Featherweight Go
(2020-11-01)We describe a design for generics in Go inspired by previous work on Featherweight Java by Igarashi, Pierce, and Wadler. Whereas subtyping in Java is nominal, in Go it is structural, and whereas generics in Java are defined ... -
Small scale star formation as revealed by VVVX galactic cluster candidates
(2020-10-02)We report a search and analysis of obscured cluster candidates in the "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey area encompassing the region between 229.4 < l <295.2 and -4.3 < b <4.4 of the ... -
Human and data-driven design fictions: : Entering the near-future zone

Fans, community, and conflict in the pages of "Picture Play," 1920–38
(2020-06-15)Fan history remains a neglected subdiscipline of fan studies, in part because of the methodological complications in dealing with a community of fans who may be deceased. Fan magazines, and particularly fan magazine letter ... -
Statically Verified Refinements for Multiparty Protocols
(2020-11-20)With distributed computing becoming ubiquitous in the modern era, safe distributed programming is an open challenge. To address this, multiparty session types (MPST) provide a typing discipline for message-passing concurrency, ... -
Eigengalaxies: Galaxy Morphology as a Linear Image Space and its Applications
(2020-10-19)In this thesis I contextualise the history of morphology as underpinned by Hubble's scheme, discrete in nature, and deeply connected to theories of galaxy formation history. I set out in contrast, to describe a purely ... -
Thermophysiological responses to capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint: a randomised controlled experimental study
(2020-11-11)This study investigated the effect of 448 kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRMRF) on the superficial and deep physiological responses of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee(s). Forty-five patients ... -
VVVX-Gaia Discovery of a Low Luminosity Globular Cluster in the Milky Way Disk
(2020-10-22)Milky Way globular clusters (MW GCs) are difficult to identify at low Galactic latitudes because of high differential extinction and heavy star crowding. The new deep near-IR images and photometry from the VISTA Variables ... -
Adaptive Neural Network-Based Robust H∞ Tracking Control of a Quadrotor UAV Under Wind Disturbances
(2020-11-17)The paper deals with the stabilisation and trajectory tracking control of an autonomous quadrotor helicopter system in the presence of wind disturbances. The proposed adaptive tracking controller uses radial basis function ... -
National Institute for Health Research Policy Research Programme Project Dementia Friendly Communities: The DEMCOM evaluation (PR-R15-0116- 21003)
(National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), 2020-10-13)Final Report: National Institute for Health Research Policy Research Programme Project Dementia Friendly Communities: The DEMCOM evaluation (PR-R15-0116- 21003) As the number of people living with dementia is increasing ... -
LeMMINGs. II. The e-MERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. The deepest radio view of the Palomar sample on parsec scale
(2020-11-17)We present the second data release of high-resolution ($\leq0.2$ arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 177 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the e-MERLIN array, as part of the LeMMINGs (Legacy e-MERLIN ... -
Design and Synthesis of Novel pH-Sensitive Anticancer Drug and Efflux Pump Inhibitor Conjugates
(2020-10-27)Resistance to anti-cancer therapies has proven a challenge for effective treatments. Efflux pumps when overexpressed in cancer cells, eject drugs from the cell, rendering them ineffective. The pH of cancer cells is generally ... -
A cautionary note on the association between meteorological parameters and COVID-19 pandemic
(2020-08-11)Will the increasing temperature and humidity stop the spread of coronavirus, like seasonal patterns seen in viruses like influenza? In the authors’ opinion, weather has little or no part to play in bringing an end to the ... -
Species-Specific Interactions of Bacillus Innocula and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Symbiosis with Winter Wheat
(2020-11-16)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi establish close interactions with host plants, an estimated 80% of vascular plant species. The host plant receives additional soil bound nutrients that would otherwise not be available. ... -
A statistical assessment of association between meteorological parameters and COVID-19 pandemic in 10 countries
(2020-07-22)Background Eleven out of 13 published articles reported temperature and humidity as factors that could reduce the daily confirmed COVID-19 cases among many other findings. However, there are significant caveats, related ... -
Rotator cuff related shoulder pain: does the type of exercise influence the outcomes? – Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
(2020-11-05)Introduction Lifetime prevalence of shoulder pain is 70%, and approximately 50% of people with shoulder pain will experience pain for more than a year. Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is the most common shoulder ... -
Posterior shoulder tightness; an intersession reliability study of 3 clinical tests.
(2020-07-29)Background Although posterior shoulder tightness (PST) has been associated with shoulder pathology and altered glenohumeral joint kinematics, uncertainty remains regarding its cause and definition. To understand the efficacy ... -
