(2020-01-19)The marketisation of higher education has emerged as a global trend with a focus on using metrics to assess performance. This has led to the closer scrutiny by government in assessing value for money and effectiveness of ... -
A low-mass planet candidate orbiting Proxima Centauri at a distance of 1.5 AU
(2020-01-15)Our nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, hosts a temperate terrestrial planet. We detected in radial velocities evidence of a possible second planet with minimum mass mc sin ic = 5.8 ± 1.9M⊕ and orbital period Pc=5.21+0.26−0.22 ... -
It Takes More than Moore to Answer Existence-Questions
(2019-02-18)Several recent discussions of metaphysics disavow existence-questions, claiming that they are metaphysically uninteresting because trivially settled in the affirmative by Moorean facts. This is often given as a reason to ... -
Radio Continuum Emission as a Star Formation Tracer: Bridging the Spatial Scales
(2019-01-07)Radio continuum emission has been demonstrated to be an excellent tracer of recent star formation, yet current understanding remains empirical, and is primarily based upon integrated multi–frequency or resolved mono–chromatic ... -
‘What price widowhood?’ : The faded stardom of Norma Shearer
(Palgrave Macmillan UK, 2016-05-29)In this chapter, Lanckman uses fan magazines such as Photoplay to trace the star image of Norma Shearer from the mid1920s to the late 1930s. She focuses particularly on Shearer’s pre-Code films, such as The Divorcee, and ... -
Autonomy and Regulation in the School System in England
(Springer, 2020)The chapter examines the school system in England, concentrating on developments since 2010. During this period, a radical refashioning of the school system in England has taken place as large numbers of schools have moved ... -
Concurrent Use of Prescription Drugs and Herbal Medicinal Products Among Older Adults
(2020-01-09)Background: Polypharmacy is a recognised patient safety risk, with older adults at greater risk due to co-morbidities and reduced clearance of drugs due to ageing. However, very little is known about the concurrent use of ... -
Reducing Errors in Optical Data Transmission Using Trainable Machine Learning Methods
(2019-03-15)Reducing Bit Error Ratio (BER) and improving performance of modern coherent optical communication system is a significant issue. As the distance travelled by the information signal increases, the bit error ratio will ... -
The rates of co-occurring behavioural addictions in treatment-seeking individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder: a preliminary report
(2020-01-09)Objectives: To assess the rates of co-occurring putative ‘behavioural addictions’ in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Methods: Twenty-three international centres specialising in the treatment of OCD were ... -
Younger adolescents’ perceptions of physical activity, exergaming, and virtual reality : Qualitative intervention study
(2019-06-17)Background: Novel strategies to promote physical activity (PA) in adolescence are required. The vEngage study aims to test whether a virtual reality (VR) exergaming intervention can engage younger adolescents (aged 13 to ... -
Fathers’ experiences of caring for an adult child with psychosis: A qualitative study
(2020-01-20)Previous research exploring parental experiences of caring has highlighted both the rewarding nature and associated difficulties with this role. Within these studies the majority of parents have been mothers, resulting in ... -

Effect of frictional boundary conditions and percentage area reduction on the extrusion pressure of Aluminum AA6063 alloy using FE analysis modelling
(2020-01-21)Finite Element Analysis was carried out to describe the effect of frictional boundary conditions and percentage reduction on deformation modelling (forward extrusion) of Aluminum AA6063 alloy. Curved die profiles of regular ... -
Galaxy Zoo : the dependence of the star formation-stellar mass relation on spiral disk morphology
(2015-03-19)We measure the stellar mass-star formation rate relation in star-forming disk galaxies at z1. Of the galaxies lying significantly above the M-SFR relation in the local Universe, more than 50% are mergers. We interpret this ... -
Galaxy Zoo: evidence for Diverse Star Formation Histories through the Green Valley
(2015-04-17)Does galaxy evolution proceed through the green valley via multiple pathways or as a single population? Motivated by recent results highlighting radically different evolutionary pathways between early- and late-type galaxies, ... -
Positron Annihilation in the Galaxy
(2019-03-13)The 511 keV line from positron annihilation in the Galaxy was the first γ-ray line detected to originate from outside our solar system. Going into the fifth decade since the discovery, the source of positrons is still ... -
Big Data Scalability of BayesPhylogenies on Harvard’s Ozone 12k Cores.
(2019-02-23)Computational Phylogenetics is classed as a grand challenge data driven problem in the fourth paradigm of scientific discovery due to the exponential growth in genomic data, the computational challenge and the potential ... -
The Calais Winds took our plans away: Art therapy as shelter
