The benzydamine experience: A systematic review of Benzydamine abuse
(2021-01-13)
Background: Both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs recently emerged among novel psychoactive substances (NPS) being reported as ingested for recreational purposes. Among them, benzydamine (BZY), normally ...
A multi-stakeholder approach to the co-production of the research agenda for medicines optimisation
(2021-01-13)
BACKGROUND: Up to 50% of medicines are not used as intended, resulting in poor health and economic outcomes. Medicines optimisation is 'a person-centred approach to safe and effective medicines use, to ensure people obtain ...
The origin of low-surface-brightness galaxies in the dwarf regime
(2021-01-13)
Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) -- defined as systems that are fainter than the surface-brightness limits of past wide-area surveys -- form the overwhelming majority of galaxies in the dwarf regime (M* < 10^9 MSun). ...
Zero Tillage Systems Conserve Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Enhancing Soil Glomalin and Water Stable Aggregates with Implications for Soil Stability
(2021-01-13)
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic symbiotic relationships with approxi-mately 80% of terrestrial plant species, while producing the glycoprotein glomalin as a structural support molecule along their mycelial ...
An integrated approach to simulate gas turbine secondary air system
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021-01-11)
One of the most critical parts of a modern gas turbine that its reliability and performance has a great influence on cycle efficiency is the secondary air system (SAS). Modern systems functions to supply not only cooling ...

The MECCANO Dataset: Understanding Human-Object Interactions from Egocentric Videos in an Industrial-like Domain.
(2021-01-09)
Wearable cameras allow to collect images and videos of humans interacting with the world. While human-object interactions have been thoroughly investigated in third person vision, the problem has been understudied in ...
Energy expenditure estimates in chronic kidney disease using a novel physical activity questionnaire
(2021-01-08)
BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) levels are low in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), and associate with increased morbidity and mortality. Reliable tools to assess PA in CKD are scarce. We aimed to ...
SARS-CoV-2: characterisation and mitigation of risks associated with aerosol generating procedures in dental practices
(2021-01-07)
Introduction: The objectives were to characterise the particle size distribution of aerosols generated by standard dental aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) and to assess the impact of aerosol-management interventions ...
