(2019-09-06)
Background: A reduction in pre-hospital scene time for patients with penetrating trauma is associated with reduced mortality, when combined with appropriate hospital triage. This study investigated the relationship between ...
Effects of stacking sequences on static, dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of completely biodegradable green epoxy hybrid composites
(2019-09-06)
Hybrid composites reinforced with the hemp (H) and sisal (S) in various layering arrangements were fabricated, using hot press moulding technique and their properties were investigated. The flexural, impact and thermal ...
A Robot Model of Stress-Induced Compulsive Behavior
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-09-06)
Stress is one of the potential mechanisms underlying compulsive behavior in obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. In this paper, we present a robot model and experiments investigating the interactions between internally- ...
Deciding Reachability for Piecewise Constant Derivative Systems on Orientable Manifolds
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-06)
A hybrid automaton is a finite state machine combined with some k real-valued continuous variables, where k determines the number of the automaton dimensions. This formalism is widely used for modelling safety-critical ...

Exploring Why Organisations Differ in Board Configuration: Do Organisations’ Age, Size and their Years Being Public Matter? Findings from Greek Listed Manufacturing Organisations
(British Academy of Management (BAM), 2019-09-05)
In this paper building upon several theories (agency theory, stakeholder theory and resource dependence theory) and by utilising data from 161 Greek manufacturing companies that were listed in the Athens Stock Exchange on ...
Brown dwarf census with the Dark Energy Survey year 3 data and the thin disc scale height of early L types
(2019-09-05)
In this paper we present a catalogue of 11 745 brown dwarfs with spectral types ranging from L0 to T9, photometrically classified using data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) year 3 release matched to the Vista Hemisphere ...
Evaluation of the risks of contaminating low erucic acid rapeseed with high erucic rapeseed and identification of mitigation strategies
(2019-09-04)
High erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil is under increasing demand for various industrial applications. However, many growers are concerned that if they grow the crop, they will not be able to revert to other rapeseed varieties ...
