Developing microfluidic devices and techniques for isolation and detection of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)
(2020-10-09)
The purpose of this research is to develop microfluidic devices and systems for the effective isolation of bacterial Extracellular vesicles (EVs) by applying Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) operation. The purification and ...
Increasing the census of L and T dwarfs in wide binary and multiple systems using Dark Energy Survey DR1 and Gaia DR2 data
(2020-10-09)
We present the discovery of 255 binary and six multiple system candidates with wide (> 5") separation composed by L or T dwarfs companions to stars, plus nine double brown dwarf systems. The sample of brown dwarf candidates ...
The LOFAR view of FR0 radio galaxies
(2020-10-09)
We explore the low-frequency radio properties of the sources in the Fanaroff-Riley class 0 catalog (FR0CAT) as seen by the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observations at 150 MHz. This sample includes 104 compact radio active ...
Scalable cell-free massive MIMO systems with hardware impairments
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-10-08)
Despite the deleterious effect of hardware impairments (HWIs) on wireless systems, most prior works in cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (mMIMO) systems have not accounted for their impact. In particular, ...
Optimal energy efficiency in cell-free massive MIMO systems: A stochastic geometry approach
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-10-08)
The increasing demand for green wireless communications and the benefits of the promising cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (mMIMO) systems towards their optimal energy efficiency (EE) are the focal ...
Antimicrobial & antiparasitic use and resistance in British sheep and cattle: a systematic review
(2020-10-08)
A variety of antimicrobials and antiparasitics are used to treat British cattle and sheep to ensure animal welfare, a safe food supply, and maintain farm incomes. However, with increasing global concern about antimicrobial ...
A survey of the experience of living with dementia in a dementia friendly community
(2020-10-08)
Dementia Friendly Communities (DFCs) are one way in which people living with dementia can be supported to be active, engaged and valued citizens. Quantitative evaluations of the experiences of those with dementia living ...
True absolute determination of photoluminescence quantum yields by coupling multiwavelength thermal lens and photoluminescence spectroscopies
(2020-10-07)
Photoluminescence quantum yields denote a critical variable to characterise a fluorophore and its potential performance. Their determination, by means of methodologies employing reference standard materials, innevitably ...
Can medical humanities impart empathy and resilience skills to medical students?
(2020-10-06)
The contribution of the Medical Humanities to a comprehensive medical education has been discussed elsewhere (Schamroth A. 2018), but what has been difficult to demonstrate is whether it has any measurable quantitative ...
Experiences of and responses to disempowerment, violence, and injustice within the relational lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people
(2020-10-06)
This article introduces a special edition of the Journal of Sociology that aims to interrogate the ongoing entrenchment of hetero- and cis-normative borders, and the consequential manifestations of power, violence and ...
