Exploitation of antimicrobial nanoparticles and their applications in biomedical engineering
(2021-05-15)
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health which contributes largely to increased mortality rates and costs in hospitals. The severe and wide spread of antibiotic resistance results in limited treatment to ...
Understanding the temperature induced aggregation of silica nanoparticles decorated with temperature-responsive polymers: can a small step in the chemical structure make a giant leap for a phase transition?
(2021-05-15)
Temperature-responsive nanomaterials have gained increasing interest over the past decade due their ability to undergo conformational changes in situ, in response to a change in temperature. One class of temperature-responsive ...
Comparative Study on Chemical Kinetics Mechanisms for Methane-Based Fuel Mixtures under Engine-Relevant Conditions
(2021-05-14)
The use of natural gas in pure or in a blended form with hydrogen and syngas in spark ignition (SI) engines has received much attention in recent years. They have higher diffusion coefficient and laminar flame speed, a ...

Optimal tests to minimise bleeding and ischaemic complications in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(2021-05-13)
Patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) experience a very high frequency of bleeding and ischaemic complications, including stroke and systemic embolism. These patients require systemic ...
Theranostic NIR-active Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles
(2021-05-12)
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) based on a common solar cell material (PTB7) have been prepared, and their potential in theranostic applications based on bioimaging and photosensitizing capabilities has been ...
Fibrinolysis in platelet thrombi
(2021-05-12)
The extent and duration of occlusive thrombus formation following an arterial atherothrombotic plaque disruption may be determined by the effectiveness of endogenous fibrinolysis. The determinants of endogenous fibrinolysis ...
Trailblazing the gender revolution? Young people's understandings of gender diversity through generation and social change
(2021-05-12)
Against a backdrop of increasing cultural visibility of people who identify across, between or beyond the categories of male and female, young people have been positioned within the wider social imaginary as radical ...
