Manual takeover and handover of a simulated fully autonomous vehicle within urban and extra urban settings (2017)
Book Chapter
Morgan, P., Alford, C., Williams, C., Parkhurst, G., & Pipe, A. G. (2017). Manual takeover and handover of a simulated fully autonomous vehicle within urban and extra urban settings. In N. A. Stanton (Ed.), Advances in Human Aspects of Transportation: Proceedings of the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Human Factors in Transportation (760-771). Springer

Relatively little is known about human behavior and performance when retaking control of highly autonomous vehicles (AVs) at different speeds and under varied driving conditions. Past research has tended to focus on long periods of high-speed extra-u... Read More about Manual takeover and handover of a simulated fully autonomous vehicle within urban and extra urban settings.

Background: Kainate receptors (KARs) are one of the three classes of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) expressed primarily in the central nervous system (CNS) where they mediate information transfer and neurotransmitter release. Very little is... Read More about The role of beta-cell glutamate receptors in pancreatic endocrine function and in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The development of a point of care device for measuring blood ammonia (2017)
Thesis
Brannelly, N. The development of a point of care device for measuring blood ammonia. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/900674

Ammonia is produced in the body during the metabolism of amino acids. In the liver, it is converted to urea via the urea cycle and excreted by the kidneys as urine. Normal levels are between 11 to 50 µM, whereas a blood ammonia level of approximately... Read More about The development of a point of care device for measuring blood ammonia.
