Seasonally stable temperature gradients through supraglacial debris in the Everest region of Nepal, Central Himalaya
(2020-12-03)
Rock debris covers about 30% of glacier ablation areas in the Central Himalaya and modifies the impact of atmospheric conditions on mass balance. The thermal properties of supraglacial debris are diurnally variable but ...
Is the Urine Cannabinoid Level Measured via a Commercial Point-of-Care Semiquantitative Immunoassay a Cannabis Withdrawal Syndrome Severity Predictor?
(2020-12-03)
Background: For cannabis-dependent subjects, the relationship between cannabis withdrawal syndrome (CWS) severity and the urine cannabinoid concentrations are unclear; we investigated this using a commercial point-of-care ...
Expression of Grounded Affect: How Much Emotion Can Arousal Convey?
(Springer Nature, 2020-12-03)
In this paper we consider how non-humanoid robots can communicate their affective state via bodily forms of communication (kinesics), and the extent to which this influences how humans respond to them. We propose a simple ...
Floods, erosion, tourists and ghosts: M. R. James' and E. F. Benson's defence of the East Anglian coast in 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You My Lad', ‘A Warning to the Curious’ and E. F. Benson’s ‘A Tale of an Empty House’.
(University of Hertfordshire, 2020-12-02)
This article situates Edwardian and inter-war ghost stories by M. R. James and E. F. Benson as oblique responses to early twentieth century debates about rural environments, the impact of tourism and coastal erosion. It ...
Review of the evidence for robotic-assisted robotic cystectomy and intra-corporeal urinary diversion in bladder cancer
(2020-12-01)
Radical cystectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary diversion is the gold-standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The surgery is both complex and highly morbid. Robotic cystectomy is now in its 16th ...
Design of a Broadband Circularly Polarized Antenna by Using Axial Ratio Contour
(2020-12)
A novel method of using axial ratio (AR) contour to design a broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna is presented in this letter. By resolving a radiated CP wave into two orthogonal far-field components, the resulted ...
Atomistic simulations of interfacial deformation and bonding mechanism of Pd-Cu composite metal membrane using cold gas dynamic spray process.
(2020-12)
The creation of atomic structures and the study of the deformation processes through molecular dynamics simulations have shown many advantages. However, gaps associated with the development and evolution of microstructure ...
Family understanding and communication about an adult relative’s mental health problem: A systematic narrative review
(2020-12-01)
What is known on the subject?: Adults who support an adult family member with a severe and enduring mental health problem often experience carer burden. Over time, this often negatively affects their mental and physical ...
Perceptions regarding antimicrobial use and resistance among adult hospital patients in Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (MOH) Hospitals.
(2020-12-01)
Background: Education, a key strategy within antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs), has been mainly directed towards healthcare professionals and prescribers more than hospitalised patients. Aim: To examine patients’ ...
