Weak Sequential Completeness of Uniform Algebras (2024)
Journal Article
We give a simple, elementary proof that a uniform algebra is weakly sequentially complete if and only if it is finite-dimensional.
The role of religion in shaping the values of nature (2024)
Journal Article
Environmental discourse frequently understands the values of nature as being instrumental, intrinsic, or relational and measured in biophysical, sociocultural, or monetary terms. Yet these specific values and value indicators are underpinned by world... Read More about The role of religion in shaping the values of nature.
The effect of element interactivity and mental rehearsal on working memory resource depletion and the spacing effect (2024)
Journal Article
The spacing effect occurs when learning with rest periods is superior to learning without rest periods. Cognitive load theory has explained this superiority by working memory resource depletion, under which resources are depleted during cognitive act...

Life after crime and punishment? Lifestyles changes and quaternary desistance (2024)
Journal Article
Studies of why people stop offending have been one of the considerable growth areas of criminology and life-course studies since the early-1990s. Initially the research focused on assessing the extent to which people who had offending did cease offen... Read More about Life after crime and punishment? Lifestyles changes and quaternary desistance.
Asynchronous learning-based output feedback sliding mode control for semi-Markov jump systems: a descriptor approach (2024)
Journal Article
This paper presents an asynchronous output-feedback control strategy of semi-Markovian systems via sliding mode-based learning technique. Compare with most literature results that require exact prior knowledge of system state and mode information, an...

A polygenic risk score for alcohol-related cirrhosis among heavy drinkers with European ancestry (2024)
Journal Article
Background & Aims: Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) based on results from genome-wide association studies offer the prospect of risk stratification for many common and complex diseases. We developed a PRS for alcohol-related cirrhosis by comparing SNPs am... Read More about A polygenic risk score for alcohol-related cirrhosis among heavy drinkers with European ancestry.
MicroRNA biogenesis is broadly disrupted by inhibition of the splicing factor SF3B1 (2024)
Journal Article
In animals, microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with cotranscriptional clea v age of the primary (pri-)miRNA b y the Microprocessor comple x. Cotranscriptional splicing has been shown to influence Microprocessor clea v age when miRNAs are hosted in in...

Work-related smartphone use during off-job hours and work-life conflict: a scoping review (2024)
Journal Article
Over recent decades the use of smartphones for work purposes has burgeoned both within and beyond working hours. The aim of the study was to conduct a scoping review to explore the association between the use of smartphone technology for work purpose...

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.
Enhancing the thermal cyclic reliability of salt-based shape-stabilized phase change materials by in-situ SiO2–C interconnectivity in rice husk carbon (2024)
Journal Article
Utilizing salt-based shape-stabilized phase change materials (ss-PCMs) for high-temperature thermal energy storage stands as a pivotal avenue in realizing carbon neutrality. However, the performance of ss-PCMs significantly deteriorates after thermal...

Sub-optimal paternal diet at the time of mating disrupts maternal adaptations to pregnancy in the late gestation mouse (2024)
Journal Article
Pregnancy represents a stage during which maternal physiology and homeostatic regulation undergo dramatic change and adaptation. The fundamental purpose of these adaptations are to ensure the survival of her offspring through adequate nutrient provis...

Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture (2024)
Journal Article
Building soil health and manipulating the soil microbiome, alongside targeted plant breeding that prioritizes preferential root architectural development, hold the key to the future success of regenerative agriculture. Greater integration is needed b... Read More about Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture.
Addressing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in JBI Qualitative Systematic Reviews: A Methodological Scoping Review (2024)
Journal Article
Objective: To investigate ways in which qualitative review teams are addressing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the process of conducting and reporting qualitative systematic reviews which utilize JBI guidelines. Introduction: In order to... Read More about Addressing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in JBI Qualitative Systematic Reviews: A Methodological Scoping Review.

Molecular dynamics simulation of bulk nano-oxygen-bubble fuel under high-pressure transport and sudden pressure drop process (2024)
Journal Article
Aiming at the injection process of bubbly flow fuel, the molecular dynamics simulation was performed to study the change of bulk nano-oxygen-bubble (BNB) fuel during high-pressure transport and sudden pressure drop process. The static processes of BN... Read More about Molecular dynamics simulation of bulk nano-oxygen-bubble fuel under high-pressure transport and sudden pressure drop process.
The acceptability of Group B streptococcal bacteria (GBS) testing to women, including self-swabbing procedures: a qualitative study (2024)
Journal Article
Background Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a bacterium carried by 20-25% of pregnant women in the UK, which can be transmitted from pregnant women to their babies at the time of birth. Women can be tested for GBS in pregnancy using a vaginal-rectal s...

Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps (2024)
Journal Article
Oak gall wasps have evolved strategies to manipulate the developmental pathways of their host to induce gall formation. This provides shelter and nutrients for the developing larva. Galls are entirely host tissue; however, the initiation, development... Read More about Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps.
