Why do extremely massive disc galaxies exist today?
(2020-06-01)
Galaxy merger histories correlate strongly with stellar mass, largely regardless of morphology. Thus, at fixed stellar mass, spheroids and discs share similar assembly histories, both in terms of the frequency of mergers ...
Firing multistability in a locally active memristive neuron model
(2020-06-01)
The theoretical, numerical and experimental demonstrations of firing dynamics in isolated neuron are of great significance for the understanding of neural function in human brain. In this paper, a new type of locally active ...
Experimental and numerical study of behaviour of reinforced masonry walls with NSM CFRP strips subjected to combined loads
(2020-06-01)
Near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibers reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement is one of the techniques for reinforcing masonry structures and is considered to provide significant advantages. This paper is composed of ...
'If the cap fits?' Probation staff and the changing nature of supervision in a Community Rehabilitation Company
(2020-06-01)
This article explores the changing nature of supervision in a Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) following the Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) reforms to probation services in England and Wales. Based on an ethnographic ...
The development of species-specific antisense peptide nucleic acid method for the treatment and detection of viable Salmonella
(2020-06)
Genotypic based detection methods using specific target sites in the pathogen genome can complement phenotypic identification. We report the development of species-specific antisense peptide nucleic acid (PNA) combined ...
Review of Multiaxial Testing for Very High Cycle Fatigue: From ‘Conventional’ to Ultrasonic Machines
(2020-06)
Fatigue is one of the main causes for in service failure of mechanical components and structures. With the development of new materials, such as high strength aluminium or titanium alloys with different microstructures ...
Analyzing why Organizations Differ in Board Composition. Evidence from a Large Panel of Greek Manufacturing Firms: Board Composition of Greek Manufacturing Firms
(2020-06-01)
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 ...
Enhanced follicular delivery of finasteride to human scalp skin using heat and chemical penetration enhancers
(2020-05-31)
Purpose The aim of this work was to evaluate whether improved topical delivery of finasteride, focussed to the hair follicles of human scalp skin could be achieved with application of short durations of heat and use of ...
Unveiling the effect of interacting forecasted abiotic factors on growth and aflatoxin B1 production kinetics by Aspergillus flavus
(2020-05-30)
The aim was to decipher the temporal impact of key interacting climate change (CC) abiotic factors of temperature (30 vs 37 °C), water activity (aw; 0.985 vs 0.930) and CO2 exposure (400 vs 1000 ppm) on (a) growth of ...
Social ecological interventions to increase physical activity in children and young people living with and beyond cancer: a systematic review
(2020-05-29)
Objective: To identify the behaviour change techniques and intervention components associated with the promotion of physical activity (PA) for children and young people living with and beyond cancer. Design and main outcome ...
