A novel role for small molecule glycomimetics in the protection against lipid-induced endothelial dysfunction : Involvement of Akt/eNOS and Nrf2/ARE signaling (2016)
Journal Article
Mahmoud, A., Wilkinson, F., Jones, A., Wilkinson, J., Romero, M., Duarte, J., & Alexander, M. (2017). A novel role for small molecule glycomimetics in the protection against lipid-induced endothelial dysfunction : Involvement of Akt/eNOS and Nrf2/ARE signaling. BBA - General Subjects, 1861(1.A), 3311-3322. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbagen.2016.08.013

Background: Glycomimetics are a diverse array of saccharide-inspired compounds, designed to mimic the bioactive functions of glycosaminoglycans. Therefore, glycomimetics represent a unique source of novel therapies to target aberrant signaling and...

A speculative approach to spatial-temporal efficiency with multi-objective optimization in a heterogeneous cloud environment (2016)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Cai, W., Shen, J., Fu, Z., Liu, X., & Linge, N. (2016). A speculative approach to spatial-temporal efficiency with multi-objective optimization in a heterogeneous cloud environment. Security and Communication Networks, 9(17), 4002-4012. https://doi.org/10.1002/sec.1582

A heterogeneous cloud system, for example, a Hadoop 2.6.0 platform, provides distributed but cohesive services with rich features on large‐scale management, reliability, and error tolerance. As big data processing is concerned, newly built cloud clus...

Considerations in the valuation of urban green space : accounting for user participation (2016)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2016). Considerations in the valuation of urban green space : accounting for user participation. Ecosystem Services, 21(Part A), 120-129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2016.08.003

Within the ecosys­tem ser­vices frame­work, val­u­a­tions of nat­ural cap­i­tal have pri­mar­ily taken a land­scape-scale ap­proach. The gen­er­a­tion of trans­fer­able mon­e­tary val­ues for in­di­vid­ual ecosys­tems has like­wise de­pended on as­se...

Design and analysis of a bio-inspired module-based robotic arm (2016)
Journal Article
Luo, Z., Shang, J., Wei, G., & Renaut, L. (2016). Design and analysis of a bio-inspired module-based robotic arm. Mechanical Sciences, 7(2), 155-166. https://doi.org/10.5194/ms-7-155-2016

This paper presents a novel bio-inspired modular robotic arm that is purely evolved and developed from a mechanical stem cell. Inspired by stem cell whilst different from the other robot "cell" or "molecule", a fundamental mechanical stem cell is pro...

Variation in multitrack mixes : analysis of low-level audio signal features (2016)
Journal Article
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2016). Variation in multitrack mixes : analysis of low-level audio signal features. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 64(7/8), 466-473. https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2016.0029

To further the development of intelligent music production tools, towards generating mixes that would realistically be created by a human mix-engineer, it is important to understand what kind of mixes can be created, and are typically created, by h...

Sex change and effective population size : implications for population genetic studies in marine fish (2016)
Journal Article
Coscia, I., Chopelet, J., Waples, R., Mann, B., & Mariani, S. (2016). Sex change and effective population size : implications for population genetic studies in marine fish. Heredity, 117, 251-258. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2016.50

Large variance in reproductive success is the primary factor that reduces effective population size (Ne) in natural populations. In sequentially hermaphroditic (‘sex-changing’) fish, the sex ratio is typically skewed and biased toward the ‘first’...

Cloud Computing allows firms to outsource their entire information technology (IT) process, allowing them to concentrate more on their core business to enhance their productivity and innovation in offering services to customers. It allows businesses... Read More about Identifying cloud security threats to strengthen cloud computing adoption framework.

Insights into the migration of the European Roller from ring recoveries (2016)
Journal Article
Finch, T., Dunning, J., Kiss, O., Račinskis, E., Schwartz, T., Sniauksta, L., …Butler, S. (2016). Insights into the migration of the European Roller from ring recoveries. Journal of Ornithology, 158(1), 83-90. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10336-016-1374-y

AbstractDespite recent advances in avian tracking technology, archival devices still present several limitations. Traditional ring recoveries provide a complementary method for studying migratory movements, particularly for cohorts of birds with a lo...

Subjective dominance as a basis for selecting frequency weightings (2016)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., Flindell, I., & Self, R. (2016). Subjective dominance as a basis for selecting frequency weightings. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 140(2), 843-854. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4960518

The objective of this paper is to propose and illustrate a simple approach for the selection of frequency weightings for the assessment of environmental and transportation noise. In recent years, the A-frequency weighting has become almost universa... Read More about Subjective dominance as a basis for selecting frequency weightings.
