The benefits of exercise programmes for pre-school children with autism spectrum disorders
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) see the world differently and can find it hard to interact with both their environment and other people. Sport has many benefits for mental […]
Reducing treatment costs for thyroid cancer patients in Japan
Japan’s healthcare system disincentivises longer hospital stays to reduce costs, but also categorises certain complications as secondary diseases, which incur separate additional payments. The high rate of occurrence of these […]

Modelling the growth of minerals
What do precious gems, seashells, and bones have in common? The answer is minerals. Minerals are chemically complex solids that are mostly formed naturally by Earth’s and space’s geological processes […]
Measuring an ecosystem’s response to climate change through sun induced fluorescence (SIF) in the Caatinga bioregion
Climate change is increasing global temperatures and the regularity and severity of droughts. Researchers are continually looking for innovative ways of measuring these effects on global ecosystems. The detection of […]
Digital transformation for higher education post COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the world to migrate to online environments, with differing degrees of difficulty and success. Lloyd George Waller of the University […]
