Characterising the performance benefits of a 1/7th scale morphing rotor blade See

Rotary-wing aircrafts serve as indispensable components in the advancement of aviation, valued for their ability to operate in diverse and challenging environments without the need for conventional runways. This versatility makes them ideal for applications such as environmental conservation, precisio...

Causes of evolutionary divergence in prostate cancer See

Cancer progression involves the sequential accumulation of genetic alterations that cumulatively shape the tumour phenotype. In prostate cancer, tumours can follow divergent evolutionary trajectories that lead to distinct subtypes, but the causes of this divergence remain unclear. While causal inferen...

Designing an optimised hinged Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) system for remote localised defect monitoring in tank floors and pipelines See

A significant demand exists for magnetic flux leakage (MFL) systems designed for permanent installation in difficult-to-access areas, such as pipe elbows, where localised corrosion occurrences are prevalent. These systems enable continuous and long-term remote monitoring. Designing a magnetic circuit ...

Search for dark matter produced in association with a pair of bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV See

A search for dark matter (DM) particles produced in association with bottom quarks is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb⁻¹. The search is performe...

The Use of Machine Learning In Assessing Future Sustainability of Newly Developed Solar Thermal Systems See

An artificial neural network (ANN) model developed in MATLAB was used to predict the environmental performance of an innovative solar thermal system, ASTEP (Application of Solar Energy to Industrial Processes) over a 30-year period. The system was applied to the industrial processes of&...

Advancing Sustainability through Varied Scenarios of a Residential Building in Europe: A Case Study See

This study evaluates the environmental and economic performance of the "ESTIA of Athens" residential building considering its energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It also explores the potential for improvements in these areas. The European Union's strategy to reduce...
