A systematic approach to normalization in probabilistic models.
(Springer Link, 2018-06-30)Every information retrieval (IR) model embeds in its scoring function a form of term frequency (TF) quantification. The contribution of the term frequency is determined by the properties of the function of the chosen TF ... -
Gender discrimination, victimisation and women's mental health.
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-11-26)SummaryGender inequality and discrimination, as well as violence and victimisation towards women, have recently hit the headlines creating a media furore. We provide a timely discussion surrounding the impact of these ... -
Impact of femoroacetabular impingement and dysplasia of the hip on hip joint sphericity
(SAGE Publications, 2018-12-07)This paper presents a parametric investigation into the effect of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) on the sphericity of the femoral supra-equatorial region and acetabulum. ... -
Calponin-3 is critical for coordinated contractility of actin stress fibers
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-12)Contractile actomyosin bundles, stress fibers, contribute to morphogenesis, migration, and mechanosensing of non-muscle cells. In addition to actin and non-muscle myosin II (NMII), stress fibers contain a large array of ... -
Regression in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Reconciling Findings from Retrospective and Prospective Research
(Wiley, 2018-11)The way in which the behavioral manifestations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) emerge in infancy is variable. Regression—loss of previously acquired skills—occurs in a subset of children. However, the etiology and ... -
Creative Clusters, Social Inclusion, and Sustainability: The Case of Hackney Wick and Fish Island
(Network: QMUL Centre for the Creative and Cultural Economy, 2018-11-06)Hackney Wick and Fish Island is a unique and mature creative district in East London. This Report examines the link between social inclusion and sustainability in this creative district. It examines how social inclusion ... -
Search for Resonant and Nonresonant Higgs Boson Pair Production in the bb[over ¯]τ^{+}τ^{-} Decay Channel in pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector.
(2018-11-09)A search for resonant and nonresonant pair production of Higgs bosons in the bb[over ¯]τ^{+}τ^{-} final state is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb^{-1} of pp collision data with sqrt[s]=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS ... -
Path selection of a spherical capsule in a microfluidic branched channel: Towards the design of an enrichment device
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-18)© 2018 Cambridge University Press. We computationally study the motion of an initially spherical capsule flowing through a straight channel with an orthogonal lateral branch, using a three-dimensional immersed-boundary ... -
Supported self-management for people with type 2 diabetes: A meta-review of quantitative systematic reviews
(BMJ Journals, 2017-11)ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES Self-management support aims to give people with chronic disease confidence to actively manage their disease, in partnership with their healthcare provider. A meta-review can inform policy makers and ... -
Challenges of developing and conducting a multi-site, international study of migrant adolescents.
(SAGE Publications, 2018-08-30)The sequelae of migration and the effects of local migration policies on children’s physical and mental health are critical to examine, particularly given historically high numbers of migrants and displaced people. The ... -
Potential of herbariomics for studying repetitive DNA in angiosperms
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-10-29)Repetitive DNA has an important role in angiosperm genomes and is relevant to our understanding of genome size variation, polyploidisation and genome dynamics more broadly. Much recent work has harnessed the power of ... -
Food or friends? What motivates zebrafish (Danio rerio) performing a visual discrimination
(2018-11)As a model organism, zebrafish have much to offer neuroscientific research and they are increasingly being used in behavioral neuroscience, for example to study the genetics of learning and memory. As fish are often ... -
Parental transposable element loads influence their dynamics in young Nicotiana hybrids and allotetraploids.
(Wiley Online, 2018-09-16)The genomic shock hypothesis suggests that allopolyploidy is associated with genome changes driven by transposable elements, as a response to imbalances between parental insertion loads. To explore this hypothesis, we ... -
An international perspective on hospitalized patients with viral community-acquired pneumonia.
(Elsevier, 2018-11-04)BACKGROUND: Who should be tested for viruses in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), prevalence and risk factors for viral CAP are still debated. We evaluated the frequency of viral testing, virus prevalence, ... -
Global initiative for meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia (GLIMP): an international, observational cohort study
(Elsevier, 2016-09-01)Abstract BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance is a major global health problem and pathogens such as meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have become of particular concern in the management of lower respiratory ... -
Burden and Risk Factors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Community-acquired Pneumonia: a Multinational Point Prevalence Study of Hospitalised Patients
(European Respiratory Society, 2018-08-09)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a challenging bacterium to treat due to its intrinsic resistance to the antibiotics used most frequently in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Data about the global burden and risk ... -
Two-loop scattering amplitudes from ambitwistor strings: from genus two to the nodal Riemann sphere
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2018-10)We derive from ambitwistor strings new formulae for two-loop scattering amplitudes in supergravity and super-Yang-Mills theory, with any number of particles. We start by constructing a formula for the type II ambitwistor ... -
An association between pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex infections and biomarkers of Th2-type inflammation.
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2017-05-15)BACKGROUND: The rising incidence of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAI) infection is unexplained but parallels the growing world-wide epidemic of allergic disease. We hypothesized an association ... -
