Infrared spectroscopy of NaCl(CH3OH)n complexes in helium nanodroplets by Sadoon, Ahmed M., Sarma, Gautam, Cunningham, Ethan M., Tandy, Jonathan D., Hanson-Heine, Magnus W. D., Besley, Nicholas A., Yang, Shengfu, Ellis, Andrew M.

“…These complexes were formed in liquid helium nanodroplets by consecutive pick-up of NaCl and CH3OH molecules. For the smallest NaCl(CH3OH)n, complexes where n = 1−3, the IR data suggest that the lowest-energy isomer is the primary product in each case. …”

Novel opto-electronic and plastic fibre sensors by Ioannides, Nicos

“…The middle POF is coupled to a red LED and emits light onto a flat target with the two outer fibres receiving the reflected light from the target and guiding it to two silicon PIN photodiodes. Theoretical investigations on the behaviour of the sensor are presented for ranges between 0 mm and 100 mm, and for targets with different reflectivities. …”

Rethinking learning outcomes : review of Trevor Hussey & Patrick Smith (2003) ‘The Uses of Learning Outcomes’, Teaching in Higher Education, Vol. 8. No 3, pp. 357-368 by Carter, Carol

“…Picking up the baton from their earlier article The Trouble With Learning Outcomes, in which they detailed a persuasively cautionary account of the dangers inherent in using learning outcomes as tools of audit rather than of education, Hussey and Smith (2002) return on a mission: ‘to develop an account of learning outcomes… that is more realistic and conducive to educational purposes’ (p. 232). …”

Pro-social attitudes towards ethno-religious out-groups during the COVID-19 pandemic: a survey experiment in five countries by Carol, Sarah, David, Lea, Malasevic, Sinisa, Uzelac, Gordana

“…This article examines pro-social attitudes among 7000 residents in England, Ireland, Germany, Serbia, and Sweden by showing a fictitious scenario of an older neighbour who needs his groceries to be picked up from a nearby supermarket. The online survey experiment follows a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial design varying the ethno-religious origin of neighbours signalled by the name (Alexander vs Mohammed), the length of their residence (<1 year, 10 years, entire life), and if groceries, or groceries and beer need to be collected. …”
