Non-invasive technical investigation of english portrait miniatures attributed to Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver
This study presents the results of the technical investigation carried out on several English portrait miniatures painted in the 16th and 17th century by Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver, two of the most famous limners...
The Politics of Metaphor in Heaney's <i>Sweeney Astray</i>
Josie O'Donoghue
Aug 15, 2017
Seamus Heaney began translating the Middle Irish romance Buile Suibhne in 1972, but his ‘version from the Irish’, Sweeney Astray, wasn't published until 1983. This article explores Heaney's adaptation of metaphors from...
Intensified training increases salivary free light chains in trained cyclists

Periods of short-term intensified training (IT) are often used by athletes during training cycles over the season and undergoing phases of increased physical stress may impact upon the immune system. This study investigated...

Long-term corticosteroid use, adrenal insufficiency, and the need for steroid-sparing treatment in adult severe asthma.
Secondary adrenal insufficiency (AI) occurs as the result of any process that disrupts normal hypothalamic and/or anterior pituitary function and causes a decrease in the secretion of steroid hormones from the adrenal cortex....
Review of the Book "Understanding Liberal Democracy: Essays in Political Philosophy"
Kelly Sorensen
Jan 01, 0001
[Excerpt] Nicholas Wolterstorff argues that public reason liberalism is a dead end, and defends instead what he takes to be a more defensible form of liberalism ("equal political voice liberalism"). His book is fresh and...

Mass and Heat Exchange in Rotating Compressor Cavities With Variable Cob Separation
Next generation aeroengines will operate at ever-increasing pressure ratios with smaller cores, where the control of blade-tip clearances across the flight cycle is an emerging design challenge. Such clearances are affected by...
Social Identity Theory in Sports Fandom Research
Nicholas Hirshon
May 08, 2020
Sports fans are known to engage in BIRGing, or basking in reflected glory after their team wins, and CORFing, cutting off reflected failure following a team loss. These phenomena are related to social identity theory, which...
Free light chains as an emerging biomarker in saliva:
Background
Salivary free light chains (FLCs) are an emerging biomarker in health and behavioural research. However, little is known regarding biological variability of salivary FLCs and how they relate to other established...
A Model of Mass and Heat Transfer for Disc Temperature Prediction in Open Compressor Cavities

Accurate prediction of heat transfer in compressor cavities is crucial to the design of efficient and reliable aircraft engines. The heat transfer affects the thermal expansion of the compressor rotor and, in turn, the tip...

Extracting quantum work statistics and fluctuation theorems by single qubit interferometry
We propose an experimental scheme to verify the quantum non-equilibrium fluctuation relations using current technology. Specifically, we show that the characteristic function of the work distribution for a non-equilibrium quench...
Early life programming in mice by maternal overnutrition
Animal models have been indispensable in elucidating the potential causative mechanisms underlying the effects of maternal diet on offspring health. Of these, the mouse has been widely used to model maternal overnutrition and/or...
The Clinical and Public Health Challenges of Diabetes Prevention
NJ Wareham, WH Herman
Oct 19, 2016
In an Editorial accompanying PLOS Medicine's Special Issue on Diabetes Prevention, Guest Editors Nicholas Wareham and William Herman discuss some of the challenges for researchers and policy makers in developing effective and...
Genetics of Gland- in-situ or Hypoplastic Congenital Hypothyroidism in Macedonia
Neonatal screening in Macedonia detects congenital hypothyroidism (CH) with an incidence of 1 in 1,585, and more than 50% of cases exhibit a normally located gland-in-situ (GIS). Monogenic mutations causing dyshormonogenesis may...
Grip strength from midlife as an indicator of later-life brain health and cognition
Abstract: Background: Grip strength is an indicator of physical function with potential predictive value for health in ageing populations. We assessed whether trends in grip strength from midlife predicted later-life brain...
