‘Beyond the Reach of Palliative Care’: A Qualitative Study of Patient and Public Experiences and Anticipation of Death and Dying (2024)
Journal Article

The demands and costs of health care resulting from increasingly ageing populations have become a major public health issue in the United Kingdom and other industrially developed nations. Concern with cost containment and shortage of resources has pr...

Altered landscape of total RNA, tRNA and sncRNA modifications in the liver and spleen of mice infected by Toxoplasma gondii (2024)
Journal Article

Background Pathogens can impact host RNA modification machinery to establish a favorable cellular environment for their replication. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Toxoplasma gondii infection on host RNA modification profiles...

Design and optimization of a thermoelectric generator with dimple fins to achieve higher net power (2024)
Journal Article

To enhance the performance of the automobile thermoelectric generator (ATEG), this study proposes a heat exchanger with dimple fins, where the number of dimples systematically increases along the direction of exhaust flow. The innovative combination... Read More about Design and optimization of a thermoelectric generator with dimple fins to achieve higher net power.

A classical hypothesis test for assessing the homogeneity of disease transmission in stochastic epidemic models (2024)
Journal Article

This paper addresses the problem of assessing the homogeneity of the disease transmission process in stochastic epidemic models in populations that are partitioned into social groups. We develop a classical hypothesis test for completed epidemics whi... Read More about A classical hypothesis test for assessing the homogeneity of disease transmission in stochastic epidemic models.

A novel and selective fluorescent ligand for the study of adenosine A2B receptors (2024)
Journal Article

Fluorescent ligands have proved to be powerful tools in the study of G protein-coupled receptors in living cells. Here we have characterised a new fluorescent ligand PSB603-BY630 that has high selectivity for the human adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR).... Read More about A novel and selective fluorescent ligand for the study of adenosine A2B receptors.

Greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs: emission processes and management approaches (2024)
Journal Article

Hydropower reservoirs, as vital inland waters bodies of anthropogenic origin, exhibit distinct characteristics from natural waters, thereby garnering research interest in the quantification and mapping of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this revie... Read More about Greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs: emission processes and management approaches.

Direct formation of copper nanoparticles from atoms at graphitic step edges lowers overpotential and improves selectivity of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (2024)
Journal Article

A key strategy for minimizing our reliance on precious metals is to increase the fraction of surface atoms and improve the metal-support interface. In this work, we employ a solvent/ligand/counterion-free method to deposit copper in the atomic form d... Read More about Direct formation of copper nanoparticles from atoms at graphitic step edges lowers overpotential and improves selectivity of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism (2024)
Journal Article

Despite hundreds of studies examining belief in conspiracy theories, it is still unclear who—demographically—is most likely to believe such theories. To remedy this knowledge gap, we examine survey data containing various operationalizations of consp... Read More about The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism.

Exploring galaxy evolution time-scales in clusters: insights from the projected phase space (2024)
Journal Article

Galaxies infalling into clusters undergo both star-formation quenching and morphological transformation due to environmental effects. We investigate these processes and their timescales using a local sample of 20,191 cluster and 11,674 field galaxies...

The automorphisms of differential extensions of characteristic p (2024)
Journal Article

Nonassociative differential extensions are generalizations of associative differential extensions, either of a purely inseparable field extension K of exponent one of a field F , F of characteristic p, or of a central division algebra over a purely i...

Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media (2024)
Journal Article

We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction induces an optical nonlocal nonlinearity. We focus on local nonlinear (...

Breathing space amidst the permanence of racism in the academy (2024)
Journal Article

This paper presents evidence that sheds light on both the limitations and the possibilities of race-focused staff forums that have formed across UK higher education as part of a response to equality legislation. Based on interviews conducted with thi... Read More about Breathing space amidst the permanence of racism in the academy.

Conceptualising the art of belonging for young refugees and asylum-seekers: reflections from England and Sweden (2024)
Journal Article

The concept of belonging has grown in prominence in research and policy relating to new arrivals from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds. Arguably, belonging is replacing integration and inclusion as the panacea to perceived problems associated w...

Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans (2024)
Journal Article

We report the first total syntheses of simonsol F (3), simonsinol (5), fargenin (4), and macranthol (6) in addition to syntheses of simonsol C (2), simonsol G (1), and honokiol (14). The syntheses are based upon a phosphonium ylide-mediated cascade r... Read More about Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans.

‘Involuntary exit for personal reasons’ – A gendered critique of the business exit decision (2024)
Journal Article

Women are more likely to exit from entrepreneurship for personal reasons; such exits are deemed uneventful and voluntary. We critically evaluate such assumptions by adopting a gendered critique to unpack the nature of such personal reasons arguing th...

Needle fasciotomy versus limited fasciectomy for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contractures of the fingers (Hand-2): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Dupuytren’s contractures (DC) are fibrous cords under the skin of the hand that cause one or more fingers to curl gradually and irreversibly towards the palm. These contractures are usually painless but can cause a loss of hand function....
