Estimating the quadratic covariation matrix for asynchronously observed high frequency stock returns corrupted by additive measurement error (2015)
Journal Article

This paper studies the estimation problem of the covariance matrices of asset returns in the presence of microstructure noise and asynchronicity between the observations across different assets. Motivated by Malliavin and Mancino (2002, 2009) we prop...

The physiology of adventitious roots (2015)
Journal Article

Adventitious roots are plant roots that form from any nonroot tissue and are produced both during normal development (crown roots on cereals and nodal roots on strawberry [Fragaria spp.]) and in response to stress conditions, such as flooding, nutrie...

Short and long-term interest rates and the effectiveness of monetary and macroprudential policies (2015)
Journal Article

In this paper, I analyze the ability of monetary and macroprudential policies to stabilize both the macroeconomy and financial markets under two different scenarios: short and long-term rates. I develop and solve a New Keynesian dynamic stochastic ge... Read More about Short and long-term interest rates and the effectiveness of monetary and macroprudential policies.

In-situ polymerisation of fully bioresorbable polycaprolactone/phosphate glass fibre composites: In vitro degradation and mechanical properties (2015)
Journal Article

Fully bioresorbable composites have been investigated in order to replace metal implant plates used for hard tissue repair.

Oral vaccination with a rough attenuated mutant of S. Infantis increases post-wean weight gain and prevents clinical signs of salmonellosis in S. Typhimurium challenged pigs (2015)
Journal Article

We show that oral inoculation of 14 day old conventional piglets with a rough attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis 1326/28?r (serogroup C1), 24 h prior to oral challenge with S. enterica serovar Typhimurium 4/74 (serogroup B), resulted in...

The environmental setting of Epipalaeolithic aggregation site Kharaneh IV (2015)
Journal Article

The archaeological site of Kharaneh IV in Jordan’s Azraq Basin, and its relatively near neighbour Jilat 6 show evidence of sustained occupation of substantial size through the Early to Middle Epipalaeolithic (c. 24,000 – 15,000 cal BP). Here we revie... Read More about The environmental setting of Epipalaeolithic aggregation site Kharaneh IV.

Effects of long-term inorganic and organic fertilizations on the soil micro and macro structures of rice paddies (2015)
Journal Article

The soil structure of paddy soil is very dynamic from the aggregate to the pedon scale because of intensive anthropogenic management strategies. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that long-term inorganic and organic fertilizations can affect so...

Tensor products of nonassociative cyclic algebras (2015)
Journal Article

We study the tensor product of an associative and a nonassociative cyclic algebra. The condition for the tensor product to be a division algebra equals the classical one for the tensor product of two associative cyclic algebras by Albert or Jacobson,...

Investigating preventive-medicine consultations in first-opinion small-animal practice in the United Kingdom using direct observation (2015)
Journal Article

Preventive-medicine consultations account for a large proportion of the veterinary caseload and previous research has suggested these consultations are fundamentally different from those in which the animal is presented for a specific health problem....

Active DC-link capacitor harmonic current reduction in two-level back-to-back converter (2015)
Journal Article

The paper proposes a method of active switching harmonics current reduction in the DC-link capacitor of a two-level, three-phase, back-to-back converter. Based on the derived analytical solution for switching harmonic currents in the DC-link, it is s...
