Space charge forces, representing the weak-strong case, are simulated by kicks from a line charge having a 2D-Gaussian transverse charge distribution. A series of particles having initial coordinates consistent with the dimensions of the injected beam are tracked sequentially, and tunes are obtained from analysis of the coordinates, x, x, y, and y, at the end of each turn. Stability is tested u...

Two hydroxy-functionalized hyper-cross-linked ultra-microporous compounds have been synthesized by Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction and characterised with different spectroscopic techniques. Both compounds exhibit an efficient carbon dioxide uptake over other gases like N2, H2 and O2 at room temperature. A high isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) has been obtained for both materials because of...

Many ageing reinforced concrete structures are affected by severe damage of reinforcing bars due to corrosion. Accurate knowledge the stress-strain characteristics installed is an indispensable prerequisite for realistic assessment structural safety such structures. The reduction in cross section does not only reduce load bearing capacity bars, but case hot-rolled, quenched and self-tempered (Q...

Quantum computers solve ever more complex tasks using steadily growing system sizes. Characterizing these quantum systems is vital, yet becoming increasingly challenging. The gold-standard state tomography (QST), capable of fully reconstructing a without prior knowledge. Measurement and classical computing costs, however, increase exponentially in the size - bottleneck given scale existing near...

The Sofat laboratory currently investigates the mechanisms responsible for pain and tissue damage in arthritis. Clinical studies include ‘Pain management in osteoarthritis using centrally acting analgesics’ (http://public. ukcrn.org.uk/search/StudyDetail.aspx?StudyID=12175) funded by the Rosetrees Trust. This clinical trial is testing whether drugs that inhibit pain processing pathways in the b...

The aim of this study was to determine self-perception of oral-health in institutionalized elderly, and look into the sociodemographic and clinical aspects associated with negative self-perception. One hundred and sixty-six elderly were assessed by answering a self-perception question that predicts the GOHAI (Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index). Sociodemographic data was obtained from a pre...
