With the vigorous development of the electric vehicle industry, there is an increasing demand for high-capacity, high-stability batteries, and higher requirements are also placed on clean, non-toxic, and efficient battery production processes. The electrode is one of the most important components in lithium-ion batteries. It determines the capacity and overall performance of the battery. The fabri

The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh

This study investigated the effects of confirmation bias on episodic memory. This was achieved through an experiment assessing people's attitudes towards drugs and their recall of pro, neutral, and anti-drug news headlines. Our hypothesis was that participants would be better at remembering headlines that were in support of their beliefs and worse at remembering those that were against. 109 pe

The global call for more sustainable energy development and natural resource management hinges on both the technical ability and social capacity to harness the potentials from these resources. Symbolic Regression in Energy Engineering explores leveraging machine learning to solve renewable energy challenges arising from the notorious volatility of resources.

Recurring natural and man-made disasters are resulting in an increasing number of displaced people who need to be provided with urgent accommodation. Due to insufficient legal regulations and effective construction methods, refugees are often located in conditions defined as ‘temporary’, offering low quality of living conditions, degrading social environment and destructive impact on the city land

The violation of baryon number, B, is a vital component of a process promoting the excess of matter over antimatter, as it is necessary to explain the baryon imbalance observed in the universe. Since experimental evidence for such an occurrence has yet to be discovered, the HIBEAM-NNBAR experiment, at the European Spallation Source facility, is a proposed two-stage program aimed at expanding the c

This paper will focus on the environmental effect of certain building materials after they have served the purpose of what they were designed for. Mainly it will try to answer the question: What would be the better option for the used product? Energy recovery, recycling, or reuse of the materials? And from which standpoint is it better to do any of these three. How does this effect the environment

This study aims to explore the impact of Short Local Food Supply Chains (SLFSCs) from the perspectives of producers and consumers in rural Spanish areas. Focused on the marginalized and rural areas such as Valle del Jerte (Cáceres,Extremadura) and La Garrotxa (Girona, Catalonia), this research employs a mixed-method approach, integrating qualitative data from interviews with supplementary survey

This study investigates whether asset allocation using public sentiment from social media data can enhance portfolio performance compared to traditional strategies. By constructing a sentiment index based on tweets about major NASDAQ-listed companies and employing machine learning and natural language processing techniques, we forecast public sentiment to inform a dynamic asset allocation strategy

This study aims to investigate whether cultural, institutional, and geographic distances between European lead investors and startups affect returns to Venture Capital (VC) investments. A cross-sectional analysis of 332 European VC investments initiated in 2015 and 2016 within the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) was conducted.

Employing a qualitative approach, six interviews were transcribed and analyzed through Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The identified themes include Exploration of the Pre-loss Phase, Intrinsic Factors, External Factors, Progression Towards Acceptance, Embracing the Present Mom

The process of pouring concrete is very common in the construction industry. Typically, a person stands on top of reinforcements around the mold of the slab while manually pushing the hose, guiding it in a smooth side-to-side movement until an even pour has filled up the mold. Another person is positioned at a distance from the pouring end controlling the pump and thus the flow of concrete through

Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open
