Young people, new technologies and learning at home: taking context seriously af Furlong, J, Davies, C

“...The paper presents findings from a large-scale mixed methods study of young people's uses of new technologies at home to address a number of key conceptual issues in understanding the home as context for learning. ...”

Shape-morphing of an artificial protein cage with unusual geometry induced by a single amino acid change af Sharma, M, Biela, AP, Kowalczyk, A, Borzęcka-Solarz, K, Piette, BMAG, Gaweł, S, Bishop, J, Kukura, P, Benesch, JLP, Imamura, M, Scheuring, S, Heddle, JG

“...This symmetry change is accompanied by a decrease in the number of Au(I)-mediated bonds between cysteines and a concomitant change in biophysical properties of the cage....”

Natural convection effects in electrochemical systems af Novev, Y, Compton, R

“...Particular attention is devoted to a critical assessment of the concept of ‘spontaneous convection’, which has been invoked in a number of recent papers. ...”

Chronic, treatment-resistant depression and right fronto-striatal atrophy. af Shah, P, Glabus, M, Goodwin, G, Ebmeier, K

“...Atrophy was confirmed on volumetric analysis, the degree correlating with the cumulative number of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatments received, suggesting an acquired deficit. ...”

Acute compartment syndrome: Reducing the risk af Pearse, M, Nanchahal, J

“...Although there is commonly a history of trauma there are a number of causes of compartment syndrome, which includes iatrogenic insults. ...”

Understanding the private-public school performance gap in PISA: evidence from Portugal af Colaço, R, Freitas, P, Nunes, LC, Reis, AB

“...When PISA sampling weights are used, the number of students enrolled in those types of schools and specific grades/tracks of study differs significantly from official population figures. ...”

Real-time modelling of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in England 2020-2023: a challenging data integration af Birrell, PJ, Blake, J, Kandiah, J, Alexopoulos, A, van Leeuwen, E, Pouwels, K, Ghosh, S, Starr, C, Walker, AS, House, T, Gay, N, Finnie, T, Gent, N, Charlett, A, De Angelis, D

“...We present a full range of estimates of the epidemic history and the changing severity of the infection, quantify the impact of the vaccination programme and deconstruct contributing factors to the reproduction number. We further investigate the sensitivity of model-derived insights to the availability and timeliness of prevalence data, identifying its importance to the production of robust estimates....”

Generalised Covariance Union: A Unified Approach to Hypothesis Merging in Tracking af Reece, S, Roberts, S

“...Multi-hypothesis tracking (MHT) techniques can become prohibitively computationally expensive as the number of hypotheses increases. In order to maintain an estimate with bounded computational cost, multi-hypothesis methods often merge the estimates together. ...”

Narrative understanding af Prescott-Couch, A

“...Much work in history, anthropology, sociology, and political science has a narrative form — the events described are emplotted into stories. A number of recent critics of narrative have argued that the story form is a poor vehicle for social scientific explanation, as it often misleads us about the causal structure of the social world. ...”

Standardising RNA profiling based biomarker application in cancer—The need for robust control of technical variables af Stewart, J, Richman, S, Maughan, T, Lawler, M, Dunne, P, Salto-Tellez, M

“...In this review of a large number of CRC transcriptional studies, we identify recurrent sources of technical variability that encompass collection, preservation and storage of malignant tissue, nucleic acid extraction, methods to quantitate RNA transcripts and data analysis pipelines. ...”

Make Up Your Mind! Adversarial Generation of Inconsistent Natural Language Explanations af Camburu, O-M, Shillingford, B, Minervini, P, Lukasiewicz, T, Blunsom, P

“...Our framework shows that this model is capable of generating a significant number of inconsistent explanations....”

Search for charged Higgs bosons in e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 172 GeV af Abreu, P, Adam, W, Adye, T, Adzic, P, Alekseev, G, Alemany, R, Allport, P, Almehed, S, Amaldi, U, Amato, S, Andersson, P, Andreazza, A, Antilogus, P, Apel, W, Arnoud, Y, Asman, B, Augustin, J, Augustinus, A, Baillon, P, Bambade, P, Barao, F, Barbier, R, Bardin, D, Barker, G, Baroncelli, A

“...Recently, mutations in a number of novel genes have been associated with Lower Motor Neuron (HSPB1, HSPB8, GARS, Dynactin), Upper Motor Neuron (Spastin, Atlastin, Paraplegin, HSP60, KIF5A, NIPA1) or mixed ALS-like phenotypes (Alsin, Senataxin, VAPB, BSCL2). ...”

Asymptotic analysis of optimal vaccination policies af Penn, MJ, Donnelly, C
