Setting up a cohort study in speech and language therapy: Lessons from The UK Cleft Collective Speech and Language (CC-SL) Study (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Efforts to increase the evidence base in speech and language therapy are often limited by methodological factors which have restricted the strength of the evidence to the lower levels on the evidence hierarchy. Where higher graded studies... Read More about Setting up a cohort study in speech and language therapy: Lessons from The UK Cleft Collective Speech and Language (CC-SL) Study.

Ecobat: An online resource to facilitate transparent, evidence-based interpretation of bat activity data (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Acoustic surveys of bats are one of the techniques most commonly used by ecological practitioners. The results are used in Ecological Impact Assessments to assess the lik... Read More about Ecobat: An online resource to facilitate transparent, evidence-based interpretation of bat activity data.

Conventionalisation and discrimination as competing pressures on continuous speech-like signals (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© John Benjamins Publishing Company. Arbitrary communication systems can emerge from iconic beginnings through processes of conventionalisation via interaction. Here, we explore whether this process of conventionalisation occurs with continuous, audi...

Assessment of a combined gas chromatography mass spectrometer sensor system for detecting biologically relevant volatile compounds (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd. There have been a number of studies in which metal oxide sensors (MOS) have replaced conventional analytical detectors in gas chromatography systems. However, despite the use of these instruments in a range of applications...

The STARTEC decision support tool for better tradeoffs between food safety, quality, nutrition, and costs in production of advanced ready-to-eat foods (2017)
Journal Article

A prototype decision support IT-tool for the food industry was developed in the STARTEC project. Typical processes and decision steps were mapped using real life production scenarios of participating food companies manufacturing complex ready-to-eat...

A novel mechanism linking memory stem cells with innate immunity in protection against HIV-1 infection (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s). HIV infection affects 37 million people and about 1.7 million are infected annually. Among the phase III clinical trials only the RV144 vaccine trial elicited significant protection against HIV-1 acquisition, but the efficacy an...

Temporal effects of disturbance on community composition in simulated stage-structured plant communities (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. In an era of global environmental change, understanding how disturbance affects the dynamics of ecological communities is crucial. However, few studies have theoretically...
