Each year, about 150 000 people in the UK have a first or recurrent stroke. Despite UK health policies that place a great emphasis on reducing stroke (such as the National Stroke Strategy) and improvements in mortality and morbidity, guidance is needed on access to and provision of effective rehabilitation services to maximise quality of life after stroke. This article summarises the most recen...

During the 1950s the informal settlements of Cato Manor housed a population of approximately 150 000 people. Following the promulgation of the Group Areas Act in 1955, the entire population was resettled to formal townships on the metropolitan fringe. Despite being one of the most accessible areas in the Durban metropolitan region, only five kms from the city centre, this 2000 ha site remained ...

This paper describes an experimental investigation, by means of hot-wire anemometry, the characteristics velocity and temperature in a rotating turbulent boundary layer under isothermal non-isothermal conditions. The ranges parameters are as follows: Reynolds number from 10 000 to 25 000, rotational speed 0 150 rpm, y+ 1.8 100. relative difference is held constant at 0.1. Detailed distributions...

We report on the energy-expectation-value landscapes produced by single-layer ($p=1$) Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) when being used to solve Ising problems. The are obtained using an analytical formula that we derive. allows us predict landscape for any given problem instance and consequently optimal QAOA parameters heuristically solving QAOA. have validated our showing it a...

Homo sapiens first appeared on the Earth somewhere in Africa roughly 200 000 years ago. It happened with little fanfare; few could have imagined that this new species of primate would someday disrupt the Earth system to the point of defining a new geologic epoch around its legacy. Indeed, the first 150 000 years of the natural history of our species, mostly in Africa, were fairly uneventful for...

Drop-tube processing was used to solidify rapidly a congruently melting, single phase intermeallic Ni5Ge3. This process results in the production of powders with diameters that are between 850–53 μm. After etching occurs at low cooling rates (850–150 μm diameter particles, 700–7800 K s–1), an isolated plate and lath microstructure what is otherwise featureless matrix constitutes dominant solidi...
