Open AccessOn the estimation of the effect of weight change on a health outcome using observational data, by utilising the target trial emulation framework
When studying the effect of weight change between two time points on a health outcome using observational data, two main problems arise initially (i) ‘when is time zero?’ and (ii) ‘which confounders should we ...

Open AccessInfluence of adhesive on optical fiber-based strain measurements on printed circuit boards
The use of optical fiber sensing for strain measurements on printed circuit boards is a recent approach, and there is a lack of f reliable methods to obtain valid strain measurements. This work investigates th...

Braneworlds scenarios in a gravity model with higher order spatial three-curvature terms
In this work we study a Hořava-like 5-dimensional model in the context of braneworld theory. The equations of motion of such model are obtained and, within the realm of warped geometry, we show that the model ...

Asymmetric superconducting gap and DDW state in high-Tc cuprates
The asymmetric gap superconductivity is considered in orthorhombic high Tc cuprates. Recent experiments predict an anisotropy in the gap where |Δ(0,π)|> |Δ(π,0)| and the gap node deviates from the diagonal direct...
