Obesity in PCOS: a consequence of prenatally programmed reduced energy expenditure (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siemienowicz, K., Rae, M., Lerner, A., Franks, S., & Duncan, C. (2015, July). Obesity in PCOS: a consequence of prenatally programmed reduced energy expenditure. Paper presented at Society for Reproduction and Fertility Annual Conference, Oxford

Polycystic ovary syndrome, a common endocrine condition affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, is associated with an increased risk of developing insulin resistance and obesity. Obesity is associated with increased energy intake or reduced... Read More about Obesity in PCOS: a consequence of prenatally programmed reduced energy expenditure.

Since the 1980s, police custody in England and Wales has seen the civilianisation and privatisation of key roles formerly performed by police officers and changes to how police custody suites are managed and owned. These changes have been encapsulate... Read More about Preliminary findings on police custody delivery in the twenty-first century: Is it ‘good’ enough?.

Artificial Crab Burrows Facilitate Desalting of Rooted Mangrove Sediment in a Microcosm Study (2015)
Journal Article
Pülmanns, N., Nordhaus, I., Diele, K., & Mehlig, U. (2015). Artificial Crab Burrows Facilitate Desalting of Rooted Mangrove Sediment in a Microcosm Study. Journal of marine science and engineering, 3(3), 539-559. https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse3030539

Water uptake by mangrove trees can result in salt accumulation in sediment
around roots, negatively influencing growth. Tidal pumping facilitates salt release and can
be enhanced by crab burrows. Similarly, flushing of burrows by incoming tidal wat... Read More about Artificial Crab Burrows Facilitate Desalting of Rooted Mangrove Sediment in a Microcosm Study.

Epinephelus fuscoguttatus mariculture in Indonesia: Implications from fish parasite infections (2015)

Detecting the taste components within a flavoured substance relies on exposing chemoreceptors within the mouth to the chemical components of ingested food. In our paper, we show that the evaluation of taste components can also be influenced by the ta... Read More about Cross-modal tactile–taste interactions in food evaluations.
