Identifying the Policy Instrument Interactions to Enable the Public Procurement of Sustainable Food
(2022-04-02)A public food procurement policy has been identified as having significant potential to drive food consumption and production towards greater sustainability, delivering social, economic, environmental, and health benefits ... -
Large joints are progressively involved in rheumatoid arthritis irrespective of rheumatoid factor status—results from the early rheumatoid arthritis study
(2021-08-16)This study aimed to examine the progression of large joint involvement from early to established RA in terms of range of movement (ROM) and time to joint surgery, according to the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF). We ... -
Nutritional and Non-nutritional Strategies in Bodybuilding: Impact on Kidney Function
(2022-04-03)Bodybuilders routinely engage in many dietary and other practices purported to be harmful to kidney health. The development of acute kidney injury, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) and nephrocalcinosis may be ... -
Gene Variants Previously Associated with Reduced Soft Tissue Injury Risk: Part 1 – Independent Associations with Elite Status in Rugby
(2022-03-29)There is growing evidence of genetic contributions to tendon and ligament pathologies. Given the high incidence and severity of tendon and ligament injuries in elite rugby, we studied whether 13 gene polymorphisms previously ... -
Memristor-Based Affective Associative Memory Neural Network Circuit with Emotional Gradual Processes
(2022-04-01)In the existing affective associative memory neural network circuits, the change of emotions in the affective associative learning and forgetting processes is abrupt and the intensity of emotions is invariable. In fact, ... -
Variable star classification across the Galactic bulge and disc with the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey
(2021-10-30)We present VIVACE, the VIrac VAriable Classification Ensemble, a catalogue of variable stars extracted from an automated classification pipeline for the Vista Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea (VVV) infrared survey of the ... -
Self-consistent modelling of the Milky Way's Nuclear Stellar Disc
(2022-03-22)The Nuclear Stellar Disc (NSD) is a flattened high-density stellar structure that dominates the gravitational field of the Milky Way at Galactocentric radius $30\lesssim R\lesssim 300$ pc. We construct axisymmetric ... -
Large amplitude periodic outbursts and long period variables in the VVV VIRAC2-$β$ database
(2022-03-21)The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey obtained near-infrared photometry toward the Galactic bulge and the southern disc plane for a decade (2010 - 2019). We designed a modified Lomb-Scargle method to search ... -
Evaluation of a Whole System Approach to Diet and Healthy Weight in the East of Scotland: Study Protocol
(2022-03-24)Obesity is a global epidemic affecting all age groups, populations and income levels across continents. The causes of obesity are complex and are routed in health behaviours, environmental factors, government policy and ... -
