Death following pulmonary complications of surgery before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
(2021-11-13)Background: This study aimed to determine the impact of pulmonary complications on death after surgery both before and during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Methods: This was a ... -
Understanding a young adult diabetes service’s accessibility: have virtual appointments helped?
(2022-08-02)Diabetes mellitus is characterised by hyperglycaemia, requiring strict management regimens to avoid associated health complications. Diagnosis and/or management of diabetes during young adulthood can be particularly ... -
The VVV Open Cluster Project II. Near-infrared sequences of 37 open clusters on eight-dimensional parameter space
(2022-07-01)Open clusters are key coeval structures that help us understand star formation, stellar evolution and trace the physical properties of our Galaxy. In the past years, the isolation of open clusters from the field has been ... -
The Curious Case of the “Heartworm” Nebula
(2022-07-27)The curious Galactic features near G357.2−0.2 were observed with the MeerKAT radio interferometer array in the UHF and L bands (0.56–1.68 GHz). There are two possibly related features: a newly identified faint heart-shaped ... -
Synthesis gas as a fuel for internal combustion engines in transportation
(2022-05-01)The adverse environmental impact of fossil fuel combustion in engines has motivated research towards using alternative low-carbon fuels. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in studying the combustion of ... -
Star Cluster Formation in Clouds with Externally Driven Turbulence
(2022-11-01)Star clusters are known to be formed in turbulent molecular clouds. How turbulence is driven in molecular clouds and what effect this has on star formation is still unclear. We compare a simulation setup with turbulent ... -
Novel biodesign enhancements to at-risk traditional building materials
(2022-10-03)Extreme weather conditions increase the frequency of regular maintenance on heritage buildings and cause erosion of traditional materials. Developments in bio-enhanced self-repair materials provide an opportunity to improve ... -
Breast Ironing in the UK and Domestic Law
(2022-06-20)As a result of gender-based violence (GBV), women and girls throughout the world have become the subject of violence and harmful practices which drastically interfere with their physical and sexual autonomy. Examples of ... -
MIGHTEE: the nature of the radio-loud AGN population
(2022-10-30)We study the nature of the faint radio source population detected in the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Early Science data in the COSMOS field, focusing on the properties of the ... -
Algebraic Bethe ansatz for spinor R-matrices
(2022-02-17)We present a supermatrix realisation of q-deformed spinor-spinor and spinor-vector Rmatrices. These R-matrices are then used to construct transfer matrices for Uq2(so2n+1)- and Uq(so2n+2)-symmetric closed spin chains. Their ... -
Molecular dynamics simulation on surface modification of quantum scaled CuO nano-clusters to support their experimental studies
(2022-10-05)Interest in nanoparticle modification using functional chemicals has increased rapidly, as it allows more freedom of physiochemical tuning of the nanoparticle’s surface into biomedically oriented and designated properties. ... -
Evidence of distant spiral arms in the Galactic disk quadrant IV from VVV red clump giants
(2022-09-09)The discovery of new clear windows in the Galactic plane using the VVV near-IR extinction maps allows the study of the structure of the Milky Way (MW) disk. The ultimate goal of this work is to map the spiral arms in the ... -
Linear Permanent Magnet Vernier Generators for Wave Energy Applications: Analysis, Challenges, and Opportunities
(2022-09-01)Harvesting energy from waves as a substantial resource of renewable energy has attracted much attention in recent years. Linear permanent magnet vernier generators (LPMVGs) have been widely adopted in wave energy applications ... -
Modelling Causal Factors of Unintentional Electromagnetic Emanations Compromising Information Technology Equipment Security †
(2022-09-18)Information technology equipment (ITE) processing sensitive information can have its security compromised by unintentional electromagnetic radiation. Appropriately assessing likelihood of a potential compromise relies on ... -
Entropy Generation of Secondary Flow in a Turning Passage with Different Boundary Layer Characteristics
(2022-09-23)The development of secondary flow along a curved channel is a fundamental flow phenomenon occurring in a wide range of engineering applications, including turbomachinery, aerospace, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, ... -
The implications of face mask wearing for babies and families during the COVID-19 pandemic: A discussion
(2022-09-30)COVID-19 has changed the way that newborn babies are cared for within the neonatal setting, and infants in the first year of their lives, due to the introduction of social distancing and the wearing of face masks to limit ... -
The implications of face masks for babies and families during the COVID-19 pandemic: A Discussion Paper
