Three different approaches to plasticity are investigated to model the experimentally-observed non-linear behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced polymeric matrix materials. The first and simplest approach consists on assuming independent one-dimensional rate-depen...

Abradable coatings are utilised as sacrificial materials in low-pressure compressor casings, and in intermediate and high pressure compressors and seals. The adoption of abradable coatings allows for the clearance between compressor blades and casing to be minimised, in...

Quantifying and predicting morphological productivity is a long-standing challenge in corpus linguistics and psycholinguistics. The same challenge reappears in natural language processing in the context of handling words that were not seen in the training set (out-of-vo...

How are the social relations of collaboration enacted? In this paper, we address this question by analysing a meeting of researchers at the University of Oxford and the Picker Institute, teams of frontline staff from six National Health Service (NHS) trusts, and a ‘lay ...

BACKGROUND: Some controversy exists regarding the safety of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (IAHA) in the management of osteoarthritis (OA). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to re-assess the safety profile of IAHA in patients with OA, through a comprehensive m...

During the past two decades, experiments in both the northern and southern hemispheres have observed a small but measurable energy-dependent sidereal anisotropy in the arrival direction distribution of Galactic cosmic rays with relative intensities at the level of one p...
