Evaluation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a smoking cessation service in Derbyshire: An interrupted time series analysis (2024)
Journal Article

Background Data published early in the COVID-19 pandemic suggested that smokers infected with SARS-CoV-2 were more likely to need hospital treatment or die than non-smokers, and thus this was seen as a motivator to encourage smokers to make a quit a...

Modelling the role of enzymatic pathways in the metabolism of docosahexaenoic acid by monocytes and its association with osteoarthritic pain (2024)
Journal Article

Chronic pain is a major cause of disability and suffering in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Endogenous specialised pro-resolving molecules (SPMs) curtail pro-inflammatory responses. One of the SPM intermediate oxylipins, 17-hydroxydocasahexaenoic acid...

An apparent inductance online identification for sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (2024)
Journal Article

The model‐based sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) relies on the motor parameters. In practice, the considerable uncertainty of inductance and the difference between the apparent inductance and the incremental inductance...

Impact of Ground Heat Source Addition on Main Performance Parameters of Solar Chimney Power Plants: A Numerical Study (2024)
Journal Article

Solar energy systems can be an alternative to fossil fuels and are vital for a sustainable environment. It is promising that solar chimney power plants (SCPPs), which are among the solar energy systems, provide 24-hour power output (PO) and can work...

Sparsely PEGylated poly(beta-amino ester) polyplexes enhance antigen specific T-cell response of a bivalent SARS-CoV-2 DNA vaccine (2024)
Journal Article

DNA technology has emerged as a promising route to accelerated manufacture of sequence agnostic vaccines. For activity, DNA vaccines must be protected and delivered to the correct antigen presenting cells. However, the physicochemical properties of t...

"Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"? Feasibility, Fairness, and Ethical Concerns of a Citizen Carbon Budget for Reducing CO2 Emissions (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Radical and disruptive interventions are needed to reach "Net Zero" by 2050 to avert the climate catastrophe. Although governments, companies, cities, and institutions have pledged to take action and reduce their carbon emissions, the idea of persona...

A novel higher-order sliding mode control for DC-DC boost converter system in PMDC motor exploring mismatched disturbances (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to stabilize the rotating speed of the permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor driven by a DC-DC boost converter under mismatched disturbances (i.e.) under varying load circumstances like constant, frictiona...

Tracking the neurodevelopmental trajectory of beta band oscillations with optically pumped magnetometer-based magnetoencephalography (2024)
Journal Article

Neural oscillations mediate the coordination of activity within and between brain networks, supporting cognition and behaviour. How these processes develop throughout childhood is not only an important neuroscientific question but could also shed lig...

MRI and PFG NMR studies of percolation effects in advanced melting during a cryoporometry characterisation of disordered mesoporous alumina (2024)
Journal Article

Cryoporometry (or thermoporometry) offers a way of pore structural characterisation for mesoporous materials that often needs little sample preparation, is relatively quick, and is statistically-representative for macroscopic samples. While it is wel... Read More about MRI and PFG NMR studies of percolation effects in advanced melting during a cryoporometry characterisation of disordered mesoporous alumina.
