Non-parametric directionality analysis: extension for removal of a single common predictor and application to time series (2016)
Journal Article
Halliday, D. M., Senik, M. H., Stevenson, C. W., & Mason, R. (2016). Non-parametric directionality analysis: extension for removal of a single common predictor and application to time series. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 268, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2016.05.008

BACKGROUND: The ability to infer network structure from multivariate neuronal signals is central to computational neuroscience. Directed network analyses typically use parametric approaches based on auto-regressive (AR) models, where networks are con...

Quantitative analysis of ruminal bacterial populations involved in lipid metabolism in dairy cows fed different vegetable oils (2016)
Journal Article
Vargas-Bello-Perez, E., Cancino-Padilla, N., Romero, J., & Garnsworthy, P. (2016). Quantitative analysis of ruminal bacterial populations involved in lipid metabolism in dairy cows fed different vegetable oils. Animal, 10(11), https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731116000756

Vegetable oils are used to increase energy density of dairy cow diets, although they can provoke changes in rumen bacteria populations and have repercussions on the biohydrogenation process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two sou...

Scientific issues relevant to setting regulatory criteria to identify endocrine-disrupting substances in the European Union (2016)
Journal Article
Slama, R., Bourguignon, J., Demeneix, B., Ivell, R., Panzica, G., Kortenkamp, A., & Zoeller, R. T. (2016). Scientific issues relevant to setting regulatory criteria to identify endocrine-disrupting substances in the European Union. Environmental Health Perspectives, 124(10), 1497-1503. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP217

Background: Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as exogenous compounds or mixtures that alter function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse effects in an intact organism, or its progeny,...

Using the incidence and impact of behavioural conditions in guide dogs to investigate patterns in undesirable behaviour in dogs (2016)
Journal Article
Caron-Lormier, G., Harvey, N. D., England, G. C., & Asher, L. (2016). Using the incidence and impact of behavioural conditions in guide dogs to investigate patterns in undesirable behaviour in dogs. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 23860. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep23860

The domestic dog is one of our most popular companions and longest relationships, occupying different roles, from pet to working guide dog for the blind. As dogs age different behavioural issues occur and in some cases dogs may be relinquished or rem...

The male fetal biomarker INSL3 reveals substantial hormone exchange between fetuses in early pig gestation (2016)
Journal Article
Vernunft, A., Ivell, R., Heng, K., & Anand-Ivell, R. (2016). The male fetal biomarker INSL3 reveals substantial hormone exchange between fetuses in early pig gestation. PLoS ONE, 11(3), Article e0152689. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152689

The peptide hormone INSL3 is uniquely produced by the fetal testis to promote the transabdominal phase of testicular descent. Because it is fetal sex specific, and is present in only very low amounts in the maternal circulation, INSL3 acts as an idea...

To investigate the potential relationship between age and diagnosis of cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) in the bitches, 348 ultrasound examinations from 240 bitches (Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Flat Coated Retrievers, or cross...
