Comparing stochastic differential equations and agent-based modelling and simulation for early-stage cancer (2014)
Journal Article

There is great potential to be explored regarding the use of agent-based modelling and simulation as an alternative paradigm to investigate early-stage cancer interactions with the immune system. It does not suffer from some limitations of ordinary d... Read More about Comparing stochastic differential equations and agent-based modelling and simulation for early-stage cancer.

Risk and protective factors for falls from furniture in young children: multicenter case-control study (2014)
Journal Article

Importance: Falls from furniture are common in young children but there is little evidence on protective factors for these falls. Objective: To estimate associations for risk and protective factors for falls from furniture in children aged 0 to 4...

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.

A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica (2014)
Journal Article

The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with...

Spatial memory: behavioural determinants of persistence in the watermaze delayed matching-to-place task (2014)
Journal Article

The watermaze delayed matching-to-place (DMP) task was modified to include probe trials, to quantify search preference for the correct place. Using a zone-analysis of search-preference, a gradual decay of one-trial memory in rats was observed over 24...

The STAT3-Ser/Hes3 signaling axis in cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Disrupting the regenerative capacity of tumorigenic cells is a major focus in medicine. These regenerative properties are carried by a subpopulation of cells within the tumor, termed cancer stem cells. Current therapies don't effectively tackle the d...

Transient transcriptional events in human skeletal muscle at the outset of concentric resistance exercise training (2014)
Journal Article

We sought to ascertain the time course of transcriptional events that occur in human skeletal muscle at the outset of resistance exercise (RE) training in RE naive individuals and determine whether the magnitude of response was associated with exerci...

On the use of verlan to subtitle African American Vernacular English into French: transnational hybridity (2014)
Journal Article

The polysemiotic nature of subtitled films, whereby textual information (the subtitles) is combined with other audiovisual cues (the pictures and the soundtrack of the film) makes them very vulnerable as a form of translation, as well as a peculiar o...

One swallow doesn’t make a summer: reply to Kataria (2014)
Journal Article

In this paper we reply to Mitesh Kataria’s comment, which criticized the simulations of Maniadis, Tufano, and List (2014, Am. Econ. Rev.104(1), 277-290). We view these simulations as a means to illustrating the fact that we economists are unaware of... Read More about One swallow doesn’t make a summer: reply to Kataria.

Pressure ulcer stages among bed-ridden patients in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria- Nigeria (2014)
Journal Article

This study was carried out to assesspressure ulcer stages among bed-ridden patients in Medical, Neurosurgical and Orthopaedic wards inAhmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Shika-Zaria. The main aim of this study is to determine the preval... Read More about Pressure ulcer stages among bed-ridden patients in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria- Nigeria.

Use of short-tandem repeat (STR) fingerprinting to validate sample origins in hepatitis C virus molecular epidemiology studies (2014)
Journal Article

Sequence analysis is used to define the molecular epidemiology and evolution of the hepatitis C virus. Whilst most studies have shown that individual patients harbour viruses that are derived from a limited number of highly related strains, some rece...

Bayesian evaluation of budgets for endemic disease control: an example using management changes to reduce milksomatic cell count early in the first lactation of Irish dairy cows (2014)
Journal Article

The aim of this research was to determine budgets for specific management interventions to control heifer mastitis in Irish dairy herds as an example of evidence synthesis and 1-step Bayesian micro-simulation in a veterinary context. Budgets were det...
