There have been extensive studies of the many phases of carbon, involving diamond and graphite, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, amorphous carbon [1–3] and Schwarzites. In this study, the authors explore the impact of topological disorder (oddmembered rings) on the electron localisation of amorphous graphene. The authors employ realistic structural models, and find that the electronic states aroun...

Four patients developed multiple narrowings or occlusions of bronchi during the early stages of sarcoidosis when the chest radiograph showed no evidence of pulmonary fibrosis. Three of the patients had symptoms of breathlessness and wheezing and all had an obstructive defect of ventilation. Bronchography showed stenoses that were not apparent at bronchoscopy. It is concluded that the possibilit...

In this paper we describe a bioinspired hybrid architecture for acoustic sound source localisation and tracking to increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) between speaker and background sources for a socially interactive robot’s speech recogniser system. The model presented incorporates the use of Interaural Time Difference for azimuth estimation and Recurrent Neural Networks for trajectory pr...

Amyloidosis is a pathological process characterised by extracellular deposition of fibrillar protein. Systemic amyloidosis with multiple organ involvement is more common than localised amyloidosis. Localised amyloid deposition in the urinary tract is uncommon and isolated involvement of the ureter and renal pelvis is a rare presentation of this uncommon disease. Primary localised amyloidosis of...
