Codesigning a systemic discharge intervention for inpatient mental health settings (MINDS): a protocol for integrating realist evaluation and an engineering-based systems approach
(2023-09-13)Introduction: Transition following discharge from mental health hospital is high risk in terms of relapse, readmission and suicide. Discharge planning supports transition and reduces risk. It is a complex activity involving ... -
Box–Behnken design of thermo-responsive nano-liposomes loaded with a platinum( iv ) anticancer complex: evaluation of cytotoxicity and apoptotic pathways in triple negative breast cancer cells †
(2023-09-15)Herein, thermo-responsive liposomes (TLs) loaded with Asp (Asp/TLs) were produced by self-assembling DPPC, DSPE-PEG2000, and cholesterol. The preparation variables were optimized using the Box–Behnken design (BBD). The ... -
Remaking critical care: Place, body work and the materialities of care in the COVID intensive care unit
(2023-09-13)In this article, we take forward sociological ways of knowing care-in-practice, in particular work in critical care. To do so, we analyse the experiences of staff working in critical care during the first wave of the ... -
‘If you're a male primary teacher, there's a big “why are you doing that? What is wrong with you?”’ Gendered expectations of male primary teachers: The ‘double bind’
(2023-09-12)The underrepresentation of men in non‐traditional fields of work is often attributed to essentialist gendered beliefs that associate such roles exclusively with women. This phenomenon is not limited to any specific country ... -
Birth Supporters experiences of attending prisoners being compulsorily separated from their new-born babies
(2023-05-24)There is growing evidence demonstrating increased mental ill-health in women compulsorily separated from their babies. For imprisoned women, the risk of self-harm and suicide may be further exacerbated. Birth supporters ... -
Physiological demands of fencing: A Narrative review
(2023-05-06)Background and Aim Fencers compete over long competition days (9-11 hours) wearing full body protective clothing whilst performing high-intensity explosive movements interspersed with low intensity preparatory or recovery ... -
Emotion Mapping: Exploring Creative Methods to Understand the Psychology of Long-term Injury
(2022-03-30)This methodological study details the effectiveness of emotion mapping as a method to explore the lived experiences of professional male athletes (n = 9) with a long-term injury. This represents the first use of emotion ... -
A variable active galactic nucleus at $z=2.06$ triply-imaged by the galaxy cluster MACS J0035.4-2015
(2023-07-31)We report the discovery of a triply imaged active galactic nucleus (AGN), lensed by the galaxy cluster MACS J0035.4−2015 (z d = 0.352). The object is detected in Hubble Space Telescope imaging taken for the RELICS program. ... -
Effect of radiation on laminar flame speed determination in spherically propagating NH3-air, NH3/CH4-air and NH3/H2-air flames at normal temperature and pressure
(2023-11-30)The use of spherically propagating flames is common for measuring the laminar flame speed in NH3-air, NH3/CH4-air and NH3/H2-air mixtures. However, the radiation-induced uncertainty in such mixtures has not been thoroughly ... -
Low-Cost Wide-Angle Beam-Scanning Transmitarray Antennas Using Lens-Loaded Patch Elements: A Proof-of-Concept Study
(2023-08-23)In this letter, a novel design concept to achieve a low-cost wide-angle beam-scanning transmitarray (TA) using lens-loaded patch (LLP) elements is presented. In this design, each TA element consists of a beam switchable ... -
The Contested Right of Public Meeting in England from the Bill of Rights to the Public Order Acts
(2022-12-02)The 'right of public meeting' has historically been a key demand of extra-parliamentary political movements in England. This paper examines how public assembly came to be perceived as a legally protected right, and how ... -
Using video consultation technology between care homes and health and social care professionals: a scoping review and interview study during COVID-19 pandemic
(2022-02-02)Background the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected care home residents’ and staffs’ access to health care and advice. Health and social care professionals adapted rapidly to using video consultation (videoconferencing) ... -
Abundance uncertainties obtained with the PIZBUIN framework for Monte Carlo reaction rate variations
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2018-04-25)Uncertainties in nucleosynthesis models originating from uncertainties in astrophysical reaction rates were estimated in a Monte Carlo variation procedure. Thousands of rates were simultaneously varied within individual, ... -
Nuclear reactions for nucleosynthesis beyond Fe
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2015-10-15)Many more nuclear transitions have to be known in the determination of stellar reactivities for trans-iron nucleosynthesis than for reactions of light nuclei. This requires different theoretical and experimental approaches. ... -
Erratum: Measurement of the Ge 70 (n,γ) cross section up to 300 keV at the CERN n_TOF facility (Physical Review C (2019) 100 (045804) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevC.100.045804)
(2023-03-27)An error was discovered in the neutron flux used to normalize the 70Ge(n, γ) data. The same error affects data in Ref. [1] and a separate correction will be published. Updated resonance kernels are printed in Tables I and ... -
Measurement of the N 14 (n,p) C 14 cross section at the CERN n_TOF facility from subthermal energy to 800 keV
(2023-06-29)Background: The N14(n,p)C14 reaction is of interest in neutron capture therapy, where nitrogen-related dose is the main component due to low-energy neutrons, and in astrophysics, where N14 acts as a neutron poison in the ... -
