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...

A novel data-centric AI approach based on sensitivity and correlation analyses for multi-organ plant disease classification (2025)
Journal Article

With advancements in deep learning (DL), most research on classification problems has focused on developing or modifying DL models, known as model-centric artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. However, this approach is time-consuming and overlooks... Read More about A novel data-centric AI approach based on sensitivity and correlation analyses for multi-organ plant disease classification.

Navigating healthcare realities: exploring access and engagement for transgender and non-binary individuals in England (2025)
Journal Article


Purpose

Engaging transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse (TNBiGD) individuals in healthcare beyond transition-related care is necessary for improving health outcomes. Because of a lack of legislative protections in the UK, this population fac...
