ATNT: an enhanced system for expression of polycistronic secondary metabolite gene clusters in Aspergillus niger (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Fungi are treasure chests for yet unexplored natural products. However, exploitation of their real potential remains difficult as a significant proportion of biosynthetic gene clusters appears silent under standard laboratory conditions....

Hearing the humanities: sonifying Steele’s Shakespeare (2017)
Conference Proceeding

We present initial work that explores the use of sonification to represent Joshua Steele’s symbolic notation. This provides a manner of overhearing a previous performance and testing the method’s reproducibility and uncertainties within it.

An agent on my shoulder: AI, privacy and the application of human-like computing technologies to music creation (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Human-Like Computing technologies are intelligent systems that interact with people in human-like way. By bringing together the disciplines of Artificial Intelligence, Ethnography and Interaction Design, and applying them in a real world context we...

The impact of dairy cows' bedding material and its microbial content on the quality and safety of milk: a cross sectional study of UK farms (2017)
Journal Article

The introduction of bedding dairy cows on recycled manure solids (RMS) in the UK led to concern by competent authorities that there could be an increased, unacceptable risk to animal and human health. A cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate...

Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu (2017)
Journal Article

The extent of seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira biomass harvested from Lake Chitu was investigated to evaluate the variability of the quality of the product over a period of a year. Protein content varied from 47.9 to 55.7% fo... Read More about Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu.

Cell salvage and donor blood transfusion during Caesarean section: a pragmatic multicentre randomised controlled trial (SALVO) (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Excessive haemorrhage at caesarean section requires donor (allogeneic) blood transfusion. Cell 34 salvage may reduce this requirement. Methods and findings: We conducted a pragmatic randomised controlled trial (26 obstetric units; Jun...

Social Network Research (2017)
Book Chapter

Analysis of networks is increasingly seen as important for understanding the patterns, processes and consequences of social relationships in healthcare. Networks can be formal, mandated structures (e.g., a clinical network), can emerge from sharing a... Read More about Social Network Research.

Effective universal school-based social and emotional learning programs for improving academic achievement: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 50?years of research (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 This review explored the research regarding the effects of pre-K-12 school-based social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions on reading (N = 57,755), mathematics (N = 61,360), and science (N = 16,380) achievement. The review focused on r...
