Changes in the number of new takeaway food outlets associated with adoption of management zones around schools: A natural experimental evaluation in England
(2024-03-19)By the end of 2017, 35 local authorities (LAs) across England had adopted takeaway management zones (or “exclusion zones”) around schools as a means to curb proliferation of new takeaways. In this nationwide, natural ... -
A Novel Epigenetic Strategy to Concurrently Block Immune Checkpoints PD-1/PD-L1 and CD155/TIGIT in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(2024-04-17)Tumor microenvironment is an intricate web of stromal and immune cells creating an immune suppressive cordon around the tumor. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), Tumor microenvironment is a formidable barrier towards novel ... -
Spontaneous Reperfusion in STEMI: its mechanisms and possible modulation
(2024-03-12)Patients with transient ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or spontaneous reperfusion, which occurs in approximately 20% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), have smaller infarcts ... -
Using Ensemble Data Mining Modelling for Nonbinary Overflow Detection in Urban Flooding
(2023-04-28)Application of data-driven modelling especially using data mining techniques in flood warning systems has received significant attention recently due mainly to its well-explored sustainable solution for alleviating disruptive ... -
Real-Time Urban Flood Forecasting: Application of Hybrid Modelling Using Both Physically based and Data-Driven models
(2023-04-28)Today, urban flood forecasting is modelled well by hydrologists through physically based models in which different weather data, characteristics of catchments and streams/conduits are used as inputs to provide water level ... -
Real-time flood overflow forecasting in Urban Drainage Systems by using time-series multi-stacking of data mining techniques
(2023-04-28)Overflow forecasting in early warning systems is acknowledged as an essential task for devastating urban flood risk management. Although many machine learning models have been developed recently to forecast water levels ... -
Linear polarization signatures of atmospheric dust with the SolPol direct-sun polarimeter
(2023-10-12)Dust particles in lofted atmospheric layers may present a preferential orientation, which could be detected from the resulting dichroic extinction of the transmitted sunlight. The first indications were provided relatively ... -
Effects of infill density on mechanical properties of additively manufactured chopped carbon fiber reinforced PLA composites
(2024-05-08)In this present study, the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method was used to fabricate the composites. Before three-dimensional (3D) printing, samples were designed according to the ASTM D256, D790 and D3039 standards for ... -
The verification of periodicity with the use of recurrent neural networks
(2024-04-23)The ability to automatically and robustly self-verify periodicity present in time-series astronomical data is becoming more important as data sets rapidly increase in size. The age of large astronomical surveys has rendered ... -
Event-based Flood Data Imputation for Infilling Missing Data in Real-time Flood Warning Systems
(2023-04-28)Real-time flood warning systems as part of digital and innovative non-structural solutions have been widely used to prepare decision makers, operators, and affected population to alleviate socio-economic flooding consequences ... -
Behaviour Change Strategies to Influence Antimicrobial Stewardship During COVID-19 Pandemic in acute care settings.
(2021-06-22)This research explores the effectiveness of Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) interventions, focusing on behavioural change strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic in acute care settings. Employing a systematic literature ... -
An investigation into the effectiveness of antimicrobial stewardship during a pandemic- COVID-19 in acute care setting
(PROSPERO registration, 2021-03-15)Review question 1. What strategies have been employed for effective antibiotic utilization/antimicrobial stewardship during pandemics? 2. What challenges have arisen in the use of antibiotics due to pandemics? 3. What ... -
Three Minutes Thesis: Factors Affecting Antibiotics Use Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
(2022-07-07)This three-minute thesis (3MT) delves into the factors influencing antibiotic use before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pre-pandemic factors like clinician prescribing habits and patient demand drove antibiotic overuse. ... -
Seeing the impossible: the impact of watching magic on positive emotions, optimism, and wellbeing
(2024-04-30)Watching a magic trick is a unique experience in which seemingly impossible events appear possible but without any suspension of disbelief. Unfortunately, relatively little work has examined the psychological impact of ... -
