Serum microRNA array analysis identifies miR-140-3p, miR-33b-3p and miR-671-3p as potential osteoarthritis biomarkers involved in metabolic processes.
(2017-12-12)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in circulation have emerged as promising biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to identify a circulating miRNA signature for osteoarthritis (OA) patients and in combination with bioinformatics ...
Utilising humanoid robots to assist children with autism learn about Visual Perspective Taking
(2017-12-12)
In this paper we provide an overview of the study we have recently conducted investigating the possibility of using humanoid robots to teach children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) about Visual Perspective Taking ...
Squeezed between shells? On the origin of the Lupus I molecular cloud. - II. APEX CO and GASS HI observations
(2017-12-12)
Context. The Lupus I cloud is found between the Upper-Scorpius (USco) and the Upper-Centaurus-Lupus (UCL) sub-groups of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB-association, where the expanding USco H I shell appears to interact with a ...
Embedded Trusted Monitoring and Management Modules for Smart Solar Panels
(2017-12-11)
This paper investigates developing a prototype of smart solar panels. This architecture consists of a panel monitoring module and the central management unit. The monitoring module is to be embedded inside each PV panel ...
Fractional memristor
(2017-12-11)
Based on the differential conformal transformation in the fractional order, we defined the fractional memristor in contrast to the traditional (integer-order) memristor. As an example, a typical spin-transfer torque (STT) ...
Detection of faulty high speed wind turbine bearing using signal intensity estimator technique
(2017-12-11)
Bearings are typically used in wind turbines to support shafts and gears that increase rotational speed from a low speed rotor to a higher speed electrical generator. For various bearing applications, condition monitoring ...
A White Paper Discussing Ethical Considerations for Autonomous Vehicles
(Transport Systems Catapult, 2017-12-11)
Autonomous systems (a category which includes AVs) have been proposed for use in multiple domains, with examples including nuclear containment, defence systems, health and transport. In this paper we discuss the ethical ...
Simplified immobilisation method for histidine-tagged enzymes in poly(methyl methacrylate) microfluidic devices
(2017-12-11)
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic devices have become promising platforms for a wide range of applications. Here we report a simple method for immobilising histidine-tagged enzymes suitable for PMMA microfluidic ...
Capturing health and eating status through a nutritional perception screening questionnaire (NPSQ9) in a randomised internet-based personalised nutrition intervention : the Food4Me study
(2017-12-11)
BACKGROUND: National guidelines emphasize healthy eating to promote wellbeing and prevention of non-communicable diseases. The perceived healthiness of food is determined by many factors affecting food intake. A positive ...
Extreme infrared variables from UKIDSS - II. an end-of-survey catalogue of eruptive YSOs and unusual stars
(2017-12-11)
We present a catalogue of 618 high-amplitude infrared variable stars (1 < ΔK < 5 mag) detected by the two widely separated epochs of 2.2 μm data in the UKIDSS Galactic plane survey, from searches covering ∼1470 deg2. Most ...
