Impact of rapid-hardening cements on mechanical properties of cement bitumen emulsion asphalt (2015)
Journal Article
Cement bitumen emulsion asphalt (CBEA) is obtained by mixing bitumen emulsion, cement, aggregates and filler at ambient temperature. CBEA is thought to be a promising substitute for hot mix asphalt because of its low environmental impact and cost-eff...

Formal asymptotic limit of a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model (2015)
Journal Article
We consider a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model which has the form of a phase-field system. We characterize the singular limit of this problem. More precisely, we formally prove that as the coefficient of the reaction term tends to infinity, the s... Read More about Formal asymptotic limit of a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model.
Artificial tektites: an experimental technique for capturing the shapes of spinning drops (2015)
Journal Article
Determining the shapes of a rotating liquid droplet bound by surface tension is an archetypal problem in the study of the equilibrium shapes of a spinning and charged droplet, a problem that unites models of the stability of the atomic nucleus with t...

© 2015 Cooper, Spiteri and Mirams. Chaste is an open-source C++ library for computational biology that has well-developed cardiac electrophysiology tissue simulation support. In this paper, we introduce the features available for performing cardiac e... Read More about Cellular cardiac electrophysiology modeling with Chaste and CellML.
Habitat image annotation with low-level features, medium-level knowledge and location information (2015)
Journal Article
The classification of habitats is crucial for structuring knowledge and developing our understanding of the natural world. Currently, most successful methods employ human surveyors—a laborious, expensive and subjective process. In this paper, we form...

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase regulates the cold stress response by slowing translation elongation (2015)
Journal Article
Cells respond to external stress conditions by controlling gene expression, a process which occurs rapidly via post-transcriptional regulation at the level of protein synthesis. Global control of translation is mediated by modification of translation... Read More about Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase regulates the cold stress response by slowing translation elongation.
A new framework for cortico-striatal plasticity: behavioural theory meets In vitro data at the reinforcement-action interface (2015)
Journal Article
Operant learning requires that reinforcement signals interact with action representations at a suitable neural interface. Much evidence suggests that this occurs when phasic dopamine, acting as a reinforcement prediction error, gates plasticity at co...

Performance of T-stub to CFT joints using blind bolts with headed anchors (2015)
Journal Article
This paper assesses the performance of a newly developed blind bolt, intended for use in constructing bolted moment-resisting connections to concrete-filled tubular steel profiles. A total of ten connection tests are reported, with each configuration... Read More about Performance of T-stub to CFT joints using blind bolts with headed anchors.
Adrenomedullary progenitor cells: isolation and characterization of a multi-potent progenitor cell population (2015)
Journal Article
The adrenal is a highly plastic organ with the ability to adjust to physiological needs by adapting hormone production but also by generating and regenerating both adrenocortical and adrenomedullary tissue. It is now apparent that many adult tissues... Read More about Adrenomedullary progenitor cells: isolation and characterization of a multi-potent progenitor cell population.
Rehabilitation of memory following brain injury (ReMemBrIn): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (2015)
Journal Article
Background Impairments of memory are commonly reported by people with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Such deficits are persistent, debilitating, and can severely impact quality of life. Currently, many do not routinely receive follow-up appointment... Read More about Rehabilitation of memory following brain injury (ReMemBrIn): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Photic zone changes in the north-west Pacific Ocean from MIS 4–5e (2015)
Journal Article
In comparison to other sectors of the marine system, the palaeoceanography of the subarctic North Pacific Ocean is poorly constrained. New diatom isotope records of ?13C, ?18O ?30Si (?13Cdiatom, ?18Odiatom and ?30Sidiatom) are presented alongside exi...

Investigating common clinical presentations in first opinion small animal consultations using direct observation (2015)
Journal Article
Understanding more about the clinical presentations encountered in veterinary practice is vital in directing research towards areas relevant to practitioners. The aim of this study was to describe all problems discussed during a convenience sample of...

Bayesian assessment of an existing bridge - a case study (2015)
Journal Article
This article presents a case study involving the assessment of an existing bridge, starting with simple methods and ending with a probabilistic analysis, the latter emphasising Bayesian methods. When assessing an existing bridge, it is common practic... Read More about Bayesian assessment of an existing bridge - a case study.
Normalisation of brain connectivity through compensatory behaviour, despite congenital hand absence (2015)
Journal Article
Previously we showed, using task-evoked fMRI, that compensatory intact hand usage after amputation facilitates remapping of limb representations in the cortical territory of the missing hand (Makin et al., 2013a). Here we show that compensatory arm u... Read More about Normalisation of brain connectivity through compensatory behaviour, despite congenital hand absence.
Palladium nanoparticles in catalytic carbon nanoreactors: the effect of confinement on Suzuki-Miyaura reactions (2015)
Journal Article
We explore the construction and performance of a range of catalytic nanoreactors based on palladium nanoparticles encapsulated in hollow graphitised nanofibres. The optimum catalytic material, with small palladium nanoparticles located almost exclusi...
