The colouring, sealing and abrasion resistance of anodic oxide coatings by Smith, Marilyn

“…The assumption is made that Yt (25[degrees]C ) = a + bt and linear regression has been used to find b. It has been found that for batches having a range of thicknesses but a common sealing time, the linear relation is a reasonable assumption when the gradient is <+10. …”

mGlu5 receptors and cellular prion protein mediate amyloid-β-facilitated synaptic long-term depression in vivo by Hu, Neng-Wei, Nicoll, Andrew J., Zhang, Dainan, Mably, Alexandra J., O’Malley, Tiernan, Purro, Silvia A., Terry, Cassandra, Collinge, John, Walsh, Dominic M., Rowan, Michael J.

“…Blocking Aβ binding to cellular prion protein with antibodies prevents the facilitation of long-term depression. Our findings uncover an overarching role for Aβ-PrP(C)-mGlu5R interplay in mediating both LTD facilitation and LTP inhibition, encompassing NMDAR-mediated processes that were previously considered primary.…”

Transformational jewellery: practice-based research on the relationship between transformation and emotional attachment by Kim, Min Sun

“…The chief aims of this practice-based research are to investigate the nature of attachment between person and object in respect to transformation; to find ways in which objects (jewellery) can be transformed to engender a wearer’s emotional attachment; and to demonstrate the different ways of applying such transformations that are pertinent to jewellery. …”

Inter-individual responses to a blueberry intervention across multiple endpoints by Wang, Yueyue, Haskell-Ramsay, Crystal, Gallegos, Jose Lara, Lodge, John K.

“…To conclude, this is the first blueberry intervention applying quartile divisions to characterise individual responses in vascular and cognitive endpoints following a specific dietary intervention; however, we did not find any consistency in the individual responses to the interventions, and we could not identify a predictive urinary metabolite as a potential biomarker for differentiation between responders and non-responders. …”
