Measuring the Physical Properties of Distant Galaxies and Black Holes in the Era of Surveys
(2019-09-20)In the era of deep and wide-field surveys (e.g. SDSS, LSST, LOFAR, SKA), we have access to an ever-increasing volume of multi-wavelength data for millions of galaxies both locally and at high redshifts. However, inferring ... -
Influence of Muscle Fatigue on Electromyogram-Kinematic Correlation During Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Training
(2020-03-16)Introduction: Studies on adaptive robot-assisted upper limb training interactions do not often consider the implications of muscle fatigue sufficiently. Methods: In order to explore this, we initially assessed muscle fatigue ... -
Experienced professionals and doctoral study: a search for performative co-creation
(2020-03-13)Those doctoral researchers in business-to-business marketing who have substantial prior experience in business practice offer the opportunity for a valuable, constructive dialogue between ‘theory’ and ‘practice’. However, ... -
Turning the Co-Production Corner : Methodological Reflections from an Action Research Project to Promote LGBT Inclusion in Care Homes for Older People
(2018-04-07)Background: Older lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) residents are often invisible in long-term care settings. This article presents findings from a community-based action research project, which attempted to address ... -
Circulation of Highly Drug-Resistant Clostridium difficile Ribotypes 027 and 001 in Two Tertiary-Care Hospitals in Mexico
(2018-05-01)OBJECTIVE: To assess drug susceptibility and characterize Clostridium difficile ribotypes in isolates from two tertiary-care hospitals in Mexico. METHODS: Isolates were evaluated for genotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility ... -
Memory for staged events: supporting older and younger adults’ memory with SenseCam
(2019-04-01)Two experiments measured the effect of retrieval support provided by a wearable camera, SenseCam, on older and younger adults’ memory for a recently experienced complex staged event. In each experiment participants completed ... -
Assessment and diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder: The experiences of speech and language therapists
(2019-05-09)Background: For many years research and practice have noted the impact of the heterogeneous nature of Developmental Language Disorder (also known as language impairment or specific language impairment) on diagnosis and ... -
Mother's experiences of the transition of young people with autism spectrum disorder to adult care
(2019-07-03)Purpose: Research has shown that the transition planning of young people with autism spectrum disorders from child to adult-directed services, to be both problematic and limited in function. Mothers of children with autism ... -
A Review of Structural Health Monitoring Techniques as Applied to Composite Structures
(2017-10-01)Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the process of collecting, interpreting, and analysing data from structures in order to determine its health status and the remaining life span. Composite materials have been extensively ... -
Does the Appearance of a Robot Influence People's Perception of Task Criticality?
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-11-08)As home robot companions become more common, it is important to understand what types of tasks are considered critical to perform correctly. This paper provides working definitions of task criticality, physical and cognitive ... -
Deciding Reachability for Piecewise Constant Derivative Systems on Orientable Manifolds
(Springer, 2019-09-06)A hybrid automaton is a finite state machine combined with some k real-valued continuous variables, where k determines the number of the automaton dimensions. This formalism is widely used for modelling safety-critical ... -
Analysis of the Response of Modal Parameters to Damage in CFRP Laminates Using a Novel Modal Identification Method
(2019-10-30)Nowadays, composite materials are widely used in several industries, e.g. the aeronautical, automotive, and marine, due to their excellent properties, such as stiffness and strength to weight ratios and high resistance to ... -
Addressing Obesity in Stevenage, Hertfordshire: A Consultation with Young People
(University of Hertfordshire, 2019-12-13)Public Health England have identified that almost a quarter of children are overweight when they start primary school, which increases to a third when they leave in year 6 aged 10-11 years. This has implications for young ... -
Peptidylarginine Deiminase Isozyme-Specific PAD2, PAD3 and PAD4 Inhibitors Differentially Modulate Extracellular Vesicle Signatures and Cell Invasion in Two Glioblastoma Multiforme Cell Lines
(2020-02-22)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive adult brain tumour with poor prognosis. Roles for peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) in GBM have recently been highlighted. Here, two GBM cell lines were treated with PAD2, ... -
ATLASGAL -- physical parameters of dust clumps associated with 6.7 GHz methanol masers
(2019-12-01)We have constructed the largest sample of dust-associated class II 6.7 GHz methanol masers yet obtained. New measurements from the the Methanol MultiBeam (MMB) Survey were combined with the 870 $\mu$m APEX Telescope Large ... -
Cloud G074.11+00.11: a stellar cluster in formation
(2019-10-01)We present molecular line and dust continuum observations of a Planck-detected cold cloud, G074.11+00.11. The cloud consists of a system of curved filaments and a central star-forming clump. The clump is associated with ... -
Inhibition-Related Cortical Hypoconnectivity as a Candidate Vulnerability Marker for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(2020-02)BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent neuropsychiatric condition, with biological models implicating disruption of cortically mediated inhibitory control pathways, ordinarily serving to regulate ... -
Literacy improves short-term serial recall of spoken verbal but not visuospatial items - Evidence from illiterate and literate adults
