Advancing a Human Factors & Ethics Canvas for New Driver Assistance Technologies Targeted at Older Adults
(Springer, Cham, 2020)Automated driving solutions represent a potential solution to promoting driver persistence and the management of fitness to drive issues in older adults. This paper reports on the application of a ‘Human Factors & Ethics ... -
All-printed capacitors from graphene-BN-graphene nanosheet heterostructures
(2016)This work aims to develop methodologies to print pinhole-free, vertically stacked heterostructures by sequential deposition of conductive graphene and dielectric h-BN nanosheet networks. We achieve this using a combination ... -
Coupling of lysosomal and mitochondrial membrane permeabilization in trypanolysis by APOL1.
(2015)Humans resist infection by the African parasite Trypanosoma brucei owing to the trypanolytic activity of the serum apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1). Following uptake by endocytosis in the parasite, APOL1 forms pores in ... -
Demand-Responsive Zone Generation for Real-Time Vehicle Rebalancing in Ride-Sharing Fleets
(2020)Enabling Ride-sharing (RS) in existing Mobility-on demand (MoD) systems allows to reduce the operating vehicle fleet size while achieving a similar level of service. This however requires an efficient vehicle to multiple ... -
Electrically Small Multimodal 3D Beamforming MIMO Antenna for PHY-Layer Security
This work proposes an electrically small 3D beam- forming antenna for PHYsical Layer (PHY-layer) security. The antenna comprises two layers of stacked patch structures, and is a five-mode five-port MIMO system operating ... -
Evolution of oxygen functionalities in graphene oxide and its impact on structure and exfoliation: An oxidation time based study
(2018)Control over oxygen functionalities is important for the realization of Graphene Oxide (GO) based applications. Evolution of oxygen functionalities with time of oxidation and its impact on GO structure, exfoliation and ... -
From Bounded Checking to Verification of Equivalence via Symbolic Up-to Techniques
(Springer, 2022)We present a bounded equivalence verification technique for higher-order programs with local state. This technique combines fully abstract symbolic environmental bisimulations similar to symbolic game semantics, novel up-to ... -
Graphene-MoS<inf>2</inf> nanosheet composites as electrodes for dye sensitised solar cells
(2016)the platinum counter electrode in Dye-Senstized Solar Cells with a cheaper material has attracted much attention recently. Graphene, graphene oxide and other 2-dimensional materials have received significant attention. ... -
Immunophilin-protein interactions in Plasmodium falciparum.
(2015)Immunophilins comprise two protein families, cyclophilins (CYPs) and FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), and are the major receptors for the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 (tacrolimus), respectively. ... -
Liquid phase exfoliation of GeS nanosheets in ambient conditions for lithium ion battery applications
(2020)The propensity of many 2D materials to oxidize in ambient conditions can complicate production and limit applications potential. Here we describe ambient liquid phase exfoliation of GeS, a layered material known for its ... -
Metabolic reprogramming during the Trypanosoma brucei life cycle
(2017)Cellular metabolic activity is a highly complex, dynamic, regulated process that is influenced by numerous factors, including extracellular environmental signals, nutrient availability and the physiological and developmental ... -
Metallic Nitride and Carbide Perovskites: History and Prospects
(2022)Energy-level diagrams for cubic metallic Fe4N and Mn4N were proposed by Goodenough in the late 1960s. Fe4N is ferromagnetic, but Mn4N is ferrimagnetic with a large moment on Mnc at the cube corner site and a much smaller ... -
The Mitochondrial Genes BAK1, FIS1 and SFN are Linked with Alterations in Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Barrett?s Esophagus
(2018)Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer lack prognostic markers that allow the tailoring of personalized medicine and biomarkers with potential to provide insight into treatment response. This study aims to characterize ... -
Numerical analysis of acoustic noise from an electronic cooling fan at flow disturbed by an external obstacle
(internoise2022.org, 2022-08-24)Axial cooling fans are widely used in data center dense Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage systems. However, these fans emit high noise levels and degrade HDD performance at certain frequencies. Flow at the fan's inlet can ... -
On the Efficiency of Miniaturized 360° Beam-Scanning Antenna
(IEEE, 2019)The efficiency and beam-scanning performance of a compact, beam reconfigurable antenna are presented. The proposed design provides a 360° reconfigurable bidirectional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane by using phase ... -
Pentacyclic triterpenes modulate farnesoid X receptor expression in colonic epithelial cells: implications for colonic secretory function.
(2022)The nuclear bile acid receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), is an important regulator of intestinal and metabolic function. Previous studies suggest that pentacyclic triterpenes (PCTs), a class of plant-derived bioactive ... -
Protein Kinase C Beta II suppresses colorectal cancer by regulating IGF-1 mediated cell survival
(2016)Despite extensive efforts, cancer therapies directed at the Protein Kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases have failed in clinical trials. These therapies have been directed at inhibiting PKC and have, in some ... -
