Axl tyrosine kinase protects against tubulo-interstitial apoptosis and progression of renal failure in a murine model of chronic kidney disease and hyperphosphataemia (2014)
Journal Article
Hyde, G. D., Taylor, R. F., Ashton, N., Borland, S. J., Sing Geoffrey Wu, H., Gilmore, A. P., & Canfield, A. E. (2014). Axl tyrosine kinase protects against tubulo-interstitial apoptosis and progression of renal failure in a murine model of chronic kidney disease and hyperphosphataemia. PloS one, 9(7), Article e102096. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0102096

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as the progressive loss of renal function often involving glomerular, tubulo- interstitial and vascular pathology. CKD is associated with vascular calcification; the extent of which predicts morbidity and morta...

Development of a social survey for the study of vibration annoyance in residential environments : good practice guidance (2014)
Journal Article

This paper outlines good practice guidelines for developing a social survey to investigate public annoyance in relation to environmental vibration. Drawing on the development of international good practice guidelines and research into noise and vibra...

Listening laboratory study of low height roadside noise barrier performance compared against in-situ field data (2014)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., & Flindell, I. (2014). Listening laboratory study of low height roadside noise barrier performance compared against in-situ field data. Building and Environment, 81, 216-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2014.07.006

A listening laboratory study conducted using simulated soundfields with and without a low (1 m) height
roadside noise barrier suggested that small but significant improvements in the perceived or subjective
soundscape could be achieved. The laborat... Read More about Listening laboratory study of low height roadside noise barrier performance compared against in-situ field data.

Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Mirzapour, M., & Mei, T. (2014, July). Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets. Presented at UKACC International Control Conference 2014, Loughborough

This paper studies a model-based approach for the condition monitoring of an actively controlled railway system, with a focus on actuator failures to detect and isolate failure modes in such a system. It seeks to establish the necessary basis for fau... Read More about Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets.

Biomechanical analysis of force distribution in human finger extensor mechanisms (2014)
Journal Article
Hu, D., Ren, L., Howard, D., & Zong, C. (2014). Biomechanical analysis of force distribution in human finger extensor mechanisms. BioMed Research International, 2014, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/743460

The complexities of the function and structure of human fingers have long been recognised. The in vivo forces in the human finger tendon network during different activities are critical information for clinical diagnosis, surgical treatment, prosthet...

Towards self-powered lateral active suspension for railway vehicles (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Wang, P., Mei, T., & Zhang, J. (2014, July). Towards self-powered lateral active suspension for railway vehicles. Presented at UKACC International Control Conference 2014, Loughborough

This paper investigates the energy consumption of the lateral secondary active suspension for railway vehicles and studies the conditions for self-powered active suspension control. The influence of the performance index weighting factors to both the... Read More about Towards self-powered lateral active suspension for railway vehicles.

An Immunological Marker of Tolerance to Infection in Wild Rodents (2014)
Journal Article

Hosts are likely to respond to parasitic infections by a combination of resistance (expulsion of pathogens) and tolerance(active mitigation of pathology). Of these strategies, the basis of tolerance in animal hosts is relatively poorly understood,wit... Read More about An Immunological Marker of Tolerance to Infection in Wild Rodents.

Discontinuous analysis of soil-arch interaction in masonry arch bridges (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Ahmad, S., Swift, G., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2014, July). Discontinuous analysis of soil-arch interaction in masonry arch bridges. Presented at 9th International Masonry Conference, Guimarães, Portugal

Back-filled masonry arches behave in a discontinuous manner, where deformation is governed by interaction at joints and the soil-masonry interface. A discrete element approach is used in order to explicitly model the interactions at discontinuities.... Read More about Discontinuous analysis of soil-arch interaction in masonry arch bridges.
