Understanding the wake dynamics of oscillating fuel-injector needles is critical for optimizing injection performance. To isolate the underlying mechanisms, this study employs an idealized two-dimensional model of a cantilever needle oscillating in planar channel flow. The effects of oscillation param...

The development of multifunctional polymeric nanocomposites possessing high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity is of significant interest for advanced biomedical and soft robotic applications. In this study, smart PCL/COC/GNP ternary nanocomposites were prepared&#x...

Grid‐connected energy communities on weak or capacity‐limited feeders increasingly consider hybrid photovoltaic (PV)–battery–hydrogen systems yet planning studies often size assets against annual balances while leaving the grid connection as an effectively unconstrained buffer. Here, we develop a boundary‐centr...

Drawing on the theory of the growth of the firm, this study examines the relationship between radical product innovation and export behaviour in small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Utilising data from the UK Longitudinal Small Business Surveys (LSBS) for the period 2015–2017, thi...

Bronchiectasis is a heterogeneous lung disease. There is an increasing focus on personalised medicine in bronchiectasis, with targeted pharmacological interventions for inflammation, immunology and infection. Airway clearance techniques (ACTs) are non-pharmacological treatments used to manage bronchiectasis. Approxi...

Background: Guidelines recommend that asthma medication should be stepped down to the minimally effective dose that achieves symptom control. Stepping down aims to prevent adverse medication effects and unnecessary costs but is often not implemented in primary care, where most&...

Job crafting is widely regarded as a proactive approach for enhancing meaning and well‐being at work. This study challenges this view by examining the experiences of 24 change managers across six public‐sector organizations. Conceptualizing job crafting as identity work, we show that it...

Soft robotic hands, particularly those utilizing tendon-driven mechanisms, offer significant advantages in precision and adaptability for handling delicate objects. These soft robotic hands are designed to mimic the dexterity and flexibility of the human hand by employing variable stiffness materials....

Soft robots benefit from their compliant materials, but the potential of safe and reliable operation remains limited without integration of strain and tactile sensors to detect contact, collisions, and robot pose. While humans achieve dexterous grasping through a dense distribution of mechan...
