Intermolecular interactions and energetics in the crystalline π–π stacks and associated model dimer systems of asymmetric halogenated diketopyrrolopyrroles
(2016-03-02)
Four novel structurally analogous asymmetric, halogenated N-benzyl substituted diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPP) have been synthesized, and their crystal structures obtained. All four crystal structures exhibit π–π stacks with ...
Board Diving Regulations in Public Swimming Pools and Risk of Injury
(2015-11-17)
Public session access to diving boards is one of the stepping stones for those wishing to develop their skills in the sport of diving. The extent to which certain dive forms are considered risky (forward/backward/rotations) ...
Detecting a signal in the noise : Monitoring the global spread of novel psychoactive substances using media and other open source information
(2015-07)
To determine the feasibility and utility of using media reports and other open-source information collected by the Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN), an event-based surveillance system operated by the Public ...
Endogenous Fibrinolysis : An Important Mediator of Thrombus Formation and Cardiovascular Risk
(2015-04-28)
Most acute cardiovascular events are attributable to arterial thrombosis. Plaque rupture or erosion stimulates platelet activation, aggregation, and thrombosis, whilst simultaneously activating enzymatic processes that ...
Patients’ preferences for nutrition-related health outcomes in liver disease : a preliminary study using an electronic questionnaire
(2015-01-27)
Background: Patients with liver disease frequently have nutritional problems but intervening to improve these is challenging. Healthcare interventions that respond to patients’ needs are associated with better health ...
The “Eyeballing” technique : an emerging and alerting trend of alcohol misuse
(2015)
Alternative methods of alcohol consumption have recently emerged among adolescents and young adults, including the alcohol “eyeballing”, which consist in the direct pouring of alcoholic substances on the ocular surface ...
The diffusion of Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) on the internet : The abuse of the cognitive enhancer Piracetam
(2014-12-06)
Introduction: Performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs), also known as “lifestyle drugs,” are increasingly sold on the Internet to enhance cognitive as well as sexual, muscular, attentive, and other natural capacities. ...
Climate change: Time to Do Something Different
(2014-11)
There is now very little, if any, doubt that the global climate is changing and that this is in some way related to human behaviour through unsustainable preferences in lifestyle and organisational practices. Despite the ...
Protection Versus Pathology in Aviremic and High Viral Load HIV-2 Infection : The Pivotal Role of Immune Activation and T-cell Kinetics
(2014-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Many human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-2-infected individuals remain aviremic and behave as long-term non-progressors but some progress to AIDS. We hypothesized that immune activation and T-cell turnover would ...
Impact of systematic structural variation on the energetics of π−π stacking interactions and associated computed charge transfer integrals of crystalline diketopyrrolopyrroles
(2014-07-28)
Control over solid state structure is critical for effective performance in optoelectronic devices bearing π-conjugated charge mediating organic materials. A series of five structurally related N-benzyl-substituted ...
