The formation of halos was investigated for hypoeutectic, eutectic and hypereutectic Zn-Al alloys under conventional and under convection solidification. It was found that the Zn-rich halos occurred in the surroundings of the Al-rich primary phase for the hypereutectic Zn-Al alloys at Al>...

In the present paper, we introduced the development of integrated structural castings with digital twin technology for the rear structure of high-end E-sports cars. The topological optimisation, casting structural design, materials verification, melt flow and solidification, mechanical property prediction&...

In this paper, we propose an optimisation framework for deployment of multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) to meet the wireless coverage demands for smart warehouses. Specifically, we are the first to formulate a unified network optimisation task that jointly considers RIS pla...

In this paper, a novel artificial noise (AN)-aided secure and covert integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) framework is established for uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, to against malicious radar signal detection and communication eavesdropping. Specifically, we consider that besides the&#...

In this paper, we consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system, aiming at simultaneously communicating with multiple users and sensing targets that serve as adversarial observers, under multiple signal-dependent interference sources. A novel concept o...

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient covert communication framework for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted backscatter systems, where one UAV is deployed to collect data from one ground backscatter device (BD), in the presence of a warden who is trying to detect whether...

Hysteresis in the neoliberal academy emerges as inherited academic dispositions collide with performance-driven governance under authoritarian neoliberalism, producing inside- and outside-track academic lives. We examine how neoliberal reforms in higher education in Turkey have restructured academic performance,...

This paper develops the concept of cis hell to describe the regulatory normativity over all bodies based on gender biopolitics as a global political pandemic. Centring the recent UK Supreme Court’s 2025 Equality Act ruling and connecting it to similar examples across the world,...

Background: Team-Based Learning (TBL) is widely used in medical education to promote active engagement, yet its structured format raises questions about how power, voice, and cultural inclusion are negotiated. Using a critical pedagogy lens can illuminate how students experience these ...
