Exploring haemodynamics of haemodialysis using extrema points analysis model
Journal Article
Background: Haemodialysis is a form of renal replacement therapy used to treat patients with end stage renal failure. It is becoming more appreciated that haemodialysis patients exhibit higher rates of multiple end organ damage compared to the gen...

Time for curriculum reform: the case of mathematics
Journal Article
Mathematics education is rarely out of the policy spotlight in England. Over the last ten years, considerable attention has been given to improving 14-19 mathematics curriculum pathways. In this paper we consider some of the challenges of enacting cu... Read More about Time for curriculum reform: the case of mathematics.
Measuring proton shift tensors with ultrafast MAS NMR
Journal Article
A new proton anisotropic-isotropic shift correlation experiment is described which operates with ultrafast MAS, resulting in good resolution of isotropic proton shifts in the detection dimension. The new experiment makes use of a recoupling sequence... Read More about Measuring proton shift tensors with ultrafast MAS NMR.
We present new evidence for the existence of a near threshold ?* shape resonance as a common feature in the photoionization of each isomer of difluorobenzene. Experimentally this is revealed by significant changes in the anisotropy of the photoelectr... Read More about A generic ?* shape resonance observed in energy-dependent photoelectron angular distributions from two-colour, resonant multiphoton ionization of difluorobenzene isomers.
Teach the children well: young adult literature and queer content
Book
This paper forms part of a larger project interested equally in literary analysis of young adult texts with LGBTQ content, the institutional contexts within which such texts are produced, and what happens to the texts once they are published. Ultimat... Read More about Teach the children well: young adult literature and queer content.

The aim of this conceptual paper is to help stimulate further research and enquiry into UK Port Resilience and is a product of the EPSRC funded Knowledge Transfer Collaboration between the University of Nottingham and the Department for Transport (Df... Read More about Port resilience: a primer.
Making energy research more responsive: public dialogue as experiment
Digital Artefact
The UK Civil Service Reform Plan includes a commitment to embedding systems that are open to a broad range of inputs, including those of the public. Public responsiveness is therefore recognized as a key characteristic of good governance including in... Read More about Making energy research more responsive: public dialogue as experiment.
Living with the user: design drama for dementia care through responsive scripted experiences in the home
Conference Proceeding
Participation in forms of drama and narrative can provoke empathy and creativity in user-centred design processes. In this paper, we expand upon existing methods to explore the potential for responsive scripted experiences that are delivered through...
