Seasonality and age is positively related to brain size in Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi) (2015)
Journal Article
Jiang, A., Zhong, M., Xie, M., Lou, S., Yin, L., Jehle, R., & Liao, W. (2015). Seasonality and age is positively related to brain size in Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi). Evolutionary Biology, 42(3), 339-348. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11692-015-9329-4

The Expensive Brain Framework (EBF) and the Cognitive Buffer Hypothesis are commonly used to explain inter- and intraspecific variation in brain size and brain architecture. Using Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi) as a model species, we investigated whet... Read More about Seasonality and age is positively related to brain size in Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi).

The effect of 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (TBQ) on intracellular Ca(2+) handling in rat ventricular myocytes (2015)
Journal Article
Miller, L., Greensmith, D., Sankaranarayanan, R., O'Neill, S., & Eisner, D. (2015). The effect of 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (TBQ) on intracellular Ca(2+) handling in rat ventricular myocytes. Cell Calcium, 58(2), 208-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceca.2015.05.002

2,5-Di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (TBQ) is a reversible inhibitor of SERCA, potentially making it a useful tool to study the effects of SERCA inhibition in cardiac cells. However, it is unknown if TBQ also has effects on other components of v...

Fast time domain modeling of surface scattering from reflectors and diffusers (2015)
Journal Article
Cox, T. (2015). Fast time domain modeling of surface scattering from reflectors and diffusers. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 137(6), 483-489. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4921675

Time-domain prediction models have been developed for
auditorium reflectors and room acoustic diffusers. The models are time-domain equivalents of the single-frequency formulations that exploit the Kirchhoff boundary conditions. Consequently, they a... Read More about Fast time domain modeling of surface scattering from reflectors and diffusers.

Raumplan after Loos : the European work of Heinrich Kulka, 1930-1939 (2015)
Journal Article
Poppelreuter, T. (2015). Raumplan after Loos : the European work of Heinrich Kulka, 1930-1939. Fabrications, 25(1), 84-103. https://doi.org/10.1080/10331867.2015.1006761

This paper analyses a selection of houses built by Heinrich Kulka between 1930 and 1939 that were influenced by the spatial design that Kulka termed “Raumplan” in the first monograph on his teacher Adolf Loos in 1931. The exterior organisation and th... Read More about Raumplan after Loos : the European work of Heinrich Kulka, 1930-1939.

The Lateglacial and Holocene in Central Europe : a multi-proxy environmental record from the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic (2015)
Journal Article
Vocadlova, K., Petr, L., Zackova, P., Krızek, M., Krızova, L., Hutchinson, S., & Sobr, M. (2015). The Lateglacial and Holocene in Central Europe : a multi-proxy environmental record from the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic. Boreas, 44(4), 769-784. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12126

The Hercynian mountain ranges were islands of mountain glaciation and alpine tundra in a Central European ice-free corridor during the Late Pleistocene. Today they are notable areas of glacial landforms, alpine-forest free areas, peatlands and woodla...

On the asymptotic evolution of finite energy Airy wavefunctions (2015)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Sanchez-Curto, J., Aceves, A., & McDonald, G. (2015). On the asymptotic evolution of finite energy Airy wavefunctions. Optics Letters, 40(12), 2850-2853. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.40.002850

In general, there is an inverse relation between the degree of localization of a wavefunction of a certain class and its transform representation dictated by the scaling property of the Fourier transform. We report that in the case of finite energy A... Read More about On the asymptotic evolution of finite energy Airy wavefunctions.

Experimental investigation of the aeroelastic behavior of a complex prismatic element (2015)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., Freda, A., Solari, G., & Tubino, F. (2015). Experimental investigation of the aeroelastic behavior of a complex prismatic element. Wind and Structures, 20(5), 683-699. https://doi.org/10.12989/was.2015.20.5.683

Lighting poles and antenna masts are typically high, slender and light structures. Moreover, they are often characterized by distributed eccentricities that make very complex their shape. Experience teaches that this structural type frequently suffer... Read More about Experimental investigation of the aeroelastic behavior of a complex prismatic element.

E-learning for project management (2015)
Journal Article
Ellis, R., Thorpe, T., & Wood, G. (2015). E-learning for project management. Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, 156(3), 137-141. https://doi.org/10.1680/cien.2003.156.3.137

This paper examines the reasons for the apparent reluctance of civil engineers and other construction professionals to use computer-aided learning on distance-learning programmes and reports on the evaluation of a project-management CD-ROM. It conclu... Read More about E-learning for project management.

Integrated coastal zone management and its potential application to Antigua and Barbuda (2015)
Journal Article
Ramsey, V., Cooper, J., & Yates, K. (2015). Integrated coastal zone management and its potential application to Antigua and Barbuda. Ocean and Coastal Management, 118(Part B), 259-274. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2015.04.017

Coastal resources are an essential asset for many nations, particularly small island nations, whose dependency upon coastal resources is especially high. Antigua and Barbuda has a population of approximately 85,000, of which a high percentage either...
