The Battle of Brunanburh: The Yorkshire Hypothesis (2022)
Journal Article

Disputes about where the battle of Brunanburh in 937 was fought continue, but in recent years one particular area, Yorkshire, has been proposed by Michael Wood. This article re-examines some of the strategic detail underlying assumptions about York a... Read More about The Battle of Brunanburh: The Yorkshire Hypothesis.

Embroidered narratives (2022)
Book Chapter

This essay will argue for the importance of embroidered textiles as artifacts that provide a unique window to the participation of women in Early Medieval England in the political, socio-economic, and intellectual life of the period.² Textile gifts p... Read More about Embroidered narratives.

On the maximum dual volume of a canonical Fano polytope (2022)
Journal Article

We give an upper bound on the volume vol(P*) of a polytope P* dual to a d-dimensional lattice polytope P with exactly one interior lattice point, in each dimension d. This bound, expressed in terms of the Sylvester sequence, is sharp, and is achieved... Read More about On the maximum dual volume of a canonical Fano polytope.

Interventions for the eradication of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in people with cystic fibrosis (2022)
Journal Article

Background Cystic fibrosis is an inherited recessive disorder of chloride transport that is characterised by recurrent and persistent pulmonary infections from resistant organisms that result in lung function deterioration and early mortality in suf...

Attention and Interhemispheric Communication: Implications for Language Dominance (2022)
Journal Article

Dominance of the left hemisphere for language processing is a prominent feature of brain organisation. Whereas structural models clarify the functional asymmetry due to direct access to local language circuits, dynamic models propose functional state...

Techniques for managing an impacted fetal head at caesarean section: A systematic review (2022)
Journal Article

A complication arising at caesarean birth when the baby's head is deeply engaged in the pelvis and may be difficult to deliver, is known as an ‘impacted fetal head’. This obstetric emergency occurs in 16% of second stage caesarean sections. Multiple... Read More about Techniques for managing an impacted fetal head at caesarean section: A systematic review.

A theoretical framework underlying an accelerated testing method and its application to composites under constant strain rates and fatigue loading (2022)
Journal Article

A theoretical framework that underlies an accelerated testing method for unidirectional (UD) composites is proposed in this article, based on the continuum damage mechanics and time-temperature superposition. By the way of demonstration, it has been... Read More about A theoretical framework underlying an accelerated testing method and its application to composites under constant strain rates and fatigue loading.

Double diaphragm forming simulation for net-shape component using multi-layered biaxial non-crimp fabrics (2022)
Journal Article

Compared to autoclave-cured prepreg, liquid composite moulding (LCM) is a cost-effective alternative to produce advanced composites, thanks to the less-expensive intermediate materials, lower capital investment and shorter cycle time. A separate pref... Read More about Double diaphragm forming simulation for net-shape component using multi-layered biaxial non-crimp fabrics.

Crop improvements for future‐proofing European food systems: A focus‐group‐driven analysis of agricultural production stakeholder priorities and viewpoints (2022)
Journal Article

Crop breeding is one of the main tools which can assist in future-proofing food systems for more sustainable outcomes. In order to ensure priorities are aligned with the needs and wants of food system actors, it is essential to engage with key stakeh...

meta-Selective C–H arylation of phenols via regiodiversion of electrophilic aromatic substitution (2022)
Journal Article

Electrophilic aromatic substitution is among the most widely used mechanistic manifolds in organic chemistry. Access to certain substitution patterns is, however, precluded by intrinsic and immutable substituent effects that ultimately restrict the d...

A continuum framework for phase field with bulk-surface dynamics (2022)
Journal Article

This continuum mechanical theory aims at detailing the underlying rational mechanics of dynamic boundary conditions proposed by Fischer et al. (Phys Rev Lett 79:893, 1997), Goldstein et al. (Phys D Nonlinear Phenom 240:754–766, 2011), and Knopf et al... Read More about A continuum framework for phase field with bulk-surface dynamics.

Online Parent Training for The Initial Management of ADHD referrals (OPTIMA): the protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a digital parenting intervention implemented to support parents and children on a treatment waitlist (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Children referred for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often present with a broader pattern of conduct problems including oppositionality and defiance. This combination can be extremely stressful to parents, lower parents’...

No evidence for persistent natural plague reservoirs in historical and modern Europe (2022)
Journal Article

Caused by Yersinia pestis, plague ravaged the world through three known pandemics: the First or the Justinianic (6th–8th century); the Second (beginning with the Black Death during c.1338–1353 and lasting until the 19th century); and the Third (which...
