(2021-09-26)
Fatigue experienced during post-stroke rehabilitation and its implications for the therapy outcome are often overlooked in existing rehabilitation programmes. Past studies have shown that intensive and repetitive robot-mediated ...
The Physical Processes that Drive Galaxy Evolution - from Massive Galaxies to the Dwarf Regime
(2021-09-25)
The study of galaxy formation and evolution is a cornerstone in astrophysics, as galaxies connect together all scales of the Universe. The physical processes that govern galaxies therefore needs to be fully understood if ...

(2021-09-15)
This qualitative extended study explored 20 health visitors’ (HVs’) perceptions of their professional identity and their experience of living through a time of significant service change. Specifically, it investigated, ...
Investigation of the Physical and Physiochemical Relationships in Nanoparticles and their Attributions to Antimicrobial Activities
(2021-09-02)
Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health, as bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics leading to failure of treatments. This PhD project investigated the physical, chemical ...
Learning Feature Weights for Density-Based Clustering
(2021-09-01)
K-Means is the most popular and widely used clustering algorithm. This algorithm
