Evaluating the ≤10:1 wholegrain criterion in identifying nutrient quality and health implications of UK breads and breakfast cereals
(2017-12-26)
Objective: To evaluate the nutrient quality of breads and breakfast cereals identified using the wholegrain definition of ≤10:1 carbohydrate:fibre ratio. Design: Following a cross-sectional study design, nutritional ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of heat transfer in an array of impingement jets on a concave surface
(2017-12-25)
In this article, a combined experimental and computational study was conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of sonic impingement jets on the concave surface of the leading edge of a NACA0015 airfoil. ...
Power Quality Enhancement in Hybrid Photovoltaic-Battery System based on three–Level Inverter associated with DC bus Voltage Control
(2017-12-23)
This modest paper presents a study on the energy quality produced by a hybrid system consisting of a Photovoltaic (PV) power source connected to a battery. A three-level inverter was used in the system studied for the ...
Sport and ageing: A systematic review of the determinants and trends of participation in sport for older adults
(2017-12-22)
Background: The global population is ageing. As ageing is often associated with a decline in health, there is a need to further develop preventative health measures. Physical activity can positively influence older adults' ...
Enabling better management of patients: discrete event simulation combined with the STAR approach
(2017-12-21)
Squeezed budgets and funding cuts are expected to become a feature of the healthcare landscape in the future, forcing decision makers such as service managers, clinicians and commissioners to find effective ways of allocating ...
Radio jets in NGC 4151 where eMERLIN meets HST
(2017-12-21)
We present high-sensitivity eMERLIN radio images of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 at 1.5 GHz. We compare the new eMERLIN images to those from archival MERLIN observations in 1993 to determine the change in jet morphology in ...
The Herschel-ATLAS Data Release 2, Paper I. Submillimeter and Far-infrared Images of the South and North Galactic Poles : The Largest Herschel Survey of the Extragalactic Sky
(2017-12-21)
We present the largest submillimeter images that have been made of the extragalactic sky. The Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) is a survey of 660 deg$^2$ with the PACS and SPIRE cameras in five ...
The distribution of local star formation activity as a function of galaxy stellar mass, environment and morphology
(2017-12-21)
We present a detailed inventory of star formation in the local Universe, dissecting the cosmic star formation budget as a function of key variables that influence the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies: stellar mass, ...
Searching for Faint Comoving Companions to the α Centauri system in the VVV Survey Infrared Images
(2017-12-21)
The VVV survey has observed the southern disk of the Milky Way in the near infrared, covering 240 deg$^{2}$ in the $ZYJHK_S$ filters. We search the VVV Survey images in a $\sim$19 deg$^{2}$ field around $\alpha$ Centauri, ...
Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of fecal microbiota transplant for initial Clostridium difficile infection in intestinal microbiome
(2017-12-20)
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of fecal donor-unrelated donor mix (FMT-FURM) transplantation as first-line therapy for C. difficile infection (CDI) in intestinal microbiome. Methods We designed ...
