Supramolecular binding and separation of hydrocarbons within a functionalised porous metal-organic framework (2015)
Journal Article

Supramolecular interactions are fundamental to host-guest binding in chemical and biological processes. Direct visualisation of such supramolecular interactions within host-guest systems is extremely challenging but crucial for the understanding of t...

Pharyngeal electrical stimulation for treatment of poststroke dysphagia: individual patient data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2015)
Journal Article

Background. Dysphagia after stroke is common, associated independently with poor outcome, and has limited treatment options. Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) is a novel treatment being evaluated for treatment of poststroke dysphagia. Methods....

Time-randomized stopping problems for a family of utility functions (2015)
Journal Article

This paper studies stopping problems of the form $V=\inf_{0 \leq \tau \leq T} \mathbb{E}[U(\frac{\max_{0\le s \le T} Z_s }{Z_\tau})]$ for strictly concave or convex utility functions U in a family of increasing functions satisfying certain conditions...

Fast-decodable MIDO codes from non-associative algebras (2015)
Journal Article

By defining a multiplication on a direct sum of n copies of a given cyclic division algebra, we obtain new unital non-associative algebras. We employ their left multiplication to construct rate-n and rate-2 fully diverse fast ML-decodable space-time... Read More about Fast-decodable MIDO codes from non-associative algebras.

[18F]FDG-6-P as a novel in vivo tool for imaging staphylococcal infections (2015)
Journal Article

Background Management of infection is a major clinical problem. Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium which colonises approximately one third of the adult human population. Staphylococcal infections can be life-threatening and are frequ... Read More about [18F]FDG-6-P as a novel in vivo tool for imaging staphylococcal infections.

Challenge clusters facing LCA in environmental decision-making—what we can learn from biofuels (2015)
Journal Article

Purpose Bioenergy is increasingly used to help meet greenhouse gas (GHG) and renewable energy targets. However, bioenergy’s sustainability has been questioned, resulting in increasing use of life cycle assessment (LCA). Bioenergy systems are global a...

A diffusion process associated with Fréchet means (2015)
Journal Article

This paper studies rescaled images, under exp−1μ, of the sample Fréchet means of i.i.d. random variables {Xk|k≥1} with Fréchet mean μ on a Rie-mannian manifold. We show that, with appropriate scaling, these images converge weakly to a diffusion proce... Read More about A diffusion process associated with Fréchet means.
