Geographical location influences the composition of the gut microbiota in wild house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) at a fine spatial scale. (2019)
Journal Article

The composition of the mammalian gut microbiota can be influenced by a multitude of environmental variables such as diet and infections. Studies investigating the effect of these variables on gut microbiota composition often sample across multiple se...

Pruning neural networks using multi-armed bandits (2019)
Journal Article

The successful application of deep learning has led to increasing expectations
of their use in embedded systems. This in turn, has created the need to find
ways of reducing the size of neural networks. Decreasing the size of a neural
network requi... Read More about Pruning neural networks using multi-armed bandits.

Viewpoint : graphene is thin, but not infinitely so (2019)
Journal Article
Proctor, J. (2019). Viewpoint : graphene is thin, but not infinitely so. Physics - Spotlighting Exceptional Research, 12, 104-104. https://doi.org/10.1103/Physics.12.104

Atomically thin graphene is considered a prototypical 2D material, but high-pressure experiments now reveal the 3D nature of its mechanical properties.

Rolling to mechanisation : excavations at Lymm Slitting Mill (2019)
Journal Article

An archaeological excavation at Lymm slitting mill in Cheshire was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North in 2005 as a key component of the Lymm's Life Project, which was financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The slitting mill was established in the... Read More about Rolling to mechanisation : excavations at Lymm Slitting Mill.

Homotopy semi-numerical modeling of non-Newtonian nanofluid transport external to multiple geometries using a revised Buongiorno Model (2019)
Journal Article

A semi-analytical solution for the convection of a power-law nanofluid external to three different geometries (i.e. cone, wedge and plate), subject to convective boundary condition is presented. A revised Buongiorno model is employed for the nanoflui...

Rigid origami, which can be regarded as assemblies of spherical linkages, inspires a new paradigm of design for mechanical metamaterials and deployable structural systems with large deployable ratio. In this paper, the kinematic properties of assembl... Read More about Mobile assemblies of four-spherical-4R-integrated linkages and the associated four-crease-integrated rigid origami patterns.

Perivascular adipose tissue contributes to the modulation of vascular tone in vivo (2019)
Journal Article
Saxton, S., Withers, S., Nyvad, J., Mazur, A., Matchkov, V., Heagerty, A., & Aalkjær, C. (2019). Perivascular adipose tissue contributes to the modulation of vascular tone in vivo. Journal of Vascular Research, 56(6), 320-332. https://doi.org/10.1159/000502689

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) reduces vascular tone in isolated arteries in vitro, however there are no studies of PVAT effects on vascular tone in vivo. In vitro adipocyte β3-adrenoceptors play a role in PVAT function via secretion of the vasod... Read More about Perivascular adipose tissue contributes to the modulation of vascular tone in vivo.

Predicting biodiversity loss in island and countryside ecosystems through the lens of taxonomic and functional biogeography (2019)
Journal Article

Sirtuin family members selectively regulate autophagy in osteosarcoma and mesothelioma cells in response to cellular stress (2019)
Journal Article

The class III NAD+ dependent deacetylases-sirtuins (SIRTs) link transcriptional regulation to DNA damage response and reactive oxygen species generation thereby modulating a wide range of cellular signalling pathways. Here the contribution of SIRT1,... Read More about Sirtuin family members selectively regulate autophagy in osteosarcoma and mesothelioma cells in response to cellular stress.
