Examining Alterity Dynamics Through the Conceptualisation and (Re)Construction of Social and Political Enemy in Post-Independent Francophone African Literature
(2024)The exploration of alterity in francophone African literature offers a rich and multifaceted understanding of identity dynamics and cultural hybridity. By examining the impact of post-independence socio-political landscape, ... -
Myeloid cell-derived proteases produce a proinflammatory form of IL-37 that signals via IL-36 receptor engagement
(2022)Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokines are key barrier cytokines that are typically expressed as inactive, or partially active, precursors that require proteolysis within their amino termini for activation. IL-37 is an ... -
"This is a Political Play": Making Coriolanus Relevant in Contemporary Iran
(2024)This article traces the performance history of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus in Iran, focusing on the most recent production of the play directed by Mostafa Koushki (b. 1984), performed between 2019 and 2020 in Tehran, Iran, ... -
How inferior vena cava collapsibility index from a novel implantable sensor correlates with estimated plasma volume and NT-proBNP: a study in patients with chronic heart failure
(2023)Background: A new wireless implantable sensor can measure inferior vena cava (IVC) area and collapsibility index and was invented for remote monitoring in heart failure. Study objective: To evaluate the relationship ... -
ACCURACY OF A LOW-COST NOVEL COMPUTER-VISION DYNAMIC MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT: POTENTIAL LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
(2016)The aim of the study was to perform a preliminary validation of a low cost markerless motion capture system (CAPTURE) against an industry gold standard (Vicon). Measurements of knee valgus and flexion during the performance ... -
Local Multi-Channel RF Surface Coil versus Body RF Coil Transmission for Cardiac Magnetic Resonance at 3 Tesla: Which Configuration Is Winning the Game?
(2016)Introduction: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of cardiac MR at 3 Tesla using local four-channel RF coil transmission and benchmark it against large volume body RF coil ... -
Low-Complexity Equalization and Detection for OTFS-NOMA
(2023)Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modula- tion has recently emerged as a potential 6G candidate waveform which provides improved performance in high-mobility scenarios. In this paper we investigate the combination ... -
Low-Complexity Reliability-Based Equalization and Detection for OTFS-NOMA
(2023)Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modula- tion has recently emerged as a potential 6G candidate waveform which provides improved performance in high-mobility scenarios. In this paper we investigate the combination ... -
Joint Channel Estimation and Equalization in Massive MIMO Using a Single Pilot Subcarrier
(2023)The focus of this letter is on the reduction of the large pilot overhead in orthogonal frequency division multi-plexing (OFDM) based massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We propose a novel joint channel ... -
Time and Frequency Synchronization for OTFS
(2022)In this letter, we propose timing offset (TO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimators for orthogonal time frequency space modulation (OTFS). The proposed estimators do not require any additional training overheads ... -
Book Review: Environmental Justice as Social Work Practice.
(2024)Environmental Justice as Social Work Practice is written to be a main textbook in a specialised course on social work and the environment. First published in 2018, the importance of a text- book covering environmental ... -
Whole-body sodium-mri at 3 T using an asymmetric birdcage resonator and short echo time sequence: first images of a male volunteer
(2012)Sodium magnetic resonance imaging (²³Na MRI) is a non-invasive technique which allows spatial resolution of the tissue sodium concentration (TSC) in the human body. TSC measurements could potentially serve to monitor early ... -
Bilateral 23Na MR imaging of the breast and quantification of sodium concentration
(2014)A novel setup for 23 Na MRI, which allows bilateral imaging of the breast, is presented. For this purpose a figure- eight receive-only 23 Na surface coil was developed. For our experiments on three samples with NaCl ... -
The localization of focal heart activity via body surface potential measurements: tests in a heterogeneous torso phantom
(2009)The non-invasive localization of focal heart activity via body surface potential measurements (BSPM) could greatly benefit the understanding and treatment of arrhythmic heart diseases. However, the in vivo validation of ... -
The Role of Intermediaries in Connecting Community-Dwelling Adults to Local Physical Activity and Exercise: A Scoping Review
(2024)Introduction: Connecting inactive individuals to local physical activity (PA) and exercise, via intermediaries (professionals who can facilitate and support connections to non-medical services) may be an effective method ... -
Sodium-23 magnetic resonance imaging during and after transient cerebral ischemia: multinuclear stroke protocols for double-tuned (23)Na/(1)H resonator systems
(2012)A double-tuned 23Na/1H resonator system was developed to record multinuclear MR image data during and after transient cerebral ischemia. 1H-diffusion-, 1H perfusion, 1H T2-, 1H arterial blood flow- and 23Na spin density-weighted ... -
Downlink Transmission in FBMC-based Massive MIMO with Co-located and Distributed Antennas
(2024)This paper introduces a practical precoding method for the downlink of Filter Bank Multicarrier-based (FBMC-based) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The proposed method comprises a two-stage precoder, ...
