Forecasting self employment in the UK by George Saridakis, Grammatoula Papaioannou

“…Comparing the multivariate forecasts with the univariate forecasts, we observe that both point to an increase in UK enterprise activity in the future, with the increase being sharper in the former.…”

Resistively heated columns for liquid chromatography by Fiona Harvey-Doyle

“…The main objective was to drive temperature programming to a new extreme by rapid column heating akin to GC rather than LC, the emphasis being to produce much sharper peaks very rapidly. …”

Comparison of selective laser melted commercially pure titanium sheet-based triply periodic minimal surfaces and trabecular-like strut-based scaffolds for tissue engineering by Carmen Torres, James Borgman, Ben Sargeant, Hugo Bell, Enrique Alabort, Craig Lindsay, Paul Conway

“…Although the trabecular-like structures exhibit an enhanced compressive behaviour when the designed topology was smoothed, they are more prone to printing imperfections with the sharper 2 finishes. The in vitro studies reveal that the trabecular-sharp topology displays a faster proliferation rate, explained by concavity-driven cellular growth, but its smooth counterpart promotes a larger differentiation extent, outperforming TPMS, as it is aided by larger pore throats lined with a micro-porosity at the scale of osteoblastic geometric features.…”

Numerical heat transfer modelling of staggered array impinging jets by Ahad Ramezanpour, Iraj Mirzaee, Ramin Rahmani, Hassan Shirvani

“…The dimensionless tubes to impinging surface distance (H/D) were in the range of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 and the Reynolds number based on the tubes' hydraulic diameter and average fluid velocity at the exit of tubes in the range of 1000, 5000, and 20000 were studied. …”

Electrochemical reactivity of TiO2 nanoparticles adsorbed onto boron-doped diamond by Frank Marken, Avninder S. Bhambra, Duk-Hyun Kim, Roger J. Mortimer, Susan J. Stott

“…Voltammetric experiments in aqueous 0.1 M NaClO4 with variable amounts of HClO4 suggest that the reduction of TiO2 particles is consistent with the formation of Ti(III) surface sites and accompanied by the adsorption of protons. …”

At home in Amman? Scales of diasporic belonging amongst Palestinian-Jordanian Christians by Annabel C. Evans

“…The second key contribution is analytical by exploring religion and diaspora across and through multiple scales of home. In doing so, home is simultaneously stretched across and contracted within numerous registers of place to explore its expansive and concentrated use of space and time. …”
