Genuine multipartite nonlocality of permutationally invariant Gaussian states (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate genuine multipartite nonlocality of pure permutationally invariant multimode Gaussian states of continuous variable systems, as detected by the violation of Svetlichny inequality. We identify the phase space settings leading to the lar... Read More about Genuine multipartite nonlocality of permutationally invariant Gaussian states.

Combined inkjet printing and infrared sintering of silver nanoparticles using a swathe-by-swathe and layer-by-layer approach for 3-dimensional structures (2017)
Journal Article

Despite the advancement of additive manufacturing (AM)/3-dimensional (3D) printing, single-step fabrication of multifunctional parts using AM is limited. With the view of enabling multifunctional AM (MFAM), in this study, sintering of metal nanoparti...

The 'war on terror' and the new periphery (2017)
Book Chapter

This chapter exmaines the emergence of 'peripheral' fronts in the Bush administration's 'war on terror.' Since this 'war' was conceived from its inception as global in scope, it permitted the development of both 'core' and 'peripheral' fronts - the l...

Patient safety incidents involving sick children in primary care in England and Wales: a mixed methods analysis (2017)
Journal Article

Background: The UK performs poorly relative to other economically developed countries on numerous indicators of care quality for children. The contribution of iatrogenic harm to these outcomes is unclear. As primary care is the first point of health...

Lessons learned from the London Exercise and Pregnant (LEAP) Smokers randomised controlled trial process evaluation: implications for the design of physical activity for smoking cessation interventions during pregnancy (2017)
Journal Article

Background: The challenges of delivering interventions for pregnant smokers have been poorly documented. Also, the process of promoting a physical activity intervention for pregnant smokers has not been previously recorded. This study describes the e...

Colour-kinematics duality and the Drinfeld double of the Lie algebra of diffeomorphisms (2017)
Journal Article

Colour-kinematics duality suggests that Yang-Mills (YM) theory possesses some hidden Lie algebraic structure. So far this structure has resisted understanding, apart from some progress in the self-dual sector. We show that there is indeed a Lie algeb...

Development of Clostridium difficile R20291?PaLoc model strains and in vitro methodologies reveals CdtR is required for the production of CDT to cytotoxic levels (2017)
Journal Article

Assessing the regulation of Clostridium difficile transferase (CDT), is complicated by the presence of a Pathogenicity locus (PaLoc) which encodes Toxins A and B. Here we developed R20291?PaLoc model strains and cell-based assays to quantify CDT-medi...
