Central Star Formation in Early-type Galaxy I Zw 81 in the Bootes Void
(2022-12-16)The origin of star formation in customarily passively evolving early-type massive galaxies is poorly understood. We present a case study of a massive galaxy, I Zw 81, inside the Bootes void. The void galaxy is known to ... -
Development of a CFD Model for the Estimation of Windage Losses Inside the Narrow Air Gap of an Enclosed High-Speed Flywheel
(Springer Nature Link, 2023-08-12)Concerns over global warming and the need to reduce carbon emissions have prompted the development of novel energy recovery systems. During urban driving, a significant amount of energy is lost due to continuous braking, ... -
The Host Galaxies of Hybrid Morphology Radio Sources
(2022-12-16)Based on their differing radio morphologies, powerful radio galaxies can be separated into the Fanaroff-Riley I (FR I) and II (FR II) classes. Hybrid morphology radio sources (HyMoRS) contain morphologies consistent with ... -
The X–shooter/ALMA Sample of Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization. II. Black Hole Masses, Eddington Ratios, and the Formation of the First Quasars
(2022-12-20)We present measurements of black hole masses and Eddington ratios (λ Edd) for a sample of 38 bright (M 1450 < −24.4 mag) quasars at 5.8 ≲ z ≲ 7.5, derived from Very Large Telescope/X-shooter near-IR spectroscopy of their ... -
Ultra-endurance Participation and Acute Kidney Injury: A Narrative Review
(2022-12-15)Increasingly popular, ultra-endurance participation exposes athletes to extremely high levels of functional and structural damage. Ultra-endurance athletes commonly develop acute kidney in-jury (AKI) and other pathologies ... -
Novel Viroid‐Like RNAs Naturally Infect a Filamentous Fungus
(2022-12-14)To date, viroids have been found to naturally infect only plants, resulting in substantial losses for some crops. Whether viroids or viroid‐like RNAs naturally infect non‐plant hosts remains unknown. Here the existence of ... -
Case report: Advice for schools on managing functional tic-like behaviours
(2022-12-05)There has been an increase in the occurrence of sudden onset functional tic-like behaviours in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on the affected individual’s ability to engage ... -
Designer Benzodiazepines’ Activity on Opioid Receptors: A Docking Study
(2022-09-22)BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that benzodiazepines (BZDs) seem to enhance euphoric and reinforcing properties of opioids in opioid users so that a direct effect on opioid receptors has been postulated, together ... -
Shaping sustainable urbanism : Are garden cities the answer?
(2013-09-17)Canberra’s planning is famously informed by ‘city beautiful’ ideas reflecting approaches found in Hertfordshire’s garden city settlement history, heritage and contemporary lived experience; but can these design and planning ... -
City regions and decent work: Politics, pluralism and policy making in Greater Manchester
(2022-11-28)Despite a growing body of literature examining the politics of city-regionalism, the questionof how local actors engage with, and challenge each other in the subnational regulatory spacerequires greater attention if we are ... -
Hostile Environments: Immigration and Food Poverty in the UK
(University of Hertfordshire, 2022-12-13)As part of The Food Foundation’s wider project to re-shape the public narrative on food and inequalities, this research was commissioned to focus on families with NRPF and food poverty. The aim of this study was to explore ... -
74 Ge( n, γ ) cross section below 70 keV measured at n_TOF CERN
(2022-12-09)Neutron capture reaction cross sections on 74Ge are of importance to determine 74Ge production during the astrophysical slow neutron capture process. We present new resonance data on 74Ge(n, γ) reactions below 70 keV neutron ... -
Risk of COVID‐19 infection among mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation team
(2023-01-31)BACKGROUND AND AIM: The transport of coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a challenging situation, especially for healthcare workers (HCWs), due to the risk of cross-infection. ... -
Evaluating coefficient of performance and rate of moisture loss of some biomass humidifiers materials with a developed simple direct stand-alone evaporative cooling system for farmers
(2022-12-31)The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of deploying direct evaporative cooler with Jute fiber, palm fruit mesocarp fiber and wooden charcoal as humidifier in Nigeria. High cost of imported evaporative ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation on conjugate performance of fan and heat exchanger of helicopter oil cooling system
(2022-09-14)In this article, a combined experimental and numerical study has been performed to investigate the operating performance of axial fan and oil cooling system. A test rig was established, and six types of plate-fin heat ... -
Effect of Different Inlet/Outlet Port Configurations on the Thermal Management of Prismatic Li-ion Batteries
(2022-11-30)The performance and life cycle of Li-ion batteries are governed by the maximum temperature and uniformity of temperature distribution in the battery pack and an efficient thermal management system is highly desired to keep ... -
