Is aphantasia a neurodevelopmental condition? Evidence from face recognition and developmental prosopagnosia (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper

Developmental aphantasia is characterised by an absence of visual mental imagery, with many
researchers concluding that it is not a disorder. However, impairments in facial identity
processing and elevated cooccurrence with developmental prosopagno... Read More about Is aphantasia a neurodevelopmental condition? Evidence from face recognition and developmental prosopagnosia.

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 2): Utilising knee axis estimation to investigate population trends between prosthesis characteristics and coupling movements. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Prosthetic coupling, primarily pistoning, has been widely used to measure prosthetic fit quality. In lower-limb prosthetics, socket comfort and ambulatory function are key priorities for user satisfaction. However, the true influence of...

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 1): Utilising adjustable sockets to influence prosthetic interface stiffness when comparing knee axis estimation methods. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Motion capture (MoCap) is widely used to study human ambulation. While optimisation to estimate the knee axis from MoCap markers has been explored in healthy populations [1-3], its effectiveness in transtibial prosthesis users remains unc...

The Adoption of Industry 4.0 Technologies in SME's Operations in Developing Economies - The Case of Ghana (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study examines drivers and challenges of Industry 4.0 adoption among Ghanaian SMEs through a survey. It assesses awareness, readiness, adoption, government policies and operational efficiency. Our findings demonstrate that readiness outweighs aw... Read More about The Adoption of Industry 4.0 Technologies in SME's Operations in Developing Economies - The Case of Ghana.

Computation of Manganese Ferrite/Nickel Ferrite Ethylene glycol hybrid ferromagnetic nanofluid stretching flow with radiative flux: Applications in solar nano-coatings (2025)
Journal Article

Renewable energy has expanded significantly in the 21st century due to increasing efficiency and sustainability and reducing harmful emissions. Among various renewable sources, solar energy is the most abundant. Engineers have developed numerous sola...

Understanding Vulnerabilities and ‘Pathways’ in the Commission of Sexual Offences by Autistic Individuals: Perspectives from UK-based Practitioners (2025)
Journal Article

Although autistic people are no more likely to perpetrate crime compared to the general population, evidence suggests that certain types of crime, such as sexual offences, are more common among autistic individuals who do engage in crime. In recent y... Read More about Understanding Vulnerabilities and ‘Pathways’ in the Commission of Sexual Offences by Autistic Individuals: Perspectives from UK-based Practitioners.

Unlocking green technology adoption: exploring influential factors and the moderating influence of environmentally responsible behaviour (2025)
Journal Article

Purpose:
Prior research has shown the usefulness of the technology acceptance model (TAM) in what drives firms’ green technology adoption; however, it lacks predictions about how external factors dictate expected outcomes. We complement technology a... Read More about Unlocking green technology adoption: exploring influential factors and the moderating influence of environmentally responsible behaviour.

You don't know what you don't know; using high school outreach to improve awareness of bioscience-based careers and higher education (2025)
Journal Article

When considering the diversity of students in higher education, an important but frequently overlooked characteristic is socioeconomic background. It is well known that those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to progress to high...
