Lickometry: a novel and sensitive method for assessing functional deficits in rats after stroke (2017)
Journal Article

The need for sensitive, easy to administer assessments of long-term functional deficits is crucial in pre-clinical stroke research. In the present study, we introduce lickometry (lick microstructure analysis) as a precise method to assess sensorimoto...

Murine systemic thrombophilia and hemolytic uremic syndrome from a factor H point mutation (2017)
Journal Article

Complement plays a key role in host defense, but its dysregulation can cause autologous tissue injury. Complement activation is normally controlled by regulatory proteins, including factor H (FH) in plasma and membrane cofactor protein (MCP) on the c...

Controlling DC permeability in cast steels (2017)
Journal Article

Annealing (at multiple cooling rates) and quenching (with tempering) was performed on specimens of cast steel of varying composition. The aim was to devise a method for selecting the steel with the highest permeability, from any given range of steels... Read More about Controlling DC permeability in cast steels.

Information asymmetries in the hiring process and the risk of new leader dismissal: insights from English premier league soccer organizations (2017)
Journal Article

Why are some new leaders dismissed quicker than others? Adopting agency theory logic we examine how different succession contexts shape boards’ information asymmetries about a potential candidate’s competencies in the hiring process, which influences...

Unintentional boron incorporation in AlGaN layers grown by plasma-assisted MBE using highly efficient nitrogen RF plasma-sources (2017)
Journal Article

Plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) is now widely used for the growth of group III-nitrides. Many years ago it became clear that during PA-MBE there is unintentional doping of GaN with boron (B) due to decomposition of the pyrolytic boron...

Test–retest reliability of brain morphology estimates (2017)
Journal Article

Metrics of brain morphology are increasingly being used to examine inter-individual differences, making it important to evaluate the reliability of these structural measures. Here we used two open-access datasets to assess the intersession reliabilit... Read More about Test–retest reliability of brain morphology estimates.

Analysis of the daylight performance of a glazing system with Parallel Slat Transparent Insulation Material (PS-TIM) (2017)
Journal Article

Daylight plays an important role in the energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality of an office building. An innovative façade system where parallel transparent/translucent plastic slats are sandwiched between glass panes to form a Parallel S...

Controlling venetian blinds based on parametric design; via implementing Grasshopper’s plugins: a case study of an office building in Cairo (2017)
Journal Article

Venetian blinds are common type of shading devices and are increasingly operated automatically to overcome the limitations of using manual operation. Automated blinds need to be controlled to maximize benefits of daylight on the aspects of redirectin...

Spin-orbit torques in locally and globally non-centrosymmetric crystals: antiferromagnets and ferromagnets (2017)
Journal Article

One of the main obstacles that prevents practical applications of antiferromagnets is the dfficulty of manipulating the magnetic order parameter. Recently, following the theoretical prediction [J. Železný et al., PRL 113, 157201 (2014)], the electric... Read More about Spin-orbit torques in locally and globally non-centrosymmetric crystals: antiferromagnets and ferromagnets.

Continued 26S proteasome dysfunction in mouse brain cortical neurons impairs autophagy and the Keap1-Nrf2 oxidative defence pathway (2017)
Journal Article

The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) and macroautophagy (autophagy) are central to normal proteostasis and interdependent in that autophagy is known to compensate for the UPS to alleviate ensuing proteotoxic stress that impairs cell function. UPS an... Read More about Continued 26S proteasome dysfunction in mouse brain cortical neurons impairs autophagy and the Keap1-Nrf2 oxidative defence pathway.
