Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : A systematic review of current risk scores to predict survival
(2020-12-31)
Importance: The arrest and the post-arrest period are an incredibly emotionally traumatic time for family and friends of the affected individual. There is a need to assess prognosis early in the patient pathway to offer ...
Experimental investigation of the flame retardant and form-stable composite phase change materials for a power battery thermal management system
(2020-12-31)
An efficient battery thermal management system (BTMS) will undoubtedlypromote the performance and lifespan of battery packs. In this study, a novelflame-retarded composite PCMs composed by paraffin (PA), expanded graphite ...
An Extremely Simple Multi-Wing Chaotic System: Dynamics Analysis, Encryption Application and Hardware Implementation
(2020-12-31)
Polynomial functions have been the main barrierrestricting the circuit realization and engineering applicationof multi-wing chaotic systems (MWCSs). To eliminate thisbottleneck, we construct a simple MWCS without ...
Application of Quality Function Deployment to the Management of Information Physical Security
(2020-12-31)
Information physical security (IPS) refers to the prevention from intended attacks against all material devices and to the protection against deliberate attacks by supporting and managing related data/information. Information ...
Patient Pathway Modelling Using Discrete Event Simulation to Improve the Management of COPD
(2020-12-30)
The number of people affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing and the hospital readmission rate is remarkably high. Therefore, healthcare professionals and managers have financial and ...
Amplituhedra, and Beyond
(2020-12-29)
This review is a primer on recently established geometric methods for observables in quantum field theories. The main emphasis is on amplituhedra, i.e. geometries encoding scattering amplitudes for a variety of theories. ...
Music, art and science. : An interdisciplinary liberal approach to teaching and research within higher education
(2020-12-28)
There has been a consistent trend in Western HE systems for course structures to become increasingly focused; the ‘art school’ or ‘conservatoire’ competing against unique, and potentially obscure, areas of study within the ...
Exploring Constraints of Business Productivity in a Province Nearby the Country Capital: The Case of the UK and Vietnam
(2020-12-28)
In the digital era, the socio-economic and technological environment is changing continuously. Business productivity is becoming a more and more significant issue in the economy and it is essential to find out what motivates ...

Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s “net-zero” target
(2020-12-28)
We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent 'net-zero' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A 'cradle to grave' life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate ...
