With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for electrical energy storage is also increasing. However, the lack of high-efficiency, economical and reliable energy storage technologies makes it difficult for current electrochemical systems to utilize renewable energy and enable the circular economy fully. As an efficient and green energy storage device, the supercapacitor has […]

Many animations and videos have high frame rates — meaning many still frames are shown to the viewer per second — in order to give the viewer motion information needed to parse the video. For example, expressive dancing sequences are usually shown in high frame rates because they contain large motions, and often a human […]

Whilst, perceptions of effort have received increasing attention, the perception of pain has received much less attention despite its inherent role during voluntary activities such as exercise. Pain is defined as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage”. As such, pain is a regular […]

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating disease that has a 5-year survival rate of only 44%, making it the fifth most lethal cancer in women. A major reason for this low survival rate is the high rate of metastasis, where cells detach from the primary tumour site on the ovary and reattach at secondary […]

The serine/threonine kinase AKT1 is a key mediator of cell growth and survival processes including glucose metabolism, apoptosis, transcription, proliferation, and migration. AKT1 is activated by phosphorylation at two key regulatory sites, Threonine308 and Serine473, that are both used as clinical diagnostic markers for cancer. AKT1 also plays an important role in glucose metabolism by […]

Envisagées dans une perspective historique, certaines séries télé sur l’art plébiscité par leurs publics de masse aux États-Unis, en France et en Grande-Bretagne et dont le rayonnement s’est poursuivi au-delà de leur diffusion d’origine, ont participé à la construction et la diffusion de discours d’histoire de l’art auprès du plus grand nombre. Cette étude s’attarde […]

In response to the present Covid-19 pandemic and the need to decarbonize the transport sector, city leaders and communities are rethinking past assumptions regarding transport planning and infrastructural development and have renewed interest in promoting cycling as a sustainable transport mode. Infrastructural interventions that improve safety and comfort and widen access to cycling are necessary […]

Primary Objective: In this pilot project, in the short term, we propose to explore the risks associated with noise overexposure in music practice, to test innovative prevention strategies and to develop an auditory assessment protocol that responds to the specific or expressed needs of musicians and to test its feasibility (e.g. duration, number of sessions, […]

The Salvation Army currently works in 132 countries, promoting international development, disaster relief, health care, education, anti-trafficking/anti-slavery work, and women’s ministries throughout the world. How did a small British outreach develop into a world-wide humanitarian organization? My proposed research will examine The Salvation Army’s global expansion from 1880-1918 by studying the Booth family. Much research […]
