Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula (2008)
Book Chapter

M16 (the Eagle Nebula) is a striking star forming region, with a complex morphology of gas and dust sculpted by the massive stars in NGC 6611. Detailed studies of the famous ``elephant trunks'' dramatically increased our understanding of the massive... Read More about Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula.

The influence of gluteus maximus on transverse plane tibial rotation. (2008)
Journal Article

There is a common clinical belief that transverse plane tibial rotation is controlled by the rearfoot. Although distal structures may influence the motion of the tibia, transverse plane tibial rotation could be determined by the proximal hip musculat...

Invasive in vivo measurement of rear-, mid- and forefoot motion during walking. (2008)
Journal Article

The aim of this work was to use bone anchored external markers to describe the kinematics of the tibia, fibula, talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, medial cuneiform, first and fifth metatarsals during gait. Data were collected from six subjects. The... Read More about Invasive in vivo measurement of rear-, mid- and forefoot motion during walking..

Predicting lower limb joint kinematics using wearable motion sensors. (2008)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to estimate sagittal plane ankle, knee and hip gait kinematics using 3D angular velocity and linear acceleration data from motion sensors on the foot and shank. We explored the accuracy of intra-subject predictions (i.e., wh... Read More about Predicting lower limb joint kinematics using wearable motion sensors..

An instance-based algorithm with auxiliary similarity information for the estimation of gait kinematics from wearable sensors. (2008)
Journal Article

Wearable human movement measurement systems are increasingly popular as a means of capturing human movement data in real-world situations. Previous work has attempted to estimate segment kinematics during walking from foot acceleration and angular ve...

Functional units of the human foot. (2008)
Journal Article

Functional units in the human foot provide a meaningful basis for subdivisions of the entire foot during gait analysis as well as justified simplifications of foot models. The present study aimed to identify such functional units during walking and s... Read More about Functional units of the human foot..

Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt. (2008)
Journal Article

Pelvic tilt is often quantified using the angle between the horizontal and a line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). Although this angle is determined by the balance of muscular and liga... Read More about Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt..

Massive Stars as Cosmic Engines through the Ages (2008)
Journal Article

Some useful developments in the model physics are briefly presented, followed by model results on chemical enrichments and WR stars. We discuss the expected rotation velocities of WR stars. We emphasize that the (C+O)/He ratio is a better chemical in... Read More about Massive Stars as Cosmic Engines through the Ages.

Chronic knee pain (2008)
Journal Article

Cytoplasmic CUG RNA foci are insufficient to elicit key DM1 features (2008)
Journal Article

The genetic basis of myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is the expansion of a CTG tract located in the 3' untranslated region of DMPK. Expression of mutant RNAs encoding expanded CUG repeats plays a central role in the development of cardiac disease in...

Co-production and Sure Start Children's Centres: Reflecting upon Users', Perspectives and Implications for Service Delivery, Planning and Evaluation (2008)
Journal Article

In the UK, there has been a re-awakening of interest in the ‘co-production’ approach to involve service users in modernised public services. Within this context, Sure Start Children's Centres are being created to address child poverty and social excl...

Resolving Deep-Water Channel Architectures: High-Resolution Forward Seismic Modeling of Turbidite Systems, Ainsa II Channel, Campodarbe Group, Northern Spain (2008)
Presentation / Conference

Turbidite channel systems are a common target in exploring for petroleum reservoirs though their internal architectures can be highly varied. To investigate channel architectures in turbidite systems, the spectacularly exposed, Ainsa II channel in th...

Facies characteristics in a semi-confined basin: from high net:gross channelized sheets to lower net:gross onlap margins. Grand Coyer basin, SE France (2008)
Presentation / Conference

Common stratigraphic-trap reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico and along the margins of the Atlantic are found within channelized (e.g., Tahoe) or basin margin settings (e.g., Auger, Mars). These are frequently within small, structurally controlled and t...

Resolving Deep-Water Channel Architectures: Forward Seismic Modeling of Turbidite Systems, Ainsa II Channel, Campodarbe Group, northern Spain. (2008)
Presentation / Conference

With deep-water basins becoming mature exploration areas, and the number of undrilled structural traps diminishing, stratigraphic traps are growing increasingly important. Onlapping turbidite sands are a common stratigraphic trap type in confined bas...

The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants (2008)
Journal Article

It is unclear why some species become successful invaders whilst others fail, and whether invasive success depends on pre-adaptations already present in the native range or on characters evolving de-novo after introduction. Ants are among the worst i... Read More about The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants.
