A new proof of the Alexander-Hirschowitz interpolation theorem by Elisa Postinghel

“…What is known so far is essentially concentrated in the Alexander-Hirschowitz Theorem which says that a general collection of double points in P r gives independent conditions on the linear system L of the hypersurfaces of degree d, with a well known list of exceptions. We present a new proof of this theorem which consists in performing degenerations of P r and analyzing how L degenerates. © 2010 Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata and Springer-Verlag.…”

Construction of photosensitised semiconductor cathodes by Mohd Mat-Teridi

“…For the case of bare CuI, the PEC performance of electrode prepared by the AAD and PED compared against that of continuous-electrodeposition (ED) electrodes. The photocurrent density achieved for the electrodes prepared by AAD and PED was reported around 175 and 75 µAcm-2 respectively which are way higher than the ED case. …”

An evaluation of the biomechanical risks for a range of methods to raise a patient from supine lying to sitting in a hospital bed by Michael Fray, Sue Hignett

“…Best practice guidelines suggest that this activity should be replaced with mechanical devices e.g. profiling bed or hoist/lifter technology (e.g. Smith ed 2011). Practitioner evidence from many locations indicate that many people are being assisted from supine lying to sitting using manual techniques and healthcare workers are being placed at risk. …”

Microstructural evolution in boron-containing high-chromium steels for power plant applications by Anna Sammarco

“…The lower BN content in the P sample, as well as the absence of any cavities, instead, could result in an increased concentration of soluble boron available to stabilize the M23C6 particles from coarsening during creep, as well as more nitrogen, which allowed a more stable MX distribution, resulting in the observed increased creep life. …”
