Synchronous colorectal cancers (syCRCs) are two or more primary tumours identified simultaneously in a patient. Previous studies report high inter-tumour heterogeneity between syCRCs, suggesting independent origin and ...

When breast cancer progresses to a metastatic stage, survival rates decline rapidly and it is considered incurable. Thus, deciphering the critical mechanisms of metastasis is of vital importance to develop new treatment ...

A four-lump computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was proposed for the investigation of vacuum gas oil hydrocracking in a trickle-bed reactor. The experiment was conducted at 360−390 °C and 146 bar in the reactor at ...

An optical fiber sensor for monitoring low dose radiation is presented. The sensor, based on radiation sensitive scintillation material, terbium doped gadolinium oxysulphide (Gd2O2S:Tb), is embedded in a cavity of 700μm ...

The high energy footprint of commodity gas purification and ever-increasing demand for gases require new approaches to gas separation. Kinetic separation of gas mixtures through molecular sieving can enable “ideal” separation ...

This paper takes a fundamental view of the electron energy loss spectra of monolayer and few layer MoS2. The dielectric function of monolayer MoS2 is compared to the experimental spectra to give clear criteria for the ...

Many studies have espoused the pedagogical benefits of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) across multiple disciplines. With the increasing use of PBL within higher education there exists a need to consider its position not just ...

Nanoparticles (NPs) of three poorly water-soluble BCS class II active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) (clozapine (CLO), curcumin (CUR) and carbamazepine (CBMZ) with zeta potentials –28.5 ± 2.5, –33 ± 1.5 and –13 ± 1.5 mV ...

We develop flexible multiparameter regression (MPR) survival models for interval‐censored survival data arising in longitudinal prospective studies and longitudinal randomised controlled clinical trials. A multiparameter ...

BACKGROUND: Recently, a new process concept has been proposed to selectively adsorb wort offflavours, i.e. aldehydes, from alcohol-free beers with hydrophobic zeolites. RESULTS: In this work, we investigated the uptake of ...
