Measuring the local behaviour of a propagating crack in a quantitative manner has always been a challenge in the field of fracture mechanics.In-situ microcantilever testing inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is one of the most promising techniques for the investigation thereof.Here, for the first time we utili...
and now.20,It also further reveals the cultural mechanisms behind processes of medicalization that promote ecologies of invisibility and silence in medical practice.21,In this paper we draw on historical and sociological understandings of gender as a category of analysis to situate these two populations in context and ...
This essay uses gender as a category of historical and sociological analysis to situate two populations—boxers and victims of domestic violence—in context and explain the temporal and ontological discrepancies between them as potential brain injury patients.Symptoms prior to that period were often cast as functional in...
works on intimate partner violence appeared in the late 1990s as unpublished dissertations.83,Published studies with pilot data began appearing in the early 2000s, with reviews from 2011 onward beginning to call attention to the absence of data on brain injury in populations with histories of intimate partner violence....
In boxing, the question of brain injury and its sequelae were analyzed from 1928 on, often on profoundly somatic grounds.With domestic violence, in contrast, the question of brain injury and its sequelae appear to have been first examined only after 1990.We examine this chronological and epistemological disconnection b...
disassembly/pruning .Under normal physiological conditions, both pathways likely act in a highly regulated and coordinated manner to achieve appropriate levels of synaptic plasticity and normal cognitive functioning.Abnormal levels of Aβ result in cognitive impairment and memory deficits by disrupting these processes.O...
Introduction: Synapse loss is the structural correlate of the cognitive decline indicative of dementia.In the brains of Alzheimer's disease sufferers, amyloid β (Aβ) peptides aggregate to form senile plaques but as soluble peptides are toxic to synapses.Methods: We compared the effects of Aβ and of Dkk1 on synapse morp...

Current presentations of the anti-HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir make appropriate dosing for children difficult.We conducted a feasibility study to develop a formulation for these drugs with child-safe excipients in a flexible dosage form for children across the pediatric age spectrum.The freeze-drying in blister ap...
the logic of influence on the result is less straightforward than in committees and the outcomes are more uncertain.Government- and especially market-based standardisation are therefore likely to become relatively more important in a multi-mode standardisation process if actors are willing and able to spend the necessa...
Standardisation is key to shaping new technologies and supporting major ongoing trends, such as the increased importance of platforms, developing ‘smart’ technologies and innovating large-scale complex systems.Standardisation plays a key role in shaping the rules that govern these developments and their effects on soci...
Inhibition of automatic motor actions in favor of more complex voluntary behavior in a demanding situation is a hallmark of executive functions for humans."This ability can be impaired in different neurological conditions such as Huntington's disease, which is characterized by purposeless, involuntary and choreic movem...
The ability to inhibit automatic versus voluntary saccade commands in demanding situations can be impaired in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease (HD).These deficits could result from disruptions in the interaction between basal ganglia and the saccade control system.To investigate voluntary oculomo...

However, some studies have proposed that damage outside the indirect-pathway also contribute to executive and saccade deficits.HD patients had voluntary saccade inhibition control deficits, including increased regular-latency anti-saccade errors and increased anticipatory saccades.These deficits correlated with white-m...
Educational qualifications and trajectories of employment, income and health across the life course are all importantly influenced by academic achievement in childhood.There are large socio-economic inequalities in academic achievement throughout childhood, and these help drive the emergence of health inequalities.In a...
Socio-economic inequalities in academic achievement emerge early in life and are observed across the globe.We examined this in two nationally representative cohorts in the UK (Millennium Cohort Study, n = 11,168; 61% original cohort) and Australia (LSAC, n = 3028; 59% original cohort).An effect decomposition method was...
Stata plug-in for the SAS procedure PROC LCA.We used a counterfactual method for decomposing two related mediating pathways.In counterfactual methods, the observed data are used to estimate the potential outcome that would have been observed had exposed individuals been unexposed, and unexposed individuals been exposed...
Risk ratios (RRs, and bootstrap 95% confidence intervals) were estimated with binary regression for each pathway of interest: the ‘direct effect’ of socio-economic disadvantage on academic achievement (not acting through self-regulation and cognitive ability in early childhood), and the ‘indirect effects’ of socio-econ...
unmeasured confounding by school characteristics indicated that the association between self-regulation and cognitive ability would have had to have been overestimated by 30% in order for the indirect pathway to have been completely removed.A more likely bias of 5% reduced the joint indirect pathway by a minimal amount...
Cognitive ability and “non-cognitive” attributes (such as self-regulation) are the focus of many early years’ interventions.Despite this, little research has compared the contributions of early cognitive and self-regulation abilities as separate pathways to inequalities in academic achievement.Analyses were adjusted fo...
We propose a robust Bayesian deep learning algorithm to infer complex posteriors with latent variables.Inspired by dropout, a popular tool for regularization and model ensemble, we assign sparse priors to the weights in deep neural networks in order to achieve automatic “dropout” and avoid over-fitting.By alternatively...
