Welcome to Keele Repository

The Keele Repository is intended to be an Open Access showcase for the published research output of the university. Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided.

eThesis Takedown Policy

This website provides access to electronic theses and dissertations (eTheses) submitted by students and researchers.

On the nonlinear link between stigma and collective action: Evidence from sexual and gender minorities in 25 countries (2025)
Journal Article
Selvanathan, H. P., Valdenegro, D., Noor, M., Visintin, E. P., Lalot, F., Sainz, M., …Hässler, T. (2025). On the nonlinear link between stigma and collective action: Evidence from sexual and gender minorities in 25 countries. Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, https://doi.org/10.1177/13684302241309539

The stigma faced by gender and sexual minorities varies across countries. How does stigma relate to collective action for social change? We propose a curvilinear link (i.e., an inverted U-curve) between stigma and collective action such that increase...

Autologous Peripheral Blood-Derived Orthobiologics for the Management of Elbow Disorders: A Review of Current Clinical Evidence. (2025)
Journal Article
Gupta, A., Migliorini, F., Bardazzi, T., & Maffulli, N. (2025). Autologous Peripheral Blood-Derived Orthobiologics for the Management of Elbow Disorders: A Review of Current Clinical Evidence. Pain and Therapy, https://doi.org/10.1007/s40122-025-00707-9

Elbow ailments are common, but conventional treatment modalities have shortcomings, offering only interim pain relief rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiology. The last two decades have seen a marked increase in the use of autologous peri...

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity: VI. Atmosphere and mass-loss properties of O-type giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud (2024)
Journal Article
Backs, F., Brands, S. A., de Koter, A., Kaper, L., Vink, J. S., Puls, J., …Verhamme, O. (2024). X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity: VI. Atmosphere and mass-loss properties of O-type giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 692(December 2024), 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202451893

Context. Mass loss through a stellar wind is an important physical process that steers the evolution of massive stars and controls the properties of their end-of-life products, such as the supernova type and the mass of compact remnants. To probe its... Read More about X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity: VI. Atmosphere and mass-loss properties of O-type giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud.

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity: IX. Empirical constraints on mass-loss rates and clumping parameters for OB supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2024)
Journal Article
Verhamme, O., Sundqvist, J., de Koter, A., Sana, H., Backs, F., Brands, S. A., …XShootu collaboration. (2024). X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity: IX. Empirical constraints on mass-loss rates and clumping parameters for OB supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 692(December 2024), 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202451169

Context. Current implementations of mass loss for hot, massive stars in stellar evolution models usually include a sharp increase in mass loss when blue supergiants become cooler than Teff ∼ 20 − 22 kK. Such a drastic mass-loss jump has traditionally... Read More about X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity: IX. Empirical constraints on mass-loss rates and clumping parameters for OB supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

HR 10 as seen by CHEOPS and TESS: Revealing δ Scuti pulsations, granulation-like signal and hint for transients (2024)
Journal Article
Salmon, S. J. A. J., Van Grootel, V., Sulis, S., Szabó, G. M., Brandeker, A., Broeg, C., …Walton, N. A. (2024). HR 10 as seen by CHEOPS and TESS: Revealing δ Scuti pulsations, granulation-like signal and hint for transients. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 690, 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202346180

Context. HR 10 has only recently been identified as a binary system. Previously thought to be an A-type shell star, it appears that both components are fast-rotating A-type stars, each presenting a circumstellar envelope. Although showing complex pho...
