Composition cycle based on recordings of the Brantwood Musical Stones (developed as part of the Ruskin Rocks project) and text of John Ruskin in collaboration with Dame Evelyn Glennie.

The Piano Makers
Digital Artefact
Barnard, M. The Piano Makers

Furthering the research into the binaural method, and specifically the ‘ear-shot’ aesthetic, this piece also explores the evolving soundscape - more specifically, the disappearance of sounds and the significance of the recording process thereof. The... Read More about The Piano Makers.

Closely Observed Trains
Digital Artefact
Barnard, M. Closely Observed Trains

The binaural method was employed to capture the sonority of the overground and underground railways in England. As the binaural method works under the premise of recording what is heard by the recordist, the capture of sonic environments becomes intu... Read More about Closely Observed Trains.

Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Breithaupt, T., Johnson, M., & Katoh, E. Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus

Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus, live on the bottom of the continental shelf where they construct and defend burrows. Little is known about their agonistic behaviour and potential mechanisms of dominance. This paper investigates fighting behavio...

The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schindler, I., McIntosh, R. D., Cassidy, T. P., Birchall, D., Benson, V., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. D. The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation

We sought to determine the effects of prism adaptation on peripherally cued visual attention shifting in patients with spatial neglect, using a task devised by Egly et al. (J Exp Psychol Gen 123:161-177, 1994) based on the classic Posner paradigm. Th...

Steering via the image in local, distributed and collaborative settings
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wright, H., & Wood, J. D. Steering via the image in local, distributed and collaborative settings

Computational steering is a valuable mechanism for scientific investigation in which the parameters of a running program can be altered and the results visualized immediately. In a previous paper we put forward an architecture for computational steer... Read More about Steering via the image in local, distributed and collaborative settings.

Conflict and collaboration: Britain and Sultan Ibrahim of Johore
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S. C. Conflict and collaboration: Britain and Sultan Ibrahim of Johore

The establishment of workable collaborative relations with indigenous elites formed a vital part of the maintenance of the British Empire. This was especially so in the Malay States, where the Malay rulers enjoyed considerable local prestige as relig... Read More about Conflict and collaboration: Britain and Sultan Ibrahim of Johore.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barton, R. A., & Capellini, I. Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals

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.

Learning words over time : the role of stimulus repetition in mutual exclusivity
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. Learning words over time : the role of stimulus repetition in mutual exclusivity. Infancy, 14(1), 60-76. https://doi.org/10.1080/15250000802569702

During the second year of life, infants develop a preference to attach novel labels to novel objects. This behavior is commonly known as "mutual exclusivity" (Markman, 1989). In an intermodal preferential looking experiment with 19.5- and 22.5-month-... Read More about Learning words over time : the role of stimulus repetition in mutual exclusivity.

Same items, different order : effects of temporal variability on infant categorization
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. Same items, different order : effects of temporal variability on infant categorization. Cognition, 119(3), 438-447. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2011.02.008

How does variability between members of a category influence infants' category learning? We explore the impact of the order in which different items are sampled on category formation. Two groups of 10-months-olds were presented with a series of exemp... Read More about Same items, different order : effects of temporal variability on infant categorization.

Shakespeare and paradigms of early modern authorship
Journal Article
Clare, J. Shakespeare and paradigms of early modern authorship. Journal of Early Modern Studies, 1(1), 137-153. https://doi.org/10.13128/JEMS-2279-7149-10641

The essay examines current thinking on early modern authorship within the competitive economies of the theatre and publishing industries. In the wake of Foucault's seminal essay, 'What is an Author?', there has been much investigation of the status,... Read More about Shakespeare and paradigms of early modern authorship.

The surveillance of 'prolific' offenders : beyond 'docile bodies'
Journal Article
McCahill, M., & Finn, R. The surveillance of 'prolific' offenders : beyond 'docile bodies'. Punishment and Society, 15(1), 23-42. https://doi.org/10.1177/1462474512466198

This article uses ethnographic research to explore how a sample of state-defined ‘prolific’ offenders living in Northern City (a small city in the North of England) experience and respond to a surveillance regime which includes ‘appointments’, ‘track...

Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jones, S. J., & Frostick, L. E. Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain

Geologists and geomorphologists have long been concerned with rates of sediment transfer as bedload in gravel-bed rivers, especially as rates of sediment transfer are important factors controlling river aggradation and incision. Bedload transport equ... Read More about Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain.

Serum proteomic profiling reveals that pretreatment complement protein levels are predictive of esophageal cancer patient response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maher, S. G., McDowell, D. T., Collins, B. C., Muldoon, C., Gallagher, W. M., & Reynolds, J. V. Serum proteomic profiling reveals that pretreatment complement protein levels are predictive of esophageal cancer patient response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation

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...
