The Hall-Petch relationship relates the yield strength (YS) of metallic materials to grain diameter (d), but for alloys with dendritic grains, secondary dendritic arm spacing (λ2) provides a better fit. This manuscript underscores the significance of considering a perimeter-associated parameter (...

This research explores the impact of gender, religion, and ethnicity on school students’ science identities through the lens of intersectionality. In this research, science identity focusses on identification and recognition as a science person, having an interest in science, compete...

Digital Twin (DT) technology is increasingly important for real-time healthcare monitoring and predictive analytics. However, existing healthcare systems face critical challenges, including excessive computational load, high network latency, vulnerability to quantum cyberattacks, and inefficient strategies&#...

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications (SATCOM) are important for wireless networks and offer better global wireless access services than higher altitude SATCOM options. SATCOM performance is affected by the number of antennas, which is usually constrained by the satellite space. In&...

Modern rescue operations rely on wireless communications for safety reporting, area monitoring, and rescue coordination. However, natural disasters severely damage ground infrastructure, creating significant challenges for emergency rescue and recovery efforts. This paper establishes a disaster response network...

The bond behaviour between fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and concrete plays a critical role in the performance of FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) structures. While extensive research has been conducted on debonding failures, existing studies predominantly treat concrete as homogeneous, neglectin...

Extensive experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to understand the bond behaviour of FRP-concrete interfaces with the assumption of homogenous materials. This study is aimed at a better understanding of the effects of concrete heterogeneity on the FRP-concrete bond behaviour, ...

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) can significantly enhance the performance of data and energy integrated networks (DEIN) by adjusting its amplitude and/or phase. However, there is a lack of comprehensive performance analysis model for realistic DEIN where multiple cells exist rather than...

Terahertz (THz) communication has received much attention recently for its large bandwidth availability, high data-rate transmission and alleviating the spectrum shortage, and it can meet the requirements of Internet of Things with large system capacity and networking capability. In this paper,&#...
