Vegetation response to climate change: a functional traits-based approach by Kühn, N

“…The responses of vegetation to climate changes (particularly water availability in the world’s drylands) constitute a critical and timely research agenda, with potentially significant ecological consequences. This doctoral thesis aimed to investigate vegetation response to climate change using a plant functional traits-based approach, with a specific focus on root traits in Southern Africa by undertaking three interlinked research objectives:</p> <p>i) <strong>Determination of globally important plant functional traits for coping with climate change (Chapter 4; Research Paper 1).…”

Case finding and therapy for chronic viral hepatitis in primary care (HepFREE): a cluster-randomised controlled trial by Flanagan, S, Kunkel, J, Appleby, V, Eldridge, SE, Ismail, S, Moreea, S, Griffiths, C, Walton, R, Pitt, M, Salmon, A, Madurasinghe, V, Barnes, E, Simms, E, Agarwal, K, Foster, GR

“…<br/><br/> <strong>Interpretation</strong> Screening migrants for viral hepatitis in primary care is effective if doctors are incentivised and supported. Community care is expensive and there is no evidence that this offers benefits in this setting or that bespoke invitation letters add value. …”

Longer-term efficiency and safety of increasing the frequency of whole blood donation (INTERVAL): extension study of a randomised trial of 20 757 blood donors by Kaptoge, S, Di Angelantonio, E, Moore, C, Walker, M, Armitage, J, Ouwehand, W, Roberts, D, Danesh, J, Thompson, S, INTERVAL Trial Group

“…No differences were observed in quality of life, serious adverse events, or self-reported symptoms (p&gt;0.0001 for tests of linear trend by inter-donation intervals) other than a higher reported frequency of doctor-diagnosed low iron concentrations and prescription of iron supplements in men (p&lt;0·0001).…”

A computer-aided tracking and motion analysis with ultrasound system for describing hip joint kinematics by Jia, R

“…However, the accuracy of the original MAUS system was highly dependent on the operator's experience.</p> <p>In this doctoral thesis, a computer-aided tracking and motion analysis with ultrasound (CAT &amp; MAUS) system is developed to track underlying bony landmarks and describe hip joint kinematics during gait. …”

Two speeds of increasing milk feeds for very preterm or very low-birthweight infants: the SIFT RCT by Dorling, J, Hewer, O, Hurd, M, Bari, V, Bosiak, B, Bowler, U, King, A, Linsell, L, Murray, D, Omar, O, Partlett, C, Rounding, C, Townend, J, Abbott, J, Berrington, J, Boyle, E, Embleton, N, Johnson, S, Leaf, A, McCormick, K, McGuire, W, Patel, M, Roberts, T, Stenson, B, Tahir, W, Monahan, M, Richards, J, Rankin, J, Juszczak, E

“…The secondary outcomes were mortality; moderate or severe neurodevelopmental disability at 24 months corrected for gestational age; death before discharge home; microbiologically confirmed or clinically suspected late-onset sepsis; necrotising enterocolitis (Bell’s stage 2 or 3); time taken to reach full milk feeds (tolerating 150 ml/kg/day for 3 consecutive days); growth from birth to discharge; duration of parenteral feeding; time in intensive care; duration of hospital stay; diagnosis of cerebral palsy by a doctor or other health professional; and individual components of the definition of moderate or severe neurodevelopmental disability.…”

Beyond the burning centre of cataclysm: Reception of Eastern Europe in poetry and criticism of mid-1960s Britain by Majak, A

“…<p>This doctoral thesis explores how, from the mid-1960s, the influx of Eastern European poetry in translation galvanised specific developments in the Anglophone lyric and literary criticism of late modernism. …”
