Relationship between road and railway noise annoyance and overall indoor sound exposure (2010)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., Ruiz, D., De Coensel, B., Botteldooren, D., Berglund, B., & Ramos-Ridao, A. (2011). Relationship between road and railway noise annoyance and overall indoor sound exposure. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 16(1), 15-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2010.07.012

Using data from a realistic experiment conducted using recorded traffic sounds, the relationship
between indicators of magnitude, spectrum, and temporal evolution of the sonic
environment and the reported annoyance are analyzed. The exposure is cha... Read More about Relationship between road and railway noise annoyance and overall indoor sound exposure.

Phagocytosis of biocompatible gold nanoparticles (2010)

We report the evidence for the cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles via the phagocytosis mechanism in murine macrophage cells strongly supported by TEM and optical microscopy. Nanoparticles were prepared using several biocompatible molecules of choi... Read More about Phagocytosis of biocompatible gold nanoparticles.

Spectroscopy of bismuth-doped lead–aluminum–germanate glass and yttrium–aluminum–silicate glass (2010)
Journal Article
yttrium–aluminum–silicate glass. Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 356(44-49), 2302-2309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnoncrysol.2010.03.043

In this work we make a comparison between the spectroscopy of bismuth-doped lead–aluminum–
germanate (Bi:PAG) glass and bismuth-doped yttrium–aluminum–silicate (Bi:YAS) glass. We report the
variation in Bi absorption, emission and lifetime as the P... Read More about Spectroscopy of bismuth-doped lead–aluminum–germanate glass and yttrium–aluminum–silicate glass.

Long-term monitoring of tropical bats for anthropogenic impact assessment : gauging the statistical power to detect population change (2010)
Journal Article

Bats are ecologically important mammals in tropical ecosystems; however, their populations face numerous environmental threats related to climate change, habitat loss, fragmentation, hunting, and emerging diseases. Thus, there is a pressing need to d... Read More about Long-term monitoring of tropical bats for anthropogenic impact assessment : gauging the statistical power to detect population change.

Blue remembered skills : mental health awareness training for police officers (2010)

The Bradley Report (Bradley, 2009) has raised a number of
important questions regarding the treatment of individuals who are experiencing mental health problems and find themselves in the criminal justice system. One of the key recommendations is th... Read More about Blue remembered skills : mental health awareness training for police officers.

Patient perspective of systemic lupus erythematosus in relation to health-related quality of life concepts - a qualitative study (2010)
Journal Article

We sought to understand the patients’ ‘lived experiences of systemic lupus erythematosus
(SLE)’ by exploring, describing and clarifying the patients’ perspective of how they felt
about having SLE and how the disease impacted on their lives, both po... Read More about Patient perspective of systemic lupus erythematosus in relation to health-related quality of life concepts - a qualitative study.

The sexual health needs of looked after young people; findings from qualitative interviews led through public health and health psychology. (2010)
Journal Article
Dale, H., Watson, L., Adair, P., Moy, M., & Humphris, G. (2010). The sexual health needs of looked after young people; findings from qualitative interviews led through public health and health psychology. Journal of Public Health, 33(1), 86-92. https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdq055

Background - Looked after young people (LAYP) have poorer sexual health outcomes than their peers. However, research seldom examines the health needs of, or intervenes with, this group. The aim of the current study was to identify LAYP's perceived se...

Patellar tendon properties with fluctuating menstrual cycle hormones (2010)
Journal Article
Burgess, K., Pearson, S., & Onambele, G. (2010). Patellar tendon properties with fluctuating menstrual cycle hormones. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 24(8), 2088-2095. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e3181aeb12b

Debate continues over whether skeletal muscle performance and injury risk vary over the course of the menstrual cycle. Alterations in tendon properties may play a role in the potential fluctuations of both of these variables. The aim of the current s...

Improving the therapeutic design of healthcare environments (2010)
Journal Article
Osaji, E., & Price, A. (2010). Improving the therapeutic design of healthcare environments. Innovation & research focus, 6

For many years, there has been a prevailing belief that higher investment in the initial phases of healthcare infrastructure
projects not only reduces the life cycle costs but also improves, in the long term, service delivery and patient experience.... Read More about Improving the therapeutic design of healthcare environments.
