Can Neutron Star Mergers Alone Explain the r-process Enrichment of the Milky Way?
(2023-01-30)Comparing Galactic chemical evolution models to the observed elemental abundances in the Milky Way, we show that neutron star mergers can be a leading r-process site only if at low metallicities such mergers have very short ... -
Variability in exercise tolerance and physiological responses to exercise prescribed relative to physiological thresholds and to maximum oxygen uptake
(2023-04-30)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Does prescribing exercise intensity using physiological thresholds create a more homogeneous exercise stimulus than using traditional intensity anchors? What is the ... -
Skin permeation and penetration of mometasone furoate in the presence of emollients: An ex vivo evaluation of clinical application protocols
(2023-06)Background: Topical corticosteroids (TCS) and emollients are developed independently by the pharmaceutical industry but are often used together in practice. There is potential for the TCS and emollient formulations to ... -
Skilled motor control of an inverted pendulum implies low entropy of states but high entropy of actions
(2023-01-06)The mastery of skills, such as balancing an inverted pendulum, implies a very accurate control of movements to achieve the task goals. Traditional accounts of skilled action control that focus on either routinization or ... -
Psilocybin for Depression: From Credibility to Feasibility, What’s Missing?
(2022-12-31)Psilocybin has been suggested as a promising transdiagnostic treatment strategy for a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Recent findings showed that psychedelic-assisted/”psycholitic” psychotherapy should provide significant ... -
Treating bipolar depression with esketamine: Safety and effectiveness data from a naturalistic multicentric study on esketamine in bipolar versus unipolar treatment‐resistant depression
(2023-01-18)Background: Bipolar depression accounts for most of the disease duration in type I and type II bipolar disorder (BD), with few treatment options, often poorly tolerated. Many individuals do not respond to first‐line ... -
‘Your Marage will make a change with them all ... when you get another famely’: illegitimate children, parenthood and siblinghood in Ireland, c. 1759-1832.

The Effect of Hybridisation on Carbon and Glass Fibres Reinforced Composites under Quasi-Static Loading
(2022-09-15)Fibre hybridisation in composite structures is a promising strategy to control the stiffness and energy absorption characteristics. The hybrid structure could offer a better balance of appropriate mechanical properties ... -
Feature weighting in DBSCAN using reverse nearest neighbours
(2023-05-01)DBSCAN is arguably the most popular density-based clustering algorithm, and it is capable of recovering non-spherical clusters. One of its main weaknesses is that it treats all features equally. In this paper, we propose ... -
Hydrothermal performance of inline and staggered arrangements of airfoil shaped pin-fin heat sinks: A comparative study
(2023-01-01)The distinctive airfoil shaped pin-fins offer minimal resistance to fluid flow and enormous effective area due to the delayed fluid separation at the tail. In this article, the hydrothermal performance of inline and staggered ... -
A Comprehensive Study on the Expansion of Electric Vehicles in Europe
(2022-11-16)There has been a rapid increase in government efforts to expand electric vehicle markets by deploying fast-charging stations, promoting uptake through greater investment, and by enacting supportive policies. Government ... -

How effective are physiotherapy interventions in treating people with sciatica? A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022-12-29)PURPOSE: Physiotherapy interventions are prescribed as first-line treatment for people with sciatica; however, their effectiveness remains controversial. The purpose of this systematic review was to establish the short-, ... -
Effect of insertion process on biceps tendon reconstruction in BASHTI technique: An in-vitro study
(2022-01-03)Bone And Site Hold Tendon Inside (BASHTI) implant-less technique is proposed as an alternative to conventional tendon repair methods. This study aims to evaluate the strength of this technique under biceps loading conditions ... -
An Experimental Analysis to Determine the Load-Bearing Capacity of 3D Printed Metals
(2022-06-19)Reverse engineering is conducted based on the analysis of an already existing product. The results of such an analysis can be used to improve the functioning of the product or develop new organizational, economic, information ... -
