Response of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to metals (2015)
Book Chapter

Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 displays resistance to a plethora of metals. Its response and underlying genetic determinants are dissected and detailed metal by metal (from arsenic to zinc). An important role for its megaplasmids pMOL28 and pMOL30 is... Read More about Response of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to metals.

[18F]FDG-6-P as a novel in vivo tool for imaging staphylococcal infections (2015)
Journal Article

Background Management of infection is a major clinical problem. Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium which colonises approximately one third of the adult human population. Staphylococcal infections can be life-threatening and are frequ... Read More about [18F]FDG-6-P as a novel in vivo tool for imaging staphylococcal infections.

Challenge clusters facing LCA in environmental decision-making—what we can learn from biofuels (2015)
Journal Article

Purpose Bioenergy is increasingly used to help meet greenhouse gas (GHG) and renewable energy targets. However, bioenergy’s sustainability has been questioned, resulting in increasing use of life cycle assessment (LCA). Bioenergy systems are global a...

Lameness in cattle: recent research to inform clinical practice (2015)
Journal Article

Lameness in cattle has significant consequences for welfare, health and productivity. More research is now being done on lameness and this article, the first in a two-part series, provides an update on research-based advances in the field published f...

Biochar-mediated reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from soil amended with anaerobic digestates (2015)
Journal Article

This investigation examines nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from soil with simultaneous amendments of anaerobic digestates and biochar. The main source of anthropogenic emissions of N2O is agriculture and in particular, manure and slurry application to fi...

How to make experimental economics research more reproducible: lessons from other disciplines and a new proposal (2015)
Book Chapter

Efforts in the spirit of this special issue aim at improving the reproducibility of experimental economics, in response to the recent discussions regarding the “research reproducibility crisis.” We put this endeavour in perspective by summarizing the...

Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Recent efforts have shown that functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has potential value for brain sensing in HCI user studies. Research has shown that, although large head movement significantly affects fNIRS data, typical keyboard use, mous... Read More about Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks.

Designing mobile experiences for collocated interaction (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Many of our everyday social interactions involve mobile devices. Yet, these tend to only provide good support for distributed social interactions. Although much HCI and CSCW research has explored how we might support collocated, face-to-face situatio... Read More about Designing mobile experiences for collocated interaction.

A study of Chinese university EFL learners’ foreign language listening anxiety,listening strategy use and academic listening performance (2015)
Journal Article

The present study examined foreign language (FL) listening anxiety and listening strategy use in relation to the FL listening comprehension performance of 1702 undergraduate EFL learners from 5 universities in China. The findings were: (1) more than... Read More about A study of Chinese university EFL learners’ foreign language listening anxiety,listening strategy use and academic listening performance.

Is the universe transparent? (2015)
Journal Article

We present our study on cosmic opacity, which relates to changes in photon number as photons travel from the source to the observer. Cosmic opacity may be caused by absorption or scattering due to matter in the Universe, or by extragalactic magnetic... Read More about Is the universe transparent?.

An evaluation of the policy context on psychosocial risks and mental health in the workplace in the European Union: achievements, challenges, and the future (2015)
Journal Article

Despite the developments both in hard and soft law policies in the European Union in relation to mental health and psychosocial risks in the workplace, a review of these policies at EU level has not been conducted to identify strengths, weaknesses, a...

Programming deliberation strategies in meta-APL (2015)
Conference Proceeding

A key advantage of BDI-based agent programming is that agents can deliberate about which course of action to adopt to achieve a goal or respond to an event. However, while state-of-the-art BDI-based agent programming languages provide flexible suppor... Read More about Programming deliberation strategies in meta-APL.

A diffusion process associated with Fréchet means (2015)
Journal Article

This paper studies rescaled images, under exp−1μ, of the sample Fréchet means of i.i.d. random variables {Xk|k≥1} with Fréchet mean μ on a Rie-mannian manifold. We show that, with appropriate scaling, these images converge weakly to a diffusion proce... Read More about A diffusion process associated with Fréchet means.

Mixed integer programming with decomposition to solve a workforce scheduling and routing problem (2015)
Conference Proceeding

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 are distributed across different geographical locations...

Moderate drinking before the unit: medicine and life assurance in Britain and the US c.1860–1930 (2015)
Journal Article

This article describes the way in which “Anstie’s Limit” – a particular definition of moderate drinking first defined in Britain in the 1860s by the physician Francis Edmund Anstie (1833–1874) – became established as a useful measure of moderate alco...
