Leptosphaeria maculans isolates with variations in AvrLm1 and AvrLm4 effector genes induce differences in defence responses but not in resistance phenotypes in cultivars carrying the Rlm7 gene
(2023-03-28)BACKGROUND The phoma stem canker pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans is one of the most widespread and devastating pathogens of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the world. Pathogen colonization is stopped by an interaction of ... -
Handheld Raman Spectroscopy in the First UK Home Office Licensed Pharmacist-Led Community Drug Checking Service
(2023-03-08)Across the world, the interest in point-of-care drug checking as a harm-reduction intervention is growing. This is an attempt to improve intelligence about current drug trends and reduce drug-related morbidity and mortality. ... -
Heart Rate Recovery Assessed by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: Relationship with Prognosis
(2023-03-07)Background: The use of exercise testing has expanded in recent decades and there is a wealth of information examining the prognostic significance of exercise variables, such as peak oxygen consumption or ventilatory measures ... -
Data-Driven Tools for Building Energy Consumption Prediction: A Review
(2023-03-09)The development of data-driven building energy consumption prediction models has gained more attention in research due to its relevance for energy planning and conservation. However, many studies have conducted the ... -
Investigating the Dominant Environmental Quenching Process in UVCANDELS/COSMOS Groups
(2023-04-12)We explore how the fraction of quenched galaxies changes in groups of galaxies with respect to the distance to the center of the group, redshift, and stellar mass to determine the dominant process of environmental quenching ... -
Physiotherapist beliefs and perspectives on virtual reality supported rehabilitation for the management of musculoskeletal shoulder pain: A focus group study
(2023-04-14)Background: Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive computer-generated environment that provides a multi-sensory experience for the user. Modern technology allows the user to explore and interact with the virtual environment, ... -
Emergence of common concepts, symmetries and conformity in agent groups—an information-theoretic model
(2023-04-14)The paper studies principles behind structured, especially symmetric, representations through enforced inter-agent conformity. For this, we consider agents in a simple environment who extract individual representations of ... -
The Imprint of Clump Formation at High Redshift. II. The Chemistry of the Bulge
(2023-04-07)In Paper I, we showed that clumps in high-redshift galaxies, having a high star formation rate density (ΣSFR), produce disks with two tracks in the [Fe/H]–[α/Fe] chemical space, similar to that of the Milky Way’s (MW’s) ... -
Provision of palliative and end-of-life care in UK care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic: A mixed methods observational study with implications for policy
(2023-03-14)Introduction: Little consideration has been given to how the provision of palliative and end-of-life care in care homes was affected by COVID-19. The aims of this study were to: (i) investigate the response of UK care homes ... -
The use of culturally adapted and translated depression screening questionnaires with South Asian haemodialysis patients in England
(2023-04-07)Background: Depression is common amongst patients receiving haemodialysis (HD). Assessment and intervention when faced with language and cultural barriers is challenging. To support clinician decisions, we conducted a ... -
Building relational trust and hope: The experiences of counsellors in a service for birth relatives whose children have been adopted or taken into care
(2023-03-24)The profound and lasting impact of losing a child to adoption or foster care has been powerfully described, and the importance of offering therapeutic support to birth relatives is a requirement in most parts of the UK. ... -
Numerical investigation of shock-induced bubble collapse dynamics and fluid–solid interactions during shock-wave lithotripsy
(2023-05-31)In this paper we investigate the bubble collapse dynamics under shock-induced loading near soft and rigid bio-materials, during shock wave lithotripsy. A novel numerical framework was developed, that employs a Diffuse ... -
The complexity of quantified constraints: Collapsibility, switchability and the algebraic formulation
(2023-01-18)Let A be an idempotent algebra on a finite domain. By mediating between results of Chen and Zhuk, we argue that if A satisfies the polynomially generated powers property (PGP) and B is a constraint language invariant under ... -
Experimental investigation of starting-up, energy-saving, and emission-reducing performances of hybrid supercapacitor energy storage systems for automobiles
(2023-04-28)Improvements in engine starting-up performance, such as reducing fuelconsumption and exhaust emission pollution during the startup process, are very vital to achieve the national development goal of carbon peaking and ... -
Galactic Population Synthesis of Radioactive Nucleosynthesis Ejecta
(2023-03-30)Diffuse gamma-ray line emission traces freshly produced radioisotopes in the interstellar gas, providing a unique perspective on the entire Galactic cycle of matter from nucleosynthesis in massive stars to their ejection ... -
Detection of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium of nearby galaxies using Faraday rotation
(2023-02-24)Context. The existence of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is largely unconstrained. Their detection is important as magnetic fields can have a significant impact on the evolution of the CGM, and, in turn, ... -
New mechanisms for forming multiple hotspots in radio jets
(2023-05-01)Hotspots of radio galaxies are regions of shock-driven particle acceleration. Multiple hotspots have long been identified as potential indicators of jet movement or precession. Two frequent explanations describe a secondary ... -
