Single-pulse all-optical switching in amorphous DyxCo1-x and TbxCo1-x
(2022)Repeated uniform switching of the magnetization of thin films of ferrimagnetic amorphous Gdx(FeCo)1−x in response to single fast laser pulses is well established. Here, we report unusual toggle switching in thin films of ... -
Two- and three-dimensional in vitro nucleus pulposus cultures: An in silico analysis of local nutrient microenvironments
(2022)Background It is well established that the unique biochemical microenvironment of the intervertebral disc plays a predominant role in cell viability and biosynthesis. However, unless the effect of microenvironmental ... -
Rat tail models for the assessment of injectable nucleus pulposus regeneration strategies
(2022)Back pain is a global epidemiological and socioeconomic problem often associated with intervertebral disc degeneration; a condition believed to initiate in the nucleus pulposus (NP). There is considerable interest in ... -
Feasibility Study of an Industrial Moisture Content Sensor Based on Wheeler Cap
(IEEE, 2021)The paper proposes a technique for sensing of moisture content of a waste paper block based on Wheeler Cap measurement method. The technique allows sufficient penetration into the sample due to relatively low frequencies ... -
Design limitations of using magnetic inductive coupling to verify nasogastric tube placement
(2023)Nasogastric tube insertion is a standard procedure but with potentially fatal consequences if misplaced. Many bedside methods have been proposed for identifying misplace- ment including magnetic inductive coupling. This ... -
Pathway to Demonstrating Clinical Efficacy of MIcrowave Breast Imaging: Qualitative and Quantitative Performance Assessment
(2022)n the last five years alone, there has been an increasing number of operational microwave breast imaging systems used in clinical trials, with increasingly large and diverse patient populations. However, despite this ... -
Clinically-assisted hydration in patients in the last days of life (?CHELSEA II? trial): a cluster randomised trial
(2022)Introduction Provision of clinically assisted hydration (CAH) at the end of life is one of the most contentious issues in medicine. The aim of the ‘CHELsea II’ trial is to evaluate CAH in patients in the last days of life. ... -
Hard borders and soft agreements: Evaluating governance within the Global Compact for Migration
(Routledge, 2023)Welcomed as a milestone in the governance of transnational migration, the adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration marked a significant step forward in international cooperation on migration ... -
Energy-Efficient Physical Layer Security for Wearable IoT Devices
(2023)This work proposes an energy-efficient Directional Modulation (DM) scheme for on-body Internet of Things (IoT) devices. DM performance is tested using a 5-port stacked-patch MIMO antenna under two scenarios: free space ... -
Flexible Multimode-Based Beamforming MIMO Antenna
(2023)This work proposes compact, flexible Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas. The design principle is based on the excitation of different orthogonal radiating modes within the same antenna volume. Via phase ... -
Electrically Small Multimodal 3D Beamforming MIMO Antenna for PHY-Layer Security
(2023)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 ... -
An online tiered screening procedure to identify mental health problems among refugees.
(2023)Background Many refugees suffer from mental health problems due to stressful and traumatic events before, during, and after migration. However, refugees are facing a wide variety of barriers, limiting their access to ... -
AN EMERGING PANTON-VALENTINE (PVL)-POSITIVE CC5-METICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus-IVc CLONE RECEOVERED FROM HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS OVER A 17-YEAR PERIOD FROM 12 COUNTRIES INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2023)Background A novel Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clonal complex (CC)5-MRSA-IVc (‘Sri Lankan’ clone) was recently described from Sri Lanka. Similar isolates ... -
Development of SIRT1 siRNA-carrying liposomes for treatment of prostate cancer
(2020)Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) from Sirtuin family and high expression of it induces activation of DNA repairing factors eventually leading either tumor suppression or tumor development in cellular ... -
Evaluation of the effect of solid and cationic lipids on siRNA delivery systems
(2020)This study aims to develop nanoparticles with different types of solid and cationic lipids and evaluate them as siRNA delivery systems. For this purpose, we prepared a series of lipid nanoparticles by combining cationic ... -
A promising approach to develop nanostructured lipid carriers from solid lipid nanoparticles: preparation, characterization, cytotoxicity and nucleic acid binding ability
(2020)We aimed to develop nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) displaying similar characteristics – particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential – with the model solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for better comparability. ... -
Development of EphA2 siRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles and combination with a small-molecule histone demethylase inhibitor in prostate cancer cells and tumor spheroids.
(2021)Background siRNAs hold a great potential for cancer therapy, however, poor stability in body fluids and low cellular uptake limit their use in the clinic. To enhance the bioavailability of siRNAs in tumors, novel, safe, ... -
Pathways to decarbonising the transport sector: The impacts of electrifying taxi fleets
(2023)The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge to introduce policies aiming to limit the increasing temperature. One of the strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion ... -
The growth of high-crystalline quality M n 2 Au (110) thin films
(2022)Mn2Au is a bimetallic antiferromagnetic with an extraordinarily high Néel temperature of 1600 K. Mn2Au has also been found to demonstrate Néel-order spin–orbit torque, allowing for electrical switching of the antiferromagnetic ...
