Structural change and cross-country growth empirics (2012)
Journal Article

One of the most striking features of economic growth is the process of structural change whereby the share of agriculture in GDP decreases as countries develop. The cross-country growth literature typically estimates an aggregate homogeneous producti... Read More about Structural change and cross-country growth empirics.

Theoretical basis and practical aspects of small specimen creep testing (2012)
Journal Article

Interest in and the application of small specimen creep test techniques are increasing. This is because it is only possible to obtain small samples of material in some situations, for example, the scoop samples that are removed from in-service compon...

Automatic inference and measurement of 3D carpal bone kinematics from single view fluoroscopic sequences (2012)
Journal Article

We present a novel framework for estimating the 3D poses and shapes of the carpal bones from single view fluoroscopic sequences. A hybrid statistical model representing both the pose and shape variation of the carpal bones is built, based on a number...

Design Equation for Multidielectric Fresnel Zone Plate Lens (2012)
Journal Article

A structural design equation for multidielectric Fresnel zone plate (ZP) lens is outlined in this letter. Based on this equation, multidielectric ZP lenses/lens antennas are studied numerically in the 30-50 GHz microwave band and contrasted to an ord...

Site Saturation Mutagenesis Demonstrates a Central Role for Cysteine 298 as Proton Donor to the Catalytic Site in CaHydA [FeFe]-Hydrogenase (2012)
Journal Article

[FeFe]-hydrogenases reversibly catalyse molecular hydrogen evolution by reduction of two protons. Proton supply to the catalytic site (H-cluster) is essential for enzymatic activity. Cysteine 298 is a highly conserved residue in all [FeFe]-hydrogenas...

Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Changes in the UK electricity market, particularly with the roll out of smart meters, will provide greatly increased opportunities for initiatives intended to change households' electricity usage patterns for the benefit of the overall system. Users... Read More about Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity.

Processing of native and foreign language subtitles in films: an eye tracking study (2012)
Journal Article

Foreign language (FL) films with subtitles are becoming increasingly popular, and many European countries use subtitling as a cheaper alternative to dubbing. However, the extent to which people process subtitles under different subtitling conditions... Read More about Processing of native and foreign language subtitles in films: an eye tracking study.

Patients’ narratives of surgical site infection: implications for practice (2012)
Journal Article

Background Exploring patients' experiences has been used widely within healthcare to improve clinical service delivery. To date there has been minimal patient input of this kind into aspects of surgical site infection (SSI), such as surveillance o...

The Dilemmas of Internationalization: Corporate Social Responsibility in the Multinational Corporation (2012)
Journal Article

We add to the global–local debate by highlighting concerns with the empirical and conceptual validity of the construct 'integrated' as it operates within corporate social responsibility (CSR). We do so by investigating the extent to which foreign nat... Read More about The Dilemmas of Internationalization: Corporate Social Responsibility in the Multinational Corporation.

Service-users’ experiences of an early intervention in psychosis service: an interpretative phenomenological analysis (2012)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVES: Previous research regarding Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services has mainly adopted quantitative methodologies, in order to study the effectiveness of EIP services. Research studies that have explored service-users' experiences...

Space-vector-modulated three-level inverters with a single Z-source network (2012)
Journal Article

The Z-source inverter is a relatively recent converter topology that exhibits both voltage-buck and voltage-boost capability. The Z-source concept can be applied to all dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion whether two-level or...

miR-24 triggers epidermal differentiation by controlling actin adhesion and cell migration (2012)
Journal Article

During keratinocyte differentiation and stratification, cells undergo extensive remodeling of their actin cytoskeleton, which is important to control cell mobility and to coordinate and stabilize adhesive structures necessary for functional epithelia...

Fusarium langsethiae - a HT-2 and T-2 Toxins Producer that Needs More Attention (2012)
Journal Article

Fusarium langsethiae is a toxigenic fungus that was formally described as a new species in 2004. This fungus was first detailed in the 1990s but was initially referred to as 'powdery Fusarium poae' having a spore morphology similar to F. poae but a m...
