The effect of 12-month participation in osteogenic and non-osteogenic sports on bone development in adolescent male athletes. The PRO-BONE study
(Elsevier for Sports Medicine Australia (SMA), 2017-09-01)OBJECTIVES: Research investigating the longitudinal effects of the most popular sports on bone development in adolescent males is scarce. The aim is to investigate the effect of 12-month participation in osteogenic and ... -
Counterfactualism and Anticipation
(Springer International, 2017-09-30)Most attempts at forecasting the future depend, explicitly or implicitly, on knowledge about the past, whether this is then used to offer possible analogies or to support normative theories with data about past events and ... -
Cooperative oxygen sensing by the kidney and carotid body in blood pressure control
(Frontiers Media, 2017)Oxygen sensing mechanisms are vital for homeostasis and survival. When oxygen levels are too low (hypoxia), blood flow has to be increased, metabolism reduced, or a combination of both, to counteract tissue damage. These ... -
Testing the stability of behavioural coping style across stress contexts in the Trinidadian guppy
(Wiley for British Ecological Society, 2017)1. Within-populations, individuals can vary in stress response, a multivariate phenomenon comprising neuroendocrine, physiological and behavioural traits. 2. Verbal models of individual stress ‘coping style’ have proposed ... -
Investigation of crystallization dynamics in phase-change material using the Master rate equation at ultrafast heating rates
(University of ExeterMathematics, 2017-08-04)Phase-change materials are widely used in non-volatile computer memories, and in arithmetic and logic processing applications. Phase-change based devices are also required to operate at different and high heating rates in ... -
When is it adaptive to be patient? A general framework for evaluating delayed rewards
(Elsevier, 2011-09-12)The tendency of animals to seek instant gratification instead of waiting for greater long-term benefits has been described as impatient, impulsive or lacking in self-control. How can we explain the evolution of such seemingly ... -
Duality between time and frequency domains for vibration serviceability analysis of floor structures
(Elsevier, 2017-09-12)For vibration serviceability of floors, current design guidelines adopt different criteria to assess vibration levels due to human walking dynamic excitation. Whatever the adopted criterion is, it requires a quantified ... -
Effect of Walking people on Dynamic Properties of Floors
(Elsevier, 2017-09-12)Despite the intensive research that has focused on the dynamic interaction between walking people and slender footbridges, this phenomenon has never been investigated for floor structures. For lightweight floors having ... -
Compressed sensing with near-field THz radiation
(Optical Society of America, 2017-08-17)We demonstrate a form of near-field terahertz (THz) imaging that is compatible with compressed sensing algorithms. By spatially photomodulating THz pulses using a set of shaped binary optical patterns and employing a ... -
‘Fishing after News’ and the Ars Apodemica: The Intelligencing Role of the Educational Traveller in the Late Sixteenth Century
(Brill, 2016)The subject of this chapter is the sending of news and information from English travellers abroad to the governing circles of late Elizabethan England. A stay abroad carried with it an expectation that casual travellers, ... -
The association between co-morbid autism spectrum disorders and antipsychotic treatment failure in early-onset psychosis: a historical cohort study using electronic health records
(Physicians Postgraduate Press, 2017)Objective: In a sample of children and adolescents with first-episode psychosis, we investigated whether multiple treatment failure (MTF, defined as the initiation of a third trial of novel antipsychotic due to non-adherence, ... -
5-hydroxymethylcytosine is highly dynamic across human fetal brain development
(BioMed Central, 2017-09-18)Background Epigenetic processes play a key role in orchestrating transcriptional regulation during the development of the human central nervous system. We previously described dynamic changes in DNA methylation (5mC) ... -
Rapid global ocean-atmosphere response to Southern Ocean freshening during the last glacial
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-12)Contrasting Greenland and Antarctic temperatures during the last glacial period (115,000 to 11,650 years ago) are thought to have been driven by imbalances in the rates of formation of North Atlantic and Antarctic Deep ... -
Human activity was a major driver of the mid-Holocene vegetation change in southern Cumbria: Implications for the elm decline in the British Isles
(Wiley for Quaternary Research Association, 2017-09-06)The dramatic decline in elm (Ulmus) across a large swathe of north-west Europe in the mid-Holocene has been ascribed to a number of possible factors, including climate change, human activity and/or pathogens. A major ... -
Clinical Evaluation of the Newly Formatted Lateral-Flow Device for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
(Wiley for Deutschsprachige Mykologische Gesellschaft, 2017-09-18)The study evaluated the newly formatted Aspergillus-specific lateral-flow-device (LFD), and compared its performance to the original prototype “old” LFD test using BALF samples from 28 patients (14 patients with probable/proven ... -
The use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a diagnostic tool to measure microvascular haemodynamics in bone tissue.
(Springer, 2016-09-22)Bone is a dynamic and highly vascular tissue, but measuring markers of microvascular haemodynamics within bone is currently difficult. There are logistical and technical limitations with existing tests based around MRI ... -
RadBench: Benchmarking image interpretation skills
(WB Saunders, 2016-01-20)Purpose The key aim of this research was to develop an objective, accurate assessment tool with which to provide regular measurement and monitoring of image interpretation performance. The tool was a specially developed ... -
Exercise to preserve beta cell function in recent-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (EXTOD)--a study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial.
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-18)BACKGROUND: Exercise has a beta cell preserving effect in patients with type 2 diabetes. This benefit of exercise has not been examined in type 1 diabetes. Significant beta cell function is present at the time of diagnosis ... -
Short Duration Small Sided Football and to a Lesser Extent Whole Body Vibration Exercise Induce Acute Changes in Markers of Bone Turnover.
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016-11-29)We aimed to study whether short-duration vibration exercise or football sessions of two different durations acutely changed plasma markers of bone turnover and muscle strain. Inactive premenopausal women (n = 56) were ... -
