Confirming a predicted selection rule in inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy: the quantum translator-rotator H2 entrapped inside C60 (2014)
Journal Article

We report an inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of H2 molecule encapsulated inside the fullerene C60 which confirms the recently predicted selection rule, the first to be established for the INS spectroscopy of aperiodic, discrete molecular com...

Bringing class back in: class consciousness and solidarity among Chinese migrant workers in Italy and the UK (2014)
Journal Article

The growing literature on international migration has a tendency to emphasize homogenous elements such as shared ethnic background, social network and cultural similarities in shaping immigrants' identity. We argue that this underestimates the differ... Read More about Bringing class back in: class consciousness and solidarity among Chinese migrant workers in Italy and the UK.

Chinese student migration and integration in the UK: an exploration of links to and engagement with local communities in Nottingham (2014)
Journal Article

The unprecedented growth in the number of Chinese students in the last decade or so has raised challenging issues about their integration on campus and in the wider community. Many questions arise regarding the impact of Chinese student migration and...

The impact of cafeteria feeding during lactation in the rat on novel object discrimination in the offspring (2014)
Journal Article

There is increasing evidence that hyperenergetic diets impact on memory in rodents. However, it is largely unknown how diets, such as a cafeteria diet (CD), that mimic a Western diet act on learning and memory, in particular when fed during early sta...

Development of a surveillance scheme for equine influenza in the UK and characterisation of viruses isolated in Europe, Dubai and the USA from 2010-2012 (2014)
Journal Article

Equine influenza viruses are a major cause of respiratory disease in horses worldwide and undergo antigenic drift. Several outbreaks of equine influenza occurred worldwide during 2010-2012, including in vaccinated animals, highlighting the importance...

Science engagement and literacy: a retrospective analysis for students in Canada and Australia (2014)
Journal Article

Given international concerns about students’ pursuit (or more correctly, non-pursuit) of courses and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), this study is about achieving a better understanding of factors related to high s...

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. (2014)
Journal Article

The domestic guinea pig, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, belongs to the Caviidae family of rodents. It is an important species as a pet, a source of food and in medical research. Adult weight is achieved at 8-12 months and life expectancy is ?5-6 years. O...

Fullerenes as adhesive layers for mechanical peeling of metallic, molecular and polymer thin films (2014)
Journal Article

We show that thin films of C60 with a thickness ranging from 10 to 100 nm can promote adhesion between a Au thin film deposited on mica and a solution-deposited layer of the elastomer polymethyldisolaxane (PDMS). This molecular adhesion facilitates t... Read More about Fullerenes as adhesive layers for mechanical peeling of metallic, molecular and polymer thin films.

Common Physical Framework Explains Phase Behavior and Dynamics of Atomic, Molecular, and Polymeric Network Formers (2014)
Journal Article

We show that the self-assembly of a diverse collection of building blocks can be understood within a common physical framework. These building blocks, which form periodic honeycomb networks and nonperiodic variants thereof, range in size from atoms t...

The “grave covering” of St Demetrios between Byzantium and Rus (2014)
Journal Article

Much scholarly attention has focused on the role of St Demetrios in the maintenance of the civic identity and cultural independence of Thessalonika, the Byzantine Empire’s second city. Yet Thessalonika did not always win this struggle with Constantin... Read More about The “grave covering” of St Demetrios between Byzantium and Rus.

Effect of Q-switched laser surface texturing of titanium on osteoblast cell response (2014)
Journal Article

Titanium and its alloys are important biomedical materials. It is known that the surface texture of implanted medical devices affects cell response. Control of cell response has the potential to enhance fixation of implants into bone and, in other ap...

Neutron strain scanning of fibre and diode laser welds in stainless steel and Ti6Al4V (2014)
Journal Article

Fibre lasers provide an unprecedented combination of high beam quality, brightness and low cost. Fibre laser beams can provide an exceptionally high power density beam with a relatively large depth of focus. Compared to more established laser welding...

The Helm Wind of Cross Fell (2014)
Journal Article

Crossfell is the highest point along the 268-mile route of the Pennine Way, at 893 metres (Figure 1). The climate of the North Pennines is temperate, with a small area classified as subarctic (Manley, 1936). The hills generally receive more precipita... Read More about The Helm Wind of Cross Fell.

Governing stem cell therapy in India: regulatory vacuum or jurisdictional ambiguity? (2014)
Journal Article

Stem cell treatments are being offered in Indian clinics although preclinical evidence of their efficacy and safety is lacking. This is attributed to a governance vacuum created by the lack of legally binding research guidelines. By contrast, this pa...

Dissociations in the effect of delay on object recognition: evidence for an associative model of recognition memory (2014)
Journal Article

Rats were administered 3 versions of an object recognition task: In the spontaneous object recognition task (SOR) animals discriminated between a familiar object and a novel object; in the temporal order task they discriminated between 2 familiar obj...

Short- and long-term effects of rote rehearsal on ESL learners’ processing of L2 collocations (2014)
Journal Article

Worldwide there is thought to be around 750 million people who speak English as a foreign language (Crystal, 2003, p. 69). For these speakers the difference between make a picture and take a picture may seem arbitrary. However, use of the former is l...
