As a result, guidance for employers and other key stakehol... Read More about Menopause and work: an overview of UK guidance.

Effect of non-meat, high protein supplementation on quality of life and clinical outcomes for older people living in care homes: systematic review and meta-analysis (2018)
Journal Article

CONTEXT: Care home residents are at risk of malnutrition through reduced overall food intake, ‘anabolic resistance’ in ageing muscle and high prevalence of medical morbidity and functional dependency. There has been limited consensus regarding effect...

Reasserting Agency: Procedural Justice, Victim-Centricity, and the Right to Remedy for Survivors of Slavery and Related Exploitation (2018)
Journal Article

One of the biggest failings of contemporary regimes governing human exploitation is their treatment of ‘victims’. This paper roots narratives of victimhood and agency in the legal frameworks through analysis of the right to effective remedy in human...

Effective metal-insulator nonequilibrium quantum phase transition in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model (2018)
Journal Article

We consider the steady-state behavior of observables in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and in the one-dimensional transverse field quantum Ising model after a sudden quantum quench of the parameter controlling the gap. In the thermodynamic limi... Read More about Effective metal-insulator nonequilibrium quantum phase transition in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

Peer victimization and its impact on adolescent brain development and psychopathology (2018)
Journal Article

Chronic peer victimization has long-term impacts on mental health; however, the biological mediators of this adverse relationship are unknown. We sought to determine whether adolescent brain development is involved in mediating the effect of peer vic...

Plasmodium centrin PbCEN-4 localizes to the putative MTOC and is dispensable for malaria parasite proliferation (2018)
Journal Article

Centrins are calmodulin-like phosphoproteins present in the centrosome and play an active role in the duplication, separation and organization of centrosomal structures such as the microtubule-organizing centre (MTOC) during mitosis. They are also ma... Read More about Plasmodium centrin PbCEN-4 localizes to the putative MTOC and is dispensable for malaria parasite proliferation.

Young adults with chronic kidney disease: an exploration of their relationships and support networks (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Young people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a number of key issues and life changes to manage while also possibly transitioning into adult care. During this time, the nature of their support networks including, social, romantic, f...

Non-equilibrium absorbing state phase transitions in discrete-time quantum cellular automaton dynamics on spin lattices (2018)
Journal Article

We introduce a discrete-time quantum dynamics on a two-dimensional lattice that describes the evolution of a $1+1$-dimensional spin system. The underlying quantum map is constructed such that the reduced state at each time step is separable. We show...

‘Going the extra mile’ for older people with dementia: Exploring the voluntary labour of homecare workers (2018)
Journal Article

Homecare workers provide essential physical, social and emotional support to growing numbers of older people with dementia in the UK. Although it is acknowledged that the work can sometimes be demanding, some homecare workers regularly ‘go the extra...

Plausible petri nets as self-adaptive expert systems: a tool for infrastructure asset monitoring (2018)
Journal Article

This paper provides a computational framework to model self-adaptive expert systems using the Petri net (PN) formalism. Self-adaptive expert systems are understood here as expert systems with the ability to autonomously learn from external inputs, li...

And … action?: gender, knowledge and inequalities in the UK screen industries (2018)
Journal Article

This article explores how a knowledge ecology framework can help us better understand the production of gender knowledge, especially in relation to improving gender equality. Drawing on Law et al. (2011), it analyses what knowledge of gender inequali... Read More about And … action?: gender, knowledge and inequalities in the UK screen industries.

Extreme M-quantiles as risk measures: from L1 to Lp optimization (2018)
Journal Article

The class of quantiles lies at the heart of extreme-value theory and is one of the basic tools in risk management. The alternative family of expectiles is based on squared rather than absolute error loss minimization. It has recently been receiving a...

Household Knights, Chamber Knights and King’s Knights: The Development of the Royal Knight in Fourteenth-Century England (2018)
Journal Article

The fourteenth century witnessed a considerable change in the way in which knights were retained in royal service in England. The system of retaining ‘household knights’, which had been in operation since at least the twelfth century, gave way to a n...

Journal Article

By 1942, a considerable number of the Parisian surrealist group had resettled in the U. S. after having fled the conflict in Europe. Though sometimes regarded as a hiatus in surrealist activities, or in some accounts even the death-knell of Surrealis...
