Home and epigenome: How DNA methylation could explain the association between housing quality and depression (2023)
Journal Article

Poor housing quality is a consistent risk factor for mental health problems. Despite the large body of evidence for housing’s relationship with mental health, housing quality as an environmental stressor has not yet been investigated with regards to...

A multimodal teleoperation interface for human-robot collaboration (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Human-robot collaboration provides an effective approach to combine human intelligence and the autonomy of robots, which can improve the safety and efficiency of the robot. However, developing an intuitive and immersive human-robot interface with mul... Read More about A multimodal teleoperation interface for human-robot collaboration.

Effect of gender on blood pressure and heart rate variability during increasing intensities of isometric hand grip exercise in untrained adults (2023)
Journal Article

The impact of sexual dimorphism on physiological responses to exercise has been a major issue. Gender variation in exercise responses is a major indicator in understanding gender-specific adaptations to exercise for athletic performance and overall w...

Negative Poisson's ratio: A ubiquitous feature of wood (2023)
Journal Article

Most materials contract laterally when stretched axially i.e. they have a positive Poisson's ratio. Negative Poisson's ratios (NPR, also auxetic) are largely limited to single crystals or to artificial meta-materials such as honeycombs, foams and com...

Highly sensitive and extremely durable wearable e-textiles of graphene/carbon nanotube hybrid for cardiorespiratory monitoring (2023)
Journal Article

Electroconductive textile yarns are of particular interest for their use as flexible and wearable sensors without compromising the properties and comfort of usual textiles. However, the detection of fine actions of the human body is quite challenging...

Enhancing non-domestic Passivhaus auditoria ventilation design for improved indoor environmental quality (2023)
Journal Article

Enhanced energy conservation strategies often involve tightly controlled ventilation flow rates. However, strategies that don't carefully consider ventilation rates can, in certain contexts, result in inadequate ventilation, with increased risks of p...

The nature of the request requirement for collective self-defence (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The right of collective self-defence has been invoked more by states over the last 10 years than at any other point in the UN era – including it forming one of the (spurious) justifications advanced by Russia for its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Most of... Read More about The nature of the request requirement for collective self-defence.

The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around? (2023)
Journal Article

Over 2000 publications including more than 100 human studies seem to indicate that humans have only recently benefited from or known about the medical effects of H2 within the past 15 years. However, we have unknowingly benefited from H2 since the da... Read More about The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around?.

‘You’re there to support someone regardless’: A thematic analysis of staff experiences of working in homeless hostels (2023)
Thesis

Background: Homeless hostels sit outside of statutory services yet they often support individuals with experience of severe and multiple disadvantages who are not able to access support elsewhere. These experiences can profoundly affect these individ... Read More about ‘You’re there to support someone regardless’: A thematic analysis of staff experiences of working in homeless hostels.
