Kaspar in the wild: Experiences from deploying a small humanoid robot in a nursery school for children with autism
(2020-07-01)
This article describes a long-term study evaluating the use of the humanoid robot Kaspar in a specialist nursery for children with autism. The robot was used as a tool in the hands of teachers or volunteers, in the absence ...
Clinical Advances in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Position Statement by the International College of Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders
(2020-07)
In this position statement, developed by The International College of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders, a group of international experts responds to recent developments in the evidence-based management of ...
Redefining the pattern of age-prospective memory-paradox: new insights on age effects in lab-based, naturalistic, and self-assigned tasks
(2020-07-01)
Prospective memory (PM) involves remembering intended actions in the future, such as posting a letter when seeing a post box (event-based PM) or making a phone call at 2:00 pm (time-based PM). Studies on aging and PM have ...
New constraints on the magnetization of the cosmic web using LOFAR Faraday rotation observations
(2020-07-01)
Measuring the properties of extragalactic magnetic fields through the effect of Faraday rotation provides a means to understand the origin and evolution of cosmic magnetism. Here, we use data from the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky ...
Are there peas in a pod when considering mobile phone and mobile applications use: A quantitative study
(2020-07)
Despite the acknowledgement of the significance of income, affordability and cultural factors in using mobilephones research, there are few studies on how these factors affect females’ use of mobile technology. Hence, ...
Sustainable Agriculture for Climate Change Adaptation
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-07-01)
As we lie firmly entrenched within what many have termed the Anthropocene, the time of humans, human influence on the functioning of the planet has never been greater or in greater need of mitigation. Climate change, the ...
An ALMA survey of the brightest sub-millimetre sources in the SCUBA-2 COSMOS field
(2020-07-01)
We present an ALMA study of the ~180 brightest sources in the SCUBA-2 map of the COSMOS field from the S2COSMOS survey, as a pilot study for AS2COSMOS - a full survey of the ~1,000 sources in this field. In this pilot we ...
Stellar migrations and metal flows -- Chemical evolution of the thin disc of a simulated Milky Way analogous galaxy
(2020-07-01)
In order to understand the roles of metal flows in galaxy formation and evolution, we analyse our self-consistent cosmological chemo-dynamical simulation of a Milky Way like galaxy during its thin-disc phase. Our simulated ...
Antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome
(2020-07-01)
Abstract: Acute coronary syndrome and atrial fibrillation are both common, and can occur in the same patient. Combination therapy with dual antiplatelet therapy and oral anticoagulation increases risk of bleeding. Where ...
