The Foyers Granitic Complex and its aureole by Hood, Philip Thomas.

“…Contact relationships between envelope and complex imply sloping was the major intrusion mechanism, with siliceous lithologies more readily sloped than others. Low density contrasts between granitoid and envelope necessitate sloping occured whilst the pluton was very fluid, extra bouyancy perhaps derived from connection with a magma source at depth. …”

Ultrasound propagation in colloidal dispersions by Sherman, Nigel E.

“…Attenuation as a function of barite concentration in Newtonian liquids was investigated and the ultrasonic particle radius was found to be systematically larger than expected. This is attributed to particle rugosity. …”

Snow, Wilson and the Scientific Revolution by Sheldrake, John

“…There is no more dangerous illusion than the comfortable doctrine that the world owes us a living…that whatever we do, whenever we run into trouble, we can always rely on a special relationship with someone or other to bail us out. …”

The shipwrecked shore and other metaphors : what we can learn from occupation of, and representations in, virtual worlds by Burns, Tom, Sinfield, Sandra, Holley, Debbie

“…With educational paradigms shifting to include 'online learning, hybrid learning and collaborative learning' (NMC2012:5); the NMC report points out that institutions that support their learners by offering affordances other than physical campuses leverage the online skills that learners bring with them to academia. …”

Monetary policy and banking sector : lessons from Turkey by Akinci, Dervis Ahmet, Matousek, Roman, Radić, Nemanja, Stewart, Chris

“…It is also evident that domestic banks are, unexpectedly, found to be more efficient, on average, than foreign banks. We discovered no evidence of significant dynamics or fixed-effects in the growth of loans and so prefer to use the pooled OLS estimator over the fixed-effects and Arellano and Bond estimators. …”

Usage and Consequences of Privacy Settings in Microblogs by Daehnhardt, Elena, Taylor, Nick K., Jing, Yanguo

“…Would microbloggers use Twitter more effectively when opening their content for everyone rather than protecting their profiles? Are user profile protection features necessary? …”

Sport as a vehicle for health promotion: a shared value example of corporate social responsibility by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Barry, Adam E.

“…The results show that the business-centric effects were stronger among a group of youth beneficiaries than they were among some health- and wellness-centric variables. …”

Remote banking fraud detection framework using sequence learners by Patel, Yogesh, Ouazzane, Karim, Vassilev, Vassil, Li, Jun

“…The results of the modelling demonstrate that given the labeled dataset both the LSTM and SVM model can detect payment fraud with acceptable accuracy, though overall the LSTM models perform slightly better than the SVM models. The results also prove the hypothesis that the events across banking channels can be modelled as time series data and then sequence-based learners such as Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) can be applied to improve or reduce the False Positive Rate (FPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR).…”

Fashioning the academic by Davenport, Emma

“…This may also be the product of an increasing pedagogic emphasis on the student at the centre of the learning process, rather than both the teacher and the student in a specific communicative interaction. …”

A novel downlink semi-persistent packet scheduling scheme for VoLTE traffic over heterogeneous wireless networks by Tabany, Myasar R., Guy, Chris G., Sherratt, R. Simon

“…The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme is able to reduce VoLTE end-to-end delay and achieve a better system capacity than current methods, and maintain the desired VoLTE QoS.…”

Fine motor skills and unsystematic spatial binding in the common region test (CRT): under-inclusivity in ASD and over-inclusivity in ADHD by Lange-Kuettner, Christiane, Kochhar, Ridhi

“…Results: Children with ASD and ADHD showed more unsystematic coding than TD children. This was due to lower fine motor skills, and in children with ADHD also because of reduced verbal naming. …”

The experience of the role of being a caregiver for carers who identify as ‘black’: an IPA study by Powell, Debra

“…Further it has been empirically noted that individuals from BME groups are less likely to access counselling services than White British people. This would suggest that this is an underrepresented area of research, particularly within the UK. …”

An innovative and simpleiImpedance matching network using stacks of metasurface sheets to suppress the mismatch between antennas and RF front-end transceivers circuits by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Althuwayb, Ayman Abdulhadi, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Each MTS impedance matching sheet comprises two-dimensional periodic array of subwavelength microstrip resonator unit-cells that are spaced at a wavelength that is smaller than the frequency of operation. The unit-cells are square shaped patches and embedded with cross-shaped slots that are grounded through a via-hole. …”

Co-production: fostering greater inclusion or reproducing existing exclusion? An analysis of co-commissioning and resident participation on a South London housing estate by Alexander, James

“…However, a lack of understanding of the power dynamics between those involved means the processes can be hierarchical and restricting, rather than increasing the participation of those whom such initiatives are meant to empower.…”

Qualitative network analysis for migration studies: beyond metaphors and epistemological pitfalls by Ryan, Louise, Dahinden, Janine

Constant domain-regulated antibody catalysis by Sapparapu, Gopal, Planque, Stephanie, Mitsuda, Yukie, McLean, Gary R., Nishiyama, Yasuhiro, Paul, Sudhir

“…The catalytic activity of polyclonal IgM was superior to polyclonal IgG from the same sera, indicating that on average IgMs express the catalytic function at levels greater than IgGs. The findings indicate a favorable effect of the remote IgM constant domain scaffold on the integrity of the V-domain catalytic site and provide a structural basis for conceiving antibody catalysis as a first line immune function expressed at high levels prior to development of mature IgG class antibodies.…”

An evaluation of the experiences of the hidden curriculum of Black and minority ethnic undergraduate health and social care students at a London university by Webb, Justin, Arthur, Ryan, McFairlane-Edmond, Pansy, Burns, Tom, Warren, Digby

“…Black and minority ethnic (BME) students are less likely to achieve a first or upper-class second degree than White students. This evaluation investigated the experiences of BME Health and Social Care students at a London university of the hidden curriculum, thematically analysed through a critical race lens. …”
