Prediction of ligands to universally conserved binding sites of the influenza A virus nuclear export protein
(2019-11-01)
The nuclear export protein (NEP) of the influenza A virus exports viral ribonucleoproteins to the host cell cytoplasm following nuclear transcription. In this work conservation analysis of 3000 protein sequences and molecular ...
Flow characteristics and heat transfer performance in a Y-Fractal mini/microchannel heat sink
(2019-11-01)
This article presents a combined experimental and computational study to investigate the flow and heat transfer in a Y-fractal microchannel. Experimental apparatus was newly built to investigate the effect of three different ...
The Milky Way bar/bulge in proper motions: a 3D view from VIRAC & Gaia
(2019-11)
We have derived absolute proper motions of the entire Galactic bulge region from VIRAC and Gaia. We present these as both integrated on-sky maps and, after isolating standard candle red clump (RC) stars, as a function of ...
Homogeneously derived transit timings for 17 exoplanets and reassessed TTV trends for WASP-12 and WASP-4
(2019-11)
We homogeneously analyse ∼3.2 × 10 5 photometric measurements for ∼1100 transit light curves belonging to 17 exoplanet hosts. The photometric data cover 16 years (2004–2019) and include amateur and professional observations. ...
Investigation into mechanical, absorption and swelling behaviour of hemp/sisal fibre reinforced bioepoxy hybrid composites: Effects of stacking sequences
(2019-11-01)
This work focuses on the fabrication of hybrid bio-composites using green epoxy as the matrix material, hemp (H) and sisal (S) fibre mats as the reinforcements. The hybrid composite with sisal/hemp fibres were fabricated ...
Developing practical techniques for quantitative assessment of ecosystem services on farmland
(2019-11-01)
The application of the concept of ecosystem services in the context of environmental management of agricultural landscapes is a relatively new and developing topic. There is increasing demand for the delivery of ecosystem ...
Do people with intellectual disabilities understand their prescription medication? A scoping review
(2019-11-01)
Background: People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to experience poor health than the general population and are frequently prescribed multiple medications. Therefore, it is important that people with ...
MINOCA presenting with STEMI – incidence, aetiology and outcome in a contemporaneous cohort
(2019-11-01)
Historical data indicate that approximately 10% of acute coronary syndrome patients have no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) but contemporary incidence of non-obstructed coronary arteries in ST-segment elevation ...
The Lister AirSeal® port closure technique – Initial patient outcomes
(2019-11)
INTRODUCTION The 12-mm AirSeal® port is widely used in robotically assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy due to its ability to maintain stable pneumoperitoneal pressures and smoke evacuation. However, it creates a potential ...
New Hybrid Sensorless Speed of a Non-Salient Pole PMSG Coupled to Wind turbine Using a Modified Switching Algorithm
(2019-11-01)
The paper focuses on the design of position and speed observers for the rotor of a non-salient pole permanent magnet synchronous generator (NSPPMSG) coupled to a wind turbine. With the random nature of wind speed this ...
