HyperVein: A Hyperspectral Image Dataset for Human Vein Detection
(2024-02-08)HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) plays a pivotal role in various fields, including medical diagnostics, where precise human vein detection is crucial. HyperSpectral (HS) image data are very large and can cause computational ... -
Exploratory factor analysis and Rasch analysis to assess the structural validity of the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit Proxy version (ASCOT-Proxy) completed by care home staff
(2024-03-20)Purpose. Rasch analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were used to evaluate the structural validity of the ASCOT-Proxy measures completed by staff on behalf of older adults resident in care homes, by comparison to ... -
‘Learning to read and write is to defend yourself’: Exploring Indigenous perspectives and reimagining literacies for self-determination in Mexico
(2024-04)This study considers some of the ways in which engagements with literacies are embedded in social practices and produced and enacted through distinct ethnolinguistic and cultural histories. Drawing on research with learners ... -
Transcriptomics of temperature-sensitive R gene-mediated resistance identifies a WAKL10 protein interaction network
(2024-02-29)Understanding temperature-sensitivity of R gene-mediated resistance against apoplastic pathogens is important for sustainable food production in the face of global warming. Here, we show that resistance of Brassica napus ... -
Evaluating the usefulness of a wordless picture book for adults with intellectual disabilities about the COVID ‐19 vaccination programme using co‐production: The CAREVIS study
(2024-03-30)Aim: To explore the usefulness of a co‐designed wordless book showing processes of receiving COVID‐19 vaccines designed by, and for, adults with intellectual disabilities. Methods: A qualitative evaluation of the resource ... -
AGN candidates in the VVV near-IR galaxy catalogue
(2023-04-30)The goal of this work is to search for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the Galactic disc at very low latitudes with |b|< 2°. For this, we studied the five sources from the VVV near-infrared (IR) galaxy catalogue that have ... -
Gaia21bty: An EXor light curve exhibiting a FUor spectrum
(2023-10-30)Gaia21bty, a pre-main sequence star that previously had shown aperiodic dips in its light curve, underwent a considerable Delta G~2.9 mag brightening that occurred over a few months between 2020 October - 2021 February. ... -
A Benchmark White Dwarf-Ultracool Dwarf Wide Field Binary
(2023-12-19)We present the discovery and multi-wavelength characterisation of VVV J1438-6158 AB, a new field wide-binary system consisting of a 4.6(+5.5-2.4) Gyr and Teff = 9500+/-125 K DA white dwarf (WD) and a Teff = 2400+/-50 K M8 ... -
Multiwavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO
(2024-03-01)During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events are valuable laboratories to investigate the outbursting ... -
On the incidence of episodic accretion in Class I YSOs from VVV
(2024-02-01)Episodic accretion is one of the competing models to explain the observed luminosity spread in young stellar clusters. These short-lived high accretion events could also have a strong impact on planet formation. Observations ... -
Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey
(2024-02-01)During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multidecade FUor-type outbursts. Here, we present a near-infrared ... -

The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
(2024-02-01)We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) data base of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with ΔKs ≥ 4 mag, aiming to provide a large sample of high amplitude eruptive young ... -
Comparison of cytotoxicity of Miltefosine and its niosomal form on chick embryo model
(2024-01-30)Various drugs have been used for the treatment of leishmaniasis, but they often have adverse effects on the body's organs. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of one type of drug, Miltefosine (MIL), and its ... -
Physical Activity Inclusion in Dementia-Friendly Communities: A Mixed Methods Study
(2024-06-01)Dementia-friendly communities (DFCs) are a policy-endorsed approach to community engagement in England that promotes social inclusion to enable people affected by dementia to live well. Research suggests that physical ... -
Numerical study on the heat transfer performance of mine ice-storage cooling device
(2024-05-15)The thermal performance of the ice-storage cooling device used in the underground mine refuge chamber is poor, which causes a waste of energy. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the heat transfer performance of ice ... -
Why Millennials Continue to Use WhatsApp? A Focus on Culture and Computer–Human Dialogue
(2024-01-29)Continuous usage behavior among millennials is crucial, yet factors influencing this behavior are not well understood. This study integrates human-computer interaction and marketing research to investigate the relationship ... -
Integrating AI-driven marketing analytics techniques into the classroom: pedagogical strategies for enhancing student engagement and future business success
