The main purpose of this study is to investigate the adhesion between corroded aluminium conductor strands and the semi-conductive cable screen. In this paper it is proposed that increased adhesion is one of the pre-requisites for the local degradation of the semi-conductive cable screen...

Power cables in air- or water-filled pipes are the thermal bottleneck in many installations. Some parts of the industry reduce the complexity of their numerical models by combining conduction, convection, and surface-surface radiation into an effective thermal conductivity by formulas and...

We present a computational study of positive streamers in air propagating over dielectric plates with square channels running orthogonal to the propagation direction. The study uses a newly developed non-kinetic Particle-In-Cell model based on Îto diffusion and kinetic Monte Carlo, which does not...

Trust is an attitudinal construct that can be sensitive to prior experience, gender, and age. In our study, we explored how trust in a banking chatbot might be shaped by these user characteristics. Statistical analysis of 251 participants, who interacted with one of six chatbots defined by...

As metasurfaces begin to find industrial applications there is a need to develop scalable and cost-effective fabrication techniques which offer sub-100 nm resolution while providing high throughput and large area patterning. Here we demonstrate the use of UV-Nanoimprint Lithography and Deep Reactive...

In this study, the isothermal reduction of bauxite residue-calcite sintered pellets by hydrogen at elevated temperatures and different gas flow rates was investigated. A thermogravimetric technique was applied to study the kinetics of the direct reduction by H₂ at 500–1000 °C. It was observed that...
