From masterplanning to adaptive planning : understanding the contemporary tools and processes for civic urban order by Bullivant, Lucy

“…Addressing the lack of unified and culturally aware analysis of the evolution in urban design and planning practice being applied in various contexts across the developed and developing world, I have, through my own international research programme over more than 15 years, traced their potentials for incubating renewal through a collection of published outputs, each with their own approach: a book, essays for the media and for exhibition catalogues and a webzine. …”

Market orientation and firm performance in Ghana's telecommunications industry by Arthur, Emmanuel

“…Finally, the study establishes that, when compared, subscribers and staff assessment of the dimensions of market orientation differed with staff rating them higher than subscribers. Based on the findings, the study recommends the need not only for mobile telecommunication operators to continue in the pursuit of market orientated activities, but also undertake measures to close the market orientation gap between them and their subscribers. …”

Anti-diabetic and pharmacological activities, of phytoestrogens by Roostaei, Davoud, Rezazadeh, S., Sharafi, S., White, Kenneth

“…Longer treatments with 10-4M to 10-6 M genistein resulted in gradual increase in glucose uptake to 2.4 times more than control, and thereafter a decline. Overall there was significant difference in glucose uptake between short and long term treatments, as indicated by two-way ANOVA, but the differences depend on the concentration of genistein, with higher concentrations of 10 and 100 μM inducing greater uptake after 24 hours treatment but at lower concentrations, uptake was stimulated more after a one hour treatment. …”

Application of reinforcement learning methods to computer game dynamics by Booth, David John

“…The motivation from current work is to shorten the time to achieve a workable policy solution by investigating the exploration / exploitation balance, overcome the curse of dimensionality of complex systems, and avoid the use of extra endogenous parameters which require multiple data passes and use a simple state aggregation rather than functional approximation. How action selection (AS) contributes to efficient learning is a key issue in RL since is determines the balance between exploiting and confirming the current policy or exploring an early less likely policy which may prove better in the long run. …”

Metamaterial-inspired antenna array for application in microwave breast imaging systems for tumor detection by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Shukla, Pancham, Parchin, Naser Ojaroudi, Azpilicueta, Leyre, See, Chan, Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Falcone, Francisco, Huynen, Isabelle, Denidni, Tayeb A., Limiti, Ernesto

“…The average reflection-coefficient of the array over its operating range is better than S11 ≤ −20 dB making it highly receptive to weak signals and minimizing the distortion encountered with the transmission of short duration pulse-trains. …”

Effect of n-3 (Omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers and body weight in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a systematic... by Khalili, Leila, Valdes-Ramos, Roxana, Harbige, Laurence S.

“…Furthermore, the findings revealed that the optimal dose and duration of n-3 consumption for patients with T2DM is 1000–2000 mg/d for more than 8 weeks. The present meta-analysis and review reveals that n-3 supplementation can improve glycemic factors and lipid profile in patients with T2DM. …”

A comprehensive survey on antennas on-chip based on metamaterial, metasurface, and substrate integrated waveguide principles for millimeter-waves and terahertz integrated circuits... by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Ali, Esraa Mousa, Soruri, Mohammad, Dalarsson, Mariana, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Stefanovic, Caslav, Pietrenko-Dabrowska, Anna, Koziel, Slawomir, Szczepanski, Stanislaw, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Typically, on-chip antennas are handicapped by narrow bandwidth (less than 10%) and low radiation efficiency. This survey provides an overview of recent techniques and technologies investigated in the literature, to implement high performance on-chip antennas for millimeter-waves (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) integrated-circuit (IC) applications. …”

Early and strong leptin reduction is predictive for long-term weight loss during high-protein, low-glycaemic meal replacement: a subanalysis of the randomised-controlled ACOORH tri... by Kempf, Kerstin, Röhling, Martin, Banzer, Winfried, Braumann, Klaus-Michael, Halle, Martin, Schaller, Nina, McCarthy, H. David, Predel, Hans Georg, Schenkenberger, Isabelle, Tan, Susanne, Toplak, Hermann, Martin, Stephan, Berg, Aloys

“…Since leptin is involved in weight regulation, we hypothesised that a meal replacement-based lifestyle intervention would reduce leptin levels more effectively than lifestyle intervention alone. In the international, multicentre, randomised-controlled ACOORH-trial (Almased-Concept-against-Overweight-and-Obesity-and-Related- Health-Risk), overweight or obese participants with metabolic syndrome criteria ( = 463) were randomised into two groups and received telemonitoring devices and nutritional advice. …”

“…In comparison, data indicates that UK psychotherapists also make adaptations, yet these are less extreme than in the US (Ballo, 2020). With poverty in the UK set to increase (Belfield et al., 2017), there is a need to provide appropriate interventions, especially as Counselling Psychologists often work in organisations/sectors providing therapy to those in poverty (DCoP, 2018; Rethink Mental Illness, 2020). …”

Prevalence of prediabetes in an urban Nigerian population using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score by Sowunmi, Oluwole Samuel, Bhakta, Dee

“…Results: Overall, 51.8% of the participants were assigned a risk of developing T2DM in the next 10 years, with a range of categories from slightly elevated to very high risk; 34.4% of the participants had a risk score of 7-11, indicating a slightly elevated risk; 11.2% of the participants had a risk score of 12-14, indicating a moderately elevated risk, while 5.3% of the participants had a risk score of 15-20, indicating a high risk and 0.9% of the participants had a risk score higher than 20 indicating very high elevated risk. The gender distribution of the risk scores showed that 1.7% of the males and 9.5% of the females had a moderate to high risk (score ≥ 12) of developing T2DM in the next 10 years. …”
