Contradictory populism online: Nationalist and globalist discourses of the...
Populist or radical far right parties have been an integral part of politics in postsocialist Eastern European countries such as Serbia. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the ideologies and...
View ArticleStability analysis of a single-bit infinite impulse response sigma-delta...
Although sigma-delta modulators have been applied as re-modulator blocks in single-bit filter systems, their inherently non-linear behaviour leads to stability concerns. When applied in simple systems...
View ArticleA method to evaluate the formability of high-strength steel in hot stamping
Hot stamping is an innovative operation in metal-forming processes that almost completely prevents the cracking and wrinkling of high-strength steel (HSS) sheets. The examination of HSS defects using...
View ArticleLong-term operation of biological activated carbon pre-treatment for...
The impact of long-term (>2 years) biological activated carbon (BAC) treatment for mitigating organic fouling in the microfiltration of biologically treated secondary effluent was investigated....
View ArticleStick-jump mode in surface droplet dissolution
The analogy between evaporating surface droplets in air to dissolving long-chain alcohol droplets in water is worked out. We show that next to the three known modi for surface droplet evaporation or...
View ArticleWound healing potential of green synthesized silver nanoparticles prepared...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are proved to be potential wound healing materials for normal and burn related wounds due to their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Although, the wound healing...
View ArticleGhrelin's role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in response to stress
Ghrelin is a stomach hormone normally associated with feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. Recent studies highlight that ghrelin targets the brain to regulate a diverse number of functions,...
View ArticleThe use of laboratory scale reactors to predict sensitivity to changes in...
Anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge is highly complex and prone to inhibition, which can cause major issues for digester operators. The result is that there have been numerous investigations into...
View ArticleHighly Efficient CeO2-MoO3/SiO2 catalyst for solvent-free oxidative coupling...
The development of noble-metal-free catalysts is currently a topic of paramount research investigation in the chemical industry. In this work, a promising CeO2-MoO3/SiO2 catalyst was synthesized for...
View ArticleLaser threshold magnetometry
We propose a new type of sensor, which uses diamond containing the optically active nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) centres as a laser medium. The magnetometer can be operated at room-temperature and generates...
View ArticleSensitivity analysis of piecewise linear vibration isolator with dual rate...
In this paper the exact frequency response of symmetric piecewise linear vibration isolator will be reviewed. The frequency response In this paper the exact frequency response of symmetric piecewise...
View ArticleNonparametric discovery of movement patterns from accelerometer signals
Monitoring daily physical activity plays an important role in disease prevention and intervention. This paper proposes an approach to monitor the body movement intensity levels from accelerometer data....
View ArticleCharacterizing the inhibitory action of zinc oxide nanoparticles on...
The development of nanoparticles (NPs) for commercial products is undergoing a dramatic expansion.Many sunscreens and cosmetics now use zinc oxide (ZnO) or titania (TiO2) NPs, which are...
View ArticleExploring influences impacting on Taiwanese women’s decision to have...
BackgroundTaiwan currently has one of lowest birth rates in the world and is predicted to lead to ‘zero or negative population growth’ in the foreseeable future. Despite many incentives and policies...
View ArticleObservations of Australian Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN)
Exploratory climate modeling suggests that aerosol effects are of comparable importance as greenhouse gases, as a driver of recent climate trends in the southern hemisphere, including Australia...
View ArticleInvestigating the role of Knowledge Management and Human Resources Management...
This research investigated the relationship and the links between Knowledge Management (KM) and Human Resources management (HRM). It also investigated the role of using KM and HRM in assisting the...
View ArticleOptimisation of directional energy transfer in running shoes.
Existing sports footwear has little consideration of performance from an engineering perspective. Many sports shoes are designed for fashion over function. Existing developments in sports shoe...
View ArticlePainting place: picturing experience and feeling in the urban landscape.
Identifying with the field of representational painting, this project investigates the embedded complexities in urban landscape that can be experienced and communicated to provide a greater...
View ArticleObservation of optical activity in dielectric biomimetic 8-srs networks
We demonstrate the first experimental realization of the 8-srs network by direct laser writing in a dielectric medium. The optical properties of this photonic crystal are both numerically simulated and...
