Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate positional cues to prime cambial growth (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, Springer Nature Limited. Apical growth in plants initiates upon seed germination, whereas radial growth is primed only during early ontogenesis in procambium cells and activated later by the vascular cambium 1 . Although it is not known how... Read More about Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate positional cues to prime cambial growth.

Extreme osmotolerance and halotolerance in food-relevant yeasts and the role of glycerol-dependent cell individuality (2019)
Journal Article

Osmotolerance and halotolerance are used to describe resistance to sugars and salt, respectively. Here, a comprehensive screen of more than 600 different yeast isolates revealed that osmosensitive species were equally affected by NaCl and glucose. Ho...

Lipids and polymers in pharmaceutical technology: lifelong companions (2019)
Journal Article

In pharmaceutical technology, lipids and polymers are considered pillar excipients for the fabrication of most dosage forms, irrespective of the administration route. They play various roles ranging from support vehicles to release rate modifiers, st... Read More about Lipids and polymers in pharmaceutical technology: lifelong companions.

Examining diabetic heel ulcers through an ecological lens: microbial community dynamics associated with healing and infection (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: While some micro-organisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, are clearly implicated in causing tissue damage in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), our knowledge of the contribution of the entire microbiome to clinical outcomes is limited. We profile... Read More about Examining diabetic heel ulcers through an ecological lens: microbial community dynamics associated with healing and infection.

Synthetic lattices, flat bands and localization in Rydberg quantum simulators (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. The most recent manifestation of cold Rydberg atom quantum simulators that employs tailored optical tweezer arrays enables the study of many-body dynamics under so-called facilitation conditions. We show how the facilitatio... Read More about Synthetic lattices, flat bands and localization in Rydberg quantum simulators.

The penal voluntary sector: a hybrid sociology (2019)
Journal Article

The penal voluntary sector (PVS) is an important, complex, under-theorised area. Its non-profit, non-statutory organisations are highly significant in the operation of punishment around the world, yet ill-understood. Burgeoning scholarship has begun...

Corporate Multinationality and Acquirer Returns (2019)
Journal Article

This paper provides evidence on how corporate multinationality from the perspective of acquiring firms relates to M&A returns. Using multivariate regressions and a large dataset of over 6,000 M&As (both cross-border and domestic) by UK firms during 1... Read More about Corporate Multinationality and Acquirer Returns.

CoCo-MD: A Simple and Effective Method for the Enhanced Sampling of Conformational Space (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 American Chemical Society. CoCo ("complementary coordinates") is a method for ensemble enrichment based on principal component analysis (PCA) that was developed originally for the investigation of NMR data. Here we investigate the potential of... Read More about CoCo-MD: A Simple and Effective Method for the Enhanced Sampling of Conformational Space.

Direct-writing by active tooling in electrochemical jet processing (2019)
Journal Article

Recent innovations in electrochemical jet processing have caused step changes in process flexibility and precision. However, utilisation of these innovations requires the development of new machine tool technology. Presented here is a new methodology...

The impact of dairy protein intake on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in middle-aged to older adults with or without existing sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article

Sarcopenia is an age-related condition associated with a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength. Insufficient protein intake is a risk factor for sarcopenia. Protein supplementation is suggested to improve muscle anabolism and function in young...

A view from above: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide a new tool for assessing liana infestation in tropical forest canopies (2019)
Journal Article

1. Tropical forests store and sequester large quantities of carbon, mitigating climate change. Lianas (woody vines) are important tropical forest components, most conspicuous in the canopy. Lianas reduce forest carbon uptake and their recent incre...

Discrete time crystals in the absence of manifest symmetries or disorder in open quantum systems (2019)
Journal Article

We establish a link between metastability and a discrete time-crystalline phase in a periodically driven open quantum system. The mechanism we highlight requires neither the system to display any microscopic symmetry nor the presence of disorder, but...

Nuclear weapons fallout 137Cs in temperate and tropical pine forest soils, 50 years post-deposition (2019)
Journal Article

Following nuclear releases to the environment, 137Cs (half-life 30 years) is a long-term contaminant of many ecosystems, including forests. We recently sampled soils under pine forests in temperate and tropical climates to test the hypothesis that mi...
