Discovery of a polymer resistant to bacterial biofilm, swarming, and encrustation (2023)
Journal Article

Innovative approaches to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are urgently required. Here, we describe the discovery of an acrylate copolymer capable of resisting single- and multispecies bacterial biofilm formation, swarming...

“Greedy” demand adjustment in cooperative games (2023)
Journal Article

This paper studies a simple process of demand adjustment in cooperative games. In the process, a randomly chosen player makes the highest possible demand subject to the demands of other coalition members being satisfied. This process converges to the...

Enhanced progesterone support during stimulated cycles of transvaginal follicular aspiration improves bovine in vitro embryo production (2023)
Journal Article

The in vitro production (IVP) of cattle embryos requires that germinal-vesicle stage oocytes undergo a period of maturation in vitro prior to fertilization and culture to the blastocyst stage. Success of IVP in taurine cattle is enhanced following ov...

Dusty Starbursts Masquerading as Ultra-high Redshift Galaxies in JWST CEERS Observations (2023)
Journal Article

Lyman-break galaxy (LBG) candidates at z ≳ 10 are rapidly being identified in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam observations. Due to the (redshifted) break produced by neutral hydrogen absorption of rest-frame UV photons, these sources are exp...

A generality analysis of multiobjective hyper-heuristics (2023)
Journal Article

Selection hyper-heuristics have emerged as high level general-purpose search methodologies that mix and control a set of low-level (meta) heuristics. Previous empirical studies over a range of single objective optimisation problems have shown that th... Read More about A generality analysis of multiobjective hyper-heuristics.

Influence of air exposure on structural isomers of silver nanoparticles (2023)
Journal Article

Up to date, the influence of ambient air exposure on the energetics and stability of silver clusters has rarely been investigated and compared to clusters in vacuum. Silver clusters up to 3000 atoms in size, on an amorphous carbon film, have been exp... Read More about Influence of air exposure on structural isomers of silver nanoparticles.

Extra‐hepatic Morbidity and Mortality in Alcohol‐related Liver Disease: Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis (2023)
Journal Article

Background Alcohol use increases the risk of many conditions in addition to liver disease; patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) are therefore at risk from both extra-hepatic and hepatic disease. Aims This review synthesises informat... Read More about Extra‐hepatic Morbidity and Mortality in Alcohol‐related Liver Disease: Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis.

Lignin recovery from cocoa bean shell using microwave-assisted extraction and deep eutectic solvents (2023)
Journal Article

Lignin is the second most abundant natural polymer after cellulose, and valorisation of lignin-rich streams has attracted increasing attention recently. This paper presents a novel and sustainable method to recover lignin from Cocoa Bean Shells (CBS)...

A Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Himbert Diene Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis (2023)
Journal Article

Chiral dienes are important ligands in asymmetric catalysis but they are less accessible than other commonly used ligands such as chiral bisphosphines. Here, we show that intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of a simply attained chiral allenecarboxan... Read More about A Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Himbert Diene Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis.

“We Just Don’t Know Where They Are”: The Geographical Distribution of Exercise Classes for Older People, Including Those Living with Dementia in the East Midlands (2023)
Journal Article

Older people living with dementia are advised to exercise to remain independent. Although several exercise classes for older people take place across the UK, there is limited information about the geographical distribution of these classes. This stud...

Losses from cross-holdings in a duopoly with convex cost and strategic input price determination (2023)
Journal Article

It is well-known that positive output externality on the outside firms is the reason for unprofitable passive cross-holding, which refers to a situation where a producer holds non-controlling shares in rival firms. Considering a final goods market wi... Read More about Losses from cross-holdings in a duopoly with convex cost and strategic input price determination.
