Parsons, A. J., Walton, K., Hild, F., Ilchev, A., Gimeno-Fabra, M., Tomczynska, M. M., …Irvine, D. J. (in press). Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles, similar to those seen in the structure of human bone, have been produced via hydrothermal synthesisand used to produce nanocomposite materials via melt blending with poly(lactic acid)(PLA). Both of these processes a... Read More about Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants.

Modelling asset management of railway overhead line equipment
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kilsby, P., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. D. (in press). Modelling asset management of railway overhead line equipment.

The overhead line equipment (OLE) is a critical sub-system of the 25kV AC overhead railway electrification system. There is a need to evaluate OLE asset management strategies through a whole life cost analysis that considers degradation processes and...

Numerical simulation of residual stresses induced by weld repair in a stainless steel pipe considering the influence of an initial fabrication weld
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Salerno, G., Bennett, C., Sun, W., & Becker, A. A. (in press). Numerical simulation of residual stresses induced by weld repair in a stainless steel pipe considering the influence of an initial fabrication weld. . Manuscript submitted for publication

This work presents the application of a finite element (FE) model developed to simulate the repair process in the case of components with a pre-existing stress state. The approach is tested in the case of a repair of a laser beam weld in a stainless...

Psychological therapy for people with tinnitus: a scoping review of treatment components
Journal Article
Thompson, D. M., Hall, D. A., Walker, D., & Hoare, D. J. (in press). Psychological therapy for people with tinnitus: a scoping review of treatment components. Ear and Hearing,

Background: Tinnitus is associated with depression and anxiety disor- ders, severely and adversely affecting the quality of life and functional health status for some people. With the dearth of clinical psychologists embedded in audiology services an... Read More about Psychological therapy for people with tinnitus: a scoping review of treatment components.

Protocol for the development and validation of risk prediction equations to estimate absolute and conditional survival in patients with cancer

Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care
Book
Hippisley-Cox, J., & Coupland, C. Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care. University of Nottingham

Anticoagulants are used to treat thrombosis and to prevent thrombosis and stroke among those at high risk. Older anticoagulants such as warfarin can be effective but require regular monitoring and may lead to major bleeding and even death. Newer anti...

A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Pryce, J., & Wilson, P. (in press). A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows. https://doi.org/10.21694/2379-1047.16002

This is the first study to derive the economic value of enteric methane produced by a ruminant animal. There is considerable interest globally in selecting for low methane-emitting ruminant livestock, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. However, b...
