Development and testing of a novel instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQL) of farmed pigs and promote welfare enhancement (part 2) (2011)
Journal Article
Wiseman-Orr, M. L., Scott, E. M., & Nolan, A. (2011). Development and testing of a novel instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQL) of farmed pigs and promote welfare enhancement (part 2). Animal Welfare, 20(4), 549-558

The development of a novel structured questionnaire instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQL) in individual farmed pigs was described previously (companion paper). The instrument embraces the measurement of positive welfare, and was...

Health-related quality of life (HRQL) was defined for farmed animals and identified as an appropriate focus of integrative welfare
measurement for farmed pigs that embraces measurement of positive welfare. The instrument for HRQL measurement was
de... Read More about Development and testing of a novel instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQL) of farmed pigs and promote welfare enhancement (Part 1).

Witness Interviews: Does recall of relational information improve identifiability of a facial composite? (2011)
Journal Article
Skelton, F. C., Frowd, C. D., & Andrews, S. (2011). Witness Interviews: Does recall of relational information improve identifiability of a facial composite?. International Journal of Security and Its Applications, 5, 37-48

Facial composites are used by Police to generate lines of enquiry; unfortunately composites made by traditional ‘feature’ systems are not often accurately named. One reason could be that these systems tend to rely on descriptions of the criminal’s fa...

Preliminary evidence that glucose ingestion facilitates prospective memory performance (2011)
Journal Article
Riby, L., Law, A., McLaughlin, J., & Murray, J. (2011). Preliminary evidence that glucose ingestion facilitates prospective memory performance. Nutrition Research, 31, 370-377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nutres.2011.04.003

Previous research has found that the ingestion of glucose boosts task performance in the memory
domain (including tasks tapping episodic, semantic, and working memory). The present pilot study
tested the hypothesis that glucose ingestion would enha... Read More about Preliminary evidence that glucose ingestion facilitates prospective memory performance.

Assessment of accuracy, reliability and force measurement errors for a tethered swimming apparatus (2011)
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S., Paradisis, G., & Zacharogiannis, E. (2011). Assessment of accuracy, reliability and force measurement errors for a tethered swimming apparatus. International journal of performance analysis in sport, 11, 410-416

Researchers frequently use purpose-built devices to calculate propulsive forces during tethered swimming. Although such devices are subject to force measurement errors, no specific methods have been suggested in the swimming literature for the estima...

Shoulder and hip roll differences between breathing and non-breathing conditions in front crawl swimming (2011)
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S., & McCabe, C. (2011). Shoulder and hip roll differences between breathing and non-breathing conditions in front crawl swimming. Journal of Biomechanics, 44, 1752-1756. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2011.04.004

The effects of breathing on body roll have been previously investigated for the roll of the whole trunk only. The purposes of this study were: to calculate separately the shoulder roll (SR) and hip roll (HR) of swimmers during front crawl for non-bre...
