Complexity and specificity of experimentally-induced expectations in motion perception (2013)
Journal Article
Gekas, N., Chalk, M., Seitz, A., & Series, P. (2013). Complexity and specificity of experimentally-induced expectations in motion perception. Journal of Vision, 13(4), Article 8. https://doi.org/10.1167/13.4.8

Abstract Our perceptions are fundamentally altered by our expectations, i.e., priors about the world. In previous statistical learning experiments (Chalk, Seitz, & Seriès, 2010), we investigated how such priors are formed by presenting subjects with...

Biomonitoring study of an estuarine coastal ecosystem, the Sacca di Goro lagoon, using Ruditapes philippinarum (Mollusca: Bivalvia) (2013)
Journal Article
Sacchi, A., Mouneyrac, C., Bolognesi, C., Sciutto, A., Roggieri, P., Fusi, M., Beone, G. M., & Capri, E. (2013). Biomonitoring study of an estuarine coastal ecosystem, the Sacca di Goro lagoon, using Ruditapes philippinarum (Mollusca: Bivalvia). Environmental Pollution, 177, 82-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2013.01.042

Coastal lagoons are constantly subjected to releases of chemical pollutants, and so organisms may be exposed to such toxicants. This study investigated through a multivariate approach the physiological status of bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum, farme...

Abstract
Background The London 2012 Summer Olympic Games involved 10 568 elite athletes representing 204 competing nations. To manage the varied healthcare needs of this diverse population, a Polyclinic was constructed in the athletes’ village.

The X-Factor: An evaluation of common methods used to analyse major inter-segment kinematics during the golf swing (2013)
Journal Article
Brown, S. J., Selbie, W. S., & Wallace, E. S. (2013). The X-Factor: An evaluation of common methods used to analyse major inter-segment kinematics during the golf swing. Journal of Sports Sciences, 31(11), 1156-1163. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2013.775474

A common biomechanical feature of a golf swing, described in various ways in the literature, is the interaction between the thorax and pelvis, often termed the X-Factor. There is no consistent method used within golf biomechanics literature however t...

The consequences of polyandry for population viability, extinction risk and conservation (2013)
Journal Article
Holman, L., & Kokko, H. (2013). The consequences of polyandry for population viability, extinction risk and conservation. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 368(1613), Article 20120053. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2012.0053

Polyandry, by elevating sexual conflict and selecting for reduced male care relative to monandry, may exacerbate the cost of sex and thereby seriously impact population fitness. On the other hand, polyandry has a number of possible population-level b... Read More about The consequences of polyandry for population viability, extinction risk and conservation.

Function and Regulation of Yeast Ribonucleotide Reductase: Cell Cycle, Genotoxic Stress, and Iron Bioavailability (2013)
Journal Article

All eukaryotic organisms require an adequate, balanced concentration of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) in order to assure accurate DNA replication and repair, and to maintain genomic integrity. The rate‑limiting step in dNTP synthesis is c... Read More about Function and Regulation of Yeast Ribonucleotide Reductase: Cell Cycle, Genotoxic Stress, and Iron Bioavailability.

Intranasal infection with Chlamydia abortus induces dose-dependent latency and abortion in sheep (2013)
Journal Article
Longbottom, D., Livingstone, M., Maley, S., van der Zon, A., Rocchi, M., Wilson, K., Wheelhouse, N., Dagleish, M., Aitchison, K., Wattegedera, S., Nath, M., Entrican, G., & Buxton, D. (2013). Intranasal infection with Chlamydia abortus induces dose-dependent latency and abortion in sheep. PLOS ONE, 8(2), Article e57950. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0057950

BACKGROUND: Latency is a key feature of the animal pathogen Chlamydia abortus, where infection remains inapparent in the non-pregnant animal and only becomes evident during a subsequent pregnancy. Often the first sign that an animal is infected is ab... Read More about Intranasal infection with Chlamydia abortus induces dose-dependent latency and abortion in sheep.
