Expressions of grief on the early modern stage by Welch, K

“…Tracking fake funerals over this time period revealed a sharp increase in this device after 1603, which the final chapter suggests is related to anxieties over public performances of mourning after Elizabeth I's death and one of the worst plague years on record.</p> <p>Performances of theatrical mourning thus occur displaced in time, preemptive requests for a death not to happen rather than the belated wish to bring the dead back to life. …”

Associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with next-day cognitive performance in older adults: a micro-longitudinal study by Bloomberg, M, Brocklebank, L, Doherty, A, Hamer, M, Steptoe, A

“…Methods: British adults aged 50-83 years (N = 76) without evidence of cognitive impairment or dementia wore accelerometers for eight days, and took daily cognitive tests of attention, memory, psychomotor speed, executive function, and processing speed. …”

Determining the feasibility of a full-scale randomised controlled trial evaluating rehabilitation for people after acute patellar dislocation by Forde, C

“…Fifty participants aged ≥14 years with an acute first-time or recurrent patellar dislocation were recruited and randomised 1: 1 to the interventions. …”

Mesh quality improvement by re-triangulation surface meshes on 3-dimensional CAD model of a human wrist joint by Leong, Mun Teik

“…With the recent advances computing technologies nowadays, reverse engineering is rapidly developing and has been strongly established many years in biomedical industry. Three dimensional geometric modeling is now being extensively used in many applications such as surgical planning, rapid prototyping, medical implants design, numerical simulation and etc. …”

Antibiotic sensitivity of selected bacteria and microbiological quality of Lactobacillus-fed broiler meat in comparison with commercial broiler meat by Tan, Stephanie Yin Yi

“…The use of probiotics to replace antibiotics in poultry feed had been introduced in recent years. It is believed that probiotics may give the same overall health effect to livestock, without the undesirable development of antibiotic resistance to vital antibiotics. …”

Grid integration and coordinated control of voltage source inverters with energy storage systems by Qi, Yang

“…Due to the proliferation of nonlinear loads, considerable harmonic currents are injected into the microgrid, leading to severe power quality issues. In view of this challenge, it is expected that DESSs can cooperatively share the harmonic currents and contribute to the total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction of the point of common coupling (PCC) voltage. …”

Map matching algorithms for intelligent transportation system by Hou, Xiangting

“…To determine the position of the target vehicle, most of the existing works need a large search space. This inevitably leads to large computational overheads. In addition, the measurement errors of state information can be large due to the external conditions. …”

Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…Owing to their low- cost nature and susceptibility to damage, tampering or battery exhaustion, some devices may become faulty leading to unexpected behavior. IoT networks need to remain functional and resilient even with the presence of such faulty devices. …”

Studies on plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaN-based multilayer heterostructures on Si for photodetector application by Zheng, Yi

“…However, growth of such photodetectors on Si (111) substrate is challenging due to large difference in thermal and lattice mismatch between Si substrate and GaN, which leads to built-in strain and cracking. In this work, plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) is used to grow dual band photodetector heterostructures on Si substrate as well as MOCVD grown AlN/Si templates. …”

From Sample to Answer: Innovations in sample processing and CRISPR-based diagnostics for enhanced clinical translation and field deployment by Arizti Sanz, Jon

“…However, the global diagnostic testing capacity is currently insufficient to effectively respond to emerging infectious disease threats, which has fueled the spread of Lassa, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2, and Zika virus in recent years. Globally, this diagnostic gap is particularly pronounced at the primary care or community level, an essential site for swift and effective response. …”
