Remote delivery of alcohol and/or substance misuse interventions for adults: A systematic review protocol
(2021-11-02)
Introduction: Alcohol and substance misuse are a public health priority. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that harmful alcohol use accounts for 5.1% of the global burden of disease and that 35.6 million people ...
Computational optimization of CH4/H2/CO blends in a spark-ignition engine using quasi-dimensional combustion model
(2021-11-01)
Recent research has proven that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling in combination with a genetic algorithm (GA) algorithm is an effective methodology to optimize the design of internal combustion (IC) engines. ...
Temperature oscillation of a dual compensation chamber loop heat pipe under acceleration conditions
(2021-11-01)
Loop heat pipe has a wide application in the fields of airborne electronics cooling and thermal management. However, the pertinent temperature oscillation of the loop heat pipe could lead to adverse effects on the electronics. ...
Recreational ketamine-related deaths notified to the National Programme on Substance Abuse Deaths, England, 1997-2019
(2021-11-01)
Background: Ketamine is a phencyclidine derivative with dissociative anaesthetic properties. Increasing numbers of individuals in England take ketamine recreationally. Information on deaths arising from such use in England ...
An electronic textile embedded smart cementitious composite
(2021-11-01)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) using self‐sensing cement‐based materials has been reported before, where nano‐fillers have been incorporated in cementitious matrices as functional sensing elements. A percolation threshold ...
Entrepreneurial Competencies and Alliance Success: The Role of External Knowledge Absorption and Mutual Trust
(2021-11-01)
Strategic alliances are an important option for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) when obtaining knowledge and information. Although existing studies suggest that entrepreneurial competencies (ECs) enable SMEs to ...
Effects of sand and gating architecture on the performance of foot valve lever casting components used in pump industries
(2021-11-01)
This work addresses manufacture, testing and simulation of foot valve lever (FVL) for monoblock pump industry, using a cost-effective casting design process. The impact of different types of sands, such as air-set, dry and ...
Human-Centered Design and Co-design Methodologies for Mass Customization in Housing: A Case Study Using Cloud Computing Applications.
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-01)
This research paper presents Turing: an innovative tool that approaches mass-housing design and demonstrates how cloud computing and generative design can be conjointly used via an accessible webbased application to achieve ...
High resolution spectroscopic follow-up of the most metal-poor candidates from SkyMapper DR1.1
(2021-11-01)
We present chemical abundances for 21 elements (from Li to Eu) in 150 metal-poor Galactic stars spanning -4.1 < [Fe/H] < -2.1. The targets were selected from the SkyMapper survey and include 90 objects with [Fe/H] ≤ -3 of ...
It was a Pleasure Meeting You : Towards a Holistic Model of Human-Robot Encounters
(2021-11)
Social signals are commonly used to facilitate the usability of humanoid robots. While providing the robot with an extended expressibility, these signals are often applied only in structured interactions where parts of the ...
