Longstanding complex regional pain syndrome is associated with activating autoantibodies against alpha-1a adrenoceptors (2014)
Journal Article

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a limb-confined posttraumatic pain syndrome with sympathetic features. The cause is unknown, but the results of a randomized crossover trial on low-dose intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) treatment point to a...

Nitrogen transformations and mass balance in an integrated constructed wetland treating domestic wastewater (2014)
Journal Article
Dzakpasu, M., Scholz, M., McCarthy, V., & Jordan, S. (2014). Nitrogen transformations and mass balance in an integrated constructed wetland treating domestic wastewater. Water Science and Technology, 70(9), 1496-1502. https://doi.org/10.2166/wst.2014.402

Nitrogen (N) transformations and removal in integrated constructed wetlands (ICWs) are often high,
but the contributions of various pathways, including nitrification/denitrification, assimilation by
plants and sediment storage, remain unclear. This... Read More about Nitrogen transformations and mass balance in an integrated constructed wetland treating domestic wastewater.

Bacteriological effects of dentifrices with and without active ingredients of natural origin (2014)
Journal Article
Ledder, R., Latimer, J., Humphreys, G., Sreenivasan, P., & McBain, A. (2014). Bacteriological effects of dentifrices with and without active ingredients of natural origin. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 80(20), 6490-6498. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.02315-14

Compounds of natural origin are increasingly used as adjuncts to oral hygiene. We have adopted four distinct approaches to assess the antibacterial activity of dentifrices containing natural active ingredients against oral bacteria in several test sy...

Ab initio study of structural and electronic properties of partially reduced graphene oxide (2014)
Journal Article
Lundie, M., Tomic, S., & Sljivancanin, Z. (2014). Ab initio study of structural and electronic properties of partially reduced graphene oxide. Physica Scripta, 2014(T162), 014019. https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-8949/2014/T162/014019

Controlled reduction of graphene oxide (GO) is a promising method to tune the electronic band gap of this two-dimensional material in the energy range of the visible light spectrum. By means of ab initio calculations, based on density functional theo... Read More about Ab initio study of structural and electronic properties of partially reduced graphene oxide.

UK construction companies’ strategies in the face of business cycles (2014)
Journal Article
Ruddock, L., Kheir, A., & Ruddock, S. (2014). UK construction companies’ strategies in the face of business cycles. International Journal of Strategic Property Management, 18(3), 225-237. https://doi.org/10.3846/1648715X.2014.927400

Firms in the construction industry have always had to deal with the challenges of the economic cycle and develop strategies to deal with the resulting fluctuations in their business environment. In the context of the 2008–2011 double-dip recession in... Read More about UK construction companies’ strategies in the face of business cycles.

The binomial-neighbour instance-based learner on a multiclass performance measure scheme (2014)
Journal Article
Theodoridis, T., & Hu, H. (2015). The binomial-neighbour instance-based learner on a multiclass performance measure scheme. Soft Computing, 19(10), 2973-2981. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-014-1461-z

This paper presents a novel instance-based learning methodology the Binomial-Neighbour (B-N) algorithm. Unlike to other k-Nearest Neighbour algorithms, B-N employs binomial search through vectors of statistical features and distance primitives. The b...

Exercising for food : bringing the laboratory closer to nature (2014)
Journal Article

Traditionally, exercise physiology experiments have borne little
resemblance to how animals express physical activity in the wild. In
this experiment, 15 adult male rats were divided into three equalsized
groups: exercise contingent (CON), non-exe... Read More about Exercising for food : bringing the laboratory closer to nature.

A new methodology for designing energy efficient buildings in neighbourhoods (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Within the frame of the recently launched EU project “Design4Energy” an attempt is being made to develop a design methodology that is able to create energy-efficient buildings within the context of their neighbourhoods. The work presented in this pap... Read More about A new methodology for designing energy efficient buildings in neighbourhoods.
