Sustainable Conservation of a Difficult Heritage in South Korea
South Korea’s Sorok-do island bears witness to the 100-year history of the Sorok-do hospital and the village for Hansen’s disease (leprosy) patients. All the facilities of Sorok-do were established by the Japanese...
Dynamic and monotonic response of Monopile Foundations for Offshore wind turbines using centrifuge testing
AbstractThe seismic response of monopile foundations is a growing area of research as the offshore wind industry expands worldwide, including in earthquake prone regions of the world. This paper...
High Aspect Ratio-Nanostructured Surfaces as Biological Metamaterials

Materials patterned with high-aspect-ratio nanostructures have features on similar length scales to cellular components. These surfaces are an extreme topography on the cellular level and have become useful tools for...

Establishing GPCR Targets of hMAO Active Anthraquinones from Cassia obtusifolia Linn Seeds Using In Silico and In Vitro Methods.
The present study examines the effect of human monoamine oxidase active anthraquinones emodin, alaternin (=7-hydroxyemodin), aloe-emodin, and questin from Cassia obtusifolia Linn seeds in modulating human dopamine (hD1R, hD3R...
Avoiding artefacts in MicroCT imaging of Collagen Scaffolds
X-ray micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) can be used to provide both qualitative and quantitative information on the structure of three-dimensional (3D) bioactive scaffolds. When performed in a dry state, µ-CT accurately reflects...
Controversial Issues in Arthroscopic Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of painful hip in the young and middle-aged population. This condition frequently leads to a labral tear, damage of acetabular cartilage, and secondary arthritis of the hip....
Group Size and Matching Protocol in Contests
We investigate the effects of group size and matching protocol in Tullock contest experiments. In a 2x2 factorial design we implement partner and random stranger matching protocols in contests between two and between three...
Zola’s “champ limité de la réalisation”
Nicholas White
Dec 07, 2020
Émile Zola explains the inclusion of the Paris Commune of 1871 in his novel, La Débâcle (1892) in terms of his Naturalist epistemophilia: “Je veux tout mettre, je suis toujours désespéré du champ limité de la réalisation.” But...
Group Size and Matching Protocol in Contests
We investigate the effects of group size and matching protocol in Tullock contest experiments. In a 2x2 factorial design we implement partner and random stranger matching protocols in contests between two and between three...
Culture-specific links between maternal executive function, parenting, and preschool children's executive function in South Korea.
BACKGROUND: Research on the relationships between parental factors and children's executive function (EF) has been conducted mainly in Western cultures. AIM: This study provides the first empirical test, in a non-Western...
High Aspect Ratio-Nanostructured Surfaces as Biological Metamaterials

Non-Isothermal Crystallisation Kinetics of Carbon Black- Graphene-Based Multimodal-Polyethylene Nanocomposites.
The effect of carbon black (CB) and microwave-induced plasma graphene (g) on the crystallisation kinetics of the multimodal high-density polyethylene was studied under non-isothermal conditions. The non-isothermal...
Investor Diligence in Investment Arbitration
JE Vinuales
Mar 07, 2017
Most contemporary observers of international investment law will likely share with the author of these lines the impression that the criticism expressed by many commentators over the last decade with respect to the operation of...

JE KIRBY
Sep 05, 2018
The jurist A. V. Dicey’s study of the Law of the Constitution (1885) has been since its publication the dominant analysis of the British constitution and the source of orthodoxy on such subjects as parliamentary sovereignty and...
Do Materialistic Consumers Buy More During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
This study investigates the mediated moderating relationship of self-concept clarity, materialism, and social consumption motivation in the context of Covid-19 pandemic based on the terror management theory. The findings suggest...
Ligatures of the Early Modern Book
JE Scott-Warren
Apr 04, 2017
This article proposes that the early modern book was constituted of numerous forms of stringing, tying and binding. Exploring ligatures at the level of the printed or handwritten letter-form, the stitching, the binding and the...
Relations between the Sizes of Galaxies and Their Dark Matter Halos at Redshifts 0 <z <3

We derive relations between the effective radii R eff of galaxies and the virial radii R 200c of their dark matter halos over the redshift range 0 <z <3. For galaxies, we use the measured sizes...

An Ecclesiastical Descent
JE KIRBY
Nov 29, 2018
This article explores the relationship between religion and historiography in the work of the historian and bishop William Stubbs (1825–1901). Previous studies of Stubbs have neglected the High-Church influences which...
The Paris Agreement on Climate Change
