Radio constraints on dark matter annihilation in Canes Venatici I with LOFAR
(2020-06-13)
Dwarf galaxies are dark matter-dominated and therefore promising targets for the search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which are well-known candidates for dark matter. Annihilation of WIMPs produce ...
Point-of-care Platelet Function Tests: Relevance to Arterial Thrombosis and Opportunities for Improvement
(2020-06-11)
Studies using whole blood platelet aggregometry as a laboratory research tool, provided important insights into the mecha- nism and modulators of platelet aggregation. Subsequently, a number of point-of-care (POC) platelet ...
Tracking and treating malnutrition: a retrospective observational study of the nutritional status of vulnerable people accessing a meals-on-wheels (MOW) service
(2020-06-11)
Aim: The aims of the study were to describe the characteristics of meals-on-wheels (MOW) recipients, including prevalence of malnutrition amongst those who have received input from the Nutrition and Wellbeing Service (NWS) ...
High-resolution VLA Imaging of Obscured Quasars : Young Radio Jets Caught in a Dense ISM
(2020-06-10)
We present new subarcsecond-resolution Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) imaging at 10 GHz of 155 ultraluminous (L bol ∼ 1011.7-1014.2 L o˙) and heavily obscured quasars with redshifts z ∼ 0.4-3. The sample was selected ...
Robust Multimode Function Synchronization of Memristive Neural Networks with Parameter Perturbations and Time-Varying Delays
(2020-06-10)
Currently, some works on studying complete synchronization of dynamical systems are usually restricted to its two special cases: 1) power-rate synchronization and 2) exponential synchronization. Therefore, how to give a ...
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 may mediate disease severity in COVID-19
(2020-06-09)
Identification of vulnerability to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is extremely important and might allow optimised shielding and easing of lockdown. The disease is attributed to the severe acute respiratory ...
Plant root-exudates recruit hyperparasitic bacteria of phytonematodes by altered cuticle aging: implications for biological control strategies
(2020-06-09)
Phytonematodes are globally important functional components of the belowground ecology in both natural and agricultural soils; they are a diverse group of which some species are economically important pests, and environmentally ...
A multi-stable memristor and its application in a neural network
(2020-06-08)
Nowadays, there is a lot of study on memristorbased systems with multistability. However, there is no study on memristor with multistability. This brief constructs a mathematical memristor model with multistability. The ...
Bereavement in critical care: A narrative review and practice exploration of current provision of support services and future challenges
(2020-06-08)
This special article outlines the background to bereavement in critical care and scopes the current provision and evidence for bereavement support following death in critical care. Co-authored by a family member and former ...
A review of nutritional requirements for adults aged ≥65y in the UK
(2020-06-08)
Appropriate dietary choices in later life may reduce the risk of chronic diseases and rate of functional decline, however, there is little well-evidenced age-specific nutritional guidance in the UK for older adults, making ...
