It was a Pleasure Meeting You : Towards a Holistic Model of Human-Robot Encounters
(2021-02-22)Social signals are commonly used to facilitate the usability of humanoid robots. While providing the robot with an extended expressibility, these signals are often applied only in structured interactions where parts of the ... -
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
(2021-02-02)Background: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), incorporating exposure and response prevention (ERP) is widely recognised as the psychological treatment of choice for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Uncertainty remains ... -

Dysregulation of epithelial ion transport and neurochemical changes in the colon of a parkinsonian primate
(2021-01-21)The pathological changes underlying gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease are poorly understood and the symptoms remain inadequately treated. In this study we compared the functional and neurochemical ... -
Effectiveness of the BodyMind Approach® for women with depression and medically unexplained symptoms in Taiwan
(2021-04)This article aims to examine the hypothesis that The BodyMind Approach® (TBMA) can effectively decrease depression and the distress experienced from medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) for women in Taiwan. A quasi-experimental ... -

A study exploring approaches for enhancing deeper learning on international field trips in Human Geography and Planning
(2020-05-01)The field trip is a well-established component of Human Geography and Planning curriculum in Higher education (Rynne, 1998), and seen by many to be both an essential and enjoyable learning method (Kent, 1997; Fuller et ... -
A General Procedure for Comparing Voluntary Movements Timed to Music and Metronome: Measuring Entrainment and Synchronisation abilities in Younger and Older Adults
(2021-02-05)Finger-tapping tasks are classically used to investigate sensorimotor synchronization in relation to neutral auditory cues, such as metronomes. However, music is more commonly associated with an entrained bodily response, ... -
{The Noise Handling Properties of the Talbot Algorithm for Numerically Inverting the Laplace Transform}
(2018-09-13)This paper examines the noise handling properties of three of the most widely used algorithms for numerically inverting the Laplace Transform. After examining the genesis of the algorithms, the regularization properties ... -
A Safety-Case Approach to the Ethics of Autonomous Vehicles
(2019-12-13)Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have significant ethical and safety implications. Questions of informed consent and risk acceptance are of primary importance, as is an explicit identification of the ethical principles underlying ... -
Evolutionary conservation of human ketodeoxynonulosonic acid production is independent of sialoglycan biosynthesis
(2020-12-29)Human metabolic incorporation of non-human sialic acid (Sia) N-glycolylneuraminic acid into endogenous glycans generates inflammation via pre-existing antibodies, likely contributing to red-meat-induced atherosclerosis ... -
Advantages and disadvantages of reciprocal peer-to-peer interviewing
(2021)The advantages and disadvantages of reciprocal peer-to-peer interviewing as a data collection approach are presented in this paper. Reciprocal peer-to-peer interviewing is a research technique where participants interview ... -
Porosity control of in situ forming tungsten carbide in laser additive manufacturing (LAM)
(2020)The effect of powder compression on the formation of porosity when heating with a laser beam has been investigated. The starting materials were elemental powders of Fe, W and C which were locally melted to form WC in Fe ... -
Interacting Abiotic Factors Affect Growth and Aflatoxin B1 Production Profiles of Aspergillus flavus Strains on Pistachio-Based Matrices and Pistachio Nuts
(2021-01-20)Pistachio nuts are an economically important commodity produced by many countries. They can be colonized by mycotoxigenic fungi, especially Aspergillus flavus, resulting in contamination with aflatoxins (AFs), especially ... -
A non-linear analysis of running in the heavy and severe exercise domains
(2021-02-12)Purpose Altered movement complexity, indicative of system dysfunction, has been demonstrated with increased running velocity and neuromuscular fatigue. The critical velocity (CV) denotes a metabolic and neuromuscular fatigue ... -
