A systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions that target the intersection of body image and movement among girls and women (2023)
Journal Article

Body image concerns and disengagement from movement-based activities are intertwined and disproportionately higher among girls and women, relative to boys and men. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined interventions targeting the intersec...

Logical gates in ensembles of proteinoid microspheres (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids are thermal proteins which swell into microspheres in aqueous solution. Ensembles of proteinoids produce electrical spiking activity similar to that of neurons. We introduce a novel method for implementing logical gates in the ensembles o... Read More about Logical gates in ensembles of proteinoid microspheres.

Novel framework for efficient detection of QRS morphology for the cardiac arrhythmia classification (2023)
Journal Article

The abnormal conduction or disturbance in the cardiac activity is called cardiac arrhythmia except for sinus rhythm. Cardiac arrhythmias are placing a significant strain on the healthcare system as a result of the rising mortality rate in the world....

Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images (2023)
Journal Article

As the use of software containerisation has increased, so too has the need for security research on their usage, with various surveys and studies conducted to assess the overall security posture of software container images. To date, there has been v... Read More about Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images.

Proteinoid microspheres as protoneural networks (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, also known as thermal proteins, possess a fascinating ability to generate microspheres that exhibit electrical spikes resembling the action potentials of neurons.

A novel fuzzy trust-based secure routing scheme in flying ad hoc networks (2023)
Journal Article

Today, many studies assess vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks in flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) to provide solutions for countermeasures. Protecting FANETs against attackers and coordinating connections are challenging. The purpose of this study...

Measuring digital humanities learning requirements in Spanish & English-speaking practitioner communities (2023)
Journal Article

Technology is global, but our use of it is subtly local. Digital scholarship in the humanities is no different. Where one is doing digital scholarship affects the types of methods and tools one will find most fruitful for humanities research. This pa...

Light induced spiking of proteinoids (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are produced by heating amino acids to their melting point and initiating polymerisation to produce polymeric chains. In aqueous solutions proteinoids swell into hollow microspheres. These microspheres produce endoge... Read More about Light induced spiking of proteinoids.

Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid (2023)
Journal Article

Colloids subjected to electrical stimuli exhibit a reconfiguration that might be used to store information and potentially compute. In a colloidal suspension of ZnO nanoparticles in DMSO, we investigated the learning, memorization, time and stimulati... Read More about Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid.

Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune (2023)
Journal Article

Growing colonies of the split-gill fungus Schizophyllum commune show action potential-like spikes of extracellular electrical potential. We analysed several days of electrical activity recording of the fungus and discovered three families of oscillat... Read More about Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune.

SWEL: A domain-specific language for modeling data-intensive workflows (2023)
Journal Article

Data-intensive applications aim at discovering valuable knowledge from large amounts of data coming from real-world sources. Typically, workflow languages are used to specify these applications, and their associated engines enable the execution of th...

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...

Investigating the role of perceived ingroup and outgroup colourism on body image and wellbeing among Black, Asian, and other racialised/ethnic minority groups living in the UK (2023)
Journal Article

Colourism is a form of prejudice and discrimination based on skin shade, disadvantaging people of colour with darker skin. This study investigates the relationship between perceived colourism, body image, and psychological wellbeing, considering perc...
