A novel star-shaped Schiff base compound: synthesis, properties and application in w-LEDs
(Elsevier, 2022-03-08)A novel star-shaped Schiff base compound (3) was designed, synthesized and characterized. The thermal stability of 3 was measured. The photophysical properties and solvent effects of 3 were investigated and further analyzed ... -
A review of the valid methodological use of adaptive comparative judgement in technology education research
(Frontiers Media, 2022-03-03)There is a continuing rise in studies examining the impact that adaptive comparative judgment (ACJ) can have on practice in technology education. This appears to stem from ACJ being seen to offer a solution to the difficulties ... -
Exploring the impact of ineligibility on individuals expressing interest in a trial aimed at improving daily functioning regarding perceptions of self, research and likelihood of future participation.
(BMC, 2021-11-27)Background: Eligibility guidelines in research trials are necessary to minimise confounds and reduce bias in the interpretation of potential treatment effects. There is limited extant research investigating how being ... -
