Counterspace Support for BIPOC Employees Within a Holistic JEDI Library Framework
This chapter presents a case study of how an academic library supports Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) employees with funding so these workers can find counterspaces (spaces where they can feel safe in community...
Levelling Up Language Learning
This study examines the use of gamification as an innovative assessment approach to foreign language learning with 12–14-year-old students. A mixed methodology has been applied. Quantitative data have been collected from...

Mechanical response of shape memory alloy-based hybrid composite subjected to low-velocity impacts
Fulvio Pinto, Michele Meo
Sep 01, 2015

One of the most common problems with composite materials is their low resistance to impacts with foreign objects because of their tendency to dissipate impact energy through internal delamination, weakening a large area of...

Imprints from idea origin on innovation and the development environment
This study builds on the evolutionary and organization literatures to explore how the nature of innovation outcomes was influenced by the innovation’s original idea and the environment in which it was developed. We use data from...
What Influences the Prevalence and Intensity of Haemoparasites and Ectoparasites in an Insular Lizard?
Island biogeography theories predict that characteristics such as island size, age, and isolation interplay in host-parasite dynamics. In this study, we analyzed haemogregarines of the Aegean wall lizard, Podarcis...

Isabel P. Alves, Nuno Reis
Jan 25, 2019
This study presents novel experimental insights into the direct quantitation and immunocapture of bacteria cells in a fluoropolymer microcapillary array, using Escherichia coli as work model, a pathogen responsible for around...
Damage tolerance of bio-inspired helicoidal composites under low velocity impact

It is well known that laminated composite materials are prone to impact damage caused by foreign objects and exhibit poor damage resistance in through the thickness direction. By drawing inspiration from naturally occurring...

Preparation and thermomechanical characterisation of graphene nanoplatelets/low-density polyethylene composites

The thermomechanical properties of Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs)/low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were investigated and characterised to understand the effect of nanoscaled reinforcement in the thermoplastic matrix....
