Offender Learning and Prison Education (2020)
Book Chapter
Wilkinson, S. (2020). Offender Learning and Prison Education. In J. Tummons (Ed.), PCET: Learning and teaching in the post compulsory sector (219-231). SAGE Publications

Using concepts drawn from complexity, organizational and management theories, the chapter considers the role and purpose of prison education and its place within the English prison system. What it is like to work in offender learning and the experien... Read More about Offender Learning and Prison Education.

Developing a Semantic-Driven Hybrid Segmentation Method for Point Clouds of 3D Shapes (2020)
Journal Article
Yang, X., Han, X., Li, Q., He, L., Pang, M., & Jia, C. (2020). Developing a Semantic-Driven Hybrid Segmentation Method for Point Clouds of 3D Shapes. IEEE Access, 8, 40861-40880. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.2976847

With the rapid development of point cloud processing technologies and the availability of a wide range of 3D capturing devices, a geometric object from the real world can be directly represented digitally as a dense and fine point cloud. Decomposing... Read More about Developing a Semantic-Driven Hybrid Segmentation Method for Point Clouds of 3D Shapes.

Screening and brief interventions for adolescent alcohol use disorders presenting through emergency departments: a research programme including two RCTs (2020)
Journal Article
Deluca, P., Coulton, S., Alam, M. F., Boniface, S., Donoghue, K., Gilvarry, E., Kaner, E., Lynch, E., Maconochie, I., McArdle, P., McGovern, R., Newbury-Birch, D., Patton, R., Pellatt-Higgins, T., Phillips, C., Phillips, T., Pockett, R., Russell, I. T., Strang, J., & Drummond, C. (2020). Screening and brief interventions for adolescent alcohol use disorders presenting through emergency departments: a research programme including two RCTs. Programme Grants for Applied Research, 8(2), 1-144. https://doi.org/10.3310/pgfar08020

Background: Alcohol consumption and related harm increase steeply from the ages of 12–20 years. Adolescents in the UK are among the heaviest drinkers in Europe. Excessive drinking in adolescents is associated with increased risk of accidents, injurie...

Probing molecular ordering in the nematic phases of para-linked bimesogen dimers through NMR studies of flexible prochiral solutes (2020)
Journal Article
Heist, L. M., Samulski, E. T., Welch, C., Ahmed, Z., Mehl, G. H., Vanakaras, A. G., & Photinos, D. J. (2020). Probing molecular ordering in the nematic phases of para-linked bimesogen dimers through NMR studies of flexible prochiral solutes. Liquid crystals, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1080/02678292.2019.1711214

The quadrupolar splittings of perdeuteriated n-decane dissolved in nematic phases formed by mesogenic dimers of the CBnCB series, for n = 7,9,10,11, are measured throughout the entire temperature range of these phases. These results are reported toge... Read More about Probing molecular ordering in the nematic phases of para-linked bimesogen dimers through NMR studies of flexible prochiral solutes.

Pulse propagation in gravity currents (2020)
Journal Article
Allen, P. A., Dorrell, R. M., Harlen, O. G., Thomas, R. E., & McCaffrey, W. D. (2020). Pulse propagation in gravity currents. Physics of Fluids, 32(1), Article 016603. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5130576

Real world gravity current flows rarely exist as a single discrete event, but are instead made up of multiple surges. This paper examines the propagation of surges as pulses in gravity currents. Using theoretical shallow-water modeling, we analyze th... Read More about Pulse propagation in gravity currents.

A comprehensive screening protocol to identify incidence of lower back pain in military office workers (2020)
Journal Article
Alizadeh, R., Shariat, A., Hakakzadeh, A., Selk-Ghaffari, M., Damavandi, P., Honarpishe, R., & Ingle, L. (2020). A comprehensive screening protocol to identify incidence of lower back pain in military office workers. Journal of Pain Management, 13(1), 35-40

Military workers experience different types of lower back pain (LBP), but there is little evidence concerning the incidence of LBP in this group, especially in Asian countries. One of the most common forms of LBP is discogenic low back pain (DLBP) wh... Read More about A comprehensive screening protocol to identify incidence of lower back pain in military office workers.
