UK media representations of carbon capture and storage: actors, frames and metaphors (2013)
Journal Article
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a climate change mitigation technology which has had a rather chequered history in British policy making and in the British public sphere. This article deals with the neglected topic of representations of CCS in th... Read More about UK media representations of carbon capture and storage: actors, frames and metaphors.
Overview of telematics-based prognostics and health management systems for commercial vehicles (2013)
Journal Article
Prognostics and Health Management/Monitoring (PHM) are methods to assess the health condition and reliability of systems for the purpose of maximising operational reliability and safety. Recently, PHM systems are emerging in the automotive industry.... Read More about Overview of telematics-based prognostics and health management systems for commercial vehicles.
Effects of various food ingredients on gall bladder emptying (2013)
Journal Article
Background/objectives: The emptying of the gall bladder in response to feeding is pivotal for the digestion of fat, but the role of various food ingredients in contracting the gall bladder postprandially is not well understood. We hypothesized that d... Read More about Effects of various food ingredients on gall bladder emptying.
Wavelet feature extraction and genetic algorithm for biomarker detection in colorectal cancer data (2013)
Journal Article
Biomarkers which predict patient’s survival can play an important role in medical diagnosis and treatment. How to select the significant biomarkers from hundreds of protein markers is a key step in survival analysis. In this paper a novel method is...

Amorphous layer formation in Al86.0Co7.6Ce6.4 glass-forming alloy by large-area electron beam irradiation (2013)
Journal Article
Amorphous Al-Co-Ce alloys are of interest because of their resistance to corrosion, but high cooling rates are generally required to suppress the formation of crystalline phases. In this study, the surface of a bulk crystalline Al-Co-Ce alloy of a gl... Read More about Amorphous layer formation in Al86.0Co7.6Ce6.4 glass-forming alloy by large-area electron beam irradiation.
Moral regulation: historical geography and scale (2013)
Journal Article
This paper introduces a special issue on the historical geography of moral regulation and scale. The paper examines the rich and varied work of geographers on moral geographies before looking at wider work on moral regulation influenced by Michel Fou...

Climate change and ‘climategate’ in online reader comments: a mixed methods study (2013)
Journal Article
Climate change has rarely been out of the public spotlight in the first decade of this century. The high-profile international meetings and controversies such as ‘climategate’ have highlighted the fact that it is as much a political issue as it is a...

Runes and words: runic lexicography in context (2013)
Journal Article
The paper begins by noting the lack of a comprehensive dictionary of Scandinavian runic inscriptions, as well as the absence of the runic evidence from most dictionaries of the early Scandinavian languages, and considers possible reasons for this. R... Read More about Runes and words: runic lexicography in context.

Contesting science by appealing to its norms: readers discuss climate science in the Daily Mail (2013)
Journal Article
This study examines the rhetorical aspects of social contestation of climate change in reader comments published in the Daily Mail, subsequent to climategate. The following themes are reported: (1) denigration of climate scientists to contest hegemon...

Binocular summation of second-order global motion signals in human vision (2013)
Journal Article
Although many studies have examined the principles governing first-order global motion perception, the mechanisms that mediate second-order global motion perception remain unresolved. This study investigated the existence, nature and extent of the bi... Read More about Binocular summation of second-order global motion signals in human vision.
Near-net-shape production of hollow titanium alloy components via electrochemical reduction of metal oxide precursors in molten salts (2013)
Journal Article
Metal oxide precursors (ca. 90 wt pct Ti, 6 wt pct Al, and 4 wt pct V) were prepared with a hollow structure in various shapes such as a sphere, miniature golf club head, and cup using a one-step solid slip-casting process. The precursors were then e... Read More about Near-net-shape production of hollow titanium alloy components via electrochemical reduction of metal oxide precursors in molten salts.
UK police custody officers’ psychosocial hazard exposures and burnout (2013)
Journal Article
Purpose – Stress research in the UK policing has largely neglected to account for variance in the type of psychosocial hazard officers are exposed to across policing roles, highlighting the need for role-specific research that is capable of informing...

Working memory training for adult hearing aid users: study protocol for a double-blind randomized active controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article
Background: One in ten people aged between 55 to 74 years have a significant hearing impairment in their better hearing ear (as defined by audiometric hearing thresholds). However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the challenges faced by older...

Business education and the (re)production of gendered cultures of work in the City of London (2013)
Journal Article
This paper examines the role of business education in producing and legitimating gendered cultures of work in the City of London. By combining research on the gendered nature of service work with Bourdieu's identification of multiple forms of capital...

Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T- and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals (2013)
Journal Article
Multiple reports now describe changes to the DNA methylome in rheumatoid arthritis and in many cases have analyzed methylation in mixed cell populations from whole blood. However, these approaches may preclude the identification of cell type-specific...

ERK phosphorylation of MED14 in promoter complexes during mitogen-induced gene activation by Elk-1 (2013)
Journal Article
The ETS domain transcription factor Elk-1 stimulates expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) in response to mitogens. These events require phosphorylation of Elk-1 by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphorylation-dependent intera...
