Update on otitis media – prevention and treatment (2014)
Journal Article

Acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion are common childhood disorders, a source of significant morbidity, and a leading cause of antibiotic prescription in primary health care. Although effective treatments are available, some shortcomings... Read More about Update on otitis media – prevention and treatment.

Effect of 3 to 5 years of scheduled CEA and CT follow-upto detect recurrence of colorectal cancer The FACS Randomized Clinical Trial (2014)
Journal Article

IMPORTANCE Intensive follow-up after surgery for colorectal cancer is common practice but is based on limited evidence. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of scheduled blood measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and computed tomography (CT) as f...

The dynamics of genome replication using deep sequencing (2014)
Journal Article

Eukaryotic genomes are replicated from multiple DNA replication origins. We present complementary deep sequencing approaches to measure origin location and activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Measuring the increase in DNA copy number during a synch... Read More about The dynamics of genome replication using deep sequencing.

The prevalence of tinnitus and the relationship with neuroticism in a middle-aged UK population (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Previous research has suggested that a substantial proportion of the population are severely affected by tinnitus, however recent population data are lacking. Furthermore, there is growing evidence that the perception of severity is close... Read More about The prevalence of tinnitus and the relationship with neuroticism in a middle-aged UK population.

One swallow doesn't make a summer: new evidence on anchoring effects (2014)
Journal Article

Some researchers have argued that anchoring in economic valuations casts doubt on the assumption of consistent and stable preferences. We present new evidence that explores the strength of certain anchoring results. We then present a theoretical fram...

Dynamic compression of foam supported plates impacted by high velocity soil (2014)
Journal Article

The response of back-supported buffer plates comprising a solid face sheet and foam core backing impacted by a column of high velocity particles (sand slug) is investigated via a lumped parameter model and coupled discrete/continuum simulations. The... Read More about Dynamic compression of foam supported plates impacted by high velocity soil.

Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data (2014)
Journal Article

Genomic DNA-based probe selection by using high density oligonucleotide arrays has recently been applied to heterologous species (Xspecies). With the advent of this new approach, researchers are able to study the genome and transcriptome of a non-mod...

Community phylogenetics at the biogeographical scale: cold tolerance, niche conservatism and the structure of North American forests (2014)
Journal Article

Aim The fossil record has led to a historical explanation for forest diversity gradients within the cool parts of the Northern Hemisphere, founded on a limited ability of woody angiosperm clades to adapt to mid-Tertiary cooling. We tested four pre... Read More about Community phylogenetics at the biogeographical scale: cold tolerance, niche conservatism and the structure of North American forests.

Asymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative (2014)
Journal Article

We compare the asymptotic local power of upper-tail unit root tests against an explosive alternative based on ordinary least squares (OLS) and quasi-differenced (QD) demeaning/detrending. We find that under an asymptotically negligible initialisation... Read More about Asymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative.

Health status of UK care home residents: a cohort study (2014)
Journal Article

Background: UK care home residents are often poorly served by existing healthcare arrangements. Published descriptions of residents’ health status have been limited by lack of detail and use of data derived from surveys drawn from social, rather than...

Getting goose bumps about teaching evolution (2014)
Journal Article

Colin Foster thinks that creationist claims can provide a good opportunity in the science classroom for examining the evidence for evolution

Comparing stochastic differential equations and agent-based modelling and simulation for early-stage cancer (2014)
Journal Article

There is great potential to be explored regarding the use of agent-based modelling and simulation as an alternative paradigm to investigate early-stage cancer interactions with the immune system. It does not suffer from some limitations of ordinary d... Read More about Comparing stochastic differential equations and agent-based modelling and simulation for early-stage cancer.

Risk and protective factors for falls from furniture in young children: multicenter case-control study (2014)
Journal Article

Importance: Falls from furniture are common in young children but there is little evidence on protective factors for these falls. Objective: To estimate associations for risk and protective factors for falls from furniture in children aged 0 to 4... Read More about Risk and protective factors for falls from furniture in young children: multicenter case-control study.

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.

A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica (2014)
Journal Article

The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with...

Spatial memory: behavioural determinants of persistence in the watermaze delayed matching-to-place task (2014)
Journal Article

The watermaze delayed matching-to-place (DMP) task was modified to include probe trials, to quantify search preference for the correct place. Using a zone-analysis of search-preference, a gradual decay of one-trial memory in rats was observed over 24...

The STAT3-Ser/Hes3 signaling axis in cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Disrupting the regenerative capacity of tumorigenic cells is a major focus in medicine. These regenerative properties are carried by a subpopulation of cells within the tumor, termed cancer stem cells. Current therapies don't effectively tackle the d...

Transient transcriptional events in human skeletal muscle at the outset of concentric resistance exercise training (2014)
Journal Article

We sought to ascertain the time course of transcriptional events that occur in human skeletal muscle at the outset of resistance exercise (RE) training in RE naive individuals and determine whether the magnitude of response was associated with exerci...

On the use of verlan to subtitle African American Vernacular English into French: transnational hybridity (2014)
Journal Article

The polysemiotic nature of subtitled films, whereby textual information (the subtitles) is combined with other audiovisual cues (the pictures and the soundtrack of the film) makes them very vulnerable as a form of translation, as well as a peculiar o...
