Causal blankets : Theory and algorithmic framework
(Springer Nature, 2020-12-18)
We introduce a novel framework to identify perception-action loops (PALOs) directly from data based on the principles of computational mechanics. Our approach is based on the notion of causal blanket, which captures sensory ...
Family Narratives of Lives Where Both Parent and Child Have Been Diagnosed with Persistent Physical Symptom (PPS) Conditions
(2020-12-17)
There is a limited body of research that explores the lived experiences of families with persistent physical symptoms (PPS) conditions and no qualitative research on the intergenerational component to PPS. Existing research ...

Urinary Biomarkers: Mitigating Diagnostic Delays of Bladder Cancer in the COVID-19 era
(2020-12-17)
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a substantial increase in waiting times for cystoscopies, prompting concerns of delayed diagnoses and substandard surveillance of bladder cancer. Expanding the role of urinary biomarkers ...
Estimation and Modelling of Errors in the Library Preparation Stage of Next Generation Sequencing
(2020-12-16)
Next-generation sequencing has empowered genomics by making it possible to sequence genomes at a lower cost and less time compared to the traditional Sanger method. However, these improvements suffer from reduced accuracy ...
Experimental investigation and statistical analysis of additively manufactured onyx-carbon fiber reinforced composites
(2020-12-16)
Availability of additive manufacturing (AM) has influenced the scientific community to improve on production and versatility of the components created with several associated technologies. Adding multiple substances through ...
Literature as the Measure of our Lives
(Routledge, 2020-12-16)
In her Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Toni Morrison said: 'We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.' In this paper, I explore, with the help of Wittgenstein, how ...

(2020-12-15)
Background: Prescription drugs misuse and its related risks are considered a worldwide public health issue. Current trends show that the extent of such phenomenon may not be limited to subjects with psychiatric disorders, ...
Lattice design and 3D-printing of PEEK with Ca10(OH)(PO4)3 and in-vitro bio-composite for bone implant
(2020-12-15)
The addition of biomaterials such as Calcium hydroxyapatite (cHAp) and incorporation of porosity into poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) are effective ways to improve bone-implant interfaces and osseointegration of PEEK ...
MIGHTEE: Are giant radio galaxies more common than we thought?
(2020-12-14)
We report the discovery of two new giant radio galaxies (GRGs) using the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) survey. Both GRGs were found within a 1 deg^2 region inside the COSMOS field. ...
