Continuous Autoregulatory Indices Derived from Multi-modal Monitoring
We assess the relationships between various continuous measures of autoregulatory capacity in an adult TBI cohort. We assessed relationships between autoregulatory indices derived from intracranial pressure (ICP: PRx, PAx, RAC)...
Optimizing the Cross-sectional Shapes of Extruded Aluminium Structural Members for Unitized Curtain Wall Facades
Curtain walls are lightweight, weathertight, exterior facades. They are capable of resisting wind loads, but provide no support for the building it to which they are attached. Although they are used to enclose many different...
Highly Tunable Colloidal Perovskite Nanoplatelets through Variable Cation, Metal, and Halide Composition.
Colloidal perovskite nanoplatelets are a promising class of semiconductor nanomaterials-exhibiting bright luminescence, tunable and spectrally narrow absorption and emission features, strongly confined excitonic states, and...
Development and field trial of a driver assistance system to encourage eco-driving in light commercial vehicle fleets
Driver training schemes and eco-driving techniques can reduce fuel
consumption by 10% but their effectiveness depends on the willingness of drivers to change their behaviour, and changes may be short lived. On board driver...

Removal of CO2 from a submersible atmosphere by scrubbing with water
In order to explore methods of removing CO2 from submersible habitats with sea water, gas scrubbing experiments (using tap water, and tap water with 3.5 wt% sea salt) were performed in a 108 mm i.d. pilot-scale column...

Risk factors for injury in sport climbing and bouldering
Background Rock climbing is an increasingly popular sport worldwide, as a recreational activity and a competitive sport. Several disciplines including sport climbing and bouldering have developed, each employing specific...

Manufacturing of metal-organic framework monoliths and their application in CO<sub>2 </sub>adsorption
An important class of novel mesoporous and microporous adsorbents like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are normally produced in powder form. This paper presents a generic method of manufacturing and characterisation of these...
Monitoring ship noise to assess the impact of coastal developments on marine mammals
The potential impacts of underwater noise on marine mammals are widely recognised, but uncertainty over variability in baseline noise levels often constrains efforts to manage these impacts. This paper characterises natural and...
Interactive sketch-driven image synthesis
We present an interactive system for composing realistic images of an object under arbitrary pose and appearance specified by sketching. Our system draws inspiration from a traditional illustration workflow: The user first...
Enabling High Spectral Resolution of Liquid Mixtures in Porous Media by Antidiagonal Projections of Two-Dimensional 1H NMR COSY Spectra.
The noninvasive, in situ chemical identification of liquid mixtures confined in porous materials is experimentally challenging. NMR is chemically resolved and applicable to optically opaque systems but suffers from a significant...
Assimilating Radial Distribution Functions To Build Water Models with Improved Structural Properties.
The structural properties of three- and four-site water models are improved by extending the ForceBalance parametrization code to include a new methodology allowing for the targeting of any radial distribution function (RDF)...
Histone H2A-H2B binding by Pol α in the eukaryotic replisome contributes to the maintenance of repressive chromatin.
The eukaryotic replisome disassembles parental chromatin at DNA replication forks, but then plays a poorly understood role in the re-deposition of the displaced histone complexes onto nascent DNA. Here, we show that yeast DNA...
Direct response of tree growth to soil water and its implications for terrestrial carbon cycle modelling.

Wood growth constitutes the main process for long-term atmospheric carbon sequestration in vegetation. However, our understanding of the process of wood growth and its response to environmental drivers is limited. Current...
Numerical simulation of a hybrid trapped field magnet lens (HTFML) magnetized by pulsed fields

Jul 31, 2020
Abstract: The hybrid trapped field magnet lens (HTFML) is a promising device that is able to concentrate a magnetic field higher than an applied background field continuously, even after removing a background field, which was...
Soluble FLT1 sensitizes endothelial cells to inflammatory cytokines by antagonizing VEGF receptor-mediated signalling.
AIMS: Pre-eclampsia affects 5-7% of pregnancies, and is a major cause of maternal and foetal death. Elevated serum levels of placentally derived splice variants of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, soluble...

Chromosome instability and carcinogenesis
Chromosomal instability is a hallmark of human cancer cells, but its role in carcinogenesis remains poorly resolved. Insights into this role have emerged from studies on the tumour suppressor BRCA2, whose inactivation in human...

Improved estimates of coordinate error for molecular replacement.
The estimate of the root-mean-square deviation (r.m.s.d.) in coordinates between the model and the target is an essential parameter for calibrating likelihood functions for molecular replacement (MR). Good estimates of the...
Determination of physical properties and thermal conductivity of graphite foam with image analysis
Since pore network structures of porous materials have irregular shapes and may vary in size, the accurate characterization and virtual 3D reconstruction of these materials are of great importance for a deeper understanding of...
