Toward Sustainable 3D Concrete Printing: A Critical Review of Waste-Derived Materials Across Binder, Geopolymer, and Aggregate Systems See

Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) has emerged as a promising digital construction technology that reduces material waste, eliminates formwork, and enables complex geometries. However, its sustainability remains constrained by the extensive use of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and natural aggregat...

Smart Logistics Model for Supply Chain Management via Brain-Inspired Geometric Deep Networks See

Systematic logistics plays a key role in fostering profitable development in supply chains. An intelligent logistics model can help create a more agile, sustainable, and resilient supply chain. In recent years, several brain-inspired deep learning architectures, such as long short-term memory...

A Methodology for Conditioning ADS-B Helicopter Trajectories for Noise and Emissions Assessment See

Helicopter operations are often underrepresented in environmental assessments due to their relatively low number of movements and the use of aggregated indicators that do not capture their localised impacts. At the same time, rotorcraft activity typically occurs at low altitude within urban&...

From Building Services to Process Loads: Whole-Building Utility-Calibrated Simulation of Sustainable Operational Decarbonisation Limits in a UK SME Restaurant Retrofit See

Restaurants combine long opening hours, catering demand, kitchen ventilation, DHW, and mixed-fuel cooking loads, making their decarbonisation different from generic commercial retrofit. For small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) hospitality premises, this makes the transition to net-zero operation a dist...

Real-Time Synchronisation in Low-Power Wireless Sensor Networks: From Industry to Healthcare See

The growing demand for real-time data synchronisation has increased the importance of supervisory control systems in industrial automation, smart grids, healthcare monitoring, and environmental applications. Low-power wireless sensor networks (LPWSNs) have emerged as key enablers of scalable and energy-eff...

Lean Combustion Enhancement and Decarbonization Technologies for Natural Gas Engines See

This study explores key technological challenges and innovative strategies for improving the combustion performance and emission characteristics of low-carbon fuel engines, with a focus on natural gas applications. The core bottlenecks of natural gas combustion, including slow combustion speed and...

Burden and economic impact of RSV hospitalisations among English adults, 2023/24 See

Objectives: To provide updated, national estimates of the burden and secondary-care costs of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalisations among adults aged ≥40 years in England, using data from 2023/24, the last season before the UK implemented its adult RSV vaccination pro...

The economic burden of COVID-19 undervaccination: costs of hospitalisation, ICU admission, and death in Scotland See

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed substantial financial and operational pressures on healthcare systems globally. While vaccines were known to reduce severe outcomes, their broader economic impacts, especially in publicly funded health systems, requires clearer quantification. This study evaluates the ...

Miscarriage, self-harm, and psychiatric disorders in first-time pregnant women: Evidence from a linkage study See

We leveraged the biological evidence that a first pregnancy ending in miscarriage is considered a quasi-exogenous shock to fertility and linked electronic health records to estimate adjusted associations between miscarriage and self-harm and psychiatric outcomes. In a random cohort of 1.2 mi...
