The invisibility of men's practices: Problem representations in British and Finnish social policy on men's violences against women (2016)
Journal Article
Burrell, S. (2016). The invisibility of men's practices: Problem representations in British and Finnish social policy on men's violences against women. Graduate journal of social science, 12(3), 69-93

This paper investigates British and Finnish government policy discourses around men’s violence against women. Finland and the UK were selected for comparison because of the historically contrasting relationships between the women’s movements and the...

Consumption of energy drinks by children and young people: a rapid review examining evidence of physical effects and consumer attitudes (2016)
Journal Article

Objective To examine patterns of energy drink consumption by children and young people, attitudes towards these drinks, and any associations with health or other outcomes. Design Rapid evidence assessment and narrative synthesis. Data sources 9 elect...

An Inhomogeneous Jarník type theorem for planar curves (2016)
Journal Article
Badziahin, D., Harrap, S., & Hussain, M. (2017). An Inhomogeneous Jarník type theorem for planar curves. Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 163(1), 47-70. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0305004116000712

In metric Diophantine approximation there are classically four main classes of approximations: simultaneous and dual for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous settings. The well known measure-theoretic theorems of Khintchine and Jarník are fundamental t... Read More about An Inhomogeneous Jarník type theorem for planar curves.

A note on weighted badly approximable linear forms (2016)
Journal Article
Harrap, S., & Moshchevitin, N. (2017). A note on weighted badly approximable linear forms. Glasgow Mathematical Journal, 59(2), 349-357. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0017089516000203

We prove a result in the area of twisted Diophantine approximation related to the theory of Schmidt games. In particular, under certain restrictions we give an affirmative answer to the analogue in this setting of a famous conjecture of Schmidt from...

A note on badly approximabe sets in projective space (2016)
Journal Article
Harrap, S., & Hussain, M. (2017). A note on badly approximabe sets in projective space. Mathematische Zeitschrift, 285(1), 239-250. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00209-016-1705-y

Recently, Ghosh and Haynes (J Reine Angew Math 712:39–50, 2016) proved a Khintchine-type result for the problem of Diophantine approximation in certain projective spaces. In this note we complement their result by observing that a Jarník-type result... Read More about A note on badly approximabe sets in projective space.

Distortion of Chain Conformation and Reduced Entanglement in Polymer–Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites (2016)
Journal Article
Weir, M., Johnson, D., Boothroyd, S., Savage, R., Thompson, R., King, S., …Clarke, N. (2016). Distortion of Chain Conformation and Reduced Entanglement in Polymer–Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites. ACS Macro Letters, 5(4), 430-434. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmacrolett.6b00100

We study the conformations of polymer chains in polymer–graphene oxide nanocomposites. We show that the chains have a reduced radius of gyration that is consistent with confinement at a solid interface in the melt, as is expected for well-dispersed,...

Extrinsic Wrinkling and Single Exfoliated Sheets of Graphene Oxide in Polymer Composites (2016)
Journal Article
Weir, M. P., Johnson, D. W., Boothroyd, S. C., Savage, R. C., Thompson, R. L., Parnell, S. R., …Clarke, N. (2016). Extrinsic Wrinkling and Single Exfoliated Sheets of Graphene Oxide in Polymer Composites. Chemistry of Materials, 28(6), 1698-1704. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.5b04502

We study the conformation of graphene oxide as the filler in nanocomposites of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) using inverse-space scattering techniques and atomic force microscopy. By subtracting the polymer scattering to estimate the scat... Read More about Extrinsic Wrinkling and Single Exfoliated Sheets of Graphene Oxide in Polymer Composites.

A facile route for rubber breakdown via cross metathesis reactions (2016)
Journal Article
Smith, R., Boothroyd, S., Khosravi, E., & Thompson, R. (2016). A facile route for rubber breakdown via cross metathesis reactions. Green Chemistry, 18(11), 3448-3455. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5gc03075g

A new approach towards reprocessing cross-linked rubbery materials by catalytic disassembly of polymer chains, which eliminates the need for energy intensive mechanical processes, is demonstrated. First and second generation (G1 and G2) Grubbs’ ruthe... Read More about A facile route for rubber breakdown via cross metathesis reactions.
