How does dense phase CO2 influence the phase behaviour of block copolymers synthesised by dispersion polymerisation? (2015)
Journal Article

Block copolymers synthesised in supercritical CO2 dispersion undergo in situ self-assembly which can result in a range of nanostructured microparticles. However, our previous study revealed that copolymers with different block combinations possessed...

An automated quasi-continuous capillary refill timing device (2015)
Journal Article

Capillary refill time (CRT) is a simple means of cardiovascular assessment which is widely used in clinical care. Currently, CRT is measured through manual assessment of the time taken for skin tone to return to normal colour following blanching of t...

Reionisation and High-Redshift Galaxies: The View from Quasar Absorption Lines (2015)
Journal Article

Determining when and how the first galaxies reionised the intergalactic medium promises to shed light on both the nature of the first objects and the cosmic history of baryons. Towards this goal, quasar absorption lines play a unique role by probing... Read More about Reionisation and High-Redshift Galaxies: The View from Quasar Absorption Lines.

Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer (2015)
Journal Article

We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally-buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating fluid. The vibration of the fluid induces relative motion of the sphe... Read More about Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer.

Seeking support after hospitalisation for injury: a nested qualitative study of the role of primary care (2015)
Journal Article

Background: In the UK, studies suggest that the transition from hospital to home after an injury can be a difficult time and many patients report feeling inadequately prepared. Patients often use primary care services after hospital discharge. These... Read More about Seeking support after hospitalisation for injury: a nested qualitative study of the role of primary care.

RpoS differentially affects the general stress response and biofilm formation in the endophytic Serratia plymuthica G3 (2015)
Journal Article

The ?S subunit RpoS of RNA polymerase functions as a master regulator of the general stress response in Escherichia coli and related bacteria. RpoS has been reported to modulate biocontrol properties in the rhizobacterium Serratia plymuthica IC1270....

Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off (2015)
Journal Article

This paper considers the feasibility of different technologies for an electromagnetic launcher to assist civil aircraft take-off. This method is investigated to reduce the power required from the engines during initial acceleration. Assisted launch h...

An approach to the diagnosis of spindle cell lesions of the breast (2015)
Journal Article

Although most breast spindle cell lesions (BSCLs) are rare, they constitute a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from reactive processes to aggressive malignant tumours. Despite their varied histogenesis and behaviour, some lesions show an overlap of... Read More about An approach to the diagnosis of spindle cell lesions of the breast.

Sixteen new lung function signals identified through 1000 Genomes Project reference panel imputation (2015)
Journal Article

Lung function measures are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In 38,199 European ancestry individuals, we studied genome-wide association of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC...

Disciplinary regimes of ‘care’ and complementary alternative education (2015)
Journal Article

In schools, the notion of ‘care is often synonymous with welfare and disciplinary regimes. Drawing on Foucault, and a study of alternative education across the UK, and looking in depth at two cases of complementary alternative education, we identify...

Methods: We co... Read More about Refining adverse drug reaction signals by incorporating interaction variables identified using emergent pattern mining.

Born from pre-eclamptic pregnancies predisposes infants to altered cortisol metabolism in the first postnatal year (2015)
Journal Article

Pre-eclampsia leads to disturbed fetal organ development, including metabolic syndrome, attributed to altered pituitary-adrenal feedback loop. We measured cortisol metabolites in infants born from pre-eclamptic and normotensive women and hypothesised...

Physisorption controls the conformation and density of states of an adsorbed porphyrin (2015)
Journal Article

Conformational changes caused by adsorption can dramatically affect a molecule’s properties. Despite extensive study, however, the exact mechanisms underpinning conformational switching are often unclear. Here we show that the conformation of a proto...
