Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : A systematic review of current risk scores to predict survival
(2020-12-31)
Importance: The arrest and the post-arrest period are an incredibly emotionally traumatic time for family and friends of the affected individual. There is a need to assess prognosis early in the patient pathway to offer ...
Experimental investigation of the flame retardant and form-stable composite phase change materials for a power battery thermal management system
(2020-12-31)
An efficient battery thermal management system (BTMS) will undoubtedlypromote the performance and lifespan of battery packs. In this study, a novelflame-retarded composite PCMs composed by paraffin (PA), expanded graphite ...
An Extremely Simple Multi-Wing Chaotic System: Dynamics Analysis, Encryption Application and Hardware Implementation
(2020-12-31)
Polynomial functions have been the main barrierrestricting the circuit realization and engineering applicationof multi-wing chaotic systems (MWCSs). To eliminate thisbottleneck, we construct a simple MWCS without ...
Patient Pathway Modelling Using Discrete Event Simulation to Improve the Management of COPD
(2020-12-30)
The number of people affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing and the hospital readmission rate is remarkably high. Therefore, healthcare professionals and managers have financial and ...
Amplituhedra, and Beyond
(2020-12-29)
This review is a primer on recently established geometric methods for observables in quantum field theories. The main emphasis is on amplituhedra, i.e. geometries encoding scattering amplitudes for a variety of theories. ...
Music, art and science. : An interdisciplinary liberal approach to teaching and research within higher education
(2020-12-28)
There has been a consistent trend in Western HE systems for course structures to become increasingly focused; the ‘art school’ or ‘conservatoire’ competing against unique, and potentially obscure, areas of study within the ...

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 ...
Exploring Constraints of Business Productivity in a Province Nearby the Country Capital: The Case of the UK and Vietnam
(2020-12-28)
In the digital era, the socio-economic and technological environment is changing continuously. Business productivity is becoming a more and more significant issue in the economy and it is essential to find out what motivates ...
A low frequency study of linear polarization in radio galaxies
(2020-12-26)
Radio galaxies are linearly polarized -- an important property that allows us to infer the properties of the magnetic field of the source and its environment. However at low frequencies, Faraday rotation substantially ...
