X-ray absorption and reprocessing in the z ∼ 2.5 lensed quasar 2MASS J1042+1641
(2022-10-19)We present new broad-band X-ray observations of the z ∼ 2.5 lensed quasar 2MASS J1042+1641, combining XMM–Newton, Chandra, and NuSTAR to provide coverage of the X-ray spectrum over the 0.3–40 keV bandpass in the observed ... -
A Memristive Spiking Neural Network Circuit with Selective Supervised Attention Algorithm
(2023-08-01)Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are biologically plausible and computationally powerful. The current computing systems based on the von Neumann architecture are almost the hardware basis for the implementation of SNNs. ... -
AN IOT BASED WEATHER STATION USING AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM
(2022-12-22)This paper is about the development of an internet-based weather station system to monitor temperature, humidity, light intensity and predict the possibility of whether it will rain or not. The realtime monitoring system ... -
Gene variants previously associated with reduced soft-tissue injury risk: Part 2 – Polygenic associations with elite status in Rugby
(2022-12-26)Part 1 of this genetic association series highlighted several genetic variants independently associated with elite status in rugby. However, it is highly likely that the genetic influence on elite status is polygenic due ... -

(2023-02-22)Aim To explore the business skills, experiences and preparedness of UK-based private physiotherapists when establishing and developing a physiotherapy business. Design A hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Participants ... -
How online learning, during COVID-19, has affected compassion in teaching and subsequently impacted student satisfaction
(2022-04-30)Goetz et al (2010) defines compassion as ‘the ability to notice physical or social distress in others and take action to address it’, with active listening, empathy, desire to help, inclusivity, understanding emotions, ... -
26Al gamma rays from the Galaxy with INTEGRAL/SPI
(2023-03-30)Context. The presence of radioactive 26Al at 1.8 MeV reveals an ongoing process of nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way. Diffuse emission from its decay can be measured with gamma-ray telescopes in space. The intensity, line ... -
Production benefits recall of novel words with frequent, but not infrequent sound patterns
(2023-01-06)The production effect is influenced by various factors, including cognitive and linguistic related variables. Previous studies found that the production effect varies when stimuli have native versus non-native speech sounds, ... -
Recognition of Prior Learning Translation and Transfer (RPLTT): Using Actor-Network-Theory to develop a Specialised Pedagogy
(2023-01-18)The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process by which achievements gained through work or other experiences can be formally recognised and accredited in higher education. It has a role to play in providing accelerated ... -
Technology and Applications of Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Materials: Current State and Future Trends
(2023-09-18)Silicon (Si)-based semiconductor devices have long dominated the power electronics industry and are used in almost every application involving power conversion. Examples of these include metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect ... -
An exploratory study of street-level police corruption in Ghana: Why does it exist?
(2023-03-30)A culture of corruption within an institution, such as the police, could be indicative of a failure from various directions. The Ghanaian public often views the police service as the most corrupt of all their institutions. ... -
