To give informed consent, a patient needs to sufficiently understand the information provided by a physician to decide among treatment options. Although shared decision-making is becoming an important aspect of patient-centered care, little is known about decision-makin...

A rigorous derivation of the F-tensor coefficient Fij-relating the strain to the electric field gradient (EFG) — is given for polyvalent FCC and BCC hosts. It is shown that Faulkner’s results are valid only for a monovalent FCC host. Results for Fij are also obtained wh...

Abstract Large-eddy simulations with size-resolved microphysics are used to model persistent aircraft contrails and contrail-induced cirrus from a few wing spans behind the aircraft until their demise after many hours. Schemes for dynamic local ice binning and updating ...

Abstract Tin oxide (SnO2) films were deposited by d.c. magnetron reactive sputtering and subsequently annealed at 500–900 °C. The effects of the deposition parameters and annealing conditions on the phases, electrical resistivity and gas sensitivity of the SnO2 films we...

Biomass gasification is a technology that has attracted great interest in synthesis of biofuels and oxo alcohols. However, this gas contains several contaminants, including tar, which need to be removed. Removal of tar is particularly critical because it can lead to ope...

Outpatient clinics have been severely restricted during COVID-19; the specialties face a tremendous challenge in service provision going forward. Attendance has been low in many centres despite implementation of COVID-19-related safety precautions.1 This study aimed to ...
