The Trypanosome Exocyst: A Conserved Structure Revealing a New Role in Endocytosis (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Boehm et al. Membrane transport is an essential component of pathogenesis for most infectious organisms. In African trypanosomes, transport to and from the plasma membrane is closely coupled to immune evasion and antigenic variation. In mammal...

Cell death mechanisms in tumoral and non-tumoral human cell lines triggered by photodynamic treatments: apoptosis, necrosis and parthanatos (2017)
Journal Article

Cell death triggered by photodynamic therapy can occur through different mechanisms: apoptosis, necrosis or autophagy. However, recent studies have demonstrated the existence of other mechanisms with characteristics of both necrosis and apoptosis. Th...

Gas around galaxy haloes - III: hydrogen absorption signatures around galaxies and QSOs in the Sherwood simulation suite (2017)
Journal Article

Modern theories of galaxy formation predict that galaxies impact on their gaseous surroundings, playing the fundamental role of regulating the amount of gas converted into stars. While star-forming galaxies are believed to provide feedback through ga...

Recovery and decision-making involvement in people with severe mental illness from six countries: a prospective observational study (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Clinical decision-making is the vehicle of health care provision, and level of involvement predicts implementation and satisfaction. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of decision-making experience on recovery. Methods:...

Structural design of pavements incorporating foamed bitumen mixtures (2017)
Journal Article

This paper presents a rational structural design methodology termed the ‘cumulative damage approach’ for road, port and airport pavements incorporating cold bituminous mixtures with foamed bitumen. This has been developed along with a laboratory test... Read More about Structural design of pavements incorporating foamed bitumen mixtures.

Identifying and understanding strong vibronic interaction effects observed in the asymmetry of chiral molecule photoelectron angular distributions (2017)
Journal Article

Electron-ion coincidence imaging is used to study chiral asymmetry in the angular distribution of electrons emitted from randomly-oriented enantiomers of two molecules, methyloxirane and trifluoromethyloxirane, upon ionization by circularly polarized...

New horizons in the understanding of the causes and management of diabetic foot disease: report from the 2017 Diabetes UK Annual Professional Conference Symposium (2017)
Journal Article

Diabetes-related foot disease remains a common problem. For wounds, classic teaching recommends the treatment of any infection, offloading the wound and ensuring a good blood supply, as well as ensuring that the other modifiable risk factors are addr...

Double diaphragm forming simulation for complex composite structures (2017)
Journal Article

A finite element (FE) model has been developed to simulate the double diaphragm forming (DDF) process, to identify potential defects when forming complex 3D preforms from 2D biaxial non-crimp fabric plies. Three different metrics have been introduced... Read More about Double diaphragm forming simulation for complex composite structures.

Targeted sequencing of lung function loci in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases and controls (2017)
Journal Article

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide; smoking is the main risk factor for COPD, but genetic factors are also relevant contributors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of the lung function meas... Read More about Targeted sequencing of lung function loci in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases and controls.

Agent based modelling as a decision support system for shadow accounting (2017)
Journal Article

We propose the use of agent based modelling to create a shadow account, that is, a secondary account of a business which is used to audit or verify the primary ac¬count. Such a model could be used to test the claims of industries and businesses. For... Read More about Agent based modelling as a decision support system for shadow accounting.
