A novel triplet loss architecture with visual explanation for detecting the unwanted rotation of bolts in safety-critical environments (2025)
Journal Article

In the commonly used method of bolting to secure parts of equipment and structure, the bolts must be tightened to an adequate preload force. Failure to do so could affect the integrity of the structure, as well as the efficient runn...

A very brief intervention with the muscle-strengthening guidelines to improve strength in adults aged 50-75 years (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper

Background
Muscle strength is a robust predictor of healthy ageing and vital for independence in later life. Despite their potential reach, there is little evidence that healthcare practitioners are promoting the muscle-strengthening component of th...

Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to levulinic acid via acid catalysis: Current methods, opportunities and challenges for self-sustaining biorefineries (2025)
Journal Article

In recent years, integrated biorefineries have received growing interest as to maximise the extractable value from biomass in the form of green platform chemicals in order to support the establishment of a low carbon economy. Research and development... Read More about Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to levulinic acid via acid catalysis: Current methods, opportunities and challenges for self-sustaining biorefineries.

Application of the applied element method to a reinforced concrete sub- assemblage under a column-removal scenario (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper validates and calibrates the applied element method (AEM) by modelling experimental results from the literature that examine the behaviour of reinforced concrete sub-assemblages under column-removal scenarios. Additionally, the paper ident... Read More about Application of the applied element method to a reinforced concrete sub- assemblage under a column-removal scenario.

Protocol for the economic evaluation of individualised (early) patient-directed rehabilitation versus standard rehabilitation after surgical repair of the rotator cuff of the shoulder (RaCeR 2) (2025)
Journal Article

Introduction. RaCeR 2 is a pragmatic multi-centre, open-label, randomised controlled trial, with full economic evaluation. The primary aim is to assess whether individualised (early) patient-directed rehabilitation (EPDR) results in less shoulder pa...

Sowing Sustainability: How does Fintech Mitigate Agricultural Financial Risk from Climate Change Vulnerability (2025)
Journal Article

This study examines the impact of climate vulnerability on agricultural finance and explores the moderating role of fintech in this nexus. Using a sample of 1,017 firms from 24 countries, we find that climate vulnerability is positively associated wi...
