Demonstrably doing accountability in the internet of things (2018)
Journal Article

This article explores the importance of accountability to data protection (DP), and how it can be built into the Internet of Things (IoT). The need to build accountability into the IoT is motivated by the opaque nature of distributed data flows, inad... Read More about Demonstrably doing accountability in the internet of things.

Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’ (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Background: Diets rich in dietary fibre are associated with multiple health benefits, but there is often only a restricted understanding of the mechanisms underlying these associations. This limits the ability to select or design... Read More about Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’.

A systematic review of behaviour change techniques within interventions to prevent return to smoking postpartum (2018)
Journal Article

Introduction: There is no routine support to prevent postpartum smoking relapse, due to lack of effective interventions. Previous reviews have identified behaviour change techniques (BCTs) within pregnancy cessation trials to specify which components...

Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations (2018)
Journal Article

A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile pull-off loading. The proposed method starts with building the reali... Read More about Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations.

Frequency difference mapping applied to the corpus callosum at 7T (2018)
Journal Article

Purpose: Frequency difference mapping (FDM) is a phase processing technique which characterises the non-linear temporal evolution of the phase of gradient echo signals. Here, a novel FDM processing algorithm is introduced, which is shown to reveal in... Read More about Frequency difference mapping applied to the corpus callosum at 7T.

A novel approach for rational determination of warm mix asphalt production temperatures (2018)
Journal Article

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) has been developed to minimise environmental impact of asphalt by reducing production temperatures of this material. This study provides a new approach to design WMA production temperatures by two methods. First, aggregate coat...

Evidence for Jahn-Teller effects in endohedral fullerenes (2018)
Journal Article

Endohedral fullerenes can be formed by encapsulating one or more atom or molecule inside the cavity of the fullerene molecule. When a light molecule is encapsulated, it will remain close to the centre of the fullerene molecule without any strong inte...

Locating primary somatosensory cortex in human brain stimulation studies: Experimental evidence (2018)
Journal Article

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over human primary somatosensory cortex (S1) does not produce immediate outputs. Researchers must therefore rely on indirect methods for TMS coil positioning. The 'gold standard' is to use individual functional... Read More about Locating primary somatosensory cortex in human brain stimulation studies: Experimental evidence.
