Epidemiology of generalized joint laxity (hypermobility) in fourteen-year-old children from the UK: A population-based evaluation (2011)
Journal Article

Objective Although diagnostic criteria for generalized ligamentous laxity (hypermobility) in children are widely used, their validity may be limited, due to the lack of robust descriptive epidemiologic data on this condition. The present study was un... Read More about Epidemiology of generalized joint laxity (hypermobility) in fourteen-year-old children from the UK: A population-based evaluation.

Short- and long-term exposure of Lumbriculus variegatus (Oligochaete) to metal lead: Ecotoxicological and behavioral effects (2011)
Journal Article

Metals are naturally occurring constituents of the environment and although many are essential nutrients for living organisms, at higher concentrations they can be toxic. Some aquatic species can help understand and even predict the impact of those c...

Evaluation of coupled partial models in structural engineering using graph theory and sensitivity analysis (2011)
Journal Article

The process of analysis and design in structural engineering requires the consideration of different partial models of loading, structural material, structural elements and analysis type, among others. All of these, need an adequate modelling as indi... Read More about Evaluation of coupled partial models in structural engineering using graph theory and sensitivity analysis.

An analysis of the costs of resilient reinstatement of flood affected properties: A case study of the 2009 flood event in Cockermouth (2011)
Journal Article

Recently, the focus of UK and European flood risk management policy has been towards promoting the uptake of property level flood adaptation measures. Despite this focus, the take-up of property level flood adaptation measures (both resilient and res...

Adolescent girls' and parents' views on recruiting and retaining girls into an after-school dance intervention: Implications for extra-curricular physical activity provision (2011)
Journal Article

Background: Many adolescents are not sufficiently active and girls are less active than boys. Physical activity interventions delivered during curriculum time have reported weak effects. More sustained changes in physical activity may be obtained by...

The effect of plasticity on the ability of the deep hole drilling technique to measure axisymmetric residual stress (2011)
Journal Article

Mechanical strain relief covers a class of techniques for measuring residual stress in engineering components. These techniques work by measuring strains or displacements when part of the component is machined away. The assumption is that such strain...

Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy (2011)
Journal Article

Life cycle analyses (LCAs) show the main operational energy contribution for rainwater-harvesting (RWH) systems come from ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and pumping rainwater from tank to building. Simple methods of estimating pump energy consumption... Read More about Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy.
