Zinc-Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) batteries have garnered significant interest due to their high energy density, low cost and low toxicity. Crystalline MnO₂ has shown structural transformations during the intercalation and deintercalation of Zn, which influences the performance of the battery. Recent ...

In the context of global energy transition and net-zero emission goals, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) technology has emerged as a core solution for next-generation low-carbon energy conversion systems. However, the combustion characteristics of fuel/oxidizer in sCO₂ environments remain underexpl...

Path planning in ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) must simultaneously optimise coverage integrity and motion efficiency under complex geometric constraints. However, traditional methods primarily focus on shortest-path computation, which struggles to adapt to complex topologies, particularly in inspection&#x...

In the framework of the TwinForHope capacity building, the University of Birmingham (UoB) twined and stood with their counterparts to support Ukraine’s Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (IFNUL) and co-organised a workshop to strengthen the resilience of the war-torn country. The w...

In our current turbulent social climate, with climate change, wars, political upheaval, and migration, social problems become central issues for many of clients. This theoretical paper offers a method of understanding art in art therapy through social theories providing four inherent mechani...

Antisocial behaviours have escalated to the cyberspace. Yet, the views on identification, mitigation and interventions relevant to minimising such behaviours lack consensus. Also, there are a multitude of antisocial behaviours studied in various online settings but not with clear demarcations bet...

This paper examines the current weight-centric approach to the promotion and practice of physical activity for health. We argue that examining the assumptions and belief systems that drive physical activity promotion may provide a foundation for considering and pursuing appropriate forms of&...

A search is performed for a heavy scalar resonance X decaying to a Higgs boson (H) and a Higgs-like scalar boson (Y) in the two bottom quark (H → bb̅) and four quark (Y → VV → 4q) final state, where V denotes a W or Z boson. Masses of the X&#...

A search is presented for the production of two additional Higgs bosons from an off-shell boson, where both additional particles decay to 𝜏 lepton pairs. The search is performed with a data sample collected with the CMS detector from proton-proton collisions at the LHC ...
