Edaphic, structural and physiological contrasts across Amazon Basin forest–savanna ecotones suggest a role for potassium as a key modulator of tropical woody vegetation structure and function (2015)
Journal Article

Sampling along a precipitation gradient in tropical South America extending from ca. 0.8 to 2.0 m a−1, savanna soils had consistently lower exchangeable cation concentrations and higher C / N ratios than nearby forest plots. These soil differences we...

Evaluating the effects of climate change on road maintenance intervention strategies and Life-Cycle Costs (2015)
Journal Article

Climate change has the potential to impact long-term road pavement performance. Consequently, to maintain pavements within the same ranges of serviceability as before, current pavement maintenance strategies need to be re assessed and, if necessary,...

Professional learning through the collaborative design of problem-solving lessons (2015)
Journal Article

This paper analyses lesson study as a mode of professional learning, focused on the development of mathematical problem solving processes, using the lens of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory. In particular we draw attention to two activity systems,... Read More about Professional learning through the collaborative design of problem-solving lessons.

A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The workforce scheduling and routing problem (WSRP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem where a set of workers must perform visits to geographically scattered locations. We present a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic algorithm to... Read More about A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem.

Structural organization of the corpus callosum predicts attentional shifts after continuous theta burst stimulation (2015)
Journal Article

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied over the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in healthy participants has been shown to trigger a significant rightward shift in the spatial allocation of visual attention, temporarily mimi...

The ?2-adrenoceptor activates a positive cAMP-calcium feedforward loop to drive breast cancer cell invasion (2015)
Journal Article

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system by stress increases breast cancer metastasis in vivo. Preclinical studies suggest that stress activates β-adrenoceptors (βARs) to enhance metastasis from primary tumors and that β-blockers may be protectiv...

A qualitative process evaluation of a randomised controlled trial of a parenting intervention in community (school) settings for children at risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Interventions for parents of children experiencing emotional and/or behavioural difficulties can help to improve their children’s health, educational and social outcomes. However, the desirability and acceptability of screening and offeri...

Scaling dimensions of higher-charge monopoles at deconfined critical points (2015)
Journal Article

The classical cubic dimer model has a columnar ordering transition that is continuous and described by a critical Anderson–Higgs theory containing an SU(2)-symmetric complex field minimally coupled to a noncompact U(1) gauge theory. Defects in the di... Read More about Scaling dimensions of higher-charge monopoles at deconfined critical points.

Cities of noise: a brief inquiry into sensemaking, sensemakers and organized worlds (2015)
Journal Article

In his novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Czech author Milan Kundera suggests that a novel is “an investigation of human life in the trap the world has become”. Novels are, indeed, arguably the most subtle tool of ontological inquiry, insightfu... Read More about Cities of noise: a brief inquiry into sensemaking, sensemakers and organized worlds.

Critical care admission trends and outcomes in individuals with bronchiectasis in the UK (2015)

Novel, synergistic antifungal combinations that target translation fidelity (2015)
Journal Article

There is an unmet need for new antifungal or fungicide treatments, as resistance to existing treatments grows. Combination treatments help to combat resistance. Here we develop a novel, effective target for combination antifungal therapy. Different a... Read More about Novel, synergistic antifungal combinations that target translation fidelity.

Hierarchy of steering criteria based on moments for all bipartite quantum systems (2015)
Journal Article

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering is a manifestation of quantum correlations exhibited by quantum systems that allows for entanglement certification when one of the subsystems is not characterized. Detecting the steerability of quantum states is essen... Read More about Hierarchy of steering criteria based on moments for all bipartite quantum systems.
