Boundary effects in a quasi-two-dimensional driven granular fluid (2017)
Journal Article

The effect of a confining boundary on the spatial variations in granular temperature of a driven quasi-2d layer of particles is investigated experimentally. The radial drop in the relative granular temperature ?T/T, exhibits a maximum at intermediate... Read More about Boundary effects in a quasi-two-dimensional driven granular fluid.

The systematic analysis of incidents has greatly expanded our understand... Read More about Safety analysis over time: seven major changes to adverse event investigation.

Effect of non-uniform illumination and temperature distribution on concentrating solar cell: a review (2017)
Journal Article

Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) technology as a typical PV application is becoming popular due to its advantages of high conversion efficiency and low cost etc. However an important issue for CPV technology is the non-uniformity on the illumination a...

Labour unionisation structure and product innovation (2017)
Journal Article

This paper contributes to the recently growing literature by examining the effects of different labour unionisation structures on innovation. Using a Cournot duopoly set up, we investigate the effects of centralised and decentralised labour unions on... Read More about Labour unionisation structure and product innovation.

Chlorine-induced high temperature corrosion of HVAF-sprayed Ni-based alumina and chromia forming coatings (2017)
Journal Article

Chlorine-induced corrosion of HVAF-sprayed Ni21Cr and Ni5Al coatings was investigated in 5 vol.% O2 + 500vppm HCl + N2 with and without KCl at 600 °C up to 168 h. Both coatings were protective in the absence of KCl. With KCl, Ni21Cr degraded through...

Optical detection and spatial modulation of mid-infrared surface plasmon polaritons in a highly doped semiconductor (2017)
Journal Article

Highly doped semiconductors (HDSCs) are promising candidates for plasmonic applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range. This work examines a recent addition to the HDSC family, the dilute nitride alloy In(AsN). Post-growth hydrogenation of...

Robert Southey and the Peninsular War (2017)
Book Chapter

This essay examines two aspects of Southey’s Romantic Iberianism that have often been overlooked—his writings on the peninsular conflict in the Edinburgh Annual Register and his unfinished series of inscriptions on the war. Both shed important light... Read More about Robert Southey and the Peninsular War.

Cellular pharmacology studies of anticancer agents: recommendations from the EORTC-PAMM group (2017)
Journal Article

An increasing number of manuscripts focus on the in vitro evaluation of established and novel anti-tumour agents in experimental models. Whilst the design of such in vitro assays is inherently flexible, some of these studies lack the minimum informat...

Prevalence and determinants of tobacco use among young people in the Gambia (2017)
Journal Article

Introduction: Tobacco consumption, and consequent morbidity and mortality, are expected to grow most markedly over coming decades in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Preventing tobacco experimentation and uptake among young people in LMICs is... Read More about Prevalence and determinants of tobacco use among young people in the Gambia.

A new vesicle trafficking regulator CTL1 plays a crucial role in ion homeostasis (2017)
Journal Article

Ion homeostasis is essential for plant growth and environmental adaptation, and maintaining ion homeostasis requires the precise regulation of various ion transporters, as well as correct root patterning. However, the mechanisms underlying these proc... Read More about A new vesicle trafficking regulator CTL1 plays a crucial role in ion homeostasis.

Oestrogen receptor negative early operable primary breast cancer in older women—biological characteristics and long-term clinical outcome (2017)
Journal Article

Background Older women are at the greatest risk of breast cancer development and a considerable number present with comorbidities. Although the majority of breast cancers in this age group express oestrogen receptor (ER), which makes endocrine the...

Gravity in the quantum lab (2017)
Journal Article

At the beginning of the previous century, Newtonian mechanics was advanced by two new revolutionary theories, Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR). Both theories have transformed our view of physical phenomena, with QM accurately predic... Read More about Gravity in the quantum lab.

Adolescents’ experiences of living with sickle cell disease: An integrative narrative review of the literature (2017)

Our analysis demonstrates that MEPs... Read More about Static and dynamic incentives for Twitter usage in the European Parliament.

Improving representation of riparian vegetation shading in a regional stream temperature model using LiDAR data (2017)
Journal Article

Modelling river temperature at the catchment scale is needed to understand how aquatic communities may adapt to current and projected climate change. In small and medium rivers, riparian vegetation can greatly reduce maximum water temperature by prov...
