The virtues of idleness: a decidable fragment of resource agent logic (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors Alternating Time Temporal Logic (ATL) is widely used for the verification of multi-agent systems. We consider Resource Agent Logic (RAL), which extends ATL to allow the verification of properties of systems where agents act under r...

Experimental measurements of water molecule binding energies for the second and third solvation shells of [Ca(H?O)n]2+ complexes (2017)
Journal Article

Further understanding of the biological role of the Ca2+ ion in an aqueous environment requires quantitative measurements of both the short and long range interactions experienced by the ion in an aqueous medium. Here we present experimental measurem... Read More about Experimental measurements of water molecule binding energies for the second and third solvation shells of [Ca(H?O)n]2+ complexes.

An impedance boundary condition EFIE that is low-frequency and refinement stable (2017)
Journal Article

A discretization of the impedance boundary condition electric field integral equation (IBC-EFIE) is introduced that: 1) yields the correct solution at arbitrarily small frequencies and 2) requires for its solution a number of matrix vector products b...

Journal Article

Background Hepatorenal syndrome type 1 (HRS1) is a functional, rapidly progressive, potentially reversible form of acute kidney injury occurring in patients with cirrhosis. Characterised by intense renal arterial vasoconstriction, it carries a ver... Read More about Systematic review with meta-analysis: vasoactive drugs for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome type 1.

Social media in health science education: an international survey (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Social media is an asset that higher education students can use for an array of purposes. Studies have shown the merits of social media use in educational settings; however, its adoption in health science education has been slow, and the...

Electrohydrodynamic printing as a method to micropattern large titanium implant surfaces with photocrosslinkable structures (2017)
Journal Article

Metallic implants are widely used in orthopaedic and orthodontic applications. However, generally surface treatment of the metallic surfaces is necessary to render them more biologically active. Herein, we describe a direct write printing method to m...

Vector control of an open-ended winding induction machine based on a two-output indirect matrix converter (2017)
Journal Article

The open-ended winding induction machine fed from a standard two-level Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) arrangement is an attractive solution for AC drives. An alternative power converter approach is to use an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC) consisting...

How best to engage users of forensic services in research: literature review and recommendations (2017)
Journal Article

Guidance on service user involvement is available to help researchers working with people with mental health problems, but there is currently no comprehensive guidance relating to forensic settings where additional issues arise. This rapid review aim... Read More about How best to engage users of forensic services in research: literature review and recommendations.

Genome-wide association scan of neuropathic pain symptoms post total joint replacement highlights a variant in the protein-kinase C gene (2017)
Journal Article

Neuropathic pain-like joint symptoms (NP) are seen in a proportion of individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) and post total joint replacement (TJR). In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using NP as defined by the...

Using mixed objects in the training of object-based image classifications (2017)
Journal Article

Image classification for thematic mapping is a very common application in remote sensing, which is sometimes realized through object-based image analysis. In these analyses, it is common for some of the objects to be mixed in their class composition... Read More about Using mixed objects in the training of object-based image classifications.

Consistent nonparametric specification tests for stochastic volatility models based on the return distribution (2017)
Journal Article

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd This paper develops nonparametric specification tests for stochastic volatility models by comparing the nonparametically estimated return density and distribution functions with their parametric counterparts. Asymptotic null distr... Read More about Consistent nonparametric specification tests for stochastic volatility models based on the return distribution.

Cost-effectiveness of structured group psychoeducation versus unstructured group support for bipolar disorder: results from a multi-centre pragmatic randomised controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article

Background Bipolar disorder (BD) costs the English economy an estimated £5.2billion/year, largely through incomplete recovery. This analysis estimated the cost-effectiveness of group psychoeducation (PEd), versus group peer support (PS), for treating...

Cross‐scale intercomparison of climate change impacts simulated by regional and global hydrological models in eleven large river basins (2017)
Journal Article

Ideally, the results from models operating at different scales should agree in trend direction and magnitude of impacts under climate change. However, this implies that the sensitivity to climate variability and climate change is comparable for impac...
