The Performance of Photometric Reverberation Mapping at High Redshift and the Reliability of Damped Random Walk Models
(2019-12-20)
Accurate methods for reverberation mapping using photometry are highly sought after since they are inherently less resource intensive than spectroscopic techniques. However, the effectiveness of photometric reverberation ...
Do adjunctive art therapies reduce symptomatology in schizophrenia? A meta-analysis
(2019-12-19)
BACKGROUND: Art therapies are advocated by national bodies, such as the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, to alleviate the negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. The last decade ...
Influence of Ply Stacking Sequences on the Impact Response of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composite Laminates
(2019-12-18)
