An investigation into the geometric parameters affecting field uniformity in four pole magnetisers (2015)
Journal Article

In recent years, the field-metric method for measuring the joule losses set up in an electrical steel laminate when subjected to a rotating field has gained popularity. The ideal geometry of the magnetiser required to set up such a field is still how...

Effect of head pitch and roll orientations on magnetically induced vertigo (2015)
Journal Article

High strength static magnetic fields are known to induce vertigo, believed to be via stimulation of the vestibular system. The leading hypothesis (Lorentz forces) predicts that the induced vertigo should depend on the orientation of the magnetic fiel...

An investigation on thermoelastic damping of high-Q ring resonators (2015)
Journal Article

For applications requiring high performance angular rate measurements it is important to be able to design MEMS rate sensors with high quality factors (Q). This paper considers ring resonator based rate sensors and investigates the influence of desig... Read More about An investigation on thermoelastic damping of high-Q ring resonators.

Leaching as a pretreatment process to complement torrefaction in improving co-firing characteristics of Jatropha curcas seed cake (2015)
Journal Article

The presence of certain inorganic elements in biomass causes issues such as slagging, fouling and corrosion when co-firing with coal for power generation. In this work, the efficacy of leaching to remove these elements from Jatropha curcas seed cake... Read More about Leaching as a pretreatment process to complement torrefaction in improving co-firing characteristics of Jatropha curcas seed cake.

Citrullinated vimentin presented on MHC-II in tumor cells is a target for CD4+ T-cell-mediated antitumor immunity (2015)
Journal Article

Stressful conditions in the harsh tumor microenvironment induce autophagy in cancer cells as a mechanism to promote their survival. However, autophagy also causes post-translational modification of proteins that are recognized by the immune system. I...

Systematic review of randomised controlled trials of interventions that aim to reduce the risk, either directly or indirectly, of overweight and obesity in infancy and early childhood (2015)
Journal Article

The risk factors for childhood overweight and obesity are known and can be identified antenatally or during infancy, however, the majority of effective interventions are designed for older children. This review identified interventions designed to re...

Stocks and flows of natural and human-derived capital in ecosystem services (2015)
Journal Article

There is growing interest in the role that natural capital plays in underpinning ecosystem services. Yet, there remain differences and inconsistencies in the conceptualisation of capital and ecosystem services and the role that humans play in their d...

Alcohol-attributable healthcare attendances up to 10 years prior to diagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis: a population based case-control study (2015)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cirrhosis because of alcohol could be avoided if drinking behaviour could be altered earlier in the disease course. Our aim was to quantify the burden of morbidities in patients prior to alcoholic cirrhosis diagnosis, as this may...

Screening exons 16 and 17 of the amyloid precursor protein gene in sporadic early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (2015)
Journal Article

Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) can be familial (FAD) or sporadic (sEOAD); both have a disease onset ≤ 65 years of age. 451 sEOAD samples were screened for known causative mutations in exon 16 and 17 of the Amyloid Precursor Protein gene (APP)...

Building bridges: towards an alternative theory of sustainable supply chain management (2015)
Journal Article

We contend that the development of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) theory has been impaired by a lack of paradigmatic diversity in the field. The contested nature of the concept of sustainability has been repressed in SSCM theory, which ha...

Cue Combination of Conflicting Color and Luminance Edges (2015)
Journal Article

Abrupt changes in the color or luminance of a visual image potentially indicate object boundaries. Here, we consider how these cues to the visual “edge” location are combined when they conflict. We measured the extent to which localization of a compo... Read More about Cue Combination of Conflicting Color and Luminance Edges.
