TEM study on the electrical discharge machined surface of single-crystal silicon (2013)
Journal Article

EDM is a useful process for machining high-aspect ratio features with good accuracy in electrically conductive materials irrespective of their mechanical properties. With the ability of micro-EDM to compete with the resolution of conventional semi-co... Read More about TEM study on the electrical discharge machined surface of single-crystal silicon.

Identifying the sources of the pulse artefact in EEG recordings made inside an MR scanner (2013)
Journal Article

EEG recordings made during concurrent fMRI are confounded by the pulse artefact (PA), which although smaller than the gradient artefact is often more problematic because of its variability over multiple cardiac cycles. A better understanding of the P... Read More about Identifying the sources of the pulse artefact in EEG recordings made inside an MR scanner.

Classification tree for risk assessment in patients suffering from congestive heart failure via long-term heart rate variability (2013)
Journal Article

This study aims to develop an automatic classifier for risk assessment in patients suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF). The proposed classifier separates lower risk patients from higher risk ones, using standard long-term heart rate variabi...

The role of proton dynamics in the development and maintenance of multidrug resistance in cancer (2013)
Journal Article

With a projected 382.4 per 100,000 people expected to suffer from some form of malignant neoplasm in 2015, improving treatment is an essential focus of cancer research today. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is the leading cause of chemotherapeutic failur... Read More about The role of proton dynamics in the development and maintenance of multidrug resistance in cancer.

The communication of a secondary care diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis to primary care practitioners: a population-based study (2013)
Journal Article

Background Autoimmune Hepatitis is a chronic liver disease which affects young people and can result in liver failure leading to death or transplantation yet there is a lack of information on the incidence and prevalence of this disease and its natu...

Functional interplay of DnaE polymerase, DnaG primase and DnaC helicase within a ternary complex, and primase to polymerase hand-off during lagging strand DNA replication in Bacillus subtilis (2013)
Journal Article

Bacillus subtilis has two replicative DNA polymerases. PolC is a processive high-fidelity replicative polymerase, while the error-prone DnaEBs extends RNA primers before hand-off to PolC at the lagging strand. We show that DnaEBs interacts with t...

Baseline factors predicting change from the initial DMARD treatment during the first 2?years of rheumatoid arthritis: experience in the ERAN inception cohort (2013)
Journal Article

Background Outcomes in early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) may be improved by rapidly establishing a stable and effective disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) treatment regimen. We aimed to investigate whether baseline factors and initial treat...

On the stress–force–fabric relationship for granular materials (2013)
Journal Article

This paper employed the theory of directional statistics to study the stress state of granular materials from the particle scale. The work was inspired by the stress–force–fabric relationship proposed by Rothenburg and Bathurst (1989), which repres...

What do we tell patients about elective total hip replacement in the UK?: an analysis of patient literature (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Although hip information literature is given to people following total hip replacement (THR) almost routinely, little evaluation has been conducted on it to date. Our aim was therefore to analyse and evaluate the literature provided to pa...

The effect of feeding a low iron diet prior to and during gestation on fetal and maternal iron homeostasis in two strains of rat (2013)
Journal Article

Background Iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy is a global problem, with short and long term consequences for maternal and child health. Animal models have demonstrated that the developing fetus is vulnerable to maternal iron restriction, impac...

Insights into the structure and assembly of the Bacillus subtilis clamp-loader complex and its interaction with the replicative helicase. (2013)
Journal Article

The clamp-loader complex plays a crucial role in DNA replication by loading the β-clamp onto primed DNA to be used by the replicative polymerase. Relatively little is known about the stoichiometry, structure and assembly pathway of this complex, an...

White-matter microstructure and gray-matter volumes in adolescents with subthreshold bipolar symptoms (2013)
Journal Article

Abnormalities in white-matter (WM) microstructure, as lower fractional anisotropy (FA), have been reported in adolescent-onset bipolar disorder and in youth at familial risk for bipolarity. We sought to determine whether healthy adolescents with subt... Read More about White-matter microstructure and gray-matter volumes in adolescents with subthreshold bipolar symptoms.

Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies (2013)
