Silica stable isotopes and silicification in a carnivorous sponge Asbestopluma sp. (2015)
Journal Article
The stable isotope composition of benthic sponge spicule silica is a potential source of palaeoceanographic information about past deep seawater chemistry. The silicon isotope composition of spicules has been shown to relate to the silicic acid conce... Read More about Silica stable isotopes and silicification in a carnivorous sponge Asbestopluma sp..
Sculpting a mobile musical soundtrack (2015)
Conference Proceeding
We present an in-the-wild project to design and study a mobile musical soundtrack that enhances the experience of visiting a sculpture park. As with soundtracks for films and games, the goal was to enhance the emotional and narrative aspects of the e... Read More about Sculpting a mobile musical soundtrack.
Persistence of scrapie infectivity within a farm environment after cleaning and decontamination (2015)
Journal Article
Scrapie of sheep/goats and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) of deer/elk are contagious prion diseases where environmental reservoirs are directly implicated in the transmission of disease. In this study the effectiveness of recommended scrapie farm deco... Read More about Persistence of scrapie infectivity within a farm environment after cleaning and decontamination.
Recursive right-tailed unit root tests for an explosive asset price bubble (2015)
Journal Article
In this article, we compare the local asymptotic and finite sample power of two recently proposed recursive right-tailed Dickey–Fuller-type tests for an explosive rational bubble in asset prices. It is shown that the power of the two tests can differ... Read More about Recursive right-tailed unit root tests for an explosive asset price bubble.
Characterization of capsular polysaccharides and their glycoconjugates by hydrodynamic methods (2015)
Book Chapter
Hydrodynamic methods are relevant for the characterization of carbohydrates such as capsular bacterial polysaccharides or glycoconjugates in solution. This chapter focuses on the following hydrodynamic methods: sedimentation velocity analytical ultra...

Assessing vocabulary size through multiple-choice formats: issues with guessing and sampling rates (2015)
Journal Article
In most tests of vocabulary size, knowledge is assessed through multiple-choice formats. Despite advantages such as ease of scoring, multiple-choice tests (MCT) are accompanied with problems. One of the more central issues has to do with guessing and... Read More about Assessing vocabulary size through multiple-choice formats: issues with guessing and sampling rates.
How much collocation knowledge do L2 learners have?: the effects of frequency and amount of exposure (2015)
Journal Article
Many scholars believe that collocations are difficult to learn and use by L2 learners. However, some research suggests that learners often know more collocations than commonly thought. This study tested 108 Spanish learners of English to measure thei... Read More about How much collocation knowledge do L2 learners have?: the effects of frequency and amount of exposure.
‘Well I don’t feel that’: schemas, worlds and authentic reading in the classroom (2015)
Journal Article
This article explores reading in the English classroom through a cognitive linguistic lens. In particular, we consider how students’ ability to engage with a text, which we term authentic reading, can be facilitated or restricted. We draw on two case...

Building an evidence base for adult safeguarding?: problems with the reliability and validity of adult safeguarding databases (2015)
Journal Article
This article considers current adult safeguarding policy guidelines for England, which require local authorities to collect adult safeguarding data for the purposes of research and service development. It then moves on to report some of the findings... Read More about Building an evidence base for adult safeguarding?: problems with the reliability and validity of adult safeguarding databases.
A framework for the cross-sectoral integration of multi-model impact projections: land use decisions under climate impacts uncertainties (2015)
Journal Article
Climate change and its impacts already pose considerable challenges for societies that will further increase with global warming (IPCC, 2014a, b). Uncertainties of the climatic response to greenhouse gas emissions include the potential passing of lar...

A 3D scene analysis framework and descriptors for risk evaluation (2015)
Conference Proceeding
In this paper we evaluate the notion of scene analysis with regard to risk. We consider the problem of evaluating risk and potential hazards in an environment and providing a quantified risk score. A definition of risk is given incorporating two elem... Read More about A 3D scene analysis framework and descriptors for risk evaluation.
Responsive cell–material interfaces (2015)
Journal Article
Major design aspects for novel biomaterials are driven by the desire to mimic more varied and complex properties of a natural cellular environment with man-made materials. The development of stimulus responsive materials makes considerable contributi... Read More about Responsive cell–material interfaces.
