An experimental investigation of diffuse optical scattering from stationary and flowing dispersions by Wood, Peter Robert

“…These are applied to monodisperse spherical latexes where the results are compared with theories of radiative transport, and also to plate-like Kaolinite particles where non-random particle orientation by shear flow is studied at small and large Reynolds number. …”

Ex vivomammalian prions are formed of paired double helical prion protein fibrils by Terry, Cassandra, Wenborn, Adam, Gros, Nathalie, Sells, Jessica, Joiner, Susan, Hosszu, Laszlo L. P., Tattum, M. Howard, Panico, Silvia, Clare, Daniel K., Collinge, John, Saibil, Helen R., Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F.

“…Recently, we developed novel methods to obtain exceptionally pure preparations of prions from mouse brain and showed that pathogenic PrP in these high-titre preparations is assembled into rod-like assemblies. Here, we have used precise cell culture-based prion infectivity assays to define the physical relationship between the PrP rods and prion infectivity and have used electron tomography to define their architecture. …”

Prion 2016 poster abstracts by Terry, Cassandra, Wenborn, Adam, Gros, Nathalie, Sells, Jessica, Joiner, Susan, Hosszu, Laszlo L. P., Tattum, M. Howard, Panico, Silvia, Clare, Daniel K., Collinge, John, Saibil, Helen R., Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F.

“…We have recently developed novel methods to obtain exceptionally pure preparations of prions from prion-infected murine brain and have shown that pathogenic PrP in these high-titer preparations is assembled into rod-like assemblies (Wenborn et al. 2015. Sci. Rep. 10062). …”

Fine motor skills and unsystematic spatial binding in the common region test (CRT): under-inclusivity in ASD and over-inclusivity in ADHD by Lange-Kuettner, Christiane, Kochhar, Ridhi

“…Almost all children with ASD presented the less mature under-inclusive Type I unsystematic coding which included object-place binding, while children with ADHD showed the overinclusive Type II unsystematic coding that was overriding the Gestalt-like properties of proximity and similarity. Conclusions: It was demonstrated that the CRT is a useful screening instrument for ASD and ADHD that shows that their spatial categorization varies in their unsystematic visuo-spatial classification due to fine motor skill deficiencies.…”

Highly infectious prions are not directly neurotoxic by Benilova, Iryna, Reilly, Madeleine, Terry, Cassandra, Wenborn, Adam, Schmidt, Christian, Marinho, Aline T., Risse, Emmanuel, Al-Doujaily, Huda, Wiggins De Oliveira, Michael, Sandberga, Malin K., Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F., Jat, Parmjit S, Collinge, John

“…While it has long been assumed that prions are themselves neurotoxic, recent devel- opment of methods to obtain exceptionally pure prions from mouse brain with maintained strain characteristics, and in which defined structures—paired rod-like double helical fibers—can be definitively correlated with infectivity, allowed a direct test of this assertion. …”

Where have all the followers gone? by Schedlitzki, Doris, Kempster, Steve, Edwards, Gareth

“…This leads us to questions like: what if follower identifications do not typically exist or are rejected in everyday organisational working contexts – despite discursive labelling of individuals as followers or following practices? …”

GLP-2 decreases food intake in the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) through Exendin (9-39) in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by Sun, Huiling, Meng, Kai, Hou, Lin, Shang, Lijun, Yan, Jianqun

“…Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2), a member of Glucagon peptide family involved in regulating energy metabolism, can be produced and secreted by preproglucagonergic (PPG) neurons in the brain. …”

Qualitative network analysis for migration studies: beyond metaphors and epistemological pitfalls by Ryan, Louise, Dahinden, Janine

“…We draw upon the early roots of social network research, within anthropology, to find inspiration and consider the contribution of qualitative approaches to analysing dynamic social relationships and to including neglected aspects like meaning making and agency. Adopting a reflexive approach enables us to de‐migranticise our research turning the role of migration and ethnicity for social networks into an empirical question rather than taking them as an essentialist starting point for investigation. …”

Reading suburban narratives by Pope, Gerald

“…The suburban body itself, in so much suburban-set fiction, becomes the site of this struggle, portrayed as thing- like, as ineffectual and powerless, as sickly or diseased, as comic and absurd. …”

Applying artificial intelligence in healthcare: lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic by Balasubramanian, Sreejith, Shukla, Vinaya, Islam, Nazrul, Upadhyay, Arvind, Duong, Linh

“…The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global healthcare systems and highlighted the need for innovative, technology-driven solutions like Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, previous research on the topic has been limited and fragmented, leading to an incomplete understanding of the ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘how’ of its application, as well as its associated benefits and challenges. …”

An analysis of the mediational effect of socio-cultural factors on students' career choice outcomes in the built environment: applying the socio-cognitive career theory by Akinlolu, Mariam, Omotayo, Temitope, Ebohon, Obas John, Ekundayo, Damilola

“…The study culminated in unveiling pathways for informed career decisions in construction, reinforcing the pertinence of the SCCT framework, especially concerning women in traditionally male-dominated spheres like construction. Acknowledging the scarcity of empirical studies using SCCT within the construction sphere is pertinent.…”
