BAG-1 suppresses expression of the key regulatory cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β1) in colorectal tumour cells (2012)
Journal Article

As colorectal cancer remains the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths in much of the industrialised world, identifying novel strategies to prevent colorectal tumour development remains an important challenge. BAG-1 is a multi-functional prot... Read More about BAG-1 suppresses expression of the key regulatory cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β1) in colorectal tumour cells.

Effect of jet inclination angle and hole exit shape on vortical flow structures in low-reynolds number jet in cross-flow (2012)
Journal Article

Numerical studies have been performed to visualize vortical flow structures emerged from jet cross-flow interactions. A single square jet issuing perpendicularly into a cross-flow was simulated first, followed by two additional scenarios, that is, in...

CFD prediction and experimental measurement of blade water coverage in a diesel turbocharger (2012)
Journal Article

A turbocharger unit for diesel engine is often equipped with a built-in online water washing system and its performance is not always satisfactory because of efficiency declination due to deposit accumulated on blade surfaces not being washed away. I... Read More about CFD prediction and experimental measurement of blade water coverage in a diesel turbocharger.

Longitudinal comparisons of dietary patterns derived by cluster analysis in 7- to 13-year-old children (2012)
Journal Article

Little is known about changes in dietary patterns over time. The present study aims to derive dietary patterns using cluster analysis at three ages in children and track these patterns over time. In all, 3 d diet diaries were completed for children f... Read More about Longitudinal comparisons of dietary patterns derived by cluster analysis in 7- to 13-year-old children.

Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections (2012)
Journal Article

This paper presents a spiking neuroevolutionary system which implements memristors as plastic connections, i.e., whose weights can vary during a trial. The evolutionary design process exploits parameter self-adaptation and variable topologies, allowi... Read More about Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections.
