English across the four nations: A ‘home international’ comparison of secondary English curricula in the UK

open access: yesThe Curriculum Journal, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 523-543, June 2026.
Abstract Every child across the UK is expected to study English until the age of 16. The subject is understood to be a core and foundational element of pupils' curriculum entitlement across their school lives, and success in English is a key determinant for influencing individuals' future trajectories, and for impacting wider economic and social ...

Unified Quality-Aware Compression and Pulse-Respiration Rates Estimation Framework for Reducing Energy Consumption and False Alarms of Wearable PPG Monitoring Devices

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Due to the high demands of tiny, compact, lightweight, and low-cost photoplethysmogram (PPG) monitoring devices, these devices are resource-constrained including limited battery power.

Nested Quantum Annealing Correction

open access: yes, 2015
We present a general error-correcting scheme for quantum annealing that allows for the encoding of a logical qubit into an arbitrarily large number of physical qubits.

Simulated Quantum Annealing with Two All-to-All Connectivity Schemes

open access: yes, 2016
Quantum annealing aims to exploit quantum mechanics to speed up the search for the solution to optimization problems. Most problems exhibit complete connectivity between the logical spin variables after they are mapped to the Ising spin Hamiltonian of ...

New Geoarchaeological Evidence for Long‐Distance Chert Procurement in the Neolithic Western Balkans: The Gorjani Assemblage (Croatia)

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a preliminary provenance investigation of chert artifacts from the Neolithic site of Gorjani in Slavonia (eastern Croatia), aiming to assess the existence of long‐distance procurement or exchange networks in the western Balkans.

Heavy metal pollution assessment in marine sediments in the Northwest coast of Sabah, Malaysia

open access: yesChina Geology, 2023
Heavy metal contents along the Northwest coast of Sabah were determined to interpret the pollution level in the marine sediment. The metal abundance is regulated by the physico-chemical properties such as the average sediment pH (7.82, 9.00 and 8.99 ...

Individual and collective transitions: Changes in family information networks over time in life with chronic illness

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 367-382, February 2026.
Abstract Chronic illness represents a transition for both patients and their family members although transitions and information behavior changes have largely been explored from an individual perspective. Illness‐related transitions may be undertaken individually or collectively, but little is known about how family information networks change in the ...

Efficiency of quantum versus classical annealing in non-convex learning problems

open access: yes, 2017
Quantum annealers aim at solving non-convex optimization problems by exploiting cooperative tunneling effects to escape local minima. The underlying idea consists in designing a classical energy function whose ground states are the sought optimal ...

Stressors in anaesthesiology: development and validation of a new questionnaire: A cross-sectional study of Portuguese anaesthesiologists [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
BACKGROUND: Stress in anaesthesiologists is a common and multifactorial problem related to patients, colleagues and organisations. The consequences of stress include depression, work-home conflicts and burnout.
