Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support
Conference Proceeding
Non-ipsative measures of party preference (preference ratings for each of the parties of a political system) have become common in election studies. They exist in different forms, such as thermometer ratings or feeling scores, likes and dislikes scor... Read More about Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support.
A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs
Conference Proceeding
This paper presents a framework for the development of a GIS open source mapping tool that aims to disseminate a database with results of detailed simulations in order to assess in a quick and easy way the energy performance of green roof designs acr...

Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases
Conference Proceeding
Classical deterministic simulations of epidemiological processes, such as those based on System Dynamics, produce a single result based on a fixed set of input parameters with no variance between simulations. Input parameters are subsequently modifie... Read More about Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.
Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations
Journal Article
It has been argued that bacteria communicate using small diffusible signal molecules to coordinate, among other things, the production of factors that are secreted outside of the cells in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). The underlying assumpt... Read More about Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations.
Education and development in Africa: lessons of the past 50 years for beyond 2015
Conference Proceeding
As we move to discuss the nature of development targets post 2015, it is timely to consider what lessons can be learnt from 50 years of experiences of attempts to link education and development in Africa. This paper offers a historical account of key... Read More about Education and development in Africa: lessons of the past 50 years for beyond 2015.
Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy
Conference Proceeding
The orthodox account of vocational education and training for development is firmly based in Neoliberal assumptions about the primacy of the economic. Yet, there are a range of alternative accounts of development, receiving increasing attention, tha... Read More about Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy.
The effective mathematics department: adding value and increasing participation?
Journal Article
Given the commonly accepted view that having a mathematically well-educated populace is strategically important, there is considerable international interest in raising attainment, and increasing participation, in post-compulsory mathematics educatio...

Lipidomic analysis of serum from horses with strongyle infection
Journal Article
The development of techniques capable of accurate diagnosis of strongyle infections is at the forefront of research in equine parasitology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential, for using lipidomics in the diagnosis of strongyle infect... Read More about Lipidomic analysis of serum from horses with strongyle infection.
Approaches to movement therapy and their relevance to the design of interactive systems to support rehabilitation
Conference Proceeding
Stroke is a major cause of physical disability for those that survive it. Traditionally, treatment of disability involves interaction with professional trained in the movement therapies. However, there is a growing body of research into interactive s... Read More about Approaches to movement therapy and their relevance to the design of interactive systems to support rehabilitation.
Supervised learning and anti-learning of colorectal cancer classes and survival rates from cellular biology parameters
Conference Proceeding
In this paper, we describe a dataset relating to cellular and physical conditions of patients who are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into immunological status at the point of tumour removal,tumour cl...

18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells
Journal Article
Background: One requisite of quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is to normalise the data with an internal reference gene that is invariant regardless of treatment, such as virus infection. Several studies have found variability in the... Read More about 18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells.
Structural optimization of molecular clusters with density functional theory combined with basin hopping
Journal Article
Identifying the energy minima of molecular clusters is a challenging problem. Traditionally, search algorithms such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, or basin hopping are usually used in conjunction with empirical force fields. We have impl...

Regulation of cel genes of C. cellulolyticum: identification of GlyR2, a transcriptional regulator regulating cel5D gene expression
Journal Article
Transcription and expression regulation of some individual cel genes (cel5A, cel5I, cel5D and cel44O) of Clostridium cellulolyticum were investigated. Unlike the cip-cel operon, these genes are transcribed as monocistronic units of transcription, exc...

A report into patterns of diet and exercise in the Pakistani community of Nottingham City
Book
This qualitative investigation considers dietary and exercise patterns of the Pakistani community residing in Nottingham. This is an important area of inquiry as the evidence suggests that these patterns cause higher rates of CHD among the members of...

Making Science Public as a route to better evidence
Journal Article
It is widely accepted that scientific evidence should play a role in policy decisions, yet the form that this should or could take remains subject to intense debate. Warren Pearce and Sujatha Raman discuss how the Making Science Public project attemp... Read More about Making Science Public as a route to better evidence.
Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days
Conference Proceeding
Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is produced by controlling three main factors: additives to mix composition, pre-setting application of pressure, and post-setting heating. Densification of the mortar is achieved by the application of pressure (either... Read More about Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days.
