Flexible piezoresistive aerogels are promising for wearable electronics and sensing in complex environments, yet their practical application is often limited by structural collapse during compression and moisture-induced conductive instability. Herein, an ultralight hydrophobic CNF/MXene composite aerogel is&#x...

Material removal processes are industrially adopted to transform a given initial workpiece geometry into a final one with desired properties in terms of shape and accuracy. This paper analyses the modelling of the centerless grinding process as a direct mathematical transformation between&#x...

The destruction of cultural heritage through conflict and environmental degradation has created urgent needs for reliable digital reconstruction, yet current generative AI approaches often prioritise aesthetic plausibility over cultural authenticity, a risk exemplified by the loss of the Western Buddh...

Participatory design (PD) has been increasingly applied to support community-based sustainability initiatives, particularly in rural contexts where local knowledge and material constraints shape upcycling practices. However, limited access to design expertise may affect the long-term viability of such init...

As a result of increasing environmental, social and economic issues, integrating sustainable competencies into Engineering education has become a worldwide priority. In many developing nations, sustainability is still considered a peripheral issue in relation to an engineering program’s essential comp...

The sustaining bottom note of religion, spiritual and humanistic beliefs is set by the cultural tone. Older adults are likely to have matured in a spiritual/religious milieu and to display religious commitment. Their multidetermined religious and spiritual perspectives may influence a g...

Modern smart city services necessitate complex technological infrastructure with heterogeneous compute servers, networks, and communication protocols. However, there are many research issues in heterogeneous computing infrastructure for Intelligent transport systems (ITS) when using the services in the network....

Spirituality, religion, and meaning are human needs that are inscribed within international social work professional standards and ethical codes. Definitions used in the social work literature cover a complex spectrum resulting in a common, though fluid, understanding. Theories such as existentia...
