Bamboo is an abundant and fast-growing lignocellulosic resource with considerable potential as a sustainable precursor for functional carbon materials. In this work, bamboo-derived carbon microspheres were employed to induce the self-assembly of Mg-modulated Ni-Co layered hydroxide heterostructures, forming...

Modern art was arguably a major inspiration for the social structural approach pioneered by A.R Radcliffe-Brown. This suggestion is counter-intuitive, given that Radcliffe-Brown is known to have advocated a scientific rather than humanistic approach to the study of social life. However, duri...

The microstructural evolution and hardness behavior of an Mg–1Zn–0.2Ca alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) and subsequent annealing were systematically investigated. The initial grain size of ∼105 μm was refined to the ultrafine regime after HPT processing and subsequent annealing, wit...

A Digital twin (DT) is a virtual replica of a physical object, which has the capability of integrating with a virtual object, such that they exchange data and use the data exchanged to improve each other. It is a confluence of Industry 4.0 technological innovations, such&...

Industrial tunnel ovens are among the most energy-intensive equipment in large-scale bakeries and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. This review synthesises experimental, computational, and industrial evidence on tunnel-oven performance and decarbonisation options, focusing on gas-fired, ele...

The rapid development of distributed generators (DGs) has increased the complexity of distribution system (DS), creating a need for advanced solutions to maintain operational constraints. This paper introduces a novel distributed decision-making algorithm that models DS operators and DGs as disti...
