The Distribution of Cross Sectional Momentum Returns When Underlying Asset Returns Are Student’s t Distributed
In Kwon and Satchell (2018), a theoretical framework was introduced to investigate the distributional properties of the cross-sectional momentum returns under the assumption that the vector of asset returns over the...

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...

Net load‐displacement estimation in soil‐nailing pullout tests
Soil-nails are used to stabilise a soil mass by exploiting the resistance generated by the skin friction between the ground and grout and the tensile stiffness of the reinforcing material. A load–displacement curve is obtained...

Validation of the Apple Watch for Estimating Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity and Activity Energy Expenditure in School-Aged Children
The Apple Watch is one of the most popular wearable devices designed to monitor physical activity (PA). However, it is currently unknown whether the Apple Watch accurately estimates children’s free-living PA. Therefore, this...

Induced Birefringence in 3D Printing
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method to spatially vary the intra‐layer birefringence of Fused Filament Fabricated (FFF) parts by controlling chain alignment during extrusion along individual rasters. The role of print...

The 3D printing of freestanding PLLA thin layers and improving first layer consistency through the introduction of sacrificial PVA
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is an inexpensive way of producing objects through a programmed layer-by-layer deposition. For multi-layer, macro-scaled prints, acceptable printing is achieved provided, amongst other...
