Review of the evidence for robotic-assisted robotic cystectomy and intra-corporeal urinary diversion in bladder cancer
(2020-12-01)
Radical cystectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary diversion is the gold-standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The surgery is both complex and highly morbid. Robotic cystectomy is now in its 16th ...
Design of a Broadband Circularly Polarized Antenna by Using Axial Ratio Contour
(2020-12)
A novel method of using axial ratio (AR) contour to design a broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna is presented in this letter. By resolving a radiated CP wave into two orthogonal far-field components, the resulted ...
Atomistic simulations of interfacial deformation and bonding mechanism of Pd-Cu composite metal membrane using cold gas dynamic spray process.
(2020-12)
The creation of atomic structures and the study of the deformation processes through molecular dynamics simulations have shown many advantages. However, gaps associated with the development and evolution of microstructure ...
Predicting mid-air gestural interaction with public displays based on audience behaviour
(2020-12)
Knowledge about the expected interaction duration and expected distance from which users will interact with public displays can be useful in many ways. For example, knowing upfront that a certain setup will lead to shorter ...
Family understanding and communication about an adult relative’s mental health problem: A systematic narrative review
(2020-12-01)
What is known on the subject?: Adults who support an adult family member with a severe and enduring mental health problem often experience carer burden. Over time, this often negatively affects their mental and physical ...
Perceptions regarding antimicrobial use and resistance among adult hospital patients in Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (MOH) Hospitals.
(2020-12-01)
Background: Education, a key strategy within antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs), has been mainly directed towards healthcare professionals and prescribers more than hospitalised patients. Aim: To examine patients’ ...
Development of new graphene/epoxy nanocomposites and study of cure kinetics, thermal and mechanical properties
(2020-12-01)
New graphene/polymer nanocomposites were prepared using graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and the epoxy system Epilok 60–566/Curamine 32–494. The GNPs were first dispersed into the curamine hardener using bath ultrasonication, ...
Calculation of critical speed from raw training data in recreational marathon runners
(2020-12-01)
INTRODUCTION: Critical speed (CS) represents the highest intensity at which a physiological steady state may be reached. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether estimations of CS obtained from raw training data can ...
