A Novel High Linearity and Low Power Folded CMOS LNA for UWB Receivers
(2018-03)This paper presents a high linearity and low power Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) receivers based on CHRT 0.18μm CMOS technology. In this work, the folded topology is adopted in order to reduce the ... -
A novel hybrid energy system combined with solar-road and soil-regenerator: Dynamic model and operational performance
(2018-01-15)Solar roads are emergent and huge energy source in traffic domains. To improve the energy utilization efficiency of a solar road, a novel solar-road and soil-regenerator hybrid energy system in combination with conventional ... -
A Novel Instrument for Studying the Flow Behaviour of Erythrocytes through Microchannels Simulating Human
(1997)A novel instrument has been developed to study the microrheology of erythrocytes as they flow through channels of dimensions similar to human blood capillaries. The channels are produced in silicon substrates using ... -
Novel instrumentation and biomedical applications of very near-infrared fluorescence
(1993-04)A high wavelength fluorescent probe, Nile Red, was added to four proteins, viz., bovine albumin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, beta-lactoglobulin and ovomucoid. Nile Red showed an enhancement in fluorescence and a shift in ... -
Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s “net-zero” target
(2020-12-28)We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent 'net-zero' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A 'cradle to grave' life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate ... -
Novel markers reveal subpopulations of subplate neurons in the murine cerebral cortex
(2009-08-01)The subplate lays the foundation of the developing cerebral cortex, and abnormalities have been suggested to contribute to various brain developmental disorders. The causal relationship between cellular pathologies and ... -
A novel method for computing natural path for robot assisted movements in synthetic worlds
(IOS Press, 2001)Several methods and theories have been used to create a smooth trajectory for machine assisted physiotherapy [1]. We have introduced a novel theory to create such a smooth trajectory. The mathematical model introduced in ... -
A novel method of non-clinical dispatch is associated with a higher rate of critical Helicopter Emergency Medical Service intervention
(2018-09-25)Background - Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) are a scarce resource that can provide advanced emergency medical care to unwell or injured patients. Accurate tasking of HEMS is required to incidents where advanced ... -
A novel mycovirus from Aspergillus fumigatus contains four unique double-stranded RNAs as its genome and is infectious as dsRNA
(2015-07-21)We report the discovery and characterization of a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus isolated from the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus fumigatus tetramycovirus-1 (AfuTmV-1), which reveals ... -
Novel opioids: systematic web crawling within the e-psychonauts’ scenario
(2020-03-18)Background: A wide range of novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) are regularly searched and discussed online by e-psychonauts. Among NPSs, the range of prescription/non-prescription opioids (fentanyl and non-fentanyl ... -
Novel oral anticoagulants in acute coronary syndrome
(2013-09-10)Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with a prevalence that has now reached pandemic levels as a consequence of the rapid modernization of the developing world. Its presentation ... -
The Novel Phages phiCD5763 and phiCD2955 Represent Two Groups of Big Plasmidial Siphoviridae Phages of Clostridium difficile
(2018-01-22)Until recently, Clostridium difficile phages were limited to Myoviruses and Siphoviruses of medium genome length (32–57 kb). Here we report the finding of phiCD5763, a Siphovirus with a large extrachromosomal circular ... -
A novel power factor control scheme for high-power GTO current-source converter
(1998)A novel power factor control scheme for high-power gate-turn-off thyristor current-source converters is proposed in this paper. Using both feedforward and feedback control techniques, the proposed scheme guarantees that ... -

Novel Psychoactive Substance (NPS) awareness, use and health perception following The UK Psychoactive Substances Act 2016
(2017-10-23)Introduction: The risk of potential harms prompted the UK government to introduce The Psychoactive Substances Act (PSA) in 2016 banning the production, supply, importation and exportation of NPS 1. Here we investigate UK ... -
Novel psychoactive substance consumption is more represented in bipolar disorder than in psychotic disorders : A multicenter-observational study
(2017-05)OBJECTIVE: Comorbidities between psychiatric diseases and use of traditional substances of abuse are common. Nevertheless, there are few data regarding the use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) among psychiatric ... -
