Influence of playing surface on match injury risk in men's professional rugby union in England (2013-2019)
Charli Robertson, Sean Williams, Stephen West, Lindsay Starling, Simon P T Kemp, Matthew Cross, Keith Stokes
Nov 30, 2022
The use of artificial playing surfaces in professional rugby union is growing, but their effect on the injury risk profile remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of playing surface on match injury...
Injuries in elite men’s Rugby Union
Sean Williams, Lindsay Starling, Carly McKay, Stephen West, James C. Brown, Charli Robertson, Keith Stokes
May 31, 2022
Background
The most recent meta-analytic review of injuries in elite senior men’s Rugby Union was published in 2013. The demands of the game at the elite level are continually changing alongside law amendments and...

The Temptation of Overgeneralizing Response-adaptive Randomization.
Dear Editor – We read with interest the recent article by Proschan and Evans [1] on the use of response-adaptive randomization (RAR) and its potential problems; however, these problems are neither new nor applicable in general...

Social and endocrine correlates of immune function in meerkats
Kendra N Smyth, Nicholas M Caruso, Charli S Davies, Tim H Clutton-Brock, Christine M Drea
May 03, 2021
Social status can mediate effects on the immune system, with profound consequences for individual health; nevertheless, most investigators of status-related disparities in free-ranging animals have used faecal parasite burdens...
Exceptional endocrine profiles characterise the meerkat
Charli S Davies, Kendra N Smyth, Lydia K Greene, Debbie A Walsh, Jessica Mitchell, Tim Clutton-Brock, Christine M Drea
Jan 23, 2018
In vertebrates, reproductive endocrine concentrations are strongly differentiated by sex, with androgen biases typifying males and estrogen biases typifying females. These sex differences can be reduced in female-dominant...
Resistant Starch Production and Glucose Release from Pre-Prepared Chilled Food
With an increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide, effective dietary strategies for blood glucose control are crucial. As carbohydrates make up approximately 50% of the diet, it is neither practical nor advisable to avoid them...
An intergenerational androgenic mechanism of female intrasexual competition in the cooperatively breeding meerkat.
Christine M Drea, Charli S Davies, Lydia K Greene, Jessica Mitchell, Dimitri V Blondel, Caroline L Shearer, Joseph T Feldblum, Kristin A Dimac-Stohl, Kendra N Smyth-Kabay, Tim H Clutton-Brock
Jan 28, 2022
Female intrasexual competition can be intense in cooperatively breeding species, with some dominant breeders (matriarchs) limiting reproduction in subordinates via aggression, eviction or infanticide. In males, such tendencies...
Growth of Continuous Monolayer Graphene with Millimeter-sized Domains Using Industrially Safe Conditions.
We demonstrate the growth of continuous monolayer graphene films with millimeter-sized domains on Cu foils under intrinsically safe, atmospheric pressure growth conditions, suitable for application in roll-to-roll reactors....
Can the two-time interpretation of quantum mechanics solve the measurement problem?
K Robertson
Mar 08, 2017
Over many years, Aharonov and co-authors have proposed a new interpretation of quantum mechanics: the two-time interpretation. This interpretation assigns two wavefunctions to a system, one of which propagates forwards in time...

Using flow technologies to direct the synthesis and assembly of materials in solution
K. Robertson
Jan 05, 2017
In the pursuit of materials with structure-related function, directing the assembly of materials is paramount. The resultant structure can be controlled by ordering of reactants, spatial confinement and control over the...
Colonising the future
SL Robertson
Jul 10, 2017
This paper explores a less well-examined aspect of time in relation to higher education and the academy; that of ‘time-future’. The paper takes the case of education trade strategies being pursued by governments and allied...
Making education markets through global trade agreements
SL Robertson
Aug 11, 2017
This paper uses the global trade negotiations and agreements, which include education sectors as potentially tradable services, to show the complex processes at work in making global education markets. Drawing on the work of...

Global competences and 21st century higher education – And why they matter
This paper brings issues around forecasting and change to the fore to stimulate a conversation around three related questions: How do we understand the challenges of this global era? What might be the role of higher...

Conditionally unbiased estimation in the normal setting with unknown variances.
To efficiently and completely correct for selection bias in adaptive two-stage trials, uniformly minimum variance conditionally unbiased estimators (UMVCUEs) have been derived for trial designs with normally distributed data....
Atomic Layering, Intermixing and Switching Mechanism in Ge-Sb-Te based Chalcogenide Superlattices.
GeSbTe-based chalcogenide superlattice (CSLs) phase-change memories consist of GeSbTe layer blocks separated by van der Waals bonding gaps. Recent high resolution electron microscopy found two types of disorder in CSLs, a...
Modeling of switching mechanism in GeSbTe chalcogenide superlattices.
We study the switching process in chalcogenide superlattice (CSL) phase-change memory materials by describing the motion of an atomic layer between the low and high resistance states. Two models have been proposed by different...
