Introduction: Contemporary policing and non-warranted volunteering (2019)
Journal Article
Millie, A., & Wells, H. (2019). Introduction: Contemporary policing and non-warranted volunteering. Policing and Society, 29(4), 371-375. https://doi.org/10.1080/10439463.2019.1584624

Research on policing has tended to focus on paid and warranted officers, often overlooking the large and, in many jurisdictions, expanding army of volunteers working with or for the police. Where there has been research on police volunteering this ha... Read More about Introduction: Contemporary policing and non-warranted volunteering.

The between-day reliability of peroneus longus EMG during walking. (2019)
Journal Article
Reeves, J., Jones, R., Liu, A., Bent, L., & Nester, C. (2019). The between-day reliability of peroneus longus EMG during walking. Journal of Biomechanics, 86, 243--246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.01.037

The peroneus longus (PL) is a rearfoot evertor, important in frontal plane foot motion. Studying PL function has been limited by previous electromyography (EMG) studies reporting poor between-day reliability. Due to its close proximity to adjacent mu...

Fundamental properties of the pre-main sequence eclipsing stars of MML 53 and the mass of the tertiary (2019)
Journal Article
Hellier. (2019). Fundamental properties of the pre-main sequence eclipsing stars of MML 53 and the mass of the tertiary. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201733299

We present the most comprehensive analysis to date of the Upper Centaurus Lupus eclipsing binary MML 53 (with P-EB = 2.097892 d), and for the first time, confirm the bound-nature of the third star (in a P-3 similar to 9 yr orbit) by constraining its...

Mauritian Endemic Medicinal Plant Extracts Induce G2/M Phase Cell Cycle Arrest and Growth Inhibition of Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Vitro (2019)
Journal Article
Rummun, N., Hughes, R., Beesoo, R., Li, W., Aldulaimi, O., Macleod, K., …Neergheen-Bhujun, V. (2019). Mauritian Endemic Medicinal Plant Extracts Induce G2/M Phase Cell Cycle Arrest and Growth Inhibition of Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Vitro

Terrestrial plants have contributed massively to the development of modern oncologic drugs. Despite the wide acceptance of Mauritian endemic flowering plants in traditional medicine, scientific evidence of their chemotherapeutic potential is lacking....

A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark 120 - V. Spin determination from disc-Comptonisation efficiency method (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark 120 - V. Spin determination from disc-Comptonisation efficiency method. Astronomy and Astrophysics, A11 - A11. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201834448

Context
The spin of supermassive black holes (SMBH) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be determined from spectral signature(s) of relativistic reflection such as the X-ray iron Ka line profile, but this can be rather uncertain when the line of sig...

A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark 120 - VI. Geometry of the hot corona from spectroscopic and polarization signatures (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark 120 - VI. Geometry of the hot corona from spectroscopic and polarization signatures. Astronomy and Astrophysics, A12 -A12. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201834454

Context. The spectral shape of the hard X-ray continuum of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can be ascribed to inverse Compton scattering of optical/UV seed photons from the accretion disc by a hot corona of electrons. This physical process produces a po... Read More about A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark 120 - VI. Geometry of the hot corona from spectroscopic and polarization signatures.

A molecular mechanism for transthyretin amyloidogenesis. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). A molecular mechanism for transthyretin amyloidogenesis. Nature communications, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08609-z

Human transthyretin (TTR) is implicated in several fatal forms of amyloidosis. Many mutations of TTR have been identified; most of these are pathogenic, but some offer protective effects. The molecular basis underlying the vastly different fibrillati... Read More about A molecular mechanism for transthyretin amyloidogenesis..

The Search for “Fred”: An Unusual Vertical Burial Case (2019)
Journal Article
D. Wisniewski, K., Cooper, N., Heaton, V., Hope, C., Pirrie, D., J. Mitten, A., & Pringle, J. K. (2019). The Search for “Fred”: An Unusual Vertical Burial Case. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 64(5), 1530-1539. https://doi.org/10.1111/1556-4029.14035

This case reports details of a multi-phased, geophysical survey to assist in a cold case search. The Police Service received witness intelligence that had stated an adult male “Fred” had been lured to an isolated area, killed and then buried vertical...
