Stigma, deviance and morality in young adults' accounts of inflammatory bowel disease (2014)
Journal Article
Saunders, B. (2014). Stigma, deviance and morality in young adults' accounts of inflammatory bowel disease. Sociology of Health and Illness, 36(7), 1020-1036. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9566.12148

For young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), perceived stigma has been found to be a salient concern. Drawing on interviews with individuals with IBD aged 18–29 (n = 16), this article uses rhetorical discourse analysis to explore how stigm...

'...I've found once the weight had gone off, i've had a few twinges, but nothing like before'. Exploring weight and self-management of knee pain. (2014)
Journal Article
Jinks. (2014). '...I've found once the weight had gone off, i've had a few twinges, but nothing like before'. Exploring weight and self-management of knee pain. Musculoskeletal Care, 63 - 73. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1054

OBJECTIVES: Being overweight or obese is a key risk factor for the onset and exacerbation of knee pain. Policy and clinical guidelines encourage lifestyle changes as part of prevention or supported self-management. The present study explores how peop...

Mechanistic aspects of the tyrosinase oxidation of hydroquinone (2014)
Journal Article
(2014). Mechanistic aspects of the tyrosinase oxidation of hydroquinone. Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2463 - 2464. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bmcl.2014.04.009

Contradictory reports on the behaviour of hydroquinone as a tyrosinase substrate are reconciled in terms of the ability of the initially formed ortho-quinone to tautomerise to the thermodynamically more stable para-quinone isomer. Oxidation of phenol... Read More about Mechanistic aspects of the tyrosinase oxidation of hydroquinone.

Toward Unified Security and Privacy Protection for Smart Meter Networks (2014)
Journal Article
Fan. (2014). Toward Unified Security and Privacy Protection for Smart Meter Networks. IEEE Systems Journal, 641 - 654. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSYST.2013.2260940

The management of security and privacy protection mechanisms is one fundamental issue of future smart grid and metering networks. Designing effective and economic measures is a non-trivial task due to a) the large number of system requirements and b)...

A window on exoplanet dynamical histories: Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b (2014)
Journal Article
Smalley, Maxted, & Hellier. (2014). A window on exoplanet dynamical histories: Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 3392 -3401. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu520

We present Rossiter–McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b and determine the sky-projected angle between the normal of the planetary orbit and the stellar rotation axis (?). WASP-13b and WASP-32b both have prograde orbits and are consistent... Read More about A window on exoplanet dynamical histories: Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b.

The relationship of individual and neighbourhood deprivation with morbidity in older adults: an observational study. (2014)
Journal Article

The objective was to determine the relative association of social class and neighbourhood deprivation with primary care consultation for eight morbidities. In 18,047 survey responders aged =50 years, living in more deprived neighbourhoods was indepen...

This article explores the deep connections that exist between the mathematical representations of dynamic phenomena in functionally graded waveguides and those in periodic media. These connections are at their most obvious for low-frequency and long-... Read More about Long-wave asymptotic theories: the connection between functionally graded waveguides and periodic media.

Tuning receiver characteristics in bacterial quorum communication: An evolutionary approach using standard virtual biological parts (2014)
Journal Article
Hallinan, J. S., Gilfellon, O., Misirli, G., & Wipat, A. (2014). Tuning receiver characteristics in bacterial quorum communication: An evolutionary approach using standard virtual biological parts. IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, https://doi.org/10.1109/cibcb.2014.6845520

Populations of bacteria acting in collaboration can produce complex behaviors which are not achievable by individual cells. There has, consequently, been considerable interest in the engineering of bacterial populations. Here we describe an approach...
