GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS IN LAGOS: Virtual Reality between Urban Marketing and Media Activism

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the role of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mediating and contesting dominant visions of urban futures in West Africa. Drawing on theoretical insights from a hybridization of the work of the German‐born Jewish critic Walter Benjamin and the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, I introduce the concept of phantasmagoria as a ...

Study on Multi-particle Simplified Model of Offshore Jacket Platform Structure

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2018
In the damage identification and health monitoring of jacket structure, the number of sensors arranged is very small owing to the limitation of the marine environment, resulting in the freedom degrees of the experimental mode far less than the freedom ...

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Inhibition of the MER tyrosine kinase ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing macrophage M2 polarisation and osteopontin signalling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The MER proto‐oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and MERTK inhibition has been shown to ameliorate PF. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we have investigated how MERTK inhibition attenuates bleomycin (BLM)‐induced PF in mice and to elucidate the ...
