transportation, with particular attention to the standardization of electric vehicle (EV) battery technologies through a modular rapid-replacement principle. The ongoing transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electrified transport ... More >>

This paper investigates the potential of a novel, infrastructure-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (IIPV/T) system for winter road maintenance, using the Samuel De Champlain Bridge in Montreal as a case study. Vertically mounted bifacial PVT panels are integrated into the bridge’s side barriers, serving a dual role as wind protection structures and clean energy generators. The captured solar ener...
