Artificial sweeteners are non-nutritive compounds that have a profound sweetening effect with a negligible to zero calorific contribution. Global initiatives to reduce sugar consumption to tackle health conditions such as obesity have led to a significant increase in their consumption in rec...

Injection of fluid, such as liquid CO₂, into fractured porous matrix containing pre-existing cracks can lead to the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF) in the solid phase, causing leakage-induced dispersion of fluid into surrounding pore spaces from the crack edges. These coupled hy...

Designing sustainable aluminium alloys with superior mechanical performance requires effective microstructural control during solidification. In this study, a cross-over recycled wrought aluminium alloy system spanning the 1xxx–7xxx series was designed with maximum impurity tolerance. A grain refinement strateg...

Kuwait faces mounting challenges in municipal solid waste (MSW) management alongside continued dependence on fossil-fuel-based electricity generation. Per capita waste generation in Kuwait is approximately 1.7 kg/person/day, exceeding the global average of 0.74 kg/person/day, indicating substantial&#x...

The engine system requirements for different engine cycles significantly influence the design of the mixing head. A literature review of fuel-injection technology for hydrogen and methane is presented. The literature review aimed to answer proposed questions specific to the liquid rocket eng...

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping how students engage with learning both within and beyond traditional classroom settings. In a time when the development of transferable skills is essential for enabling students to thrive in varied and rapidly evolving environments, the ...

Background: The nuclear convergence hypothesis proposes that development and urbanisation lead to increasing proportions of nuclear families. We explore this hypothesis in Ghana by charting household living arrangements as captured in censuses and surveys. Objective: To classify household ...

Among humans, paternal investment has been shown to enhance both fertility and offspring survival. While psychological and ecological influences on human paternal investment are relatively well documented, cultural influences remain less well understood. It has been proposed that religion can be&...
