Effects of seasonality on access to improved water in Benue State, Nigeria (2021)
Journal Article

Many people switch sources of drinking water and sanitation between seasons, yet such shifts are not reflected in the reporting of access to improved water and sanitation services by the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP). Drawing on quantitative and q... Read More about Effects of seasonality on access to improved water in Benue State, Nigeria.

On the Use of Carbon Cables from Plastic Solvent Combinations of Polystyrene and Toluene in Carbon Nanotube Synthesis (2021)
Journal Article

For every three people on the planet, there are approximately two Tonnes (Te) of plastic waste. We show that carbon recovery from polystyrene (PS) plastic is enhanced by the coaddition of solvents to grow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by liquid injection c...

A dual material removal mechanism for clearing of obstructed holes via electrical discharge machining (2021)
Journal Article

Cooling hole blockages in gas turbine blades can occur during operation, detrimentally reducing performance and resulting in premature removal from service. Here, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is used to unblock fine holes, which have been obs...

The DEVA trial: protocol for a randomised controlled trial of dequalinium chloride versus usual care antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age, and it is estimated that up to a third of women will experience it at some point in their lives. BV produces an offensive vaginal odour a...

Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain (2021)
Journal Article

Fluid entering the periphery of a steadily rotating cylindrical tank exits through an off-axis drain hole, located in the tank's base at the half-radius. Experiments show that, though a concentrated vortex forms over the drain, it soon advects around... Read More about Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain.

FcγRIIIa receptor interacts with androgen receptor and PIP5K1α to promote growth and metastasis of prostate cancer (2021)
Journal Article

Low-affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-A (FcγRIIIa) is a cell surface protein that belongs to a family of Fc receptors that facilitate the protective function of the immune system against pathogens.

SELCIE: a tool for investigating the chameleon field of arbitrary sources (2021)
Journal Article

The chameleon model is a modified gravity theory that introduces an additional scalar field that couples to matter through a conformal coupling. This `chameleon field' possesses a screening mechanism through a nonlinear self-interaction term which al...
