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. …”

‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…The functionalized alkyl and aryl diazirine polyester films when tested for shear adhesion to ex-vivo swine aorta tissues, showed 450±50 mN/cm2 and 476±50 mN/cm2 adhesion strength when activated for 10 min and 2 min respectively using 0.5±0.1 mW/cm2 UV light of 365 nm. …”

Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…As the leaf naturally detaches and dries, the leaf lamina shrinks more than the stiff midrib, resulting in in-plane strain mismatch between the mesophyll tissues and the midrib. For thin-sheet materials like plant leaves, uniform uniaxial stretching of the sheet leads to wrinkling, a phenomenon that has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. …”
