Monitoring and Analysis of Novel Psychoactive Substances in Trends Databases, Surface Web and the Deep Web, with Special Interest and Geo-Mapping of the Middle East
(2017-10-12)
BACKGROUND
Novel or new psychoactive substances (NPS), also known as designer drugs and research chemicals,
represent a relatively recent phenomenon which can be traced back to the last decade or even earlier.
The growth ...
Searching for Rotational and Activity Signals in M Dwarf Stars
(2017-06-30)
We search for signals coming from M dwarf stars through variations caused by stellar
surface activity.
The aims of this work are to find the stellar rotation period of M dwarf stars and check
them against known planetary ...
The effect of gender and load type on lower extremity biomechanics during jump landings
(2017-05-09)
Introduction: Both gender and additional load have been shown to affect landing mechanics. Females are at an increased risk of sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury and patellofemoral pain syndrome, whereas males ...
The role of global thrombosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
(2017-04-25)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, despite great efforts in designing several risk stratification models for more effective prevention of related complications and creating more advanced ...
On the Nature of Sodium Excess in Nearby Galaxies
(2017-03-13)
The 5890, 5895Å Na D absorption lines are sometimes found to be strongly enhanced in
nearby galaxies, compared to what is predicted by the best-fitting models for the stellar
continuum. The resulting Na D absorption ...
Imports, Mechanisation and the Decline of the English Plaiting Industry: The View from the Hatters' Gazette, Luton 1873 - 1900
(2017-02-10)
Between 1870 and 1900, the straw plaiting industry changed from being one that substantially contributed to local rural and family economies, to one in irrevocable decline. Researching the reasons for this decline is ...
Spectral Ageing in the Most Powerful Radio Galaxies
(2017-02-08)
Radio-loud AGN represent the most energetic and influential large-scale structures in the Universe. Through physical processes such as AGN feedback, they are suggested to play a major role in the
evolution of galaxies. ...
Calculations of Periodicity From H Alpha Profiles of Proxima Centauri
(2017-01-25)
In this report the stellar rotation signal for Proxima Centauri is investigated. High-resolution spectra taken with UVES and HARPS of Proxima Centauri over a 13-year period is used as well as photometric observations of ...
Navigation and Geolocation Within Urban and Semi-Urban Environments Using Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks
(2016-11-25)
IEEE 802.15.4 defines networks and hardware capable of low power, low data rate transmissions. The use of these networks for the “Internet of Things”, machine to machine communications, energy metering, control and automation ...
Complete Communities or Dormitory Towns? Case Studies in Interwar Housing at Welwyn Garden City, Becontree and St Helier
(2016-11-23)
Housing has always been a paramount issue; in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century attempts were made to revolutionise the problem of poor quality houses and the accompanying poor quality of life. This was set ...
