Human and Activity Detection in Ambient Assisted Living Scenarios
(2024-06-06)Human activity recognition (HAR) is crucial in assistive technology and human-robot interaction (HRI) as it enables robots and assistive devices to understand and respond to the individual’s movements and actions, ... -
University Students’ Lived Experiences of Developing Active Empathic Listening Skills in Online Synchronous Learning
(2024-12-03)In Higher Education, good relationships between peers are essential for students to learn from each other, develop critical thinking skills, participate actively and make friends. Good relationships may be developed in ... -
Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings at the Design Stage Through Statistical and Machine Learning Models
(2025-01-08)The high proportion of energy consumed in buildings has led to significant environmental problems that negatively impact human existence. It is noted that the construction of energyefficient buildings can help reduce the ... -
Queer Men’s Pathways to Parenthood: Exploring Experiences and Decision-Making of Gay and Bi Men Navigating Surrogacy in the UK
(2024-12-17)Background: There has been some research into queer men’s procreative choices and decision making specifically focusing on adoption and surrogacy from an international context. The research highlights that decisions are ... -
Environmentally Sustainable Construction by Reducing Embodied Carbon Emissions in the Construction of Large-Scale Projects: a Study on High-Rise Buildings
(2024-09-11)This research aims to comprehensively evaluate and quantify the impact of construction processes and practices in large-scale projects, focusing mainly on high-rise buildings. Employing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) ... -
Novel Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage Applications
(2024-10-24)The increasing demand for efficient and sustainable thermal energy storage (TES) systems has driven extensive research into phase change materials (PCMs). Despite their high energy storage capacity, the low thermal ... -

Developments in the Epidemiology of Drug-Related Mortality in the United Kingdom over the last 30 Years: Continuity, Change, Consistency, and Challenge
(2024-10-03)This thesis has its roots in and has organically grown out of the author’s previous professional civil service roles and academic and related activities associated with drug indicators since 1987. However, the focus of the ... -
Positive Geometries for Scattering Amplitudes in N = 4 SYM and ABJM
(2024-09-12)This thesis investigates geometric descriptions of scattering amplitudes, with a specific focus on scattering amplitudes in N = 4 SYM and ABJM theory. The recent development of the field of positive geometries provides ... -
A kiloparsec-scale ordered magnetic field in a galaxy at z = 5.6
(2024-12-31)Magnetic fields are widely observed in various astronomical contexts, yet much remains unknown about their significance across different systems and cosmic epochs. Our current knowledge of the evolution of magnetic fields ... -
Lorentzian bordisms in algebraic quantum field theory
(2025-02-03)It is shown that every algebraic quantum field theory has an underlying functorial field theory which is defined on a suitable globally hyperbolic Lorentzian bordism pseudo-category. This means that globally hyperbolic ... -
Pre-registration student research placements within knowbest: a service evaluation
(2025-03-30)Pre-registration student placements have traditionally been based in clinical settings. Recently, practice-based learning has evolved to include additional settings, including research, leadership and management. The ... -
Un oubli généreux du passé’: art, politics and oblivion and the Salon of 1814
(2024-11-01)The collapse of Napoleon’s Empire and the restoration of Louis XVIII left a legacy so embittered that any hope of political reconciliation was all but impossible. To this end the new constitution required that the atrocities ... -
An Update on Deaths in the United Kingdom from 'Poppers' (Alkyl Nitrites), with a Particular Focus on 'Swallowing' Fatalities
(2025-01-10)Background/Objectives: Alkyl nitrites are a class of inhalant, commonly known as 'poppers'. Although having medical uses, some other effects include a 'rush', 'high', 'euphoria', or feeling of excitement. This has led to ... -
A Sector in Crisis? Insights from how English Higher Education Apprenticeships are Weathering the Storm
(2025-01-29)Purpose: This viewpoint explores strategic lessons for wider higher education (HE) practices from university business and management apprenticeships in England. The paper highlights parallels between the challenges in ... -
Protocol on a systematic review of nomenclature and outcomes in children with complex critical illness in Paediatric Critical Care: The basis for consensus definition
(2025-02-06)Introduction: Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) supports the recovery of children with severe illness. In the UK, there are 30 PCC units with a total of approximately 400 beds. There is constant demand for these beds with a ... -
The Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction of Star-forming Galaxies at 2.4 ≲ z ≲ 3.0 from UVCANDELS
