The results of a model-independent search for the pair production of new bosons within a mass range of 0.21 < m < 60 GeV, are presented. This study utilizes events with a four-muon final state. We use two data sets, comprising 41.5 fb⁻¹ and 59.7 fb⁻¹ of pr...

The response time of grid-forming (GFM) converters under grid disturbances is a critical metric that reflects how fast GFM capabilities can be delivered. In this letter, the analytical expression for the response time under voltage sags is derived using the geometric singular perturbati...

Dynamic and uncertain environments pose major challenges for multi-agent autonomous systems, particularly in achieving robust simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and efficient knowledge sharing across robots. Conventional data-driven methods often overlook underlying causal structures, resulting in spurious...

Traffic sign recognition is critical for intelligent transportation systems and autonomous driving. Conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) typically utilize the ReLU activation function for its computational efficiency; however, alternative activation functions can improve computing effectiveness capacity ...

At the DRS conversation held on June 24, 2024, in Boston, researchers from Brunel University engaged in a discourse with ten audience members from diverse global backgrounds on the issue of user stigma in assistive product design. The purpose of this conversation was to...

This study used multiple methods to investigate the stigma experienced by visually impaired people (VIP) when using a camera-based assistive mobile application. Initial investigations, including semi-structured interviews with VIP and a formalised expert conversation with academics and designers, highlight...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly positioned as a transformative tool in agriculture, yet existing solutions primarily cater to large-scale farms in the Global North, often overlooking the socio-cultural and infrastructural realities of smallholder farmers in Africa. This workshop interrogates&#...

Background: Pain is a significant risk factor for depression among older adults. While prior studies suggest that internet media may improve mental well-being, it remains unclear whether such media can reduce pain-related depression. Objectives: This five-year longitudinal st...

In this paper, we propose a general digital twin edge computing network comprising multiple vehicles and a server. Each vehicle generates multiple computing tasks within a time slot, leading to queuing challenges when offloading tasks to the server. The study investigates task offloadin...
