Modeling of macro fiber composite actuated laminate plates and aerofoils
(2020-03-01)
This article investigates the modeling of macro fiber composite-actuated laminate plates with distributed actuator patches. The investigation details an analytical and finite element modeling, with experimental validation ...
VVV-WIT-01: highly obscured classical nova or protostellar collision?
(2020-03)
A search of the first Data Release of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey discovered the exceptionally red transient VVV-WIT-01 (H-Ks=5.2). It peaked before March 2010, then faded by ~9.5 mag over the following ...
An ALMA survey of the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey UKIDSS/UDS field : Dust attenuation in high-redshift Lyman break Galaxies
(2020-03)
We analyse 870um Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) dust continuum detections of 41 canonically-selected z~3 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), as well as 209 ALMA-undetected LBGs, in follow-up of SCUBA-2 mapping of the UKIDSS ...
Giant radio galaxies in the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey-I
(2020-03-01)
Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are a subclass of radio galaxies which have grown to megaparsec scales. GRGs are much rarer than normal sized radio galaxies ( less than 0.7 Mpc) and the reason for their gigantic sizes is still ...
Nursing workload, nurse staffing methodologies and tools : A systematic scoping review and discussion
(2020-03)
Background: The importance of nurse staffing levels in acute hospital wards is widely recognised but evidence for tools to determine staffing requirements although extensive, has been reported to be weak. Building on a ...

Local and non-local controls on a persistent cold-air pool in the Arve River Valley
(2020-02-28)
A numerical model is used to simulate a persistent cold-air pool (PCAP) event that occurred in the section of the Arve River Valley around Passy in the French Alps. During this period, an upper-level ridge from the Atlantic ...

Purpose: This study investigates the pricing decisions of the UK wholesale and retail food, beverages and tobacco sector over 2007–2016 using 19 four-digit level NACE Rev.2 classification industries. Design/methodology/approach: ...
The Association between Inter-limb Asymmetry and Athletic Performance Tasks: A Season Long Study in Elite Academy Soccer Players
(2020-02-27)
The aims of the present study were to determine the association between asymmetry and measures of speed and change of direction speed (CODS) performance throughout a competitive soccer season and, determine if any observed ...
Investigation of molecular mechanisms associated with fungicide sensitivity in Irish Pyrenopeziza brassicae populations
(2020-02-25)
Light leaf spot is amongst the most damaging diseases of oilseed rape and a significant threat to Irish crops. Unfortunately, the epidemiology of Pyrenopeziza brassicae, the agent causing this disease, remains poorly ...
