High frequency of infection of lung cancer patients with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (2019)
Journal Article

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that can cause a wide range of clinical conditions, including miscarriage and pneumonia. The global prevalence is 30% in humans but varies locally (e.g. UK is typically 10%). The association be...

Parametric Sensitivity Analyses for Perceived Impedance in Haptic Teleoperation (2019)
Journal Article
Uddin, R., Saleem, M. H., & Ryu, J. (2019). Parametric Sensitivity Analyses for Perceived Impedance in Haptic Teleoperation. International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems, 17(8), 2083-2096. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12555-018-0614-8

In this paper, sensitivity analyses (SA) are performed in order to find the effect of variations of master/slave site dynamics parameters on the perceived impedance in haptic teleoperation in the absence/presence of communication time delays. These a... Read More about Parametric Sensitivity Analyses for Perceived Impedance in Haptic Teleoperation.

Embryonic and fetal development of the red brocket deer (Mazama americana) (2019)
Journal Article

The red brocket deer (Mazama americana), a medium-sized Neotropical ungulate, is one of the most hunted mammals in the Amazon. This study analyzes the intrauterine development in the red brocket deer through the description of the external and intern...

An emerging consensus in the evolution, phylogeny, and systematics of marsupials and their fossil relatives (Metatheria) (2019)
Journal Article

Marsupials and their fossil relatives, which collectively comprise Metatheria, have been of scientific interest for centuries, with many aspects of their evolution and systematics subject to intense research and debate. Here, we review progress over... Read More about An emerging consensus in the evolution, phylogeny, and systematics of marsupials and their fossil relatives (Metatheria).

Primary cilia defects causing mitral valve prolapse (2019)
Journal Article

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects 1 in 40 people and is the most common indication for mitral valve surgery. MVP can cause arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death, and to date, the causes of this disease are poorly understood. We now d...

Quantifying the hidden costs of imperfect detection for early detection surveillance (2019)
Journal Article
Mastin, A., van den Bosch, F., van den Berg, F., & Parnell, S. (2019). Quantifying the hidden costs of imperfect detection for early detection surveillance. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 374(1776), 20180261. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2018.0261

The global spread of pathogens poses an increasing threat to health, ecosystems, and agriculture worldwide. As early detection of new incursions is key to effective control, new diagnostic tests which can detect pathogen presence shortly after initia...
