Background: Diet is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and shows well-established socioeconomic patterning among adults. However, less clear is how socioeconomic inequalities in diet develop across the life course. This study assessed the associations of early adulthood socioeconomic trajectories (SETs) with adult diet quality, adj...
The sit-and-wait hypothesis predicts that bacteria can become more virulent when they survive and transmit outside of their hosts due to circumventing the costs of host mortality. While this hypothesis is largely supported theoretically and through comparative analysis, experimental validation is limited. Here we test this hypothesis in Streptococc...
Embryogenesis is a vulnerable time. Mutations in developmental cells can result in the wide dissemination of cells predisposed to disease within mature organs. We characterised the evolutionary history of four synchronous renal tumours from a 14-year-old girl using whole genome sequencing alongside single cell and bulk transcriptomic sequencing. Ph...
Sociologists and political economists frequently study the politics of economic ideas, but the official statistics that enable decision-making and shape public debate have been less scrutinized. This article theorizes symbolic fiscal practices—the conceptual and accounting conventions, procedures, techniques, and devices underlying official budgeta...
Soft robotics, an emerging domain in modern robotics, introduces innovative possibilities alongside challenges in controllability, particularly with multi-degree inflatable ac- tuators. We present a novel manipulation method using un- deractuated soft fingers that addresses these challenges by harnessing symmetry breaking. Central to our approach i...
Annular substructures in protoplanetary discs, ubiquitous in sub-mm observations, can be caused by gravitational coupling between a disc and its embedded planets. Planetary density waves inject angular momentum into the disc leading to gap opening only after travelling some distance and steepening into shocks (in the absence of linear damping); no ...
This is the data collected as part of the Ribbons DCE study (Understanding public receptiveness to risk-based innovations for cancer prevention, screening and early diagnosis - discrete choice experiment). The aim of this study was to quantify the relative importance of different attributes of risk-based technologies amongst members of the public. ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) drives new modes of learning and improves the workflow of instructors. Nevertheless, there are concerns about academic integrity, plagiarism, and reduction of critical thinking in higher education. Therefore, it is important to record and analyse university social sciences students’ attitudes toward AI which is signific...
Structural data was collected using x-ray diffractometer. The XRD data include 2theta-omega and 2theta measurement at chi 71 and phi 45. They are all converted to .csv files. PFM data is included in the data set in .001 and .dat format. .001 shows piezo-response force microscopy (PFM) poled images that one can access via NanoscopeAnalysis software ...
Microscopy provides a proxy for assessing the operation of perovskite solar cells, yet most works in the literature have focused on bare perovskite thin films, missing charge transport and recombination losses present in full devices. Here, we demonstrate a multimodal operando microscopy toolkit to measure and spatially correlate nanoscale charge t...
