Using a picture-based book to support epilepsy care in clinical consultations for people with intellectual disabilities
(2024-08-19)Background and aims: People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to have epilepsy than the general population. A picture-based book, Getting on with Epilepsy, may help to improve their epilepsy management and ... -
The structural properties of nearby dwarf galaxies in low density environments - size, surface brightness and colour gradients
(2024-10-31)We use a complete sample of 211 nearby (z<0.008), dwarf (10 8 M⊙ < M ∗< 10 9.5 M⊙) galaxies in low-density environments, to study their structural properties: effective radii (R e), effective surface brightnesses (μ e), ... -
The Use of Humor in the Client–Practitioner Relationship
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2024-08-23)Increasing recognition has been given to the relationship between the client and practitioner as a means of facilitating successful consultancy outcomes. Within sport psychology, the use of humor within applied practice ... -
Exploring the Infrared Variable Sky with Machine Learning
(2024-08-13)The last decade in astronomy has seen the growth of time-series data and with it, the emergence of large surveys. Surveys such as PTF (Law et al., 2009), ZTF (Bellm et al., 2019), CoRoT (Auvergne et al., 2009), HOYS ... -
A Life Course Approach Investigating the Mechanisms Underlying the Relationship between Loneliness and Health and Wellbeing in Retired Older Adults, using Mixed Methods
(2024-04-24)Loneliness, or the negatively perceived discrepancy between desired and realised social relationships, has long been considered detrimental to health. This research sought to discover what is it that allows loneliness ... -
Climate Change Resilience: Sustainable Bioconservation Strategies for Built Heritage
(2024-07-16)Climate change poses a significant threat to the cultural and historical significance of built heritage. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and shiIing environmental condtions endanger not only the physical ... -
Life Assessment Methods for Inconel 600 as an Essential Material in Micro Gas Turbines
(2024-07-23)In this research, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to understand the mechanical behavior and fatigue characteristics of Inconel 600. The study involved a series of experimental tests and Finite Element simulations, ... -
Ultra-Survivable Mixed-Criticality Systems based on Empiric Worst-Case Execution Time and Criticality Arithmetic
(2024-07-22)Most of the existing mixed-criticality schedulers don't take into account the fact that low-criticality tasks operate as a group to implement one or more high-criticality ser- vices. Consequently, arbitrary dropping of ... -
Reuse potential of architectural glass: experimental study on the strength of used window glazing
(2024-08-02)Glass is a highly durable and infinitely recyclable material, yet in practice only a small portion of architectural glass products re-enters the value chain after its first use. An increasing rate of energy retrofits of ... -
Mining software insights: uncovering the frequently occurring issues in low-rating software applications
(2024-07-10)In today’s digital world, app stores have become an essential part of software distribution, providing customers with a wide range of applications and opportunities for software developers to showcase their work. This study ... -
Feasibility study of a solar powered hybrid micro-aerial vehicle
