Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum (2013)
Journal Article

© 2013, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. The corpus luteum (CL) is an ovarian tissue that grows in the wound space created by follicular rupture. It produces the progesterone needed in the uterus to maintain pregnancy. Rapid growth of the CL and pr... Read More about Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum.

An investigation into IgE-facilitated allergen recognition and presentation by human dendritic cells (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Allergen recognition by dendritic cells (DCs) is a key event in the allergic cascade leading to production of IgE antibodies. C-type lectins, such as the mannose receptor and DC-SIGN, were recently shown to play an important role in the u...

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps in patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving palliative chemotherapy: a randomized Phase II study (2013)
Journal Article

Background A reduced exercise capacity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therapeutic exercise can be beneficial and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the...

Impacts of premature yeast flocculation factors on yeast physiological characteristics and metabolite profiles during stirred and unstirred high-gravity fermentations (2013)
Journal Article

Premature yeast flocculation (PYF) is a sporadic condition of brewery fermentations in which yeast settles out from the fermenting wort earlier or more heavily than usual and before full attenuation has been reached. Factors originating from malt (i....

First Identification of Rare-Earth Oxide Nucleation in Chalcogenide Glasses and Implications for Fabrication of Mid-Infrared Active Fibers (2013)
Journal Article

Gallium (Ga) helps solubilize rare-earth ions in chalcogenide glasses, but has been found to form the dominant crystallizing selenide phase in bulk glass in our previous work. Here, the crystallization behavior is compared of as-annealed 0–3000 ppmw...

Viscosity development during aqueous dispersion and dissolution: a comparison of PGX® with other dietary supplements and individual polysaccharides (2013)
Journal Article

Viscosity development with time was studied during the aqueous dissolution of the novel polysaccharide complex PGX®, a finer particle size version used in meal replacement PGXf, and a blend of the three polysaccharides 3PB used in their manufacture....

Observer based temperature control for reduced thermal cycling in power electronic cooling (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents an advanced dynamic cooling strategy for multi-layer structured power electronic modules. A observer based feedback controller is proposed to reduce a power device or module's thermal cycle amplitude during operation, with the aim...

A randomised trial of ondansetron for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D) is particularly debilitating due to urgency and episodic incontinence. Some 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists (5-HT3RAs) have proven effective but have serious side effects.... Read More about A randomised trial of ondansetron for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea.

Epigenetic Regulation of Sensory Axon Regeneration after Spinal Cord Injury (2013)
Journal Article

Axon regeneration is hindered by a decline of intrinsic axon growth capability in mature neurons. Reversing this decline is associated with the induction of a large repertoire of regeneration-associated genes (RAGs), but the underlying regulatory mec...

Journal Article

Achieving low voltage half electrolysis with a supercapacitor electrode (2013)
Journal Article

Half electrolysis consists of a single faradaic reaction and a supercapacitor electrode. The electrolytic product is only produced at the faradaic electrode and the low voltage electrolysis is highly energy efficient.

Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns (2013)
Journal Article

Participate was a 3-year collaboration between industry and academia to explore how mobile, Web and broadcast technologies could combine to deliver environ- mental campaigns. In a series of pilot projects, schools used mobile sensors to enhance scien... Read More about Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns.

Investigating the microrheology of the vitreous humor using an optically trapped local probe (2013)
Journal Article

We demonstrate that an optically trapped silica bead can be used as a local probe to measure the micro-rheology of the vitreous humor. The Brownian motion of the bead was observed using a fast camera and the micro-rheology determined by analysis of t...

Surgical excision versus imiquimod 5% cream for nodular and superficial basal-cell carcinoma (SINS): a multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Basal-cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and its incidence is increasing worldwide. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of imiquimod cream versus surgical excision in patients with low-risk basal-cell carcinoma. Method...
