Waste-Derived and Supplementary Cementitious Materials as Low-Carbon Binders: Data-Driven Evaluation of Strength, Durability and Global Warming Potential

The concrete industry is a major source of global carbon emissions, largely due to Portland cement (OPC) production. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), many originating as industrial by-products or waste streams, can reduce these emissions while supporting material circ...

In Vivo Blood Kinetics and Transcript Integrity of Three mRNA–Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccines in Humans

Abstract mRNA–lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines are detectable in human blood after vaccination, but platform-specific differences in systemic persistence and transcript integrity remain poorly defined. We analyzed serial blood samples from 73 participants receiving Moderna mRNA-...

Are we in good shape? Patternmaking and garment shaping in women’s sports compression leggings

This study investigates the patternmaking methods used in women’s sports compression leggings available to the Australian consumer market. Eight pairs of leggings, marketed for Active or Recovery use, were analysed using visual and tactile methods commonly employed in fashion pra...

Shared Governance for Effective Clinical Education in Medical Radiation Science: A Narrative Review

ABSTRACT Medical radiation science (MRS) education operates within a rapidly evolving healthcare environment characterised by technological advancement, workforce pressures, and increasing regulatory oversight. Effective governance structures are therefore required to ensure that...

Energy-saving hydrogen production coupled with PET-derived ethylene glycol oxidation: Reaction mechanisms, catalyst design, and reactor engineering

Abstract The growing accumulation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste and the increasing demand for clean hydrogen call for integrated electrochemical strategies. Ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR), derived from PET hydrolysis, offers a thermodynamically favorable...

Harnessing business value from artificial intelligence through dynamic capabilities and sociotechnical microfoundations

Purpose Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to automate repetitive business processes, enhance employee capabilities and augment managerial decision-making across industries. However, many organisations struggle to translate AI initiatives into sustained strategic value. Thi...

Intermediality beyond synchronisation: Text as a compositional agent in electroacoustic audiovisual performance

Abstract This paper examines how text can operate as an intermedial compositional agent in electroacoustic audiovisual performance. Through a focused practice-based case study of a single performance – F2 – in which electroacoustic sound, procedural visuals and projected and spok...

B2B influencer marketing collaborations: A relational governance perspective

Influencer marketing has grown rapidly in business markets, yet existing research remains largely rooted in consumer contexts and organization-centric perspectives. Little is known about how B2B influencers perceive collaborations with companies. Addressing this gap, this study c...

Passive radiative cooling for vertical building facades: From fundamental constraints to practical strategies

Rising space-cooling demand driven by urbanisation and climate change has increased interest in passive alternatives to air conditioning. Passive radiative cooling (PRC) dissipates heat through the atmospheric window (8–13 μm) without energy input. However, research has largely f...

Two-dimensional GaOOH framework materials: Ultrathin GaOOH nanosheets coordinated with organic linkers

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted growing interest in applications as adsorbent due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and tunable properties. However, randomly stacked 2D structures often suffer from restricted reactant diffusion and limited access to active sites...

In-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function analysis of clay structural evolution during calcination

This study presents an in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis under controlled heating conditions of three raw clays, kaolinite-bearing mixed clay (NK), montmorillonite‑carbonate-rich (NM), and illite-bearing mixed clay (NI), fro...

Two‐Dimensional Framework Materials as Building Blocks for Next‐Generation Intelligent Biointerfaces

ABSTRACT The convergence of neural interfaces, wearable bioelectronics, and human‐machine interaction is driving intelligent biointerfaces capable of sensing and responding to neural, physiological, and biomechanical signals. Realizing this vision demands a substantial advance in...

Detecting Vulnerabilities in EOSIO Smart Contracts via Joint Static and Dynamic Feature Learning

This paper addresses the security challenges of EOSIO smart contracts, which are deployed in WebAssembly bytecode, frequently targeted by attacks, and inherently difficult to analyze. Existing approaches typically suffer limitations that either rely on symbolic execution with han...

Working time, gender and health in the Australian construction industry

This paper is focused on relationships between working time, health and gender equality in the Australian construction industry. The structural drivers of working time arrangements in major construction projects are examined, and a conceptual synthesis of Australian and internati...

Effects of MXD6 and MXD10 on the Toughness and Hydrogen Barrier Properties of PA6 / POE ‐ g ‐ MAH Blend for Type IV Hydrogen Storage Vessel Liners

ABSTRACT Type IV hydrogen storage vessel liners demand balanced hydrogen barrier, toughness, and hygroscopicity. Semi‐aromatic nylons poly(m‐xylylene adipamide) (MXD6) and poly(m‐xylylene sebacamide) (MXD10) were introduced into PA6/POE‐g‐MAH (80/20, S80E20) by melt‐blending, yie...

Impact of renewable biomass addition on carbon structure evolution during metallurgical cokemaking assessed by multi-scale spectroscopy

Partial substitution of metallurgical coal with renewable biomass may reduce fossil carbon input in cokemaking, but its influence on carbon ordering during pyrolysis remains unclear. Fixed 10 wt-% additions of microalgae (MA) and torrefied bamboo (TB) were blended with two Austra...
