The environmental setting of Epipalaeolithic aggregation site Kharaneh IV (2015)
Journal Article
The archaeological site of Kharaneh IV in Jordan’s Azraq Basin, and its relatively near neighbour Jilat 6 show evidence of sustained occupation of substantial size through the Early to Middle Epipalaeolithic (c. 24,000 – 15,000 cal BP). Here we revie... Read More about The environmental setting of Epipalaeolithic aggregation site Kharaneh IV.
Effects of long-term inorganic and organic fertilizations on the soil micro and macro structures of rice paddies (2015)
Journal Article
The soil structure of paddy soil is very dynamic from the aggregate to the pedon scale because of intensive anthropogenic management strategies. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that long-term inorganic and organic fertilizations can affect so...

Tensor products of nonassociative cyclic algebras (2015)
Journal Article
We study the tensor product of an associative and a nonassociative cyclic algebra. The condition for the tensor product to be a division algebra equals the classical one for the tensor product of two associative cyclic algebras by Albert or Jacobson,...

Investigating preventive-medicine consultations in first-opinion small-animal practice in the United Kingdom using direct observation (2015)
Journal Article
Preventive-medicine consultations account for a large proportion of the veterinary caseload and previous research has suggested these consultations are fundamentally different from those in which the animal is presented for a specific health problem....

Active DC-link capacitor harmonic current reduction in two-level back-to-back converter (2015)
Journal Article
The paper proposes a method of active switching harmonics current reduction in the DC-link capacitor of a two-level, three-phase, back-to-back converter. Based on the derived analytical solution for switching harmonic currents in the DC-link, it is s...

Au(I) N-heterocyclic carbenes from bisimidazolium amphiphiles: synthesis, cytotoxicity and incorporation onto gold nanoparticles (2015)
Journal Article
A gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene 4 from a bis-imidazolium-amphiphile was synthesized and characterized. The cytotoxicity against HT-29 colon carcinoma and MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cells was assessed for the NHC complex 4, the imidazolium salt...

Activating metaphors: exploring the embodied nature of metaphorical mapping in political discourse (2015)
Journal Article
Objectives: This activity allows students to explore the embodied nature of metaphor and its interpretative significance by using gesture and physical movement. Students also understand how, in metaphor, abstract entities are conceptualized in terms...

Pharmacological interventions for promoting smoking cessation during pregnancy (2015)
Journal Article
Background Smoking in pregnancy is a public health problem. When used by non-pregnant smokers, pharmacotherapies (nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion and varenicline) are effective for smoking cessation, however, their efficacy and safet...

Understanding social media and sound: music, meaning and membership, the case of SoundCloud (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Social media technologies have meant that people’s mu- sic consumption and production practices have rapidly changed and evolved. In this paper, we start to explore and present some of our initial findings in respect to this growing area of research...

Sonifying the Scene: re-framing and manipulating meaning through audio augmentation (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Digital locative music technologies are transforming the ways in which we are able to manipulate and re-frame the meaning of architecture, landscape and art. In this note we explore and outline some of the key features that are associated with this.... Read More about Sonifying the Scene: re-framing and manipulating meaning through audio augmentation.
Location dependent coordination chemistry and MRI relaxivity, in de novo designed lanthanide coiled coils (2015)
Journal Article
Herein, we establish for the first time the design principles for lanthanide coordination within coiled coils, and the important consequences of binding site translation. By interrogating design requirements and by systematically translating binding...

An ancestral host defence peptide within human beta-defensin 3 recapitulates the antibacterial and antiviral activity of the full-length molecule (2015)
Journal Article
Host defence peptides (HDPs) are critical components of innate immunity. Despite their diversity, they share common features including a structural signature, designated “γ-core motif”. We reasoned that for each HDPs evolved from an ancestral γ-core,...

Russell-names: an introduction to Millian descriptivism (2015)
Journal Article
This essay studies the semantic properties of what I call Russell-names. Russell-names bear intimate semantic relations with descriptive conditions, in consonance with the main tenets of descriptivism. Yet, they are endowed with the semantic properti...

Measuring the immune system of the three-spined stickleback: investigating natural variation by quantifying immune expression in the laboratory and the wild (2015)
Journal Article
Current understanding of the immune system comes primarily from lab-based studies. There has been substantial interest in examining how it functions in the wild, but studies have been limited by a lack of appropriate assays and study species. The thr...

Whole genome sequence and manual annotation of Clostridium autoethanogenum, an industrially relevant bacterium (2015)
Journal Article
© 2015 Humphreys et al. Background: Clostridium autoethanogenum is an acetogenic bacterium capable of producing high value commodity chemicals and biofuels from the C1 gases present in synthesis gas. This common industrial waste gas can act as the so... Read More about Whole genome sequence and manual annotation of Clostridium autoethanogenum, an industrially relevant bacterium.
Self-consistent solitons for vacuum decay in radiatively generated potentials (2015)
Journal Article
We use a Green’s function approach in order to develop a method for calculating the tunneling rate between radiatively generated nondegenerate vacua. We apply this to a model that exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking via the Coleman-Weinberg mechan... Read More about Self-consistent solitons for vacuum decay in radiatively generated potentials.
A correspondence of modular forms and applications to values of L-series (2015)
Journal Article
An interpretation of the Rogers–Zudilin approach to the Boyd conjectures is established. This is based on a correspondence of modular forms which is of independent interest. We use the reinterpretation for two applications to values of L-series and v... Read More about A correspondence of modular forms and applications to values of L-series.
Increased oxidative metabolism following hypoxia in the type 2 diabetic heart, despite normal hypoxia signalling and metabolic adaptation (2015)
Journal Article
Hypoxia activates the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), promoting glycolysis and suppressing mitochondrial respiration. In the type 2 diabetic heart, glycolysis is suppressed whereas fatty acid metabolism is promoted. The diabetic heart experiences chr...
