Effects of Polyphosphoric Acid on Physical, Rheological, and Chemical Properties of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS)-Modified Asphalt Binder (2025)
Journal Article

High temperatures combined with heavy traffic load necessitate asphalt binder modification to enhance its performance and durability. This research examines the effects of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) on the physical, rheological, and chemical propertie... Read More about Effects of Polyphosphoric Acid on Physical, Rheological, and Chemical Properties of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS)-Modified Asphalt Binder.

Finite Element Numerical Simulation of Free Convection Heat Transfer in a Square Cavity containing an Inclined Prismatic Obstacle with Machine Learning Optimization (2025)
Journal Article

The present work describes a numerical simulation of free convection heat transfer inside a square cavity containing a prismatic obstacle at various angles of inclination. The non-dimensional governing equations are discretized by the Finite Element...

A Pilot Project to Create Awareness of Clinical Research Funding Streams Among Nurses and Allied Health Professionals in England (2025)
Journal Article

Background: A culturally diverse research workforce benefits patients, the community and the population as patients see health and care professionals who are like them and can build trusting relationships. From our experience, ethnic minority group n... Read More about A Pilot Project to Create Awareness of Clinical Research Funding Streams Among Nurses and Allied Health Professionals in England.

Enhancing laboratory education through collaborative online international learning: A case study between USA and UK students (2025)
Journal Article

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) has emerged in recent years as an effective and viable alternative to increase the international opportunities within taught curricula. Through recent innovations in online collabor... Read More about Enhancing laboratory education through collaborative online international learning: A case study between USA and UK students.

Environmental changes in East-Central Europe from a Middle to Late Holocene Romanian cave sediment record (2025)
Journal Article

Caves are sensitive to hydrological processes including sediment transport associated with changes in external climatic conditions. When located in the proximity of prehistoric settlements, cave sediments can provide details about human activities an...

Public and patient involvement (PPI) in the design, execution and dissemination of a trial: the BISTRO trial (2025)
Journal Article

Background
For people receiving haemodialysis, a balance has to be struck between removing sufficient but not too much fluid during a treatment session and maintaining any remaining kidney function they might have. In the BISTRO trial, this study so... Read More about Public and patient involvement (PPI) in the design, execution and dissemination of a trial: the BISTRO trial.

Development and validation of a measure to assess patient experience of needling of arteriovenous fistulas or grafts for haemodialysis access: the NPREM (2025)
Journal Article

Background
Needling is a key step in haemodialysis. Research suggests needling experience is sub-optimal; however, no validated measure exists to inform improvements. We addressed this by developing the Needling Patient Reported Experience Measure (...
