Magnitude or Direction? Seasonal Variation of Inter-limb Asymmetry in Elite Academy Soccer Players
(2022-04-30)Previous research has highlighted a distinct lack of longitudinal data for asymmetry. The aims of the present study were to provide seasonal variation data for the magnitude and direction of asymmetry. Eighteen elite male ... -
Glass-ceramic joining of Fe22Cr porous alloy to Crofer22APU: interfacial issues and mechanical properties
(2022-10-01)This work deals with the joining of porous Fe22Cr ferritic stainless steel to a dense Crofer22APU plate by using a silica-based, Ba-containing glass-ceramic. The chemical and interfacial stability and the mechanical ... -
Understanding the Evolving Nature of Novel Psychoactive Substances: Mapping 10 Years of Research
(2023-09-28)Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) is an umbrella term used to describe a heterogeneous group of compounds that mimic the effects of existing drugs and whose demand and use rapidly emerge, change, or even vanish in the ... -
Facilitating reflection: a review and synthesis of the factors enabling effective facilitation of reflective practice
(2022-08-30)Reflective practice is an inherently personal and relational process, occurring privately within people, and publicly, between people. Consequently, given it positively impacts on professional practice, it has become a ... -
Development of a New Dislodgeable Foliar Residue Analytical Laboratory Method for Pesticides
(2022-10-11)The dislodgeable foliar residue (DFR) is the amount of pesticide that exists on foliage after the pesticide has dried and which could dislodge to the skin or clothes of workers and is a key parameter for non-dietary risk ... -
