WASP-78b and WASP-79b: Two highly-bloated hot Jupiter-mass exoplanets orbiting F-type stars in Eridanus (2012)
Journal Article

We report the discovery of WASP-78b and WASP-79b, two highly-bloated Jupiter-mass exoplanets orbiting F-type host stars. WASP-78b orbits its V=12.0 host star (TYC 5889-271-1) every 2.175 days and WASP-79b orbits its V=10.1 host star (CD-30 1812) ever...

Textural characterization, major and volatile element quantification and Ar–Ar systematics of spherulites in the Rocche Rosse obsidian flow, Lipari, Aeolian Islands: a temperature continuum growth model (2012)
Journal Article

Spherulitic textures in the Rocche Rosse obsidian flow (Lipari, Aeolian Islands, Italy) have been characterized through petrographic, crystal size distribution (CSD) and in situ major and volatile elemental analyses to assess the mode, temperature an...

Participation in mass gatherings can benefit well-being: Longitudinal and control data from a North Indian Hindu pilgrimage event (2012)
Journal Article

How does participation in a long-duration mass gathering (such as a pilgrimage event) impact well-being? There are good reasons to believe such collective events pose risks to health. There are risks associated with communicable diseases. Moreover, t...

Transplanting intact donor tissue enhances dopamine cell survival and the predictability of motor improvements in a rat model of Parkinson's disease (2012)
Journal Article

Primary cell transplantation is currently the gold standard for cell replacement in Parkinson's disease. However, the number of donors needed to treat a single patient is high, and the functional outcome is sometimes variable. The present work explor...

Neuronal Toll-like receptor 4 signaling induces brain endothelial activation and neutrophil transmigration in vitro. (2012)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The innate immune response in the brain is initiated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) or danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) produced in response to central nervous system (CNS) infection or injury. These molecul... Read More about Neuronal Toll-like receptor 4 signaling induces brain endothelial activation and neutrophil transmigration in vitro..

Association of circulating levels of MMP-8 with mortality from respiratory disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. (2012)
Journal Article

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the destruction of the joint and have been shown to be strongly associated with inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Circulating MMPs have also been associated with cardiovascular disease in th...

Concentration–Response Function for Ozone and Daily Mortality: Results from Five Urban and Five Rural U.K. Populations (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Short-term exposure to ozone has been associated with increased daily mortality. The shape of the concentration–response relationship—and, in particular, if there is a threshold—is critical for estimating public health impacts. Objecti...

The science of enhanced student engagement and employability: introducing the psychology stream of the HEA STEM conference (2012)
Journal Article

The Higher Education Academy (HEA) is committed to enhancing the quality of learning and teaching for all university students in the UK, and the inaugural conference for the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, held in Ap...

Patients with well-established ankylosing spondylitis show limited deterioration in a ten-year prospective cohort study (2012)
Journal Article

This study aims to describe the deterioration of well-established ankylosing spondylitis (AS) over a 10-year period. Patients with well-established AS under secondary care review were assessed at baseline and re-assessed after a 10-year period. Data...

Synthesis and characterisation of dinuclear Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) unsaturated helical complexes from a novel dipyridyl-bispyrazole ligand (2012)
Journal Article

Reported here is the synthesis of a novel bis-bidentate ligand 4,4′-methylenebis(1-(2-pyridyl)-3,5-dimethylpyrazole), L, along with the synthesis and structural characterisation of three unsaturated dinuclear helical complexes that it forms with Co(I...
