Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by the public to obtain health information and support health-related decisions. Because such use involves advice-taking, following or rejecting AI-generated advice can have direct clinical and safety im...

The function of government is broadly seen as an agent to control crime (Garland 1996). However, critical scholars have identified that the government’s crime control role is ambiguous, suggesting that the state and large corporations are interpenetrated (Kramer 2020; Tombs 2012; White ...

Antimony (Sb) is a group 15 metalloid that is used as a catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, a common food contact material (FCM). PET accounts for over 44% of single-use beverage packaging units and is also used in the production of foo...

In this paper we consider how we can include index options in enhanced indexation. We present the concept of an “option strategy” which enables us to treat options as equivalent to an asset. An option strategy for a known set of options is a specified set of rul...

In the cold-chamber high-pressure die casting (CC-HPDC) process for light alloys, strong shear stress generated by the fast-flowing melt through narrow runners breaks externally solidified crystals (ESCs). Two runner configurations were applied in the CC-HPDC process of aluminum alloy to address&...

Solid/liquid (S/L) interface energy (𝛾_sl) and its anisotropy (φ) play a critical role in the understanding of nearly every single phenomenon that occurs during solidification of metals, such as nucleation, morphological instability and dendrite growth. However, due to ...

Loneliness in adolescence is a promising intervention target because of the high prevalence of loneliness at this developmental stage, the demonstrable associations with mental illness, and potential to prevent the onset of mental disorder. However, the acceptability of loneliness interventions t...

Metals are vital to human society and have widespread uses across a broad spectrum of industries including but not limited to packaging, transport and construction applications. They are mainly used in load-bearing structural components. Nonetheless, they possess finite operational lifetime attri...
