Glycosylated proteins in the protozoan alga Euglena gracilis: a proteomic approach (2022)
Journal Article

Protein glycosylation, and in particular N-linked glycans, is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells and has been well-studied in mammalian cells and parasites. However, little research has been conducted to investigate the conservation and variation of prot...

Increases in stress hormone levels in a UK population during the COVID-19 pandemic: A prospective cohort study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Research suggests that psychological factors may influence vulnerability to SARS-CoV-2 infection, although the mechanisms are unclear. Purpose: We examined whether the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may be a possible mechanism, by me...

Autonomous image background removal for accurate and efficient close-range photogrammetry (2022)
Journal Article

Close-range photogrammetry can be used to reconstruct dense point clouds of an object with very high surface coverage, making it useful for manufacturing metrology tasks such as part inspection and validation. However, compared to competing technique... Read More about Autonomous image background removal for accurate and efficient close-range photogrammetry.

Sulfation at Glycopolymer Side Chains Switches Activity at the Macrophage Mannose Receptor (CD206) In Vitro and In Vivo (2022)
Journal Article

The mannose receptor (CD206) is an endocytic receptor expressed by selected innate immune cells and nonvascular endothelium, which plays a critical role in both homeostasis and pathogen recognition. Although its involvement in the development of seve... Read More about Sulfation at Glycopolymer Side Chains Switches Activity at the Macrophage Mannose Receptor (CD206) In Vitro and In Vivo.

The persistence of equine strangles (2022)
Working Paper

Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi) is the causative organism of the upper respiratory disease of equids, strangles, characterised by pyrexia, lymphadenopathy, and mucopurulent nasal discharge. Strangles was first reported over 750 years ago... Read More about The persistence of equine strangles.

Modified bronchoscopy masks mitigate aerosols during gastroscopies (2022)
Working Paper

Digestive endoscopy has been proven to produce aerosols (1–3). This represents a risk of infection by COVID-19 and other airborne viruses. A number of protective barriers have been proposed to minimise that risk. Continuous suction of the oral cavity... Read More about Modified bronchoscopy masks mitigate aerosols during gastroscopies.

Cost-effectiveness of England's national 'Safe At Home' scheme for reducing hospital admissions for unintentional injury in children aged under 5 (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Injuries in children aged under 5 years most commonly occur in the home and disproportionately affect those living in the most disadvantaged communities. The 'Safe at Home' (SAH) national home safety equipment scheme, which ran in England... Read More about Cost-effectiveness of England's national 'Safe At Home' scheme for reducing hospital admissions for unintentional injury in children aged under 5.

Effect of deleting four Toxoplasma gondii calcium-binding EGF domain-containing proteins on parasite replication and virulence (2022)
Journal Article

Several calcium-binding proteins including calcium-dependent protein kinases play important roles in several facets of the intracellular infection cycle of the apicomplexan protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. However, the role of the calcium-bindin... Read More about Effect of deleting four Toxoplasma gondii calcium-binding EGF domain-containing proteins on parasite replication and virulence.

Reframing race and widening access into higher education (2022)
Journal Article

This paper draws attention to empirical work on widening access to understand the silence on race matters in English higher education. This work repurposes a critical race theoretical framework that offers a glimpse of how the issue of unequal acces... Read More about Reframing race and widening access into higher education.

Designing lesson study for individual and collective learning: networking theoretical perspectives (2022)
Journal Article

This article aims to explore, by drawing on, and coordinating and combining Cultural Historical Activity Theory and Community of Practice theoretical perspectives, what we might learn about how to design for Lesson Study that best supports both colle...

An investigation of droplet impingement on a conical obstacle (2022)
Journal Article

Droplet impingement has been intensively studied in recent years due to its wide range of applications. In the present study, a multi-component multiphase Lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to study the droplet impingement on conical obstacles. A mod...

Neutralising antibody potency against SARS-CoV-2 wild-type and omicron BA.1 and BA.4/5 variants in patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with infliximab and vedolizumab after three doses of COVID-19 vaccine (CLARITY IBD): an analysis of a prospective multicentre cohort study (2022)
Journal Article

Background Anti-TNF drugs, such as infliximab, are associated with attenuated antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. We aimed to determine how the anti-TNF drug infliximab and the anti-integrin drug vedolizumab affect vaccine-induced neutr...

Adjoint-aided inference of Gaussian process driven differential equations (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Linear systems occur throughout engineering and the sciences, most notably as differential equations. In many cases the forcing function for the system is unknown, and interest lies in using noisy observations of the system to infer the forcing, as w...

A wedge of arbitrary angle interacting with a generalized singularity (2022)
Journal Article

In this paper, the state of stress induced within a semi-infinite wedge of arbitrary angle by a generalized singularity is studied, and its analytical solution is derived. The wedge may, usefully, be a V-shaped notch if the internal wedge angle is la... Read More about A wedge of arbitrary angle interacting with a generalized singularity.
