Agency Effects on Robot Trust in Different Age Groups
(ACM Press, 2024-11-24)Trust plays a major role when introducing interactive robots into people’s personal spaces, which, in large part, depends on how they perceive the robot. This paper presents the initial results of an investigation into the ... -
Guest Editorial: Memristive electronic circuits, neural networks and neuromorphic computing
(2024-11-13)The theoretical concept of memristor was first proposed as the fourth basic circuit element by Chua in 1971. It defines the relationship between electric charge and magnetic flux. The first physical implementation of ... -
Nomads and international relations: post-sedentarist dialogues
(2024-11-18)The key concepts and reference points of International Relations (IR) are informed by a sedentarist worldview anchored on the territorial state. IR’s conception of its subject-matter is thus ‘static’ in both senses of the ... -
Linking Non-Financial Performance Determinants with IPO Underpricing: Evidence from Indonesia
(Academic Conferences International (ACI), 2024-11-13)This study aims to investigate the determinants that may influence the underpricing in Initial Public Offerings (IPO), a phenomenon found in stock exchange markets globally. Underpricing occurs when the intrinsic value is ... -
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) X. Probing the early chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy with carbon abundances
(2024-10-22)We aim to constrain the chemo-dynamical properties of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy using carbon abundances. Our sample from the \textit{Pristine} Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) includes $\sim 350$ metal-poor ([Fe/H]~$+0.7$) ... -
How Do Young People Who Have Offended in the United Kingdom Conceptualise the Term ‘Family’?
(2024-11-06)Children and young people’s understandings and experiences of ‘family’ have largely been ignored in research that concerns them. This article reports the findings from research that was generated in collaboration with young ... -
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) IX. The largest detailed chemical analysis of very metal-poor stars in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
(2024-09-13)The most metal-poor stars provide valuable insights into the early chemical enrichment history of a system, carrying the chemical imprints of the first generations of supernovae. The most metal-poor region of the Sagittarius ... -
Proactive market orientation towards export performance within SMEs: a comparative study between the US and South Korea
(2024-11-13)Drawing on dynamic capabilities (DC) theory, this paper examines the relationships between proactive market orientation (PMO) that captures new knowledge or information for a business market and export performance through ... -
Applications of artificial intelligence for chemical analysis and monitoring of pharmaceutical and personal care products in water and wastewater: A review
(2024-11-30)Specifying and interpreting the occurrence of emerging pollutants is essential for assessing treatment processes and plants, conducting wastewater-based epidemiology, and advancing environmental toxicology research. In ... -
Methylphenidate abuse and misuse in patients affected with a psychiatric disorder and a substance use disorder: a systematic review
(2024-11-18)Methylphenidate (MPH), a central nervous system stimulant primarily prescribed for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has seen increasing rates of misuse and abuse, particularly in patients with dual diagnosis ... -
Nanocellulose in Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Membranes: Assessing Reinforcement Impact and Modelling Techniques
(2024-12-30)In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based nanocomposite membranes reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were fabricated using the phase inversion method. The effects of 0.5 ... -
Enhancing Vehicular Performance with Flywheel Energy Storage Systems: Emerging Technologies and Applications
