Protocol-directed insulin infusion sliding scales improve perioperative hyperglycaemia in critical care (2012)
Journal Article

Perioperative hyperglycaemia is associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Frequent postoperative hyperglycaemia in cardiac surgery patients has led to the initiation of an insulin infusion sliding scale for quality improve...

Multiproxy evidence for abrupt climate change impacts on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems in the Ol'khon region of Lake Baikal, central Asia (2012)
Journal Article

A palaeolimnological study of Lake Khall was undertaken to reconstruct impacts from five thousand years of climate change and human activity in the Ol'khon region of Lake Baikal. Taiga biome dominated regional landscapes, although significant composi...

Further results on common zeros of the solutions of two differential equations (2012)
Journal Article

Purpose: Two problems are discussed in this paper. In the first problem, we consider one homogeneous and one non-homogeneous differential equations and study when the solutions of these differential equations can have (nearly) the same zeros. In the... Read More about Further results on common zeros of the solutions of two differential equations.

Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement (2012)
Journal Article

Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement. Methods: This was... Read More about Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement.

Investigating the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as a source of heating (2012)
Conference Proceeding

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as solar energy collectors with copper pipes embedded below the surfaces. Quartzite was investigated as a replacement for limestone aggregate in asphalt for thermal enhancement. Samples...

Dynamics of atom–atom correlations in the Fermi problem (2012)
Journal Article

We present a detailed perturbative study of the dynamics of several types of atom–atom correlations in the famous Fermi problem. This is an archetypal model to study micro-causality in the quantum domain, where two atoms, one initially excited and th... Read More about Dynamics of atom–atom correlations in the Fermi problem.

Influence of the ratio of planktonic to benthic diatoms on lacustrine organic matter ? 13 C from Erlongwan maar lake, northeast China (2012)
Journal Article

Carbon isotope ratio (δ 13 C org ) values of organic matter in lake sediments are commonly used to reconstruct environmental change, but the factors which influence change are varied and complex. Here we report δ 13 C values for sediments from Erlong...

The island–mainland species turnover relationship (2012)
Journal Article

Many oceanic islands are notable for their high endemism, suggesting that islands may promote unique assembly processes. However, mainland assemblages sometimes harbour comparable levels of endemism, suggesting that island biotas may not be as unique...

Calpain-2 expression is associated with response to platinum based chemotherapy, progression-free and overall survival in ovarian cancer (2012)
Journal Article

Ovarian cancer is routinely treated with surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Resistance is a major obstacle in the efficacy of this chemotherapy regimen and the ability to identify those patients at risk of developing resistance is of considera...
