'This is not what we wanted': designing for conversation with voice interfaces (2018)
Journal Article

Design is increasingly said to be about constructing conversations with end users [1]. Advances in underlying voice-related [2] technologies, coupled with the spread of voice-driven agents and dedicated devices such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, a...

Infestation by Myzus persicae increases susceptibility of Brassica napus cv. “Canard” to Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 (2018)
Journal Article

Activation of plant defense pathways can be influenced by the presence of different species of attacking organisms. Understanding the complicated interactions triggering plant defense mechanisms is of great interest as it may allow the development of...

Background and Purpose: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) have been observed using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, cognitive deterioration, small vessel disease, and dementia. They are a well-known consequence of ce... Read More about Perioperative cerebral microbleeds after adult cardiac surgery.

Resilience orchestration and resilience facilitation: how government can orchestrate the whole UK ports market with limited resources: the case of UK ports resilience (2018)
Journal Article

Government departments have limited resources but they are responsible for the healthy functioning of whole markets. This tension is amplified by the opportunities to generate, share and use information from new data sources and digital technologies....

Spectacle and adventure philanthropy (2018)
Journal Article

While humanitarian tourism is increasingly examined from critical theory perspectives (see Ingram, 2011; Mostafanezhad, 2013, 2104; Simpson, 2004), less attention has been given to the role of media and spectacle in the enactment of this type of tour...

Oxygen-dependent proteolysis regulates the stability of angiosperm polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit VERNALIZATION2 (2018)
Journal Article

The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) regulates epigenetic gene repression in eukaryotes. Mechanisms controlling its developmental specificity and signal-responsiveness are poorly understood. Here, we identify an oxygen-sensitive N-terminal (N-) d... Read More about Oxygen-dependent proteolysis regulates the stability of angiosperm polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit VERNALIZATION2.

Roots branch towards water by post-translational modification of transcription factor ARF7 (2018)
Journal Article

Plants adapt to heterogeneous soil conditions by altering their root architecture. For example, roots branch when in contact with water using the hydropatterning response. We report that hydropatterning is dependent on auxin response factor ARF7. Thi... Read More about Roots branch towards water by post-translational modification of transcription factor ARF7.

Resolution enhancement for topography measurement of high-dynamic-range surfaces via image fusion (2018)
Journal Article

In this paper, we introduce a method and algorithm for resolution enhancement of low-resolution surface topography data by fusing it with corresponding high-resolution intensity images. This fusion is carried out by linking the three-dimensional topo... Read More about Resolution enhancement for topography measurement of high-dynamic-range surfaces via image fusion.

Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings (2018)
Journal Article

Tunnels are constructed increasingly close to existing buried structures, including pile foundations. This poses a serious concern, especially for tunnels built beneath piles. Current understanding of the global tunnel-soil-pile-building interaction... Read More about Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings.

All the protestors fit to count: using geospatial affordances to estimate protest event size (2018)
Journal Article

Protest events are a hallmark of social movement tactics. Large crowds in public spaces send a clear message to those in authority. Consequently, estimating crowd size is important for clarifying how much support a particular movement has been able t...

Artificial Intelligence Aided Automated Design for Reliability of Power Electronic Systems (2018)
Journal Article

© 1986-2012 IEEE. This paper proposes a new methodology for automated design of power electronic systems realized through the use of artificial intelligence. Existing approaches do not consider the system's reliability as a performance metric or are...

Mammalian cell-driven polymerisation of pyrrole (2018)
Journal Article

A model cancer cell line was used to initiate polymerisation of pyrrole to form the conducting material polypyrrole. The polymerisation was shown to occur via cytosolic exudates rather than via membrane redox sites which normally control the oxidatio...

Metal–organic frameworks constructed from Group 1 metals (Li, Na) and silicon-centered linkers (2018)
Journal Article

A series of “light metal” metal–organic frameworks containing secondary building units (SBUs) based on Li+ and Na+ cations have been prepared using the silicon-centered linkers MexSi(p-C6H4CO2H)4-x (x = 2, 1, 0). The unipositive charge, small size, a... Read More about Metal–organic frameworks constructed from Group 1 metals (Li, Na) and silicon-centered linkers.

The benefits of international volunteering in a low-resource setting: development of a core outcome set (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Qualitative narrative analysis and case studies form the majority of the current peer-reviewed literature about the benefits of professional volunteering or international placements for healthcare professionals. These often describe gener... Read More about The benefits of international volunteering in a low-resource setting: development of a core outcome set.

Tensions within the Ministry of Provenance: reflections on co-creating a research game together with artists (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Research games are challenging to design as they seek to fulfil a research agenda as well as work as a game. We have successfully collaborated with a group of artists in a research game about people’s perception of provenance called The A...

Local asymptotic equivalence of pure states ensembles and quantum Gaussian white noise (2018)
Journal Article

Quantum technology is increasingly relying on specialised statistical inference methods for analysing quantum measurement data. This motivates the development of “quantum statistics”, a field that is shaping up at the overlap of quantum physics and “...

Healthcare utilisation, morbidities and alcohol use monitoring prior to alcoholic psychosis diagnosis (2018)
Journal Article

Aims: This study aimed to describe healthcare utilisation, morbidities and monitoring of alcohol use in patients prior to a diagnosis of alcoholic psychosis in order to inform the early identification of patients at risk. Method: Using linked gene... Read More about Healthcare utilisation, morbidities and alcohol use monitoring prior to alcoholic psychosis diagnosis.

Testing explosive bubbles with time-varying volatility (2018)
Journal Article

This paper considers the problem of testing for an explosive bubble in financial data in the presence of time-varying volatility. We propose a weighted least squares-based variant of the Phillips, Wu and Yu (2011) test for explosive autoregressive be... Read More about Testing explosive bubbles with time-varying volatility.

Cell death pathologies: targeting death pathways and the immune system for cancer therapy (2018)
Journal Article

Alterations in the molecular mechanisms of cell death are a common feature of cancer. These alterations enable malignant cells to survive intrinsic death signalling leading to accumulation of genetic aberrations and helping them to cope with adverse...
