Performant implementation of the atomic cluster expansion (PACE) and application to copper and silicon
Abstract: The atomic cluster expansion is a general polynomial expansion of the atomic energy in multi-atom basis functions. Here we implement the atomic cluster expansion in the performant C++ code PACE that is suitable for use...

Increasing calls for reform to welfare provision have seen growing support for basic income (BI) - the unconditional provision of cash transfers to all. As a result, recent years have seen an exponential increase in the number...
Critical care management of traumatic brain injury.
DK Menon, A Ercole
Jun 08, 2018
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a growing global problem, which is responsible for a substantial burden of disability and death, and which generates substantial healthcare costs. High-quality intensive care can save lives and...

ICU Structure and Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury.
We read with interest the paper from McCredie et al in Critical Care Medicine. The authors retrospectively analysed data from 9773 patients from 134 intensive care units (ICUs), obtained between 2011 and 2013, extracted from a...

Robustness and Independent Evidence
J Stegenga, T Menon
May 22, 2017
Robustness arguments hold that hypotheses are more likely to be true when they are confirmed by diverse kinds of evidence. Robustness arguments require the confirming evidence to be independent. We identify two kinds of...

Withdrawal of treatment after devastating brain injury
AR Manara, DK Menon
Jun 21, 2018
Every year in England, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is attempted on about 30,000 people suffering an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) [1]. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved in approximately 25%...

Moving to human trials for argon neuroprotection in neurological injury
AJ Gardner, DK Menon
Jun 05, 2018
Despite the global burden of brain injury, neuroprotective agents remain elusive. There are no clinically effective therapies which reduce mortality or improve long-term cognitive outcome. Ventilation could be an easily...

Intrinsic brain dynamics in the Default Mode Network predict involuntary fluctuations of visual awareness
AbstractBrain activity is intrinsically organised into spatiotemporal patterns, but it is still not clear whether these intrinsic patterns are functional or epiphenomenal. Using a simultaneous...

Reactivity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Soot Precursors
The thermodynamics and kinetics of cross-linking reactions between PAHs of various reactive edge types that are observed in soot precursors are explored using density functional theory. The forward rate constants confirm that...

The Inert Brain
"Neural inertia" is the brain's tendency to resist changes in its arousal state: it is manifested as emergence from anaesthesia occurring at lower drug doses than those required for anaesthetic induction, a phenomenon observed...

Contusion Progression Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract: Secondary injuries remain an important cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Progression of cerebral contusions occurs in up to 75% of patients with TBI, and this...

Changes in resting neural connectivity during propofol sedation.
BACKGROUND: The default mode network consists of a set of functionally connected brain regions (posterior cingulate, medial prefrontal cortex and bilateral parietal cortex) maximally active in functional imaging studies under...
