Orthogonal invariant sets of the diffusion tensor and the development of a curvilinear set suitable for low-anisotropy tissues (2013)
Journal Article
Damion, R. A., Radjenovic, A., Ingham, E., Jin, Z., & Ries, M. E. (2013). Orthogonal invariant sets of the diffusion tensor and the development of a curvilinear set suitable for low-anisotropy tissues. PLoS ONE, 8(11), Article e78798. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0078798

We develop a curvilinear invariant set of the diffusion tensor which may be applied to Diffusion Tensor Imaging measurements on tissues and porous media. This new set is an alternative to the more common invariants such as fractional anisotropy and t...

Tinnitus is a prevalent experience and, for those who are troubled by it, it can be debilitating. Risk factors include hearing loss, ototoxic medication, head injury and depression, and at presentation the possibility of otologic disease and of anx... Read More about Tinnitus.

Moving the goal posts: enhancing the sensitivity of PARASHIFT proton magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (2013)
Journal Article
Harvey, P., Blamire, A. M., Wilson, J. I., Finney, K. N. A., Funk, A. M., Senanayake, P. K., & Parker, D. (2013). Moving the goal posts: enhancing the sensitivity of PARASHIFT proton magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Chemical Science, 4(11), 4251-4258. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3sc51526e

Paramagnetic probes for chemical shift imaging are described, in which a reporting tert-butyl resonance is integrated and placed about 6 to 6.5 Å from a lanthanide ion. At this distance, the resonance is shifted to a region of the 1H NMR spectral win...

Tobacco smoking and disability progression in multiple sclerosis: United Kingdom cohort study (2013)
Journal Article
Manouchehrinia, A., Tench, C. R., Maxted, J., Bibani, R. H., Britton, J., & Constantinescu, C. S. (2013). Tobacco smoking and disability progression in multiple sclerosis: United Kingdom cohort study. Brain, 136(7), https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awt139

Tobacco smoking has been linked to an increased risk of multiple sclerosis. However, to date, results from the few studies on the impact of smoking on the progression of disability are conflicting. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects... Read More about Tobacco smoking and disability progression in multiple sclerosis: United Kingdom cohort study.

Paramagnetic Probes for Magnetic Resonance (2013)
Thesis
Harvey, P. Paramagnetic Probes for Magnetic Resonance. (Thesis). Durham University. Retrieved from https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2829768

Novel paramagnetic lanthanide complexes have been synthesised for use as probes for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Initially, complexes containing a trifluoromethyl group were examined for 19F MRI/S, due to the large chemical shift rang... Read More about Paramagnetic Probes for Magnetic Resonance.

Is Overshoot Caused by an Efferent Reduction in Cochlear Gain? (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Fletcher, M., de Boer, J., & Krumbholz, K. (2013). Is Overshoot Caused by an Efferent Reduction in Cochlear Gain?. In Basic Aspects of Hearing: Physiology and Perception (65-72). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-1590-9_8

Under certain conditions, detection of a masked tone is improved by a preceding sound ("precursor"). This phenomenon is referred to as the "temporal effect" or "overshoot". A prevalent model of overshoot, referred to as the "gain reduction model", po... Read More about Is Overshoot Caused by an Efferent Reduction in Cochlear Gain?.
