In this paper we aim to investigate the behaviour of returns around corporate news announcements. The motivation of the paper is that neither the broad classification of news into “good” and “bad” in many previous studies, nor the focus on only one n...

Some compressibility effects on the lee side flow structures of cruciform wing-body configurations with very low aspect ratio wings (2013)
Journal Article
A series of validated numerical simulations of a tangent ogive circular body in combination with very low aspect ratio cruciform wings at supersonic Mach numbers and angles of attack up 25 have been performed. Inspection of the flow in the cross flow... Read More about Some compressibility effects on the lee side flow structures of cruciform wing-body configurations with very low aspect ratio wings.
An investigation into the fabrication of a new mini gas sensor for medical diagnostic applications (2013)
Thesis
This research was part of a larger Wellcome Trust funded project that aimed to create a non-invasive volatile diagnostic device for medical applications, particularly for the detection of Clostridium difficile (C. Diff) in human stool. The device (Od... Read More about An investigation into the fabrication of a new mini gas sensor for medical diagnostic applications.

An evaluation of the impact and costs of three strategies used to recruit acutely unwell young children to a randomised controlled trial in primary care (2013)
Journal Article
Background Recruitment to primary care trials, particularly those involving young children, is known to be difficult. There are limited data available to inform researchers about the effectiveness of different trial recruitment strategies and their a...

Teaching Theory of Mind (2013)
Journal Article
Research Findings: An understanding of another's mental state, beliefs, or desires is often referred to as theory of mind (ToM). Pretence has been shown to be a precursor to ToM (Leslie, 1987; Lillard, 1999, 2001), and thus ToM could potentially be d... Read More about Teaching Theory of Mind.
Industrial closure, regional development and local planning: Multiple narratives of change from the experience of Longbridge, Birmingham (2013)
Journal Article
This article provides a critique of the policy response to the closure, in 2005, of the MG Rover factory in Longbridge, Birmingham. To date, the Longbridge 'narrative' has been dominated by the work of the Labour Government's MG Rover Task Force to s...

Behavior change techniques used to promote walking and cycling: A systematic review (2013)
Journal Article
Objective: Evidence on the effectiveness of walking and cycling interventions is mixed. This may be partly attributable to differences in intervention content, such as the cognitive and behavioral techniques (BCTs) used. Adopting a taxonomy of BCTs,...

Impact of plant shoot architecture on leaf cooling: A coupled heat and mass transfer model (2013)
Journal Article
Plants display a range of striking architectural adaptations when grown at elevated temperatures. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, these include elongation of petioles, and increased petiole and leaf angles from the soil surface. The potentia...
