Low-Dimensional Metal-Organic Magnets as a Route toward the S = 2 Haldane Phase (2023)
Journal Article

Metal-organic magnets (MOMs), modular magnetic materials where metal atoms are connected by organic linkers, are promising candidates for next-generation quantum technologies. MOMs readily form low-dimensional structures and so are ideal systems to r... Read More about Low-Dimensional Metal-Organic Magnets as a Route toward the S = 2 Haldane Phase.

A large bioassay identifies Stb resistance genes that provide broad resistance against Septoria tritici blotch disease in the UK (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is one of the most damaging fungal diseases of wheat in Europe, largely due to the paucity of effective resistance genes against it in breeding materials. Currently dominant protection methods against this...

Chloroplast/thylakoid-rich material: A possible alternative to the chemically synthesised flow enhancer polyglycerol polyricinoleate in oil-based systems (2023)
Journal Article

Chloroplasts are abundant organelles in a diverse range of plant materials; they are predominantly composed of multicomponent thylakoid membranes which are lipid and protein rich. Intact or unravelled thylakoid membranes should, in principle, have in...

Chronic pain in people living with dementia: challenges to recognising and managing pain, and personalising intervention by phenotype (2023)
Journal Article

Pain is common in people with dementia, and pain can exacerbate the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Effective pain management is challenging, not least in people with dementia. Impairments of cognition, communication and abstract...

International business and Africa: Theoretical and applied challenges, and future directions (2023)
Journal Article

In response to Nachum et al.’s (J Int Bus Stud, 2023) call for further research in Africa by international business (IB) scholars, we argue that while IB scholars may have been slow to engage with Africa, the same cannot be said of related and IB-rel...

Reentry support in Victoria, Australia: managing risk, or fostering agency? (2023)
Journal Article

More than half of Australia’s prison population have experienced prior incarceration. Factors such as homelessness, mental illness, and poverty compound the challenges of reentry. Reentry support in Victoria, Australia is state funded, yet delivered... Read More about Reentry support in Victoria, Australia: managing risk, or fostering agency?.

Towards Handling Uncertainty-at-Source in AI – A Review and Next Steps for Interval Regression (2023)
Journal Article

Most of statistics and AI draw insights through modelling discord or variance between sources (i.e., inter-source) of information. Increasingly however, research is focusing on uncertainty arising at the level of individual measurements (i.e., within...
