Heavy Metal Rejection Performance and Mechanical Performance of Cellulose Nanofibril Reinforced Cellulose Acetate Membranes
(2024-10-02)In this research, cellulose acetate (CA) and CA nanocomposite membranes, reinforced with mass fractions of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), are prepared using the phase separation technique. The membranes are extensively ... -
The lived experience of co-production: Reflective accounts from the InCLUDE project
(2024-10-14)Background: The value of co-produced research in health and social care is increasingly recognised, but accounts into the processes and individual experiences of co-producing research are lacking. This paper describes the ... -
A referrals audit and qualitative analysis of staff experience of referrals in a specialist community learning disability service
(2024-03-29)Specialist community teams are set up to support people living with Learning Disability (LD) who are unable to access mainstream mental health (MH) teams with reasonable adjustments. National guidance is available to guide ... -
Ionized Gas Extended Over 40 kpc in an Odd Radio Circle Host Galaxy
(2024-01-08)A new class of extragalactic astronomical sources discovered in 2021, named Odd Radio Circles (ORCs, Norris et al. 2021), are large rings of faint, diffuse radio continuum emission spanning ~1 arcminute on the sky. Galaxies ... -
Nutrient intake and food selectivity in children with Tourette syndrome
(2024-10-02)Objectives: Children with Tourette syndrome (TS) have been shown to exhibit high levels of food selectivity; however, its association with nutritional status has yet to be explored. The current study explored macro and ... -
Using patient and care partner experiences to confirm outcomes of relevance for inclusion in a core outcome set for trials of physical rehabilitation in critical illness: A qualitative interview study
(2024-11-30)Background Incorporating the perspectives of patients and care partners is crucial in the development of core outcome sets. One effective approach for achieving this involvement is by seeking input to refine the outcomes ... -
Harnessing Nano-synergy: A comprehensive study of thermophysical characteristics of silver, beryllium oxide, and silicon carbide in hybrid nanofluid formulations
(2024-11-15)Nanofluids, promising to improve heat transfer efficiency, encounter stability anddurability challenges, hindering their industrial applications. The emerging concept ofhybrid nanofluids, alongside surfactant-driven stability ... -
Radial velocity analysis of stars with debris discs
(2024-11-01)This study aims to identify potential exoplanet signals from nearby stars with resolved debris discs. However, the high activity of many stars with debris discs limits the detection of periodic signals. Our study is ... -
Experimental study on steady-state performance of an axial grooved heat pipe under rotational condition
(2024-12-15)This study explores the performance optimization of grooved heat pipes under rotational conditions, focusing on both straight and curved designs. To address the challenges posed by centrifugal forces in rotating systems, ... -
Triggers and factors associated with moral distress and moral injury in health and social care workers: a systematic review of qualitative studies
(2024-10-15)Recent UK data collected by the British Medical Association3 suggests experience of moral distress in health and social care workers is common. Of more than 1,900 doctors surveyed, 78.4% reported that moral distress resonates ... -
Evaluating the factor structure and measurement invariance of the 20-item short version of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale across multiple countries, languages, and gender identities
(2024-07-26)The UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Model and the various psychometric instruments developed and validated based on this model are well established in clinical and research settings. However, evidence regarding the psychometric ... -
A power-adaptive neuron model and circuit implementation
(2024-10-14)Regarding the performance degradation and battery life issues faced by mobile smart devices during low energy supply, this article thoroughly explores the strategies employed by biological neurons to stabilize spike emission ... -
Use of zero-dimensional modelling to predict performance and assess feasibility of solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid system
(2024-08-10)This study looks at a steady state and a dynamic model of a solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system. The steady state model is used to perform a sensitivity analysis of the system’s electrical efficiency to ... -
JADES + JEMS: A Detailed Look at the Buildup of Central Stellar Cores and Suppression of Star Formation in Galaxies at Redshifts 3 < z < 4.5
(2024-10-09)We present a spatially resolved study of stellar populations in six galaxies with stellar masses M * ∼ 1010 M ☉ at z ∼ 3.7 using 14-filter James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam imaging from the JADES and JEMS surveys. ... -
