Purpose: This study aims to examine workplace bullying and psychosocial well-being among healthcare professionals working in crisis-affected organizations. It contributes to behavioral health scholarship by theorizing bullying as a chronic organizational stressor that is amplified under conditions o...

Visualizing the interplay of Cas1–Cas2 with DNA replication-repair that creates CRISPR–Cas immunity See

Prokaryotic CRISPR–Cas systems rely on the Cas1–Cas2 protein complex to capture new DNA from mobile genetic elements (MGEs), to form immunological memory that defends against the MGEs. However, the mechanisms by which Cas1–Cas2 locates suitable DNA substrates inside cells remain unclear, lim...

End-of-life Management of Electric Vehicle Batteries See

Net-Zero aims have led to an increase in the market share of UK electric vehicles (EVs) to 20.4% in 2025 - up from 16.9% in 2024. It is estimated that by 2035, 150,000 tonnes of battery packs will reach end of life (EOL) annually that will need to be p...

Bridging human insight and automation: improving alt text generation with human-curated contextual data See

The rapid growth of image-based multimedia content on the Web has intensified the challenge of generating high-quality alternative (alt) text descriptions, which is an essential requirement for inclusive online experiences for people with visual impairments.

Leading edge blowing: A targeted approach to reduce aerofoil noise See

This thesis investigates steady leading-edge blowing as an active flow-control strategy for reducing aerofoil self-noise from a NACA 65(12)-10 aerofoil. The work considers three noise mechanisms: trailing-edge tonal noise, leading-edge broadband turbulence-interaction noise, and separation-stall noise. Far-field...

Physical variables to shape individual interpretations into collective knowledge. A participatory data physicalization method for women’s UTI symptoms. See

This doctoral research investigates how data physicalization can support awareness and communication of symptoms in women affected by urinary tract infections (UTIs). Drawing on feminist theories of situated knowledge, biosemiotics, and autographic design, it reconsiders symptoms as interpretative&#...

Microgrid techno-economic optimisation for benchmarking operational net-zero metrics in a hotel typology See

Hotels account for about 1.5% of global energy-related emissions and an estimated 0.6% of UK energy demand in the operational phase. Hence, they have significant potential to contribute to sustainability and Net Zero through reduction in energy and carbon intensity. In the&...

Investigating strategic directions and initiatives of green hydrogen, the role of alignment between government and business collaboration: A case of green hydrogen in Saudi Arabia See

This research investigates the strategic alignment process that can support the development of Green Hydrogen (GH2) initiatives with a case study in Saudi Arabia. Despite growing global interest in GH2 as a pillar of sustainable energy transitions, this research finds that structured na...
