Journal Article
OKPOZO, P., NJUGUNA, J., ISLAM, S., UYANGA, K. and PANCHOLI, K. [2024]. Fabrication with magnetic-spin coating: Influence of magnetic-inertia energy ratio on gold-Pickering ferrofluid droplet assembly morphology. Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials [online], Articles In Press. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2024.172577

Magnetic self-assembly of nanoparticles is a well-known technique for creating thin-film array-patterned functional microstructures. However, an uncontrollable hierarchical assembly formation of magnetically stimulated particles has hindered the desi...

Microalloy Mg-based degradation implant for intra-osteal fixation. (2024)
Journal Article
NIU, T., ZHANG, Y., LIU, S., et al. [2024]. Microalloy Mg-based degradation implant for intra-osteal fixation. Materialia [online], In Press, article number 102258. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtla.2024.102258

The bottleneck for Mg-based degradable implants lies in the mismatching relationship between mechanical properties and degradable rate, resulting in the rapid failure during the in-vivo degradable process and potential toxic role. Herein microalloyco... Read More about Microalloy Mg-based degradation implant for intra-osteal fixation..

Natural fibers for enhanced efficiency and sustainability in solar desalination: a review. (2024)
Journal Article
EGIZA, M., DIAB, M.R., FAISAL, N. and ELSHEIKH, A.H. 2024. Natural fibers for enhanced efficiency and sustainability in solar desalination: a review. Solar energy [online], 282, article number 112963. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2024.112963

Global water scarcity, accelerated by inefficient wastewater treatment and the high cost of conventional desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis, necessitates sustainable solutions. Solar stills, harnessing solar energy, offer a promising l... Read More about Natural fibers for enhanced efficiency and sustainability in solar desalination: a review..

Type 2 diabetes and food security: a mounting crisis with implications for community nurses. (2024)
Journal Article
KENNEDY, C. 2024. Type 2 diabetes and food security: a mounting crisis with implications for community nurses. British journal of community nursing [online] (accepted). To be made available from: https://doi.org/10.12968/bjcn.2024.0115

The incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing at an alarming rate across Europe and North America, presenting a mounting crisis and significant health challenges. Alongside the health challenges associated with T2D, the prevalen... Read More about Type 2 diabetes and food security: a mounting crisis with implications for community nurses..

European human rights in the era of pushbacks: some current issues.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
LYONS, C. 2024. European human rights in the era of pushbacks: some current issues. Presented at 2024 Scottish international law conference: human rights incorporation, 10-11 September 2024, Stirling, UK.

This paper reflects on some key developments in relation to "pushbacks" at both the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The reflection will be set in the context of the complementarity, and otherwise, that e... Read More about European human rights in the era of pushbacks: some current issues..
