Piecewise Approximate Bayesian Computation: fast inference for discretely observed Markov models using a factorised posterior distribution (2013)
Journal Article

© 2013, The Author(s). Many modern statistical applications involve inference for complicated stochastic models for which the likelihood function is difficult or even impossible to calculate, and hence conventional likelihood-based inferential techni...

Discrete element modelling of one-dimensional compression of cemented sand (2013)
Journal Article

It has recently been shown that the one-dimensional normal compression of sand can be modelled effectively in three-dimensions using the discrete element method, and that the slope of the compression curve (in log voids ratio–log stress space) is con...

Talking about sex after traumatic brain injury: perceptions and experiences of multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals (2013)
Journal Article

Purpose: Research indicates that although 50–60% of people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience changes in sexual functioning, sexuality issues remain largely unaddressed in rehabilitation. This study aimed to explore rehabilitation... Read More about Talking about sex after traumatic brain injury: perceptions and experiences of multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals.

Peptide ligation chemistry at selenol amino acids (2013)
Journal Article

The convergent assembly of peptide fragments by native chemical ligation has revolutionized the way in which proteins can be accessed by chemical synthesis. A variation of native chemical ligation involves the reaction of peptides bearing an N‐termin... Read More about Peptide ligation chemistry at selenol amino acids.

Uptake and transport of B12-conjugated nanoparticles in airway epithelium (2013)
Journal Article

Non-invasive delivery of biotherapeutics, as an attractive alternative to injections, could potentially be achieved through the mucosal surfaces, utilizing nanoscale therapeutic carriers. However, nanoparticles do not readily cross the mucosal barrie... Read More about Uptake and transport of B12-conjugated nanoparticles in airway epithelium.

Motor excitability during movement preparation in Tourette syndrome (2013)
Journal Article

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the occurrence of motor and vocal tics. TS has been linked to the impaired operation of cortical-striatal-thalamic-cortical circuits that give rise to hyper-excitability of cort...

Repetitive Control for High-Performance Resonant Pulsed Power Supply in Radio Frequency Applications (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a novel three-phase series resonant parallel loaded resonant converter topology for radio frequency applications. The proposed converter is capable of producing a series of “long pulses” as output voltage, each one lasting 1 ms in...

Vibration suppression and coupled interaction study in milling of thin wall casings in the presence of tuned mass dampers (2013)
Journal Article

Damping of machining vibrations in thin-wall structures is an important area of research due to the ever-increasing use of lightweight structures such as jet engine casings. Published literature has focussed on passive/active damping solutions for op...

Pretty faces, marginal races: Predicting election outcomes using trait assessments of British parliamentary candidates (2013)
Journal Article

The conventional wisdom on Western European politics leads us to believe that all the "action" lies with parties, because the unified parliamentary delegations in Western Europe draw voters' attention to parties' policies and images. Though British e... Read More about Pretty faces, marginal races: Predicting election outcomes using trait assessments of British parliamentary candidates.

Pharmacological enhancement of leg and muscle microvascular blood flow does not augment anabolic responses in skeletal muscle of young men under fed conditions (2013)
Journal Article

Skeletal muscle anabolism associated with postprandial plasma aminoacidemia and insulinemia is contingent upon amino acids (AA) and insulin crossing the microcirculation-myocyte interface. In this study, we hypothesized that increasing muscle microva...
