Low-frequency analogue Hawking radiation: the Korteweg–de Vries model (2018)
Journal Article

We derive analytic expressions for the low-frequency properties of the analogue Hawking radiation in a general weak-dispersive medium. A thermal low-frequency part of the spectrum is expected even when dispersive effects become significant. We consid...

Low-frequency analogue Hawking radiation: The Bogoliubov-de Gennes model (2018)
Journal Article

We analytically study the low-frequency properties of the analogue Hawking effect in Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that in one-dimensional flows displaying an analogue horizon, the Hawking effect is dominant in the low-frequency regime. This hap...

Uniform magnetic fields in density-functional theory (2018)
Journal Article

We construct a density-functional formalism adapted to uniform external magnetic fields that is intermediate between conventional Density Functional Theory and Current-Density Functional Theory (CDFT). In the intermediate theory, which we term LDFT,... Read More about Uniform magnetic fields in density-functional theory.

HumanMethylation450K array–identified biomarkers predict tumour recurrence/progression at initial diagnosis of high-risk non-muscle Invasive bladder cancer (2018)
Journal Article

Background: High-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) is a clinically unpredictable disease. Despite clinical risk estimation tools, many patients are undertreated with intra-vesical therapies alone, whereas others may be over-treated w...

Mechanism of intersubunit ketosynthase–dehydratase interaction in polyketide synthases (2018)
Journal Article

Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) produce numerous structurally complex natural products with diverse applications in medicine and agriculture. They typically consist of several multienzyme subunits that utilize structurally-defined docking domains...

Regulatory feedback response mechanisms to phosphate starvation in rice (2018)
Journal Article

Phosphorus is a growth-limiting nutrient for plants. The growing scarcity of phosphate stocks threatens global food security. Phosphate-uptake regulation is so complex and incompletely known that attempts to improve phosphorus use efficiency have had...

Effect of wettability on two-phase quasi-static displacement: validation of two pore scale modeling approaches (2018)
Journal Article

Abstract Understanding of pore-scale physics for multiphase flow in porous media is essential for accurate description of various flow phenomena. In particular, capillarity and wettability strongly influence capillary pressure-saturation and relative...

Long-term management of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with dupilumab and concomitant topical corticosteroids (LIBERTY AD CHRONOS): a critical appraisal (2018)
Journal Article

Aim Blauvelt et al. (The Lancet 2017; 389: 2287-303) aimed to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of dupilumab with medium-potency topical corticosteroids (TCS) versus placebo with TCS in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD)...

IL-6 pathway upregulation in subgroup of severe asthma is associated with neutrophilia and poor lung function (2018)
Journal Article

Use of clinical vignette questionnaires to investigate the variation in management of keratoconjunctivitis sicca and acute glaucoma in dogs (2018)
Journal Article

There is little peer-reviewed research assessing therapeutic effectiveness in canine eye disease. Current treatments used in first opinion and ophthalmology referral practices are also somewhat poorly documented. The aim of this study was to investig...

The changing role of fire in conifer-dominated temperate rainforest through the last 14,000 years (2018)
Journal Article

Applied neuroscience in the research of place (2018)
Journal Article

There is a continuous dialogue between the physical environment and the brain's functions. The human constructs the physical environment and subsequently makes physical interventions to it, and this physical environment with its all different attribu...

Considering service animals in tourism (2018)
Journal Article

Accessible tourism is a rapidly growing sector of the tourism industry and increasingly recognized as essential to supporting mobility and leisure as human rights (Buhalis & Darcy, 2001; Buhalis, Darcy, & Ambrose, 2012; McCabe & Diekmann, 2015). This... Read More about Considering service animals in tourism.

PINX1 and TERT are required for TNF-?-induced airway smooth muscle chemokine gene expression (2018)
Journal Article

Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells contribute to asthmatic lung pathology with chemokine hypersecretion and increased ASM cell mass. With little recent progress in the development of asthma therapies, a greater understanding of lung inflammation mechan...

Magnetic field and torque output of packaged hydraulic torque motor (2018)
Journal Article

Hydraulic torque motors are one key component in electro-hydraulic servo valves that convert the electrical signal into mechanical motions. The systematic characteristics analysis of the hydraulic torque motor has not been found in the previous resea... Read More about Magnetic field and torque output of packaged hydraulic torque motor.

Is intuition really cooperative? Improved tests support the social heuristics hypothesis (2018)
Journal Article

Understanding human cooperation is a major scientific challenge. While cooperation is typically explained with reference to individual preferences, a recent cognitive process view hypothesized that cooperation is regulated by socially acquired heuris...

Real-time estimation of horizontal gaze angle by saccade integration using in-ear electrooculography (2018)
Journal Article

The manuscript proposes and evaluates a real-time algorithm for estimating eye gaze angle based solely on single-channel electrooculography (EOG), which can be obtained directly from the ear canal using conductive ear moulds. In contrast to conventio... Read More about Real-time estimation of horizontal gaze angle by saccade integration using in-ear electrooculography.

Optimal healthcare delivery to care homes in the UK: a realist evaluation of what supports effective working to improve healthcare outcomes (2018)
Journal Article

Introduction: care home residents have high healthcare needs not fully met by prevailing healthcare models. This study explored how healthcare configuration influences resource use.

"Live” (stained) benthic foraminiferal living depths, stable isotopes, and taxonomy offshore South Georgia, Southern Ocean: implications for calcification depths (2018)
Journal Article

It is widely held that benthic foraminifera exhibit species-specific calcification depth preferences, with their tests recording sediment pore water chemistry at that depth (i.e. stable isotope and trace metal compositions). This assumed depth habita...
