When Visuals Meet People with Disabilities: How Destination Image Featuring Disability Drives Travel Intention?

This research investigates how featuring people with disabilities in tourism destination images on social media shapes viewers’ travel intention. Guided by warm glow theory, a mixed-methods approach was employed, comprising a field study, semi-structured interviews, and five onli...

A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...

Aorto‐Ostial Lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Clinical Characteristics, Predictors and Clinical Outcomes

ABSTRACT Background Aorto‐ostial coronary lesions represent a high‐risk subset of coronary disease because of fibrocalcific disease, elastic recoil, and difficulty achieving precise stent positioning. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of these lesions may therefore be asso...

Rb-Sr and U-Pb geochronology of neoblasts and porphyroclasts constrain movements along reactivated segments of the Outer Hebrides Fault Zone, NW Scotland

The crustal-scale Outer Hebrides Fault Zone (OHFZ) (NW Scotland) was initiated as a Stenian-Tonian (1040-950 Ma) ductile thrust, as determined by published U-Pb dating of syn-kinematic apatite. Thrust-related mylonites were then reactivated to form phyllonite belts during success...

Association of Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha with Periodontitis Patients in North Indian Population

Abstract Background: Periodontitis is a chronic multifactorial disease influenced by genetic susceptibility. Identifying genetic markers may facilitate early detection and improved risk assessment. Aim: To evaluate the association between tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene...

Rethinking Emissions Trading: State Rescaling and the Administrative Foundations of Tokyo’s Cap-and-Trade System

As cities assume growing responsibility for climate mitigation, an important question is whether urban carbon markets can serve as effective instruments of decarbonisation. While emissions trading research has focused primarily on emissions outcomes, less attention has been paid...

A systematic review of school-based mental health and wellbeing interventions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Australia (2015–2024)

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people’s wellbeing is grounded in culture, identity, and connection to community and Country. Schools offer unique opportunities to support wellbeing through culturally safe environments, trusted relationships, and community partnership...

Ferroresonance in power systems: A structured technical review and mitigation strategies

Ferroresonance is a complex and potentially destructive phenomenon that poses significant risks to the reliability and stability of power distribution systems. Although incidents have been documented for more than a century, the underlying mechanisms and effective countermeasures...

Co-designing the ConnectUp online platform to facilitate social connection, physical health and mental wellbeing in people with disabilities and carers

Introduction A mobile application and online platform ConnectUp supports people with disabilities (PwD) and carers to socially connect for physical activity. The platform will be optimised, implemented and evaluated between 2025 and 2027 aiming to integrate social connection, phy...

Building a Physics-Aware AI Ecosystem for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials

Abstract Hydrogen storage remains a central bottleneck for scalable hydrogen energy systems due to the multiscale and coupled nature of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructural evolution of hydrogen storage materials (HSMs). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has acce...

A Survey of Causal Learning in Graph-Based Recommender Systems

Graph-based recommender systems (GBRs) have achieved remarkable success by leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to model complex user-item interactions and structural relationships. However, they still face major challenges in real-world environments, including out-of-distribu...

Argus: A Sparse-Label Machine-Learning Workflow for Passive DAS Seismic Catalogue Expansion in CO2 Storage Monitoring—Application to the CO2CRC Otway Stage 4 Dataset

Passive distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is an attractive tool for monitoring geological CO2 storage, but its dense, continuous recordings create a data-volume problem: a multi-month, multi-well archive yields enormous numbers of detector triggers, of which confirmed seismic ev...

Intent vs. implementation: the challenge of inclusive playspaces in Australian local government

Background Children with disabilities have been found to encounter significant barriers to meaningful access to public playspaces, resulting in unequal play opportunities. This inequity can profoundly affect child development, health and well-being. In the Australian context, loc...

Exploration of the relationships between health literacy and experience of care integration in parents of children with special healthcare needs: a cross-sectional study

This study sought to identify health literacy profiles of Australian parents of children with special health care needs (SHCN), and explore the relationships between health literacy, experiences of health care integration, and parent stress. A cross-sectional study design was use...

Micro to nano-scale insights into a passive biomineralization pathway for developing a gate-to-gate carbon-negative bio-hybrid composite from lithium slag

Abstract The urgent need to decarbonize concrete is hindered by the scarcity of conventional supplementary cementitious materials. Here, we report a novel, passive biomineralization pathway to transform lithium slag into a functional carbon‑negative bio‑hybrid composite for susta...

Care, competence, or control? The evolution of parental supervision tools on social media platforms: A cross-platform comparison

Interaction with social media constitutes a significant part of children’s online experiences, with the potential for both positive and negative experiences. Social media platforms provide parental “supervision tools” as a mechanism for balancing children’s autonomy with safeguar...

Characterising the Beyond 50 Cohort: Preliminary Exploration of Physical and Psychosocial Health Factors and Substance Use Among a Cohort of Community Dwelling Adults Aged 50–70 Years

ABSTRACT Introduction Older adults exhibit unique risks associated with poor mental health and substance use. The Beyond 50 study is a longitudinal cohort investigating the determinants of healthy ageing, including relationships between physical and psychosocial health and substa...

Charge‐Redistribution‐Driven Dual‐Single‐Atom Catalysts on MXene for Hydrogen Evolution

ABSTRACT The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) exhibits pH‐ and electrolyte‐dependent pathways, imposing intrinsic challenges on the development of catalysts that operate efficiently across wide pH conditions and in seawater electrolysis. Here, we report a dual‐single‐atom cataly...
