Integrated FEA and Taguchi-based injection moulding optimisation of a glass fibre-reinforced nylon automotive bracket: a simulation-based study

This simulation based-study presents an integrated computational framework that links injection moulding process optimisation with the thermo-mechanical performance of a glass fibre-reinforced PA66 automotive throttle cable bracket. Unlike conventional approaches that optimise mo...

Quality of life and supportive care among informal caregivers of people with cancer during a critical illness in the ICU: A mixed methods systematic review

Objectives To synthesise the evidence on the experiences of HRQoL, psychological well-being, and supportive care needs among informal caregivers of patients with cancer in the ICU and the experiences of the MDT to deliver supportive care. Methods This mixed methods systematic rev...

p–LSGR: A lightweight post–hoc latent–space resampling framework for imbalanced and complex graph distributions

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are widely used across domains but remain sensitive to class imbalance, class overlap, and complex data distributions, limiting reliability in real-world settings. Existing imbalance-mitigation strategies provide only partial robustness, are often com...

The self-provisioned information system: how digital entrepreneurs assemble, and mis-assemble, business information infrastructure in the absence of formal library services

Business and finance librarianship provides entrepreneurs with curated collections, reference services, financial literacy instruction, and market intelligence. Yet most entrepreneurs in emerging economies operate where no such services exist, and how they meet their business inf...

Student paramedics' experiences of reflection: A systematic integrative literature review

Background Reflective practice is an essential skill to possess as a healthcare professional and is a fundamental part of all registered United Kingdom health professions, including paramedics. Whilst reflective practice has been studied in a variety of settings, little is known...

Transmaxxing , Identity, and Online Male Subcultures: Toward a Feminist Analysis

This paper examines transmaxxing, an emergent discourse within online male subcultures in which some men frame gender transition as a strategic response to perceived masculine failure and social marginalisation. Rather than being primarily associated with gender dysphoria, transm...

Twinned-magnesium metal negative electrodes enable reversible magnesium electrodeposition

Abstract The favourable thermodynamic properties of magnesium make it a promising negative electrode for rechargeable Mg-metal batteries. However, parasitic side reactions and uncontrolled deposition at the unstable electrode/electrolyte interface severely hinder reversible elect...

Polymer Composites for Additive Manufacturing: Processing, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

Additive manufacturing (AM) has moved beyond prototyping and now produces functional, load-bearing components [...]

Influence of CNT Reinforcement and Fiber Orientation on the Mechanical Performance of Woven Kevlar/Epoxy Composites

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely used as nanoscale reinforcements in polymer composites because of their high stiffness, high aspect ratio, and ability to enhance interfacial stress transfer. In woven Kevlar/epoxy composites, however, the mechanical benefit of CNT addition depe...

Living in Prison, Studying on Campus: Digital Challenges for Students in a UK Open Prison

This article examines the information behaviour of a group of students housed in an “open” prison in southern England and enabled to attend university during weekdays. This group faces unique challenges, unexplored in existing studies on incarcerated distance learners, as they ex...
