Laser fabrication of Cu nanoparticles based nanofluid with enhanced thermal conductivity: Experimental and molecular dynamics studies (2020)
Journal Article

Nanofluids are engineered colloidal suspensions of solid nanoparticles in aqueous and non-aqueous base fluids with enhanced thermo-physical characteristics compared to conventional heat transfer fluids (HTFs). In this study, we report on the fabricat... Read More about Laser fabrication of Cu nanoparticles based nanofluid with enhanced thermal conductivity: Experimental and molecular dynamics studies.

Association between serum urate, gout and comorbidities: a case–control study using data from the UK Biobank (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives To examine the association between comorbidities and serum urate (SU), gout and comorbidities, and to determine whether the association between gout and comorbidities is independent of SU. Methods We performed a case-control study using UK... Read More about Association between serum urate, gout and comorbidities: a case–control study using data from the UK Biobank.

Understanding the role of frontline employee felt obligation in services: 解读在服务领域一线员工中感知义务的作用 (2020)
Journal Article

Drawing on social exchange theory, this study investigates the mechanism of felt obligation underpinning the link between three key forms of perceived support (organization, supervisor, and team) and three key frontline employee work outcomes. The st... Read More about Understanding the role of frontline employee felt obligation in services: 解读在服务领域一线员工中感知义务的作用.

Patients' and kidney care team's perspectives of treatment burden and capacity in older people with chronic kidney disease: A qualitative study (2020)
Journal Article

Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often a multimorbid condition and progression to more severe disease is commonly associated with increased management requirements, including lifestyle change, more medication and greater clinician involvemen...

The Relationship of the Mechanisms of the Pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis and the Expression of Endogenous Retroviruses (2020)
Journal Article

Two human endogenous retroviruses of the HERV‐W family can act as cofactors triggering multiple sclerosis (MS): MS‐associated retrovirus (MSRV) and ERVWE1. Endogenous retroviral elements are believed to have integrated in our ancestors’ DNA millions...
