Distribution, health and welfare of donkeys working in licensed commercial operations throughout Great Britain

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In Great Britain, donkey work has shifted from beach donkey rides towards a greater diversity of economic activities, such as wellness industries, films and exhibits. This research investigates the distribution, health and welfare of donkeys in licensed activities in Great Britain.

Alternative Contract Design: Analysing the Bankability of Fungible Derivative Contracts in Energy‐Only Markets

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the retirement of 21GW of legacy coal fleet looming, the task to replace Australia's thermal capacity with alternative firmed renewable ‘bulk energy’ solutions is non‐trivial. Indeed, calibrating necessary capital investment in new plant stock with efficient economic outcomes, vis‐à‐vis cost and reliability, represents a fundamental ...

The role of pain in Graves' orbitopathy: Associations with clinical activity and quality of life

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Pain is included in the clinical activity score (CAS) as an indicator of inflammatory activity in Graves' orbitopathy (GO), yet its clinical relevance has not been systematically evaluated. We therefore investigated the relationship between pain, other inflammatory signs and quality of life (QoL), and assessed the effect of intravenous

Obstacle avoidance path planning of mobile robot based on improved DWA

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022
A new dynamic window algorithm is proposed to solve the problem that the optimal trajectory is difficult to plan and the trajectory is not smooth due to the dense obstacles in the complex workshop path planning task. The algorithm sets the initial direction angle, and then improves the evaluation function through the direction angle change factor to ...

The relation between clinical response and quality of life improvement after treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone in Graves' orbitopathy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Quality of life (QoL) is a key outcome in Graves' orbitopathy (GO), but prior studies have reported overall QoL changes without evaluating whether improvements occur specifically in patients who achieve objective clinical response.

A Dynamic Path Planning Method for UAVs Based on Improved Informed-RRT* Fused Dynamic Windows

Drones
In recent years, navigating rotor drones in complex and dynamic environments has been a significant challenge. This paper proposes an improved path planning method by integrating the enhanced Informed-RRT* algorithm with the Dynamic Window Approach (DWA)

SiC/Si ceramic hollow fibres: A new approach to Chlorella vulgaris biomass harvesting

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 4568-4578, September 2026.
Abstract Efficient harvesting of microalgae is a critical challenge for the viability of biorefineries, requiring technologies that combine high selectivity, low cost, and scalability. The current work evaluated the performance of an asymmetric hollow fibre ceramic membrane (HF‐SiC70Si30), fabricated by phase inversion and sintered at 1250°C, in the ...

The Effect of Micronutrient Intake and Supplementation on Prevalent Diabetes‐Related Foot Ulcer and Incident Hospitalisation for Diabetes‐Related Foot Ulcer in Type 2 Diabetes: The Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase 2

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether micronutrient intake and/or supplementation is associated with prevalent diabetes‐related foot ulcer (DFU) and/or incident hospitalisation for DFU in type 2 diabetes. Research Design and Methods Participants with type 2 diabetes from the community‐based Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II (FDS2; 1499 participants ...
