Anovel HEOMGA Approach for Class Imbalance Problem in the Application of Customer Churn Prediction
(2021-09-17)Making class balance is essential when learning from highly skewed datasets; otherwise, a learner may classify all instances to a negative class, resulting in a high false-negative rate. As a result, a precise balancing ... -
Undertaking pre-pilot work to gain an empathetic insight into the participant perspective
(2021-09-16)Background: Being an empathetic researcher can be crucial in terms of understanding the participant perspective. However, whilst the need for empathy is recognised within a qualitative interview research context, there is ... -
Customer Churn Prediction in Telecom Sector: A Survey and way a head
(2021-01-01)The telecommunication (telecom)industry is a highly technological domain has rapidly developed over the previous decades as a result of the commercial success in mobile communication and the internet. Due to the strong ... -
Youth social behaviour and network therapy (Y-SBNT): adaptation of a family and social network intervention for young people who misuse alcohol and drugs - a randomised controlled feasibility trial
(2017-03-21)BACKGROUND: Family interventions appear to be effective at treating young people's substance misuse. However, implementation of family approaches in UK services is low. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of ... -
Effects of sand and gating architecture on the performance of foot valve lever casting components used in pump industries
(2021-11-01)This work addresses manufacture, testing and simulation of foot valve lever (FVL) for monoblock pump industry, using a cost-effective casting design process. The impact of different types of sands, such as air-set, dry and ... -
A randomised controlled feasibility trial of family and social network intervention for young people who misuse alcohol and drugs: study protocol (Y-SBNT)
(2015-03-13)BACKGROUND: A growing body of research has identified family interventions to be effective in treating young people's substance use problems. However, despite this evidence, take-up of family-based approaches in the UK has ... -
Broadening public participation in systematic reviews: a case example involving young people in two configurative reviews
(2015-06-22)BACKGROUND: Arguments supporting the involvement of users in research have even more weight when involving the public in systematic reviews of research. We aimed to explore the potential for public involvement in systematic ... -
Involving young people in drug and alcohol research
(2018-03-05)Purpose – Young people’s involvement should lead to research, and ultimately services, that better reflect young people’s priorities and concerns. Young people with a history of treatment for alcohol and/or drug problems ... -
An Introduction to ‘Peace, Conflicts and Security in the Anthropocene: Ruptures and Limits'
(2021-06-21)Throughout the last two decades, numerous disciplines across the natural and social sciences have witnessed the increasing influence of an emerging set of contemporary theoretical trends that delve into the entanglements ... -
Communication is key : Extracellular vesicles as mediators of infection and defence during host-microbe interactions in animals and plants
(2021-08-27)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are now understood to be ubiquitous mediators of cellular communication. In this review, we suggest that EVs have evolved into a highly regulated system of communication with complex functions ... -
UNDERSTANDING THE COLLECTIVISM DILEMMA: A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE ETHNICITY PLAYS IN PROMOTING THE COLLECTIVIST BEHAVIOUR OF CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM FAMILIES AT MEALTIMES
(2021-08-01)The findings show how ethnicity plays a significantly role in Sierra Leonean families‟ meal consumption behaviour. It defines the social grouping of families, and demonstrates how they align with the type of language spoken, ... -
Evaluation of tensile strength retention and service life prediction of hydrothermal aged balanced orthotropic carbon/glass and Kevlar/glass fabric reinforced polymer hybrid composites
(2021-09-02)Quest to reduce challenges of high structural weight and cost of metallic components is increasing. It has led to their replacement with carbon and Kevlar fibers reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. These aforementioned ... -
Destruction of the cosmic γ -ray emitter Al 26 in massive stars: Study of the key Al 26 (n,p) reaction
(2021-08-30)The Al26(n,p)Mg26 reaction is the key reaction impacting on the abundances of the cosmic γ-ray emitter Al26 produced in massive stars and impacts on the potential pollution of the early solar system with Al26 by asymptotic ... -
A Novel Signal Processing Method for Friction and Sliding Wear
(2022-05-01)This current study proposed a new computationally efficient and comparatively accurate algorithm for calculating both static and dynamic coefficients of friction from high frequency data. Its scope embraced an application ... -

Covid-19, home confinement and flexible working
(University of Hertfordshire, 2021)The earliest documented case of COVID-19 in the UK was 28th February 2020 and on 23rd March 2020 the UK Government enforced a lockdown on the UK population resulting in most adults and children staying at home. The World ... -
Temperature oscillation of a dual compensation chamber loop heat pipe under acceleration conditions
(2021-11-01)Loop heat pipe has a wide application in the fields of airborne electronics cooling and thermal management. However, the pertinent temperature oscillation of the loop heat pipe could lead to adverse effects on the electronics. ... -
The beautiful mess in Abell 2255
(2020-07-07)We present LOFAR observations of one of the most spectacular objects in the radio sky: Abell 2255. This is a nearby ($z = 0.0806$) merging galaxy cluster hosting one of the first radio halos ever detected in the intra-cluster ... -
The LOFAR view of FR0 radio galaxies
(2020-10-09)We explore the low-frequency radio properties of the sources in the Fanaroff-Riley class 0 catalog (FR0CAT) as seen by the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observations at 150 MHz. This sample includes 104 compact radio active ...
