Professionals and public-good capabilities (2015)
Journal Article

Martha Nussbaum (2011) reminds us that, all over the world people are struggling for a life that is fully human - a life worthy of human dignity. Purely income-based and preference based evaluations, as Sen (1999) argues, do not adequately capture wh... Read More about Professionals and public-good capabilities.

Journal Article

Sun safety knowledge and practice in UK postal delivery workers (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Postal delivery workers spend a large proportion of their work time outdoors, placing them at increased risk for skin cancer. To date, no studies have examined occupational sun safety knowledge and practice within this group in the UK. A... Read More about Sun safety knowledge and practice in UK postal delivery workers.

The professionals speak: practitioners’ perspectives on professional election campaigning (2015)
Journal Article

Faced with some fundamental changes in the socio-cultural, political and media environment, political parties in post-industrialized democracies have started to initiate substantial transformations of both their organizational structures and communic...

Optimizing the mix design of cold bitumen emulsion mixtures using response surface methodology (2015)
Journal Article

Cold mix asphalt (CMA) has been increasingly recognized as an important alternative worldwide. One of the common types of CMA is cold bitumen emulsion mixture (CBEM). In the present study, the optimization of CBEM has been investigated, to determine... Read More about Optimizing the mix design of cold bitumen emulsion mixtures using response surface methodology.

Thionated perylene diimides with intense absorbance in the near-IR (2015)
Journal Article

A synthetic strategy involving a combination of tetra-thionation and amine substitution in the bay region of a perylene diimide (PDI) leads to remarkable examples of neutral PDIs with intense absorption maxima in the near infrared. Generation of the... Read More about Thionated perylene diimides with intense absorbance in the near-IR.

Intermolecular artifacts in probe microscope images of C60 assemblies (2015)
Journal Article

Claims that dynamic force microscopy has the capability to resolve intermolecular bonds in real space continue to be vigorously debated. To date, studies have been restricted to planar molecular assemblies with small separations between neighboring m...

Monotherapy or polytherapy for childhood epilepsies? (2015)
Journal Article

HOXA5 Counteracts Stem Cell Traits by Inhibiting Wnt Signaling in Colorectal Cancer (2015)
Journal Article

Hierarchical organization of tissues relies on stem cells, which either self-renew or produce committed progenitors predestined for lineage differentiation. Here we identify HOXA5 as an important repressor of intestinal stem cell fate in vivo and ide... Read More about HOXA5 Counteracts Stem Cell Traits by Inhibiting Wnt Signaling in Colorectal Cancer.

Reconstruction-classification method for quantitative photoacoustic tomography (2015)
Journal Article

We propose a combined reconstruction-classification method for simultaneously recovering absorption and scattering in turbid media from images of absorbed optical energy. This method exploits knowledge that optical parameters are determined by a limi... Read More about Reconstruction-classification method for quantitative photoacoustic tomography.

Measuring asymmetry and testing symmetry (2015)
Journal Article

In this paper, we show that some of the most commonly used tests of symmetry do not have power which is reflective of the size of asymmetry. This is because the primary rationale for the test statistics that are proposed in the literature to test for... Read More about Measuring asymmetry and testing symmetry.

Age-dependent motor unit remodelling in human limb muscles (2015)
Journal Article

Voluntary control of skeletal muscle enables humans to interact with and manipulate the environment. Lower muscle mass, weakness and poor coordination are common complaints in older age and reduce physical capabilities. Attention has focused on ways...

Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study (2015)
Journal Article

We report on the results of experiments where participants choose between entrepreneurship and an outside option. Entrepreneurs enter a market and then make investment decisions to capture value. Payoffs depend on both strategic risk (i.e. the invest... Read More about Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study.

Dwelling cells, the city and the autonomy of architecture (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Hans Scharoun projected his Siedlung Charlottenburg Nord of 1955 and his Siedlung Siemensstadt of 1929 as a partial realization of his urban vision for a radical restructuring of Berlin after WW2. For Scharoun, “the mechanical decentralization” as he... Read More about Dwelling cells, the city and the autonomy of architecture.

Extended decomposition for mixed integer programming to solve a workforce scheduling and routing problem (2015)
Conference Proceeding

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. We propose an approach based on mixed integer programming (MIP) with decomposition to solve a workforce scheduling and routing problem, in which a set of workers should be assigned to tasks that a...

An experiment to assess the effects of diatom dissolution on oxygen isotope ratios (2015)
Journal Article

Rationale: Current studies which use the oxygen isotope composition from diatom silica (δ18Odiatom) as a palaeoclimate proxy assume that the δ18Odiatom value reflects the isotopic composition of the water in which the diatom formed. However, diatoms... Read More about An experiment to assess the effects of diatom dissolution on oxygen isotope ratios.

TRIC-track: tracking by regression with incrementally learned cascades (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes a novel approach to part-based track- ing by replacing local matching of an appearance model by direct prediction of the displacement between local image patches and part locations. We propose to use cascaded regression with incre... Read More about TRIC-track: tracking by regression with incrementally learned cascades.

Rheological and textural properties of sodium reduced salt soluble myofibrillar protein gels containing sodium tri-polyphosphate (2015)
