Is it who you are or what you do? Insights for Mobility as a Service from research on a car club
(2020-12-05)
The concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is for a personalised, one-stop travel management platform digitally unifying trip purchase and delivery across all transport modes. MaaS has potential to reduce the environmental ...
Dysregulation of TRPV4, eNOS and caveolin-1 contribute to endothelial dysfunction in the streptozotocin rat model of diabetes
(2020-12-05)
Endothelial dysfunction is a common complication in diabetes in which endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation is impaired. The aim of this study was to examine the involvement of the TRPV4 ion channel in type 1 diabetic ...
3D Hydrodynamic Simulations of Large-Scale Precessing Jets : Radio Morphology
(2020-12-04)
The prospect of relativistic jets exhibiting complex morphologies as a consequence of geodetic precession has long been hypothesised. We have carried out a 3D hydrodynamics simulation study varying the precession cone ...
Coverage Probability of Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-12-04)
Despite that ongoing and future networks become denser and increasingly irregular, prior works in the area of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (mMIMO) systems relied on the strong assumption of uniformly ...
Transport and Retrieval on ECMO: Setup and Activities of an Immersive Transport and Retrieval on ECMO Workshop
(2020-12-03)
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used for acute severe refractory cardiac and/or respiratory failure. An increasing number of patients are treated with ECMO ...
Seasonally stable temperature gradients through supraglacial debris in the Everest region of Nepal, Central Himalaya
(2020-12-03)
Rock debris covers about 30% of glacier ablation areas in the Central Himalaya and modifies the impact of atmospheric conditions on mass balance. The thermal properties of supraglacial debris are diurnally variable but ...
Is the Urine Cannabinoid Level Measured via a Commercial Point-of-Care Semiquantitative Immunoassay a Cannabis Withdrawal Syndrome Severity Predictor?
(2020-12-03)
Background: For cannabis-dependent subjects, the relationship between cannabis withdrawal syndrome (CWS) severity and the urine cannabinoid concentrations are unclear; we investigated this using a commercial point-of-care ...
Expression of Grounded Affect: How Much Emotion Can Arousal Convey?
(Springer Nature, 2020-12-03)
In this paper we consider how non-humanoid robots can communicate their affective state via bodily forms of communication (kinesics), and the extent to which this influences how humans respond to them. We propose a simple ...
Floods, erosion, tourists and ghosts: M. R. James' and E. F. Benson's defence of the East Anglian coast in 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You My Lad', ‘A Warning to the Curious’ and E. F. Benson’s ‘A Tale of an Empty House’.
(University of Hertfordshire, 2020-12-02)
This article situates Edwardian and inter-war ghost stories by M. R. James and E. F. Benson as oblique responses to early twentieth century debates about rural environments, the impact of tourism and coastal erosion. It ...
Vocem
(Music Haven, 2020-12-01)
Vocem is a musical composition published by Music Haven (December 2020) which explores a new concept of hyper-immersive music. Immersive sound is with us all the time as our ears receive sound from multiple sources and ...
