‘It's all very well having a diverse curriculum, but if there is no curriculum, it can be as diverse as you like’: Precarity and decolonising in the neoliberal UK higher education system

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing upon interview research across two academic departments as part of the early stages of a ‘decolonise the curriculum’ initiative at a Southern UK university, this study highlights a growing gulf between policy and practice in efforts to address systemic racial inequalities in UK universities. A reliance upon precarious labour, a culture

The Role of Social Media in Exposing Greenwashing: Consumer Sentiments and Discussions

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines consumer responses to greenwashing on social media, with a focus on X (formerly Twitter), where exaggerated or deceptive environmental claims are subject to heightened public scrutiny. As sustainability becomes a pressing concern, consumers are increasingly holding companies accountable for their environmental messaging ...

Microscopic time‐dependent mechanical behavior of shale derived from nanoindentation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study conducted grid nanoindentation creep tests to systematically analyze the microscopic creep behaviors of shale. Based on the analysis of creep strain rate sensitivity, the primary mechanism of microscopic creep in shale was found to be the extension and closure of microcracks.

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Effect of the passive damping plate on the vertical stability of permanent magnet electrodynamic suspension system

IET Electric Power Applications
The vertical stability of permanent magnet (PM) electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system with a passive damping plate is studied because of the well‐known under‐damped nature of the EDS suspension system.

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

Polymer Stress‐Tensor Calculation for a Laminar Submerged Viscoelastic Jet Flow Using Different Constitutive Models

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study presents an efficient method to compute polymer stress‐tensor components in viscoelastic laminar jet flows using models such as Oldroyd‐B, Giesekus, PTT, and FENE. By assuming a stationary and parallel flow, the methodology significantly reduces computational cost.
