The global community faces critical energy and environmental challenges, necessitating innovative solutions to ensure a sustainable future.In response to these challenges, this paper explores the potential of integrating microalgal biotechnology with renewable energy systems within buildings. This innovative approach could transform architecture into a "bio-factory" capable of producing food, energy, and other valuable products.The success of this concept hinges on developing highly efficient photobioreactors specifically designed for building integration. Optimizing these systems requires careful consideration of design parameters, growth rate models, and factors influencing performance within diverse urban environments.Furthermore, integrating these systems must prioritize productivity and aesthetics to promote urban self-sufficiency and a sustainable built environment. By utilizing microalgae and renewable energy sources, building-integrated photobioreactors offer a promising solution for reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints in modern buildings.

Background: Facial prosthetics are an important means to rehabilitate patients with congenital or acquired facial defects. However, with a time-consuming manual workflow and workforce shortage, access to facial prosthetics is limited in Australia and worldwide, especially for rural and remote patients. Optical 3D scanning has been increasingly integrated in digitizing data.

Background: A dental hygienist is an indispensable auxiliary staff in stomatology who assists people in achieving an optimum level of oral health. Despite advancements in dental medical services, our country has not yet established the position of dental hygienists. The current imbalance in the allocation of dental human resources has created a significant disparity between the demand for and supply of dental auxiliaries.

This work deals with a parametric linear interpolation between an autonomous FitzHugh-Nagumo model and a nonautonomous skewed problem with the same fundamental structure. This paradigmatic example allows us to construct a family of nonautonomous dynamical systems with an attracting integral manifold and a hyperbolic repelling trajectory located within the nonautonomous set enclosed by the integral manifold. Upon the variation of the parameter the integral manifold collapses, the hyperbolic repelling solution disappears and a unique globally attracting hyperbolic solution arises in what could be considered yet another pattern of nonautonomous Hopf bifurcation.

Gamma-ray coded-aperture imaging technology has important applications in the fields of nuclear security, isolated source detection, and the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. However, artifacts can reduce the quality of reconstructed images and affect the identification of the intensity and location of radioactive sources. In this paper, a gamma-ray coded-aperture imaging method based on primitive and reversed coded functions (PRCF) was proposed to reduce imaging artifacts.
