Experimental and numerical investigation to rationalize both near-infrared and mid-infrared spontaneous emission in Pr3+ doped selenide-chalcogenide fiber (2019)
Journal Article

This contribution reports on detailed experimental and numerical investigations of both near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) photoluminescence obtained in praseodymium trivalent ion doped chalcogenide-selenide glass fiber. The experimental anal... Read More about Experimental and numerical investigation to rationalize both near-infrared and mid-infrared spontaneous emission in Pr3+ doped selenide-chalcogenide fiber.

Discrete trajectories of resolving and persistent pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis despite undergoing treatment for inflammation: results from three UK cohorts (2019)
Journal Article

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an example of human chronic inflammatory pain. Modern treatments suppress inflammation, yet pain remains a major problem for many people with RA. We hypothesised that discrete RA subgroups might display favourable or unfa...

The effects of terlipressin and direct portacaval shunting on liver hemodynamics following 80% hepatectomy in the pig (2019)
Journal Article

Liver failure is the major cause of death following liver resection. Post-resection portal venous pressure (PVP) predicts liver failure, is implicated in its pathogenesis and when PVP is reduced, rates of liver dysfunction decrease. The aim of this s...

Forcible acts by states towards non-state actors operating in disputed waters: beyond the limits of international law? (2019)
Journal Article

The obligation of States to not use force against other States is well established in international law both on land and at sea. Unless authorized by the United Nations Security Council or based on self-defence, non-compliance with this rule is a bre...

Holistic engineering of Cal-A lipase chain-length selectivity identifies triglyceride binding hot-spot (2019)
Journal Article

Through the application of a region-focused saturation mutagenesis and randomization approach, protein engineering of the Cal-A enzyme was undertaken with the goal of conferring new triglyceride selectivity. Little is known about the mode of triglyce... Read More about Holistic engineering of Cal-A lipase chain-length selectivity identifies triglyceride binding hot-spot.

Clinical utility of existing and second-generation interferon-γ release assays for diagnostic evaluation of tuberculosis: an observational cohort study (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Background: The clinical utility of interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) for diagnosis of active tuberculosis is unclear, although they are commonly used in countries with a low incidence of tuberculosis. We aimed to resolve this c... Read More about Clinical utility of existing and second-generation interferon-γ release assays for diagnostic evaluation of tuberculosis: an observational cohort study.

The interaction between viral and environmental risk factors in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (2019)
Journal Article

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic debilitating inflammatory disease of unknown ethology targeting the central nervous system (CNS). MS has a polysymptomatic onset and is usually first diagnosed between the ages of 20–40 years. The pathology of the...

An efficient algorithm for computing exact system and survival signatures of K-terminal network reliability (2019)
Journal Article

An efficient algorithm is presented for computing exact system and survival signatures of K-terminal reliability in undirected networks with unreliable edges. K-terminal reliability is defined as the probability that a subset K of the network nodes c...

The influence of non-ionic surfactants on electrosynthesis in extended channel, narrow gap electrolysis cells (2019)
Journal Article

It is demonstrated that the addition of a non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100 or Brij L23) to the electrolyte medium leads to a significant improvement to the current efficiency for the methoxylation of N-formylpyrrolidine in a flow electrolysis cell...

Participatory research approaches to integrating scientific and farmer knowledge of soil to meet multiple objectives in the English East Midlands (2019)
Journal Article

Soil management influences food production, economic performance of farm businesses, and a range of public benefits such as water quality, flood control and aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. The aim of this paper is to explore the role of part...

A Framework for Environmental Mitigation in Convention and Exhibition Centers in the China Greater Bay Area (2019)
Journal Article

The numerous participants in convention and exhibition (C&E) events and the consequently huge consumption of direct and indirect resources have increased the environmental pressure on C&E centers to implement environmentally friendly practices and pr...

Service innovation through resource integration: An empirical examination of co-created value using telehealth services (2019)
Journal Article

Scholars, policymakers and practitioners recognise the potential to improve public services through active citizen involvement and much research has examined the formal opportunities to 'co-produce' changes in the structures and cultures of public se...
