A carbuncle cure for the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme using a novel velocity-based sensor by Vevek, U. S., Zang, B., New, Tze How

“…A hybrid numerical flux scheme is proposed by adapting the carbuncle-free modified Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLCM) scheme to smoothly revert to the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme in regions of shear. This hybrid scheme, referred to as the HLLCT scheme, employs a novel, velocity-based shear sensor. …”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…Research has shown that pupils who have been permanently excluded are at a greater risk of negative life outcomes when compared with their non-excluded peers. However, the idea that disadvantaged groups are disproportionately represented amongst those excluded has not previously been tested in prior work. …”
