Visual contrast detection cannot be predicted from surrogate measures of retinal ganglion cell number and sampling density in healthy young adults (2014)
Journal Article
Denniss, J., Turpin, A., & McKendrick, A. M. (2014). Visual contrast detection cannot be predicted from surrogate measures of retinal ganglion cell number and sampling density in healthy young adults. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 55(12), https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.14-15339

Reforming the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS): what is it exactly that we want? (2014)
Journal Article
Bartlett, P. (2014). Reforming the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS): what is it exactly that we want?

The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS) are the rules by which people who lack mental capacity can be deprived of liberty, most commonly in care homes or hospitals but also in supported accommodation and in the community more broadly. The prese... Read More about Reforming the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS): what is it exactly that we want?.

Robust and powerful tests for nonlinear deterministic components (2014)
Journal Article
Astill, S., Harvey, D. I., Leybourne, S. J., & Taylor, A. M. R. (2014). Robust and powerful tests for nonlinear deterministic components. Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 77(6), https://doi.org/10.1111/obes.12079

We develop a test for the presence of nonlinear deterministic components in a univariate time series, approximated using a Fourier series expansion, designed to be asymptotically robust to the order of integration of the process and to any weak depen...

Size and depth of vocabulary knowledge: what the research shows (2014)
Journal Article
Schmitt, N. (2014). Size and depth of vocabulary knowledge: what the research shows. Language Learning, 64(4), https://doi.org/10.1111/lang.12077

When discussing vocabulary, a distinction is often made between size of vocabulary (number of known words) and depth of knowledge (how well those words are known). However, the relationship between the two constructs is still unclear. Some scholars a... Read More about Size and depth of vocabulary knowledge: what the research shows.

WIMP physics with ensembles of direct-detection experiments (2014)
Journal Article
Peter, A. H., Glusevic, V., Green, A. M., Kavanagh, B. J., & Lee, S. L. (2014). WIMP physics with ensembles of direct-detection experiments. Physics of the Dark Universe, 5-6, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dark.2014.10.006

The search for weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter is multi-pronged. Ulti- mately, the WIMP-dark-matter picture will only be confirmed if different classes of experiments see consistent signals and infer the same WIMP properties. I...
