Review of the Book "Understanding Liberal Democracy: Essays in Political Philosophy"
Kelly Sorensen
Jan 01, 0001
[Excerpt] Nicholas Wolterstorff argues that public reason liberalism is a dead end, and defends instead what he takes to be a more defensible form of liberalism ("equal political voice liberalism"). His book is fresh and...

Mass and Heat Exchange in Rotating Compressor Cavities With Variable Cob Separation
Next generation aeroengines will operate at ever-increasing pressure ratios with smaller cores, where the control of blade-tip clearances across the flight cycle is an emerging design challenge. Such clearances are affected by...
Social Identity Theory in Sports Fandom Research
Nicholas Hirshon
May 08, 2020
Sports fans are known to engage in BIRGing, or basking in reflected glory after their team wins, and CORFing, cutting off reflected failure following a team loss. These phenomena are related to social identity theory, which...

A Model of Mass and Heat Transfer for Disc Temperature Prediction in Open Compressor Cavities
Accurate prediction of heat transfer in compressor cavities is crucial to the design of efficient and reliable aircraft engines. The heat transfer affects the thermal expansion of the compressor rotor and, in turn, the tip...
Early life programming in mice by maternal overnutrition
Animal models have been indispensable in elucidating the potential causative mechanisms underlying the effects of maternal diet on offspring health. Of these, the mouse has been widely used to model maternal overnutrition and/or...
Haploinsufficiency of NKX2-1 in Brain-Lung-Thyroid Syndrome with Additional Multiple Pituitary Dysfunction.
INTRODUCTION: Heterozygous mutations or haploinsufficiency of NKX2-1 are associated with the brain-lung-thyroid syndrome incorporating primary hypothyroidism, respiratory distress, and neurological disturbances. CASE...
The Clinical and Public Health Challenges of Diabetes Prevention
In an Editorial accompanying PLOS Medicine's Special Issue on Diabetes Prevention, Guest Editors Nicholas Wareham and William Herman discuss some of the challenges for researchers and policy makers in developing effective and...
Genetics of Gland- in-situ or Hypoplastic Congenital Hypothyroidism in Macedonia
Nikolina Zdraveska, Mirjana Kocova, Adeline K. Nicholas, Violeta Anastasovska, Nadia Schoenmakers
Jul 28, 2020
Neonatal screening in Macedonia detects congenital hypothyroidism (CH) with an incidence of 1 in 1,585, and more than 50% of cases exhibit a normally located gland-in-situ (GIS). Monogenic mutations causing dyshormonogenesis may...
Grip strength from midlife as an indicator of later-life brain health and cognition
Quentin Dercon, Jennifer M. Nicholas, Sarah-Naomi James, Jonathan M. Schott, Marcus Richards
Sep 28, 2021
Abstract: Background: Grip strength is an indicator of physical function with potential predictive value for health in ageing populations. We assessed whether trends in grip strength from midlife predicted later-life brain...
Experimental Investigation of Transient Flow Phenomena in Rotating Compressor Cavities
Mikolaj Pernak, Tom Nicholas, Jake Williams, Richard Jackson, Hui Tang, Gary Lock, James Scobie
Dec 31, 2023
The clearance of compressor blade tips during aero-engine accelerations is an important design issue for next-generation engine architectures. The transient clearance depends on the radial expansion of the compressor discs...
Relationship Between Physical Fitness Variables and Reaction Time in eSports Gamers
eSports gaming requires quick and accurate reactions in response to complex visual stimuli for optimal performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between components of physical fitness and reaction...
