Existentialist Freedom, Distorted Normativity and Emancipation (2014)
Journal Article
Baiasu, S. Existentialist Freedom, Distorted Normativity and Emancipation. Oñati Socio-Legal Series, 5(3), 874 -894

Usually associated with a view of freedom as absolute, Sartre’s philosophy seems particularly able to account for the indeterminacy that we experience today in most areas of human experience that have a normative dimension. Without denying that this... Read More about Existentialist Freedom, Distorted Normativity and Emancipation.

Opportunistic RPL for reliable AMI mesh networks (2014)
Journal Article
Fan. (2014). Opportunistic RPL for reliable AMI mesh networks. Wireless Networks, 2147 -2164. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11276-014-0730-1

Driven by the need to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact, we observe a thrust towards enabling a Smart Grid. It is envisaged that to achieve these goals, the Smart Grid will be equipped with communications infrastructure and me... Read More about Opportunistic RPL for reliable AMI mesh networks.

Binding site asymmetry in human transthyretin: insights from a joint neutron and X-ray crystallographic analysis using perdeuterated protein. (2014)

Measuring vitamin D levels: surrogates are insufficient (2014)
Journal Article
Heald, A. H., Anderson, S. G., Scargill, J. J., Short, A. D., Holland, D., Livingston, M., …Donn, R. P. (2015). Measuring vitamin D levels: surrogates are insufficient. International Journal of Clinical Practice, 69(1), 131-135. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijcp.12505

With the increasing evidence of adverse consequences because of low vitamin D levels on health demand for vitamin D, screening is increasing. The objective of the study was to assess whether parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels/bone profile is suffici... Read More about Measuring vitamin D levels: surrogates are insufficient.

The impact of mass-loss on the evolution and pre-supernova properties of red supergiants (2014)
Journal Article
(2014). The impact of mass-loss on the evolution and pre-supernova properties of red supergiants. Astronomy & Astrophysics, A60 - ?

The post main-sequence evolution of massive stars is very sensitive to many parameters of the stellar models. Key parameters are the mixing processes, the metallicity, the mass-loss rate and the effect of a close companion. We study how the red super...
