Antimony (Sb) is a group 15 metalloid that is used as a catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, a common food contact material (FCM). PET accounts for over 44% of single-use beverage packaging units and is also used in the production of foo...

In this paper we consider how we can include index options in enhanced indexation. We present the concept of an “option strategy” which enables us to treat options as equivalent to an asset. An option strategy for a known set of options is a specified set of rul...

In the cold-chamber high-pressure die casting (CC-HPDC) process for light alloys, strong shear stress generated by the fast-flowing melt through narrow runners breaks externally solidified crystals (ESCs). Two runner configurations were applied in the CC-HPDC process of aluminum alloy to address&...

Solid/liquid (S/L) interface energy (𝛾_sl) and its anisotropy (φ) play a critical role in the understanding of nearly every single phenomenon that occurs during solidification of metals, such as nucleation, morphological instability and dendrite growth. However, due to ...

Loneliness in adolescence is a promising intervention target because of the high prevalence of loneliness at this developmental stage, the demonstrable associations with mental illness, and potential to prevent the onset of mental disorder. However, the acceptability of loneliness interventions t...
