Managers do not see all environmental sustainability practices as equally important. Thus, this study seeks to
integrate the natural resource based view (NRBV) and materiality perspective to explore environmental sustainability
practices that firms... Read More about Sustainability and differentiation : understanding materiality from the context of Indian firms.

Adaptive learning with covariate shift-detection for motor imagery-based brain–computer interface (2015)
Journal Article
Raza, H., Cecotti, H., Li, Y., & Prasad, G. (2016). Adaptive learning with covariate shift-detection for motor imagery-based brain–computer interface. Soft Computing, 20(8), 3085-3096. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-015-1937-5

A common assumption in traditional supervised learning is the similar probability distribution of data between the training phase and the testing/operating phase. When transitioning from the training to testing phase, a shift in the probability distr...

Resilience building in students : the role of academic self-efficacy (2015)
Journal Article
Cassidy, S. (2015). Resilience building in students : the role of academic self-efficacy. Frontiers in Psychology, 6(1781), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01781

Self-efficacy relates to an individual’s perception of their capabilities. It has a clear self-evaluative dimension leading to high or low perceived self-efficacy. Individual differences in perceived self-efficacy have been shown to be better predict... Read More about Resilience building in students : the role of academic self-efficacy.

New models for describing outliers in meta-analysis (2015)
Journal Article
Baker, R., & Jackson, D. (2015). New models for describing outliers in meta-analysis. Research Synthesis Methods, 7(3), 314-328. https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1191

An unobserved random effect is often used to describe the between-study variation that is apparent in
meta-analysis datasets. A normally distributed random effect is conventionally used for this purpose. When
outliers or other unusual estimates are... Read More about New models for describing outliers in meta-analysis.

Is passive syntax semantically constrained? Evidence from adult grammaticality judgment and comprehension studies (2015)
Journal Article
Ambridge, B., Bidgood, A., Pine, J., Rowland, C., & Freudenthal, D. (2016). Is passive syntax semantically constrained? Evidence from adult grammaticality judgment and comprehension studies. Cognitive Science, 40(6), 1435-1459. https://doi.org/10.1111/cogs.12277

To explain the phenomenon that certain English verbs resist passivization (e.g., *£5 was cost by the book), Pinker (1989) proposed a semantic constraint on the passive in the adult grammar: The greater the extent to which a verb denotes an action whe...

Objective
Lateral wedge insoles are intended to reduce biomechanical risk factors of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as increased knee joint load; however, there has been no definitive consensus on this topic. The aim of this syst... Read More about Lateral wedge insoles for reducing biomechanical risk factors for medial knee osteoarthritis progression : a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Stationary rotary force waves on the liquid–air core interface of a swirl atomizer (2015)
Journal Article

A one-dimensional wave equation, applicable to the waves on the surface of the air-core of a swirl atomizer is derived analytically, by analogy to the similar one-dimensional wave equation derivation for shallowwater gravity waves. In addition an ana... Read More about Stationary rotary force waves on the liquid–air core interface of a swirl atomizer.

EVerT2—needling versus non-surgical debridement for the treatment of verrucae : study protocol for a single centre randomised controlled trial (2015)
Journal Article
randomised controlled trial. BMJ Open, 5(11), e009406. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2015-009406

Introduction: Verrucae are extremely common, and are experienced by most people at some time during their lives. Although most verrucae will spontaneously disappear without treatment, many patients seek treatment, often because they have persisted fo...

Understanding implementation of maternal acute illness management education by measuring capability, opportunity and motivation : a mixed methods study in a low-income country (2015)
Journal Article
Byrne-Davis, L., Byrne, G., Jackson, M., Abio, A., McCarthy, R., & Slattery, H. (2016). Understanding implementation of maternal acute illness management education by measuring capability, opportunity and motivation : a mixed methods study in a low-income country. Journal of Nursing Education and Practice, 6(3), 59-70. https://doi.org/10.5430/jnep.v6n3p59

A major cause of maternal death in low-income countries is a lack of adequate healthcare. The dominant approach to improving care involves continuing professional development but little is known about their impact on practice. Less still is known abo...
