Estimating the risk–return profile of new venture investments using a risk-neutral framework and ‘thick’ models (2012)
Journal Article

This study proposes cascade neural networks to estimate the model parameters of the Cox–Ross–Rubinstein risk-neutral approach, which, in turn, explain the risk–return profile of firms at venture capital and initial public offering (IPO)financing roun...

Lactic acidosis secondary to metformin overdose: a case report (2012)
Journal Article

Introduction Metformin is a commonly used treatment modality in type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a well documented side effect of lactic acidosis. In the intensive care setting lactate and pH levels are regularly used as a useful predictor of poor pro... Read More about Lactic acidosis secondary to metformin overdose: a case report.

The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway: a potential therapeutic target in hypertension (2012)
Journal Article

Hypertension is a risk factor for myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease. One feature of hypertension is a hyperresponsiveness to contractile agents, and inhibition of vasoconstriction forms the b...

Scanning capacitance imaging of compressible and incompressible quantum Hall effect edge strips (2012)
Journal Article

We use dynamic scanning capacitance microscopy to image compressible and incompressible strips at the edge of a Hall bar in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the quantum Hall effect (QHE) regime. This method gives access to the complex local c... Read More about Scanning capacitance imaging of compressible and incompressible quantum Hall effect edge strips.

Manifestation of dynamic Jahn-Teller distortions and surface interactions in scanning tunnelling microscopy images of fullerene anion C?60 (2012)
Journal Article

Using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), it is possible to observe detailed structure of the molecular orbitals (MOs) of fullerene anions C−60. However, understanding the experimental observations is not straightforward because of the inherent pre...

DNMTs are required for delayed genome instability caused by radiation (2012)
Journal Article

The ability of ionizing radiation to initiate genomic instability has been harnessed in the clinic where the localized delivery of controlled doses of radiation is used to induce cell death in tumor cells. Though very effective as a therapy, tumor re... Read More about DNMTs are required for delayed genome instability caused by radiation.

Canonising the Shakespeare apocrypha: Shakespeare, Middleton and co-existent canons (2012)
Journal Article

The Shakespeare Apocrypha has persisted as a category for plays of dubious authorship since 1908. Despite recent calls for this group to be dissolved, it persists as the “other” of the Shakespeare canon. The definition of the plays as a collectively...

Effects of frequency discrimination training on tinnitus: results from two randomised controlled trials (2012)
Journal Article

That auditory perceptual training may alleviate tinnitus draws on two observations: (1) tinnitus probably arises from altered activity within the central auditory system following hearing loss and (2) sound-based training can change central auditory...

Journal Article

The Psychological Well-Being Post-Traumatic Changes Questionnaire (PWB-PTCQ) is an 18 item self-report measure to assess perceived changes in psychological well-being following traumatic events. The aim was to test its psychometric properties. Across... Read More about The Psychological Well-Being—Post-Traumatic Changes Questionnaire (PWB-PTCQ): Reliability and validity.

Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2012)

Background: People with cancer are known to be at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and this risk is believed to vary according to cancer type, stage of disease, and treatment modality. Our purpose was to summarise the existing literatu... Read More about Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The truth, the half-truth, and nothing like the truth: reconceptualizing false allegations of rape (2012)
Journal Article

There is a longstanding dispute between criminal justice professionals on the one hand and researchers and commentators on the other regarding the prevalence of false allegations of rape. Prevalence, however, is contingent upon definition. If the var... Read More about The truth, the half-truth, and nothing like the truth: reconceptualizing false allegations of rape.

Ultrastable heterodyne interferometer system using a CMOS modulated light camera (2012)
Journal Article

A novel ultrastable widefield interferometer is presented. This uses a modulated light camera (MLC) to capture and stabilise the interferogram in the widefield heterodyne interferometer. This system eliminates the contribution of piston phase to the... Read More about Ultrastable heterodyne interferometer system using a CMOS modulated light camera.

When to hold that thought: an experimental study showing reduced inhibition of pre-trained associations in schizophrenia (2012)
