The Origin of High-energy Emission in the Young Radio Source PKS 1718–649
(2022-12-12)We present a model for the broadband radio-to-γ-ray spectral energy distribution of the compact radio source PKS 1718 − 649. Because of its young age (≃100 yr) and proximity (z = 0.014), PKS 1718 − 649 offers a unique ... -
Organization culture types and the replication of transferred human resource management practices in multinational subsidiaries in Nigeria
(2023-03-21)Purpose: Given that institutional and cultural factors affect the transfer of HRM practices between multinational companies (MNCs) and their subsidiaries, the paper set out to investigate the explanatory mechanism for the ... -
A sense of space: the separation of dress and body in microgravity
(2021-10-07)In microgravity, the astronaut’s body is suspended in a void, separated from its surroundings except where measures have been taken to tether it to a surface. The experience of weightlessness can be characterised as ... -
A NuSTAR and Swift View of the Hard State of MAXI J1813-095
(2022-08-01)We present an analysis of the NuSTAR and Swift spectra of the black hole candidate MAXI J1813−095 in a failed-transition outburst in 2018. The NuSTAR observations show evidence of reflected emission from the inner region ... -
Psychiatric inpatient admissions and discharges of people with intellectual disabilities: A time series analysis of English national data
(2022-12-14)Background: We examined whether a series of variables were related to the number of psychiatric inpatients using publicly available data about English psychiatric bed utilisation and NHS workforce. Method: Using linear ... -
Assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the West Africa medicines regulatory harmonization initiative by the member countries
(2022-11-25)Background: The West Africa Health Organization launched the West Africa Medicines Regulatory Harmonization Project (WA-MRH) in 2017 with the overarching objective to improve the availability of high-quality, safe and ... -
Catching Element Formation In The Act
(2019-03-31)Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects and phenomena: stars, supernovae, novae, ... -
Influencing Sub-Contracted Operatives’ Attitudes and Behaviours Towards Improved Health and Safety Culture in Construction
(2022-12-22)Purpose: Health and safety is an important issue in workplaces, and despite safety procedures becoming more strict, serious accidents are still happening within the UK construction sector. This demonstrates poor performance ... -
Co-operatives for Sustainable Development
(2022-12-13)Co-operatives are recogniszed as important vectors for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development because they promote democracy, ensure fair income ... -
Human-Machine Collaboration in the Teaching of Proof
(2023-02-02)This paper argues that interactive theorem provers (ITPs) could play an important role in fostering students’ appreciation and understanding of proof and of mathematics in general. It shows that the ITP Lean has three ... -
Faraday tomography of LoTSS-DR2 data : I. Faraday moments in the high-latitude outer Galaxy and revealing Loop III in polarisation
(2022-07-01)Context. Observations of synchrotron emission at low radio frequencies reveal a labyrinth of polarised Galactic structures. However, the explanation for the wealth of structures remains uncertain due to the complex ... -
The discovery of a radio galaxy of at least 5 Mpc
(2022-04-01)Context. Giant radio galaxies (GRGs, or colloquially giants) are the Universes largest structures generated by individual galaxies. They comprise synchrotron-radiating active galactic nucleus ejecta and attain cosmological ... -
A Learning Model for Effective Teaching of Entrepreneurship Engineering Using Workshop Technology As A Case Study
(2021-10-30)For over a decade that Entrepreneurship education was introduced to the curriculum of tertiary institutions in Nigeria, majority of engineering students only acquired the skill but lacked the entrepreneurial spirit to ... -
A numerical study of the interplay between Fermi acceleration mechanisms in radio lobes of FR-II radio galaxies
(2022-11-17)Context: Radio-loud AGNs are thought to possess various sites of particle acceleration, which gives rise to the observed non-thermal spectra. Stochastic turbulent acceleration (STA) and diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) ... -
Effect of Ischemic Preconditioning on Acute Recovery in Elite Judo Athletes: A Randomized, Single-Blind, Crossover Trial
(2023-01-13)Purpose: The ischemic preconditioning (IPC) method has been shown to aid the recovery processes; however, no studies have been done to assess its acute recovery use in judo. This study aimed to examine IPC of lower limbs ... -
PCSK9 Inhibition During the Inflammatory Stage of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
