Serum proteomic profiling reveals that pretreatment complement protein levels are predictive of esophageal cancer patient response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation (2011)
Journal Article
Maher, S. G., McDowell, D. T., Collins, B. C., Muldoon, C., Gallagher, W. M., & Reynolds, J. V. (2011). Serum proteomic profiling reveals that pretreatment complement protein levels are predictive of esophageal cancer patient response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Annals of Surgery, 254(5), 809-816. https://doi.org/10.1097/SLA.0b013e31823699f2

OBJECTIVE: To identify serum-based biomarkers predicting response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neo-CRT) in esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: Increasingly, the standard of care for esophageal cancer involves neo-CRT followed by surgery. The identificat...

Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades (2011)
Journal Article
Tang, S. K., & Piippo, K. E. (2011). Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades. Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3624578

Street canyons are common in modern cities. It is well known that the multiple sound reflections within the canyons tend to increase the noise levels inside the canyons. An scaled down model experiment was conducted in the present investigation to st... Read More about Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades.

Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support (2011)
Journal Article
Noble, R., & Bredeweg, B. (2011). Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support. Lecture notes in computer science, 6738 LNAI, 519-521. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21869-9_88

This paper shows that naïve students will require coaching to overcome the difficulties they face in identifying the important concepts to be modeled, and understanding the causal meta-vocabulary needed for conceptual models. The results of this stud... Read More about Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals (2011)
Journal Article
Barton, R. A., & Capellini, I. (2011). Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 108(15), 6169-6174. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1019140108

Brain size variation in mammals correlates with life histories: larger-brained species have longer gestations, mature later, and have increased lifespans. These patterns have been explained in terms of developmental costs (larger brains take longer t... Read More about Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals.

An integrated pipeline to create and experience compelling scenarios in virtual reality (2011)
Journal Article
Springer, J. P., Neumann, C., Reiners, D., & Cruz-Neira, C. (2011). An integrated pipeline to create and experience compelling scenarios in virtual reality. Proceedings of SPIE, 7864, 43070. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.879278

One of the main barriers to create and use compelling scenarios in virtual reality is the complexity and time-consuming efforts for modeling, element integration, and the software development to properly display and interact with the content in the a...

Place of death: Is home always best? (2011)
Journal Article
Macleod, U. (2011). Place of death: Is home always best?. British journal of hospital medicine, 72(8), 441-443. https://doi.org/10.12968/hmed.2011.72.8.441

Place of death is now a quality marker of end of life care. Decisions around place of death are complex. This article considers the extent to which place of death is an appropriate way to determine good end of life care.
