91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ

More than 1000 face masks, donated to the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ by its partner Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in China, will help protect key workers in care homes across Coventry and Warwickshire.

Dashcams are vital for helping police investigate car incidents, however the way the footage is submitted to police, managed and processed can cause problems. A researcher at WMG, 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ has assessed seven different types of dashcams’ SD storage systems to see how they help and hinder digital forensics.

Sharifah Sekalala, Associate Professor in Warwick School of Law, will be taking on two significant projects aimed at ensuring that human rights don’t get eroded in the national and international response to the coronavirus pandemic with support from the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account.

The 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ is named as one of the UK’s top ten, Europe’s top 20 and world’s top 100, universities by the new QS World University Rankings published today Wednesday 10th June 2020.

Extreme space weather events can significantly impact systems such as satellites, communications systems, power distribution and aviation. They are driven by solar activity which is known to have an irregular but roughly 11 year cycle. By devising a new, regular ‘sun clock’, researchers have found that the switch on and off of periods of high solar activity is quite sharp, and are able to determine the switch on/off times. Their analysis shows that whilst extreme events can happen at any time, they are much less likely to occur in the quiet interval.

The role that online resources have played in supporting the wellbeing of unpaid carers and keeping them connected during the COVID-19 lockdown is being highlighted this week by the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ team behind Care Companion, an online tool that has been supporting over 300 carers in Coventry and Warwickshire.
