The VERDI time-of-flight spectrometer is dedicated to measurements of fission product yields and of prompt neutron emission data.Pre-neutron fission-fragment masses will be determined by the double time-of-flight (TOF) technique.For this purpose an excellent time resolution is required.The time of flight of the fragments will be measured by electro
Treating anxiety after stroke (TASK): the feasibility phase of a novel web-enabled randomised controlled trial
Abstract Background Anxiety affects a quarter of strokes.It can be disabling even after mild stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA).It is not feasible to deliver conventional psychological therapies to the large population of anxious stroke and TIA patients.We are testing the feasibility of a web-enabled randomised controlled trial (RCT) to co
Computational studies: A passive strategy to improve visual comfort by optimizing daylight uniformity in the classroom
Even distribution of natural light is crucial in creating optimal visual comfort in classrooms.Many classrooms in tropical areas experience lighting imbalances, with areas near windows receiving excessive light, while others lack lighting.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of passive design strategies in improving the uniformity of natur
CCR2 Deficiency Impairs Ly6Clo and Ly6Chi Monocyte Responses in Orientia tsutsugamushi Infection
Orientia (O.) tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, is a neglected, obligate intracellular bacterium that has a prominent tropism for monocytes and macrophages.Complications often involve the lung, where interstitial pneumonia is a typical finding.The severity of scrub typhus in humans has been linked to altered plasma concentrations
