Targeting cost-effective and efficient infusion control with real-time sensing and modelling Open
Commercial trends show continuous increases in the production rates and scale of wind turbine blades to meet the rising demand for cost-effective renewable energy. Manufacturing defects undermine such efforts by reducing turbine performanc…

CCQM-P123 number and geometric property of cells adhered to a solid substrate Open
Main text Several scientific fields, such as cytology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics have cells as their direct topic of study. The cell is a fundamental unit of highly technological systems, employed, for example, in the de…

Art and Poetry in an NHS Hospital’s Elevator Bank Open
Our Storeys is a "social wallpaper" installation combining poetry and visual art on 4 walls covering a 4-story elevator lobby in a hospital entrance. This article considers how the artists sought to create a work that connected with…

Molecular composition of short-period comets from millimetre-wave spectroscopy: 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, 38P/Stephan-Oterma, 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák, and 64P/Swift-Gehrels Open
We present the results of millimetre-wave spectroscopic observations and spectral surveys of the following short-period comets: 21P/Giacobini-Zinner in September 2018, 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák in April 2017, and 64P/Swift-Gehrels and 38…

Chapter Five. Foreign Currencies: John Collop And The "Ugly Beauty" Tradition Open
Cherbury both celebrate women suffering from the "green-sickness."1Their less well known contemporary John Collop renders the cur rency of love poetry as unstable as the literal currency of Henrican England by repeatedly lauding women with…

280 one-opposition near-Earth asteroids recovered by the EURONEAR with the <i>Isaac Newton </i>Telescope Open
Context. One-opposition near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are growing in number, and they must be recovered to prevent loss and mismatch risk, and to improve their orbits, as they are likely to be too faint for detection in shallow surveys at fu…

The Andromeda Study: A Femto-Spacecraft Mission to Alpha Centauri Open
This paper discusses the physics, engineering and mission architecture relating to a gram-sized interstellar probe propelled by a laser beam. The objectives are to design a fly-by mission to Alpha Centauri with a total mission duration of …
