Eigengalaxies: describing galaxy morphology using principal components in image space
(2020-09-02)We demonstrate how galaxy morphologies can be represented by weighted sums of "eigengalaxies" and how eigengalaxies can be used in a probabilistic framework to enable principled and simplified approaches in a variety of ... -
A New Approach to Demand Response in a Microgrid Based on Coordination Control between Smart Meter and Distributed Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Unit
(2020-09-03)Energy storage and demand response are becoming an increasingly valuable solution for the enhancement of stability and reliability of the electricity grid with high penetration of distributed energy sources such as wind ... -
Reviewing the sports coach mentoring literature: a look back to take a step forward
(2020-08-07)This article takes a look back, in order to take a step forward, for sports coach mentorship within both academia and practice. Consequently, this article aims to review the contemporary trends within the sports coach ... -
Genetic modifiers ameliorate endocytic and neuromuscular defects in a model of spinal muscular atrophy
(2020-09-16)Background: Understanding the genetic modifiers of neurodegenerative diseases can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying these disorders. Here, we examine the relationship between the motor neuron disease spinal ... -
The Juggler in Galilee : Hollywood's Progressives and the Establishment of Israel
(2020-09-13)The history of Hollywood ’s on-screen relationship with the State of Israel is often thought to have begun with Otto Preminger’s Exodus, an epic account of Jewish bravery in late-1940s Palestine released in 1960. This ... -

Machinability of Bio-composites: Challenges and Prospects
(2nd Conference_FLOWER Project, Advanced Biobased Materials and Composites for Engineering Applications, University of Portsmouth, England, UK, 2020-09-17)The exceptional inherent properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials and their bio-based hybrid counterparts have contributed to extensive engineering applications. These properties include, ... -
Causal Blankets: Theory and Algorithmic Framework
(2020-09-18)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 ... -
ALMA Survey of Orion Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (ALMASOP) : I. Detection of New Hot Corinos with ACA
(2020-07-29)We report the detection of four new hot corino sources, G211.47-19.27S, G208.68-19.20N1, G210.49-19.79W and G192.12-11.10 from a survey study of Planck Galactic Cold Clumps in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex with the ... -
Survivor, family and professional experiences of psychosocial interventions for sexual abuse and violence : a qualitative evidence synthesis
(2020-06-22)Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (qualitative). The objectives are as follows:. This review will gather and synthesise the experiences of interventions for survivors of sexual abuse and violence, their ... -
Completion of the sequence of the Aspergillus fumigatus partitivirus 1 genome.
(2020-05-27)A Portuguese isolate of Aspergillus fumigatus was found to contain three double-stranded (ds) RNA elements ranging in size from 1.1 to 1.8 kbp and comprising the genome of a strain of Aspergillus fumigatus partitivirus 1 ... -
Ethical challenges in researching and telling the stories of recently deceased people
(2020-08-28)This paper explores ethical challenges encountered when conducting research about, and telling, the stories of individuals who had died before the research began. Cases were explored where individuals who lived alone had ... -

Molecular Cloud Cores with High Deuterium Fraction : Nobeyama Single-Pointing Survey
(2020-08-12)We present the results of a single-pointing survey of 207 dense cores embedded in Planck Galactic Cold Clumps distributed in five different environments ($\lambda$ Orionis, Orion A, B, Galactic plane, and high latitudes) ... -
Research mentoring schemes: A personalised needs-led approach
(2020-09-16)Participating in a mentoring scheme, as mentor or mentee, is a recognised form of researcher development. Vitae (2019) define mentoring as ‘an ongoing, usually long-term, relationship between a more experienced or qualified ... -
Damage Characterisation in Composite Laminates using Vibro-Acoustic Technique
(2020-09-10)The need to characterise in-service damage in composite structures is increasingly becoming important as composites find higher utilisation in wind turbines, aerospace, automotive, marine, among others. This paper investigates ... -
2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid inhibits vascular calcification via induction of glutathione synthesis
(2020-09-12)Arterial medial calcification (AMC), the deposition of hydroxyapatite in the medial layer of the arteries, is a known risk factor for cardiovascular events. Oxidative stress is a known inducer of AMC and endogenous ... -
