Preprint / Working Paper
Allwork, L. 'Sedimented Histories' and 'Embodied Legacies': Creating an Evaluative Framework for Engaging the Public in the First World War

This working paper chronicles the development of the construction of a methodological framework for the evaluation of the impact of the Centre for Hidden Histories, one of the AHRC’s First World War Engagement Centres. It will show how through evalu... Read More about 'Sedimented Histories' and 'Embodied Legacies': Creating an Evaluative Framework for Engaging the Public in the First World War.

The development of a clinical interface for a novel newborn resuscitation device; a Human Factors approach to understand cognitive user requirements (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Pickup, L., Lang, A., Shipley, L., Henry, C., Carpenter, J., McCartney, D., …Sharkey, D. The development of a clinical interface for a novel newborn resuscitation device; a Human Factors approach to understand cognitive user requirements

Background:

A novel medical device has been developed to address an unmet need of standardizing and facilitating heart rate recording during neonatal resuscitation. In a time-critical emergency resuscitation, where failure can mean death of an in...

Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging of Excitable Cells (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Howe, C. L., Webb, K. F., Abayzeed, S. A., Anderson, D. J., Denning, C., & Russell, N. A. Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging of Excitable Cells

Surface plasmons are highly sensitive to refractive index variations adjacent to the surface. This sensitivity has been exploited successfully for chemical and biological assays. In these systems, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based sensor detect... Read More about Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging of Excitable Cells.

Gene-Based Analysis in HRC Imputed Genome Wide Association Data Identifies Three Novel Genes For Alzheimer’s Disease (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Baker, E., Sims, R., Leonenko, G., Frizzati, A., Harwood, J., Grozeva, D., …EADI Consortium. Gene-Based Analysis in HRC Imputed Genome Wide Association Data Identifies Three Novel Genes For Alzheimer’s Disease

A novel POLARIS gene-based analysis approach was employed to compute gene-based polygenic risk score (PRS) for all individuals in the latest HRC imputed GERAD (N cases=3332 and N controls=9,832) data using the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Pr...

HST Grism Confirmation of 16 Structures at 1.4<z<2.8 from the Clusters Around Radio-Loud AGN (CARLA) Survey (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Noirot, G., Stern, D., Mei, S., Wylezalek, D., Cooke, E. A., De Breuck, C., …Stanford, S. HST Grism Confirmation of 16 Structures at 1.4

We report spectroscopic results from our 40-orbit Hubble Space Telescope slitless grism spectroscopy program observing the 20 densest CARLA candidate galaxy clusters at 1.4<z<2.8. These candidate rich structures, among the richest and most distant kn...

Holographic optical trapping Raman micro-spectroscopy for interacting live cells (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Sinjab, F., Elsheikha, H. M., Awuah, D., Gibson, G., Padgett, M., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., & Notingher, I. Holographic optical trapping Raman micro-spectroscopy for interacting live cells

We present a combined holographic optical tweezers and confocal Raman spectroscopy instrument which allows fast, flexible, and interactive manipulation with molecular measurement of interacting live cell systems. Multiple laser foci created using a s... Read More about Holographic optical trapping Raman micro-spectroscopy for interacting live cells.

Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Retkute, R., Townsend, A. J., Murchie, E. H., Jensen, O. E., & Preston, S. P. Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies

Background and Aims Diurnal changes in solar position and intensity combined with the structural complexity of plant architecture result in highly variable and dynamic light patterns within the plant canopy. This affects productivity through the comp... Read More about Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies.

Civil service management in developing countries: what works?: evidence from a survey with 23,000 civil servants in Africa, Asia, Eastn Europe and Latin America (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Meyer-Sahling, J.-H., Schuster, C., & Sass Mikkelsen, K. Civil service management in developing countries: what works?: evidence from a survey with 23,000 civil servants in Africa, Asia, Eastn Europe and Latin America

Civil servants are central to effective governance in developing countries. They deliver essential services to citizens, commission infrastructure, regulate economic activity and engage in diplomacy with foreign countries – to name just a few tasks....

Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Almaini, O., Wild, V., Maltby, D. T., Hartley, W. G., Simpson, C., Hatch, N. A., …Rowlands, K. Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids

We investigate the relationship between the quenching of star formation and the structural transformation of massive galaxies, using a large sample of photometrically-selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSS UDS field. We find that post-starbur... Read More about Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids.

China's "Great Migration": the impact of the reduction in trade policy uncertainty (2017)
Preprint / Working Paper
Facchini, G., Liu, M. Y., Mayda, A. M., & Zhou, M. China's "Great Migration": the impact of the reduction in trade policy uncertainty

We analyze the effect of China's integration into the world economy on workers in the country and show that one important channel of impact has been internal migration. Specifically, we study the changes in internal migration rates triggered by the r... Read More about China's "Great Migration": the impact of the reduction in trade policy uncertainty.

Twin Peaks (2017)
Preprint / Working Paper
Defever, F., & Riaño, A. Twin Peaks

Received wisdom suggests that most exporters sell the majority of their output domestically. In this paper, however, we show that the distribution of export intensity not only varies substantially across countries, but in a large number of cases is a... Read More about Twin Peaks.
