The University of Strathclyde summer experience: the impact of a widening access residential summer programme for children in care

Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care, 2013
The Innovative Routes to Learning (IRL) unit at the University of Strathclyde ran a three-day on-campus residential programme for children from a looked after (care) background from three Glasgow City Council schools during summer 2013, designed to build

Machine Learning‐Supported Analysis for Predicting and Visualizing Nonlinear Relationships Between Material Properties in Electroplated Chromium Layers

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study applies machine learning regression to predict chromium layer thickness in decorative trivalent chromium electroplating, using 441 experiments from laboratory‐scale (1L) and pilot‐scale (14L) setups. Tree‐based models, particularly CatBoost, outperformed linear regression by capturing nonlinear parameter interactions (R2$R^2$ up to 0.77 ...

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.

Whose Knowledge Counts? Reframing “Demographic Literacy” in Scottish Widening Access Higher Education Through International and Anti-Oppressive Perspectives

Populations
This review examines how demographic knowledge is framed and reimagined within a Scottish widening access higher education programme. Drawing on my positionality as a former international student and widening access graduate, alongside over 15 years of ...

The Widening Participation Agenda in German Higher Education: Discourses and Legitimizing Strategies

Social Inclusion, 2019
Although participation in higher education (HE) has expanded in Europe, social inequalities remain a major political challenge. As HE expansion has not led to equal access and success, the mechanisms behind policies seeking to reduce inequalities need to

Omnipolar Magnetic Field Detection by Superlattice‐Based Hall Sensor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic‐field‐induced electronic switching is demonstrated in unit‐cell‐engineered La0.7Sr0.3MnO3–BiFeO3 superlattices. Distinct substrate terminations modify magnetic and transport properties. Hall resistance measurements show omnipolar, hysteretic anomalous Hall switching above the Curie temperature, arising from Fe─Mn interfacial exchange, enabling

The Evolving ASEAN Free Trade Area: Widening and Deepening

Asian Development Review, 2000
A recent development in regional trading arrangements has been their tendency to both widen and deepen. This paper examines the impacts of widening, and assesses the progress of deepening in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). The widening of AFTA has seen
