‘…It was my choice to see how I can acquire this Western world education… and I'm happy…’: Structuration and the dialectic nature of being a Nigerian university student in the UK

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines the experiences of Nigerian cross‐border students in UK higher education, focusing on how colonial legacies continue to shape the interplay between structure and agency. Three key themes emerged in the analysis of the data: First, the persistence of a ‘West is Best’ mentality reflects the internalisation of colonial ...

The Optimization of the Geometry of the Centrifugal Fan at Different Design Points

Applied Sciences
The optimization of the geometry of a centrifugal fan is performed at maximum power and high-efficiency design points (DPs) to improve impeller efficiency. Two design variables defining the shape of fan blade are selected for the optimization.

Crack Propagation in Axial-Flow Fan Blades Under Complex Loading Conditions: A FRANC3D and ABAQUS Co-Simulation Approach

Applied Sciences
Since fan blades are exposed to fatigue, and in some cases harsh loading conditions, they may exhibit fracture failures due to crack propagation, resulting in significant losses.

Expression, Purification, and Microscopy‐Based Assays for Engineered Recombinant Tyrosinated, Detyrosinated, and Δ2 Human Tubulin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules are noncovalent polymers assembled from α/β tubulin dimers. Their structure, dynamics and interaction with effectors are regulated through the expression of diverse tubulin isotypes and chemically diverse posttranslational modifications, also known as the “tubulin code.” Understanding the biophysical correlates between tubulin ...
