We conducted a pilot study using a passive radio-wave-based home monitor in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) with a focus on gait, home activity, and time in bed. We enrolled 7 ambulatory individuals to have the device installed in the bedroom of their homes over 8 weeks and performed standard PD assessments at baseline. We evaluated the abi...
During field research in Paris (2015-17) I joined an otherwise all-woman steering group for Jewish-Muslim dialogue at the Mouvement Juif Libéral de France. The impetus for the steering group came from the response to the Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Kasher murders in January 2015. Over two hundred people, friends and regular congregational members alike...
Both the ideals of the European Union (EU) and the EU’s recent political difficulties have attracted comparison with the Habsburg empire. In recent years some of those making comparison have turned to the Austrian Jewish novelists, Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth, who were crucial to the imaginative emergence of the Habsburg Myth. This paper analyses ...
This protocol details a novel bioconjugation strategy that uses a methanesulfonyl acrylate reagent that is directed to the most reactive lysine on human serum albumin, which enables the construction of chemically defined and stable bioconjugates. The reaction proceeds rapidly and a regioselective modification is achieved using a single molar equiva...
This article argues that in the moments leading up to decolonization, Indian Muslims living in East Africa sought to refuse their minority status through the excessive language of universal Islam. Groups with an established presence like the Khoja and Bohra trading communities, as well as new arrivals like the Ahmadis, sought to escape the determin...
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) standardisation demands a stable, highly reproducible physical phantom to enable routine quality control and robust performance evaluation. To address this need, we have optimised a low-cost copolymer-in-oil tissue-mimicking material formulation. The base material consists of mineral oil, copolymer and stabiliser with de...
The progress of Cu(In,Ga)S2 remains significantly limited mainly due to photovoltage (Voc) losses in the bulk and at the interfaces. Here, via a combination of photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence, electrical measurements, and ab initio modeling, we address the bulk and interface losses to improve ~ 1.6 eV bandgap (Eg) Cu(In,Ga)S2. The optoelectr...
Non-thermal, intermediate frequency (100-500 kHz) electrotherapies present a unique therapeutic strategy to treat malignant neoplasms. Here, we review pulsed electric fields which induce reversible or irreversible electroporation and tumour-treating fields highlighting the foundations, advances and considerations of each method specifically when ap...
This work outlines a new three-dimensional diffuse interface finite volume method for the simulation of multiple solid and fluid components featuring large deformations, sliding and void opening. This is achieved by extending an existing reduced-equation diffuse interface method by means of a number of novel flux-modifiers and interface seeding rou...
