Krauth, S. J., Steell, L., Ahmed, S., McIntosh, E., Dibben, G. O., Hanlon, P., …Jani, B. D. (in press). Association of latent class analysis-derived multimorbidity clusters with adverse health outcomes in patients with multiple long-term conditions: comparative results across three UK cohorts. #Journal not on list, 74, 102703. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102703

Background It remains unclear how to meaningfully classify people living with multimorbidity (multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs)), beyond counting the number of conditions. This paper aims to identify clusters...

Investigation on the structure and performance of supported Ni nanoparticles for the hydrogenation of furfural (2024)
Journal Article
Chen, X., Alijani, S., Gallarati, S., Tessore, F., Jaen, J. J. D., Gianolio, D., …Arrigo, R. (in press). Investigation on the structure and performance of supported Ni nanoparticles for the hydrogenation of furfural. ChemCatChem, https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202400229

In this study, nickel nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using two methods: the hot‐injection method and a room temperature colloidal synthesis using dioctyl tartrate as a capping agent. Each approach yielded Ni nanoparticles with unique mor... Read More about Investigation on the structure and performance of supported Ni nanoparticles for the hydrogenation of furfural.

Dental topography of prosimian premolars predicts diet: A comparison in premolar and molar dietary classification accuracies (2024)
Journal Article
de Vries, D., Winchester, J. M., Fulwood, E. L., St. Clair, E. M., & Boyer, D. M. (in press). Dental topography of prosimian premolars predicts diet: A comparison in premolar and molar dietary classification accuracies. American Journal of Biological Anthropology, e24995. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.24995

Objectives: This study tests whether (1) premolar topography of extant “prosimians” (strepsirrhines and tarsiers) successfully predicts diet and (2) whether the combination of molar and premolar topography yields higher classification accuracy than u...

Reassembling nursing in the digital age: An actor‐network theory perspective (2024)
Journal Article
Wynn, M., & Garwood‐Cross, L. (in press). Reassembling nursing in the digital age: An actor‐network theory perspective. Nursing Inquiry, e12655. https://doi.org/10.1111/nin.12655

This article explores the application of actor‐network theory (ANT) to the nursing profession, proposing a novel perspective in understanding nursing in the context of modern digital healthcare. Traditional grand nursing theories, while foundational,... Read More about Reassembling nursing in the digital age: An actor‐network theory perspective.

The World Without, the World Within and the Space Between: Amanda Dalton’s Adaptation of Nosferatu for BBC Radio 3 (2024)
Journal Article
McMurtry, L. (in press). The World Without, the World Within and the Space Between: Amanda Dalton’s Adaptation of Nosferatu for BBC Radio 3. Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance,

Made for BBC Radio 3, the radio drama The Midnight Cry of the Death-Bird (2012) is an adaptation of Nosferatu (1922). Nosferatu is both a target text (of Dracula, 1897) and a source text (of The Midnight Cry). Thus, complex layers of adaptation and a...
