Experiences of midwifery care in English prisons
(2022-11-12)Background: In the United Kingdom (UK), all prisoners must receive healthcare equivalent to that available in the community. However, evidence suggests that equality in healthcare provision for perinatal women in UK prisons ... -
Learning from stakeholders to inform good practice guidance on consent to research in intensive care units: a mixed-methods study
(2022-11-14)Objectives: Obtaining informed consent from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) prior to enrolment in a study is practically and ethically complex. Decisions about the participation of critically ill patients in research ... -
Numerical Investigation on the Impact of Exergy Analysis and Structural Improvement in Power Plant Boiler through Co-Simulation
(2022-10-31)In current power station boilers, fuel burns at a low temperature, which results in low exergy efficiency. This research combined the second law of t with the boiler structure to maximize the efficiency of a 350 MW power ... -
Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: Characterisation of tidal features from mock images
(2022-06-01)Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is poised to deliver ... -
Spatial Dynamics of Post-Crisis Deleveraging
(2022-05-19)While the growth of household debt has been instrumental in the creation of the recent bubbles, debt disposal also plays an important role in shaping the scope and depth of busts. Much has been written about debt and ... -
Stellar neutron capture reactions at low and high temperature
(2022-11-08)The determination of astrophysical reaction rates requires different approaches depending on the conditions in hydrostatic and explosive burning. The focus here is on astrophysical reaction rates for radiative neutron ... -

EETAS: A Process for Examining Ethical Trade-Offs in Autonomous Systems
(Science and Technology Publications, 2022-11-09)Public-facing autonomous systems present society with significant ethical challenges, not least of which is the need for stakeholder understanding and discussion of how these systems balance competing ethical principles. ... -
Effective control of Leptosphaeria maculans increases importance of L. biglobosa as a cause of phoma stem canker epidemics on oilseed rape
(2022-10-26)BACKGROUND: Phoma stem canker is a damaging disease of oilseed rape, caused by two related fungal species, Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa. However, previous work has mainly focussed on L. maculans and there has ... -
A Method to Achieve High Dynamic Range in a CMOS Image Sensor Using Interleaved Row Readout
(2022-11-15)We present a readout scheme for CMOS image sensors that can be used to achieve arbitrarily high dynamic range (HDR) in principle. The linear full well capacity (LFWC) in high signal regions was extended 50 times from 20 ... -
Ply-stacking effects on mechanical properties of Kevlar-29/banana woven mats reinforced epoxy hybrid composites
(2022-11-08)Development of new hybrid laminated composites of Kevlar-29 (K-29)/banana fiber (Musa acuminata) mats to meet future demand for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has been investigated. The different ply-stacking ... -
Not just right experiences and incompleteness as a predictor of OC symptoms in clinical and community samples: A meta-analysis
(2022-11-05)Sensory phenomena (SP) are uncomfortable feelings, including bodily sensations, “just-right” perceptions and feelings of incompleteness, which have been shown to be predictors of symptom severity in individuals with ... -
Review on natural plant fibres and their hybrid composites for structural applications: Recent trends and future perspectives
(2022-10-31)Sustainability and environmental protection have given rise to the use of renewable and biobased materials in several application areas. Fibre reinforced composites are currently gaining a high market value in both structural ... -
Ammonia in the interstellar medium of a starbursting disc at z=2.6
(2022-09-23)We report the detection of the ground state rotational emission of ammonia, ortho-NH$_3$ $(J_K=1_0\rightarrow0_0)$ in a gravitationally lensed, intrinsically hyperluminous, star-bursting galaxy at $z=2.6$. The integrated ... -
Workplace Stress in Paediatric Intensive Care Units in Saudi Arabia: A Mixed-Method Study
(2022-11-01)Workplace stress, as experienced by nurses working in intensive care units, can affect health, quality and delivery of nursing care and healthcare costs. However, no studies have purely focused on Paediatric Intensive Care ... -
Investigating Machine Learning Attacks on Financial Time Series Models
(2022-12-31)Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) already support human decision-making and complement professional roles, and are expected in the future to be sufficiently trusted to make autonomous decisions. To trust ... -
Growth Kinetic Parameters and Prediction of Growth and Zearalenone and Deoxynivalenol Production Boundaries by Three Fusarium asiaticum Strains Isolated from Wheat
(2022-10-25)Fusarium species can cause head blight of cereals worldwide. This is accompanied by impacts on yield and contamination of grains with mycotoxins. Regulations, with maximum limits, exist for the relevant Fusarium mycotoxins ... -
Experimental Study on Temperature Control Optimization of Ground Source Heat Pump Horizontal Headers
(2022-12-15)The energy loss of ground source heat pump horizontal headers cannot be ignored. Based on the similarity theory and the principle of the orthogonal test, a sandbox experiment platform was built to study the temperature ...
