Virus Infection Impairs Fungal Response to Stress: Effect of Salt
(2023-03-10)Infection with Aspergillus fumigatus polymycovirus 1 (AfuPmV-1) weakens the resistance of biofilms of common A. fumigatus reference strain Af293 in intermicrobial competition with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and sensitizes A. ... -
Novel gene loci associated with susceptibility or cryptic quantitative resistance to Pyrenopeziza brassicae in Brassica napus
(2023-03-23)Key message Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) controls the association of the light leaf spot pathogen with Brassica napus; four QDR loci that were in linkage disequilibrium and eight gene expression markers were ... -
Sheathed fixation improves BASHTI technique in an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(2023-03-30)Bone and Site Hold Tendon Inside (BASHTI) technique is an implant-less surgical methodology used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It has some clinical advantages, such as speeding up the healing process. ... -
Meaning of Family Reported Outcome Measure (FROM-16) severity score bands: a cross-sectional online study in the UK
(2023-03-23)Objective: To assign clinical meanings to the Family Reported Outcome Measure (FROM-16) scores through the development of score bands using the anchor-based approach. Design and setting: A cross-sectional online study ... -
Effect of the core bone engaged length on the BASHTI fixation strength, an in-vitro study on bovine tendons using identical-density surrogate bones
(2023-03-25)Background: BASHTI is an implant-less anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction technique, which resolves the problems caused by implants such as interference screws. This study aims to investigate the effect of the ... -
Host Dark Matter Halos of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer-selected Obscured and Unobscured Quasars: Evidence for Evolution
(2023-03-23)Obscuration in quasars may arise from steep viewing angles along the dusty torus, or instead may represent a distinct phase of supermassive black hole growth. We test these scenarios by probing the host dark matter halo ... -
Functional Neurologic Disorders, disorders to be managed by neurologists, or are neurologists wandering in a dangerous field with inadequate resources?
(2023-03-17)In recent years, some neurologists reconsidered their approach to Medically Unexplained Symptoms and proposed Functional Neurologic Disorders (FND) as a new entity, claiming that neurology could offer alternative treatment ... -
The ionizing properties of two bright Ly$α$ emitters in the BDF reionized bubble at z=7
(2022-06-28)We investigate the ionizing properties of the pair of bright Ly$\alpha$ emitting galaxies BDF521 and BDF2195 at z=7.012 in order to constrain their contribution to the formation of the BDF "reionized bubble". We obtain ... -
Implementing proposed reforms of the Mental Health Act for people with intellectual disability and autism: the perspective of multidisciplinary professionals in intellectual disability teams
(2022-11-14)Background A recent government white paper sets out proposals for reforms to the Mental Health Act 1983 (MHA). Some of these proposals affect people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism. Aims To explore both positive ... -
Bayesian hierarchical modelling of the M*–SFR relation from 1 ≲ z ≲ 6 in ASTRODEEP
(2022-07-31)The Hubble Frontier Fields represent the opportunity to probe the high-redshift evolution of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies to lower masses than possible in blank fields thanks to foreground lensing of massive ... -
First insights into the ISM at z > 8 with JWST: possible physical implications of a high [O III] λ4363/[O III] λ5007
(2022-09-20)We present a detailed analysis of the rest-frame optical emission line ratios for three spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at z > 7.5. The galaxies were identified in the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Early Release ... -
The positive tropical Grassmannian, the hypersimplex, and the m=2 amplituhedron
(2023-10-01)The positive Grassmannian [FIGURE] is a cell complex consisting of all points in the real Grassmannian whose Plücker coordinates are non-negative. In this paper we consider the image of the positive Grassmannian and its ... -
4D Printing of Nanostructure Modified Shape Memory Polymer Composites
(Springer Nature Link, 2022-05-19)Four-dimensional (4D) printing and nanostructure have introduced the possibility of having systems for self-assembly, self-healing, and material properties changes. Layered printing allows creating compound and complex ... -
