Impact of consumption of animal products on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer in developed countries (2013)
Journal Article

© Salter. • Meat and milk represent an energy-dense, protein-rich food source that also contributes significantly to the required intake of a range of micronutrients. With increasing economic prosperity, populations tend to increase their consumption...

Examining effects of climatic factors on flexible pavement performance and service life (2013)
Journal Article

The potential risk of climate change raises interest in how it may affect the deterioration rates of flexible pavements and how pavement service lives would be altered as a consequence. Previous studies demonstrated that temperature is the most influ... Read More about Examining effects of climatic factors on flexible pavement performance and service life.

Responsiveness of the EQ-5D health-related quality-of-life instrument in assessing low back pain (2013)
Journal Article

Objective: To compare the responsiveness of the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D) generic quality-of-life instrument with that of specific instruments - the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) - in assessin...

Synthesis, functional and binding profile of (R)-apomorphine based homobivalent ligands targeting the dopamine D2 receptor (2013)
Journal Article

Bivalent ligands represent useful tools to investigate the phenomenon of GPCR dimerization. We synthesized bivalent ligands based on (R)-apomorphine with variations in spacer length, and assessed these compounds in functional and binding assays at th...

Interventions to reduce dependency in personal activities of daily living in community-dwelling adults who use homecare services: protocol for a systematic review (2013)
Journal Article

Background There is a growing demand for services whereby individuals receive assistance from care workers for personal care within the home. This has led to the development of re-ablement or restorative homecare services that provide time-limited...

Journal Article

Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild (2013)
Conference Proceeding

We describe a very simple framework for deriving the most-well known optimization problems in Active Appearance Models (AAMs), and most importantly for providing efficient solutions. Our formulation results in two optimization problems for fast and e... Read More about Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild.

Age-related differences in selection by visual saliency (2013)
Journal Article

We examined the ability of older adults to select local and global stimuli varying in perceptual saliency – a task requiring non-spatial visual selection. Participants were asked to identify in separate blocks a target at either the global or local l... Read More about Age-related differences in selection by visual saliency.

Seasonally resolved diatom ?18O records from the west Antarctic Peninsula over the last deglaciation (2013)
Journal Article

Understanding the response of the Antarctic ice sheets during the rapid climatic change that accompanied the last deglaciation has implications for establishing the susceptibility of these regions to future 21st Century warming. A unique diatom δ18O... Read More about Seasonally resolved diatom ?18O records from the west Antarctic Peninsula over the last deglaciation.

Analysis of mass spectrometry data from the secretome of an explant model of articular cartilage exposed to pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory stimuli using machine learning (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is an inflammatory disease of synovial joints involving the loss and degeneration of articular cartilage. The gold standard for evaluating cartilage loss in OA is the measurement of joint space width on standard radiog... Read More about Analysis of mass spectrometry data from the secretome of an explant model of articular cartilage exposed to pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory stimuli using machine learning.

Mechanical stiffening of porphyrin nanorings through supramolecular columnar stacking (2013)
Journal Article

Solvent-induced aggregates of nanoring cyclic polymers may be transferred by electrospray deposition to a surface where they adsorb as threedimensional columnar stacks. The observed stack height varies from single rings to four stacked rings with a l... Read More about Mechanical stiffening of porphyrin nanorings through supramolecular columnar stacking.

Native Apps versus Web Apps: which is best for healthcare applications? (2013)
Journal Article

Smartphone applications (Apps) provide a new way to deliver healthcare, illustrated by the fact that healthcare Apps are estimated to make up over 30% of new Apps currently being developed; with this number seemingly set to increase as the benefits b...

Attributes for causal inference in electronic healthcare databases (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Side effects of prescription drugs present a serious issue. Existing algorithms that detect side effects generally require further analysis to confirm causality. In this paper we investigate attributes based on the Bradford-Hill causality criteria... Read More about Attributes for causal inference in electronic healthcare databases.

Membranes, molecules and biophysics: enhancing monocyte derived dendritic cell (MDDC) immunogenicity for improved anti-cancer therapy (2013)
Journal Article

Despite great medical advancement in the treatment of cancer, cancer remains a disease of global significance. Chemotherapeutics can be very expensive and drain medical resources at a national level and in some cases the cost of treatment is so great...

Insight into lithium transport in lithium nitridometallate battery materials from muon spin relaxation (2013)
Journal Article

Muon spin relaxation and powder neutron diffraction have been combined to study three lithium cobalt nitride battery materials. Neutron diffraction shows that these retain the P6/mmm space group of Li3N with Co located only on Li(1) sites. The lattic...
