Loss mechanisms in high efficiency polymer solar cells (2015)
Journal Article

Performance losses and aging mechanisms are investigated in state‐of‐the‐art PTB7:PC70BM solar cells. Inverted devices incorporating a vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) top contact have efficiencies of 8%. After aging the unencapsulated devices, no changes a... Read More about Loss mechanisms in high efficiency polymer solar cells.

Wallerian degeneration is executed by an NMN-SARM1-dependent late Ca(2+) influx but only modestly influenced by mitochondria (2015)
Journal Article

Axon injury leads to rapid depletion of NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT2 and high levels of its substrate, NMN. We proposed a key role for NMN in Wallerian degeneration but downstream events and their relationship to other mediators remain unclear. Her...

Excess maternal salt or fructose intake programmes sex-specific, stress- and fructose-sensitive hypertension in the offspring (2015)
Journal Article

© Copyright 2015 The Authors. The Western diet is typically high in salt and fructose, which have pressor activity. Maternal diet can affect offspring blood pressure, but the extent to which maternal intake of excess salt and fructose may influence c...

The effect of paratuberculosis on milk yield—a systematic review and meta-analysis (2015)
Journal Article

Bovine paratuberculosis is a disease characterized by chronic granulomatous enteritis causing protein-losing enteropathy. Adverse effects on animal productivity are key drivers in the attempt to control paratuberculosis at the farm level. Economic mo...

Aim: To investigate risk and protective factors for stair falls in children aged

Constraining the temperature–density relation of the intergalactic medium with the Lyman α and β forests (2015)
Journal Article

The post-reionization thermal state of the intergalactic medium is characterized by a power-law relationship between temperature and density, with a slope determined by the parameter ?. We describe a new method to measure ? using the ratio of flux cu... Read More about Constraining the temperature–density relation of the intergalactic medium with the Lyman α and β forests.

Turnaround and failure: resource weaknesses and the rise and fall of Jarvis (2015)
Journal Article

Research employing the resource-based view (RBV) has overwhelming focused on the upside of resources, namely those that provide benefit to the firm. However, an emerging research stream suggests that the downside of resources, namely resource weaknes... Read More about Turnaround and failure: resource weaknesses and the rise and fall of Jarvis.

The provision of NHS health checks in a community setting: an ethnographic account (2015)
Journal Article

Background: The UK National Health Service Health Checks programme aims to reduce avoidable cardiovascular deaths, disability and health inequalities in England. However, due to the reported lower uptake of screening in specific black and minority et... Read More about The provision of NHS health checks in a community setting: an ethnographic account.

Cycling infrastructure for reducing cycling injuries in cyclists (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Cycling is an attractive form of transport. It is beneficial to the individual as a form of physical activity that may fit more readily into an individual’s daily routine, such as for cycling to work and to the shops, than other physical...

Urine tests for Down's syndrome screening (2015)
Journal Article

Background Down's syndrome occurs when a person has three copies of chromosome 21, or the specific area of chromosome 21 implicated in causing Down's syndrome, rather than two. It is the commonest congenital cause of mental disability and also lea... Read More about Urine tests for Down's syndrome screening.

Effect of aggregate gradation on the stiffness of asphalt mixtures (2015)
Journal Article

Aggregate gradation plays an important role in the behaviour of asphalt mixtures. Packing of aggregate is a very important factor that will be affected by changing the aggregate gradation. Many researchers have investigated different ways of describi... Read More about Effect of aggregate gradation on the stiffness of asphalt mixtures.
