A Coxsackievirus B1-mediated nonlytic Extracellular Vesicle-to-cell mechanism of virus transmission and its possible control through modulation of EV release
(2023-09-04)Like most non-enveloped viruses, CVB1 mainly uses cell lysis to spread. Details of a nonlytic virus transmission remain unclear. Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) transfer biomolecules between cells. We show that CVB1 entry ... -
From rubber hands to neuroprosthetics: Neural correlates of embodiment
(2023-10-30)Our interaction with the world rests on the knowledge that we are a body in space and time, which can interact with the environment. This awareness is usually referred to as sense of embodiment. For the good part of the ... -
Developing a minimum data set for older adult care homes in the UK: exploring the concept and defining early core principles
(2022-03-08)Reforms to social care in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the UK and internationally, place data at the heart of proposed innovations and solutions. The principles are not well established of what constitutes core, ... -
Long-term pulse period evolution of the ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar NGC 7793 P13
(2021-07-16)Ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars (ULXPs) provide a unique opportunity to study super-Eddington accretion. We present the results of a monitoring campaign of ULXP NGC 7793 P13. Over our four-year monitoring campaign with Swift, ... -
Barium lines in high-quality spectra of two metal-poor giants in the Galactic halo
(2021-10-01)Context. Theoretical results showed the possibility that neutron capture elements were produced in the early Universe by two different sources: a frequent s-process source hosted by rotating massive stars, and a rare ... -
Co-producing a physical activity intervention with and for people with severe mental ill health–the spaces story
(2023-01-08)SPACES (Supporting Physical Activity through Co-production in people with Severe Mental Illness) is a study which aims to develop an intervention to increase physical activity created with and for people with severe mental ... -

Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy Versus Open Radical Cystectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Perioperative, Oncological, and Quality of Life Outcomes Using Randomized Controlled Trials
(2023-09-15)Context: Differences in recovery, oncological, and quality of life (QoL) outcomes between open radical cystectomy (ORC) and robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for patients with bladder cancer are unclear. Objective: ... -
Low-Profile Wideband Circularly Polarized Array Antennas Using Integrated Half-Power Quadrature Power Divider
(2022-04-11)Low-profile wideband circularly polarized (CP) array antennas using integrated half-power quadrature power divider (HP-QPD) are presented. A novel HP-QPD is first proposed as an important design concept for CP radiation. ... -
Extraction of underlying factors causing construction projects delay in Nigeria
(2021-09-07)Purpose This paper aims to establish the most underlying factors causing construction projects delay from the most applicable. Design/methodology/approach The paper conducted survey of experts using systematic review of ... -
Children’s complex health: Maternal experiences of care and decision making
(2023-03-01)An increasing number of children with complex life-limiting and life-threatening conditions are being cared for at home by their parents. Negative impacts on maternal health are now being recognised. This study sought to ... -
AlH lines in the blue spectrum of Proxima Centauri
(2022-11-30)The recently-computed ExoMol line lists for isotopologues of AlH are used to analyse the blue spectrum (4000-4500 {\AA}) of Proxima Cen (M5.5 V). Comparison of the observed and computed spectra enables the identification ... -
A student-staff partnership conducting research in higher education: An analysis of student and staff reflections
(2023-05-04)This article reports on an analysis of reflections by students and staff following a student-staff partnership which conducted a qualitative exploratory inquiry case study on student mental health in higher education. ... -
The Veneziano amplitude in AdS 5 × S 3 from an 8-dimensional effective action
(2023-08-03)We study four-point functions of arbitrary half-BPS operators in a 4-dimensional N = 2 SCFT with flavour group SO(8) at genus-zero and strong ’t Hooft coupling, corresponding — via AdS/CFT — to the (α′ expansion of the) ... -
Agent-based modelling with geographically weighted calibration for intra-urban activities simulation using taxi GPS trajectories
(2023-08-31)Human motivations are an important factor in influencing human movement. However, most existing studies on passenger travel demand prediction focus on external characteristics of movement, but neglect the influence of ... -
A comprehensive and integrated hospital decision support system for efficient and effective healthcare services delivery using discrete event simulation
(2023-12-31)The difficulty that hospital management has been experiencing over the past decade in balancing demand and capacity needs is unprecedented in the United Kingdom. Due to a shortage of capacity, hospitals cannot treat all ... -
Chemokines and chemokine receptors in colorectal cancer; multifarious roles and clinical impact
(2022-10-13)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the second cause of cancer death worldwide. The early diagnosis plays a key role in patient prognosis and subsequently overall survival. Similar to several types of cancer, colorectal ... -
