Effect of antipronation foot orthosis geometry on compression of heel and arch soft tissues (2015)
Journal Article
Sweeney, D., Nester, C., Preece, S., & Mickle, K. (2015). Effect of antipronation foot orthosis geometry on compression of heel and arch soft tissues. Journal of rehabilitation research and development, 52(5), 543-552. https://doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2014.12.0306

This study aimed to understand how systematic changes in arch height and two designs of heel wedging affect soft issues under the foot. Soft tissue thickness under the heel and navicular was measured using ultrasound. Heel pad thickness was measure...

Seasonal variation in the distribution of daily stepping in 11-13 year old school children (2015)
Journal Article
McCrorie, P., Duncan, E., Granat, M., & Stansfield, B. (2015). Seasonal variation in the distribution of daily stepping in 11-13 year old school children. International journal of exercise science, 8(4), 358-371

Seasonality studies in adolescent’s physical activity(PA) tend to report total PA (e.g. steps/day) rather than more specific detail such as steps/hour. This study compared the detailed changes in PA between seasons. Thirty three adolescents (baseline...

Addressing “nature-deficit disorder” : a mixed methods pilot study of young adults attending a wilderness camp (2015)
Journal Article

Background and Objectives: Rapid urbanization has increased concerns about the loss of
opportunity to interact with the natural world and the rise of chronic human health issues, such as
obesity, depression, and cardiovascular disease. “Nature-defi... Read More about Addressing “nature-deficit disorder” : a mixed methods pilot study of young adults attending a wilderness camp.

Natures buildings as trees : biologically inspired glass as an energy system (2015)
Journal Article
Alston, M. (2015). Natures buildings as trees : biologically inspired glass as an energy system. Optics and Photonics Journal, 5(136), 136-150. https://doi.org/10.4236/opj.2015.54013

The adaptive capacity in creating intelligent glass surfaces will be investigated using the principles of solar absorbance and active fluidic conductivity management as an energy system. To act as a thermal adsorption layer by applying bio-logically... Read More about Natures buildings as trees : biologically inspired glass as an energy system.

Quantification of outdoor mobility by use of accelerometer-measured physical behaviour (2015)
Journal Article
Taraldsen, K., Granat, M., & Helbostad, J. (2015). Quantification of outdoor mobility by use of accelerometer-measured physical behaviour. BioMed Research International, 2015, Article ID 910259. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/910259

Hip fractures in older persons are associated with both low levels of daily physical activity and loss of outdoor mobility. The aim of this study was to investigate if accelerometer-based measures of physical behaviour can be used to determine if peo...

An advanced shape-fitting algorithm applied to quadrupedal mammals : improving volumetric mass estimates (2015)
Journal Article
Brassey, C., & Gardiner, J. (2015). An advanced shape-fitting algorithm applied to quadrupedal mammals : improving volumetric mass estimates. Royal Society Open Science, 2(8), 150302. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.150302

Body mass is a fundamental physical property of an individual
and has enormous bearing upon ecology and physiology.
Generating reliable estimates for body mass is therefore a
necessary step in many palaeontological studies. Whilst early
reconstru... Read More about An advanced shape-fitting algorithm applied to quadrupedal mammals : improving volumetric mass estimates.

The multi-level governance of science policy in England - selected reading (2015)
Book Chapter
Perry, B. (2015). The multi-level governance of science policy in England - selected reading. In I. Bache (Ed.), Multi-level Governance : Essential Readings. Edward Elgar

The term ‘multi-level governance’ (MLG) has emerged from its origins in EU studies in the early 1990s to become a commonly used description of politics and policy-making in a range of settings. This collection brings together seminal papers covering... Read More about The multi-level governance of science policy in England - selected reading.
