Enhanced anti-corrosion characteristics of epoxy-functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite coatings on mild steel substrates.
(2024-09-01)This experimental investigation focused on coating of functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) on the mild steel to minimize corrosion, using a new method. Prior to the coating, the fundamental chemical and morphological ... -
Investigating the impact of London’s ultra low emission zone on children’s health: children’s health in London and Luton (CHILL) protocol for a prospective parallel cohort study
(2023-11-04)Background Air pollution harms health across the life course. Children are at particular risk of adverse effects during development, which may impact on health in later life. Interventions that improve air quality are ... -
Insilico assessment of hesperidin on SARS-CoV-2 main protease and RNA polymerase: Molecular docking and dynamics simulation approach
(2024-09)The present study uses molecular docking and dynamic simulations to evaluate the inhibitory effect of flavonoid glycosides-based compounds on coronavirus Main protease (Mpro) and RNA polymerase. The Molegro Virtual Docker ... -
Shedding Light on the Origin of ^{204}Pb, the Heaviest s-Process-Only Isotope in the Solar System
(2024-08-02)Asymptotic giant branch stars are responsible for the production of most of the heavy isotopes beyond Sr observed in the solar system. Among them, isotopes shielded from the r-process contribution by their stable isobars ... -
Shell mergers in the late stages of massive star evolution: new insight from 3D hydrodynamic simulations
(2024-07-23)One-dimensional (1D) stellar evolution models are widely used across various astrophysical fields, however they are still dominated by important uncertainties that deeply affect their predictive power. Among those, the ... -
Memristive Tabu learning neuron generated multi-wing attractor with FPGA implementation and application in encryption
(2024-08-13)Memristors, with their unique nonlinear characteristics, are highly suitable for construction of novel neural models with rich dynamic behaviors. In this paper, a memristor with piecewise nonlinear state function is ... -
Defending internalism about unconscious phenomenal character
(2024-05-13)Two important questions arise concerning the properties that constitute the phenomenal characters of our experiences: first, where these properties exist, and, second, whether they are tied to our consciousness of them. ... -
Opportunistic Interference Alignment in Cognitive Radio Networks with Space-Time Coding
(2024-10-30)For a multiuser multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) overlay cognitive radio (CR) network, an opportunistic interference alignment (IA) technique has been proposed that allows spectrum sharing between primary users (PUs) ... -
Thermoregulatory demands of épée fencing during competition
(2024-08-23)The International Olympic Committee recently introduced a consensus statement on recommendations for outdoor sports in the heat. However, indoor sports such as fencing whereby athletes are required to wear full body ... -
Stress and Resilience in the Workplace
(Springer Nature, 2023-08-24)Resilience to the effects of stress is a variable that is often overlooked in studies of the effects of stress on behaviour and individuals. Indeed, our models of health provision (both physical and mental health) focus ... -
Using a framework for collaborative teacher educator learning to develop the initial teacher education curriculum
(British Educational Research Association, 2024-08-28)School-based and university-based teacher educators within partnerships have the potential to transform the practice of initial teacher education (ITE) through learning together. Using the working model of Perry et al. ... -
Hagedorn singularity in exact U q su 2 S -matrix theories with arbitrary spins
(2024-06-24)Generalizing the quantum sine-Gordon and sausage models, we construct exact S-matrices for higher spin representations with quantum Uqsu2 symmetry, which satisfy unitarity, crossing-symmetry and the Yang-Baxter equations ... -
