Electric Scooter‐Related Deaths in Queensland, Australia

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
E‐scooter usage has risen in recent years, and Queensland has seen increasing numbers of e‐scooter‐related deaths. Potential factors associated with these fatal collisions include excessive speed, alcohol intoxication, failure to give way and poor compliance with helmet use.

A Practical Approach for On-Road Measurements of Brake Wear Particles from a Light-Duty Vehicle

open access: yesAtmosphere
Brake wear particles are generated through frictional contact between the brake disc or brake drum and the brake pads. Some of these particles may be released into the atmosphere, contributing to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

The commercialization of labour markets: Evidence from wage inequality in the Middle Ages

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper moves beyond the focus on ‘average’ wage trends in pre‐industrial economies by examining the broad diversity of pay rates and forms of remuneration across occupations and regions in medieval England. We find that whilst some workers enjoyed substantial growth in wage rates after the Black Death, there was a large group who ...

The measurement of the absolute displacement of a noisy disc brake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The investigation of in-plane vibration of a noisy disc brake is problematic because it is difficult both to measure and to verify. Because of the disc structure and the inability to visualize disc in-plane vibration, there has been reluctance by ...

Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.

Internal Jugular Vein as an Alternative Access for Pacemaker Implantation: A Mostly Left IJ Case Series

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers traditionally rely on femoral venous access, which may be limited in patients with unfavorable IVC anatomy, prior interventions, or situations where preserving femoral access is preferred. Internal jugular (IJ) access offers an alternative route, but real‐world data on IJ implantation of single‐ and dual‐chamber ...
