Over the last 10 years, researchers at Loughborough University have led a programme of research seeking to characterise the health and well-being of HGV drivers; and to develop bespoke health promotion interventions.This work led to the creation of the SHIFT programme – a Structured Health Intervention For Truckers – which focuses on enhancing physical...

DC Microgrids (MG) can connect various renewable generators and energy storage and play a vital role in the goal of reaching Net Zero.The overall management of a DC MG relies on reliable communication and information flow between power electronic interfaces. Dual modulation of power and data is an emerging technology for DG MGs, where data is transmitted on...

Shape, topology and chemistry of materials and structures are the ingredients to achieve multifunctionality. Combining mechanical and thermal, or permeability and bio-instructive properties in the same high-performance product require novel design, manufacture, and validation techniques, both in silico and experimentally. Traditionally this process takes a...

This study will investigate the pivotal role of wind turbine owners’ decisions and the policy alternatives aimed at increasing the integration of offshore wind energy into electricity grids. In response to escalating concerns about climate change, local air pollution, the fluctuation in fossil fuel prices, energy security challenges, and the potential...

During pregnancy, exercise has been shown to have multiple benefits for mother and baby and is actively encouraged in health guidelines worldwide. However, there can be several barriers for women which prevent them or limit their exercising habits during these periods. Some of the identified barriers could be related to the significant anatomical,...
