Dynamical scalar hair formation around a Schwarzschild black hole (2016)
Journal Article

Scalar fields coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant evade the known no-hair theorems and have nontrivial configurations around black holes. We focus on a scalar field that couples linearly to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and hence exhibits shift symmet... Read More about Dynamical scalar hair formation around a Schwarzschild black hole.

The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig (2016)
Journal Article

Given the increasing popularity of the guinea pig as a pet, it is perhaps surprising that relatively little is published as to their husbandry and dietary requirements. Indeed, a review of the literature currently available to owners, scientists and... Read More about The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig.

Dynamic Experimental Investigation on the Volatilization Behavior of Lead and Cadmium in the Simulated Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Influenced by Sulfur Compounds during Incineration (2016)
Journal Article

In China, coal, often with a high level of sulfur, is always mixed with municipal solid waste (MSW) in waste incineration plants due to the low heating value and high moisture content of MSW. The influence of sulfur compounds on the volatilization of...

Treatment of acute pain in cats (2016)
Journal Article

The cat's popularity as a pet continues to grow, with the most recent surveys showing approximately 17% of the population live with cats. This increased popularity of cats invariably means that more cats are presented to veterinary surgeons for surge... Read More about Treatment of acute pain in cats.

An energy-stable time-integrator for phase-field models (2016)
Journal Article

We introduce a provably energy-stable time-integration method for general classes of phase-field models with polynomial potentials. We demonstrate how Taylor series expansions of the nonlinear terms present in the partial differential equations of th... Read More about An energy-stable time-integrator for phase-field models.

Strategic and operational considerations for the Extended Enterprise: insights from the aerospace industry (2016)
Journal Article

The extended enterprise (EE) paradigm has been adopted in the civil aerospace industry to enhance collaboration and product innovation among supply chain partners. Nevertheless, key aspects of this collaborative form remain poorly understood. In part...

Cognitive rehabilitation for memory deficits after stroke (2016)
Journal Article

Memory problems are common after a stroke, leading to difficulties in everyday life. Memory rehabilitation aims to help retrain lost functions or to teach patients strategies to compensate for them. Although some studies have reported positive outcom... Read More about Cognitive rehabilitation for memory deficits after stroke.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) with or without codeine or dihydrocodeine for neuropathic pain in adults (2016)

Stretching and Kibble scaling regimes for Hubble-damped defect networks (2016)
Journal Article

The cosmological evolution of topological defect networks can broadly be divided into two stages. At early times they are friction dominated due to particle scattering and therefore nonrelativistic and may either be conformally stretched or evolve in...
