Effect of maternal cold exposure and nutrient restriction on insulin-like growth factor sensitivity in adipose tissue of newborn sheep (2007)
Journal Article
Butt, E., Hyatt, M., Budge, H., Symonds, M., & Stephenson, T. (2007). Effect of maternal cold exposure and nutrient restriction on insulin-like growth factor sensitivity in adipose tissue of newborn sheep

Adipose tissue mass in the newborn is determined in part by insulin-like growth factor (IGF)s, which are dependent on the maternal nutritional and metabolic environment during late gestation. The present study was designed to determine whether matern...

Conditional moment closure for chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows (2007)
Journal Article
Vikhansky, A., & Cox, S. M. (2007). Conditional moment closure for chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows. AIChE Journal, 53(1),

We implement conditional moment closure (CMC) for simulation of chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows. The CMC approach predicts the expected concentration of reactive species, conditional upon the concentration of a corresponding nonreactive s...
