Measuring sub-mm structural displacements using QDaedalus: a digital clip-on measuring system developed for total stations (2014)
Journal Article

The monitoring of rigid structures of modal frequencies greater than 5 Hz and sub-mm displacement is mainly based so far on relative quantities from accelerometers, strain gauges etc. Additionally geodetic techniques such as GPS and Robotic Total Sta...

Mesenchymal stromal cells express GARP/LRRC32 on their surface: Effects on their biology and immunomodulatory capacity (2014)
Journal Article

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represent a promising tool for therapy in regenerative medicine, transplantation, and autoimmune disease due to their trophic and immunomodulatory activities. However, we are still far from understanding the mechanism... Read More about Mesenchymal stromal cells express GARP/LRRC32 on their surface: Effects on their biology and immunomodulatory capacity.

Rumour and Radiation: Sound in Video Art (2014)
Book

This is a book about video art, and about sound art. The thesis is that sound first entered the gallery via the video art of the 1960s and in so doing, created an unexpected noise. The early part of the book looks at this formative period and the... Read More about Rumour and Radiation: Sound in Video Art.

Recognition of Haptic Interaction Patterns in Dyadic Joint Object Manipulation (2014)
Journal Article

The development of robots that can physically cooperate with humans has attained interest in the last decades. Obviously, this effort requires a deep understanding of the intrinsic properties of interaction. Up to now, many researchers have focused o...

The Iron Cage of Liberalism: International Politics and Unarmed Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa (2014)
Book

Revolutions no longer stand to be recognized. In contrast to the processes of political and social change spearheaded—and romanticized—by revolutionaries like Lenin and Mao, contemporary revolutions no longer require violent struggle in order to secu...

Variation in the inter-service intervals of UK dairy cows (2014)
Journal Article

An understanding of the normal estrous cycle length of the cow is important when managing and monitoring dairy herd fertility. Whilst the normal inter-ovulatory interval is widely considered to be 21 days, some studies have found alternative interval...

Prebiotic and probiotic agents enhance antibody-based immune responses to Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs (2014)
Journal Article

Salmonellosis causes significant economic losses to the pig industry and contaminated pork products are an important source of Salmonella for humans. The EU ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters in pig production, and the emergence of antibio...

An investigation of the efficacy of a polyvalent mastitis vaccine using different vaccination regimens under field conditions in the United Kingdom (2014)
Journal Article

Vaccination can play a useful role in mastitis control programs, although there is a relative dearth of large, well-controlled field efficacy studies. This paper presents the findings on the use of a commercially available vaccine (Startvac, Hipra UK...

Data-informed fuzzy measures for fuzzy integration of intervals and fuzzy numbers (2014)
Journal Article

The fuzzy integral (FI) with respect to a fuzzy measure (FM) is a powerful means of aggregating information. The most popular FIs are the Choquet and Sugeno, and most research focuses on these two variants. The arena of the FM is much more populated,...

Contrasting patterns of turnover between plants, pollinators and their interactions (2014)
Journal Article

Aim: Biogeographers typically assess patterns of diversity across landscapes. As interacting groups often exhibit contrasting trends, this leads to variation in the structure of interaction networks and thereby influences ecosystem processes. Here we...

Beyond risk-taking: effects of psychological safety on cooperative goal interdependence and prosocial behavior (2014)
Journal Article

In addition to risk-taking behavior, we propose that psychological safety also promotes prosocial behavior through cooperative goal interdependence. To differentiate these two types of effects, we contrasted the moderating effects of two interpersona...
