Drainage benefits of porous, permeable and pervious paving
Book Chapter
Scholz, M., Charlesworth, S., & Coupe, S. Drainage benefits of porous, permeable and pervious paving. In C. Booth, & S. Charlesworth (Eds.), Water Resources in the Built Environment – Managing Issues and Solutions (302-318). Chichester, UK.: John Wiley and Sons. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118809167.ch23

The fundamental purpose of all permeable paving systems (PPSs) is to allow stormwater to infiltrate slowly, to be stored in its structure and then allowed to be conveyed elsewhere in association with the sustainable drainage system (SUDS). This chapt... Read More about Drainage benefits of porous, permeable and pervious paving.

Practitioner variation of applied breast compression force in mammography
Thesis
Mercer, C. Practitioner variation of applied breast compression force in mammography. (Thesis). University of Salford

Rationale: Mammography practitioners control the amount of compression force applied to the breast. There are no quantifiable recommendations for optimal compression force levels for practitioners to follow. Clients report variations in pain and dis...

Efficient and compact representations of head related transfer functions
Thesis
Sinker, J. Efficient and compact representations of head related transfer functions. (Dissertation). University of Salford

These days most reproduced sound is consumed using portable devices and headphones, on which spatial binaural audio can be conveniently presented. One way of converting from conventional loudspeaker formats to binaural format is through the use of He... Read More about Efficient and compact representations of head related transfer functions.

“They didn't tell us, they made us work it out ourselves”: Patient perspectives of a cognitive-behavioral program for rheumatoid arthritis fatigue
Journal Article
Dures, E., Kitchen, K., Almeida, C., Ambler, N., Cliss, A., Hammond, A., …Hewlett, S. “They didn't tell us, they made us work it out ourselves”: Patient perspectives of a cognitive-behavioral program for rheumatoid arthritis fatigue. Arthritis Care and Research, 64(4), 494-501. https://doi.org/10.1002/acr.21562

Objective. Fatigue is an overwhelming rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptom caused by interacting clinical and psychosocial factors. Cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses cognitive restruc...

The role of the free-response receiver operating characteristic method for dose and image quality optimisation
Thesis
Thompson, J. The role of the free-response receiver operating characteristic method for dose and image quality optimisation. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis describes the value of the free-response receiver operating characteristic (FROC) paradigm for dose and image quality optimisation in a niche area of imaging. The empirical works discussed in this thesis focus on the diagnostic value of t...

The characterisation of flavone-DNA isoform interactions as a basis for anticancer drug development
Journal Article
Ragazzon, P., Bradshaw, T., Mathews, C., Iley, J., & Missailidis, S. The characterisation of flavone-DNA isoform interactions as a basis for anticancer drug development. Anticancer Research, 29(6), 2273-2283

BACKGROUND: The interactions of small molecules with nucleic acids are of considerable interest for the design of novel anticancer compounds. The physical properties and sequence specificity observed in the interactions between a group of flavonoi...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of bisindenoisoquinolines as topoisomerase I inhibitors
Journal Article
Muthukaman, N., Morrell, A., Smitha, A., Kohlhagen, G., Agama, K., Pommier, Y., …Cushman, M. Synthesis and biological evaluation of bisindenoisoquinolines as topoisomerase I inhibitors. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 24(49), 5129-5140

The indenoisoquinolines represent a class of non-camptothecin topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitors that exert cytotoxicity by trapping the covalent complex formed between DNA and Top1 during relaxation of DNA supercoils. As an ongoing evaluation of Top1... Read More about Synthesis and biological evaluation of bisindenoisoquinolines as topoisomerase I inhibitors.
