Journal Article
Carvalho, M., Osvaldo, S., Rito, A., Foster, E., Moore, H., & Miguel, J. (2014). Development of a new computer program to assess dietary intake in Portuguese school-age children: a qualitative approach. = Desenvolvimento de um novo instrumento online de avalicao do consumo alimentar para criancas Portuguesas em idade escolar: abordagem qualitativa. Portuguese Journal of Pediatrics, 45(2), 116-123

Introduction: Twenty-four-hour dietary recall is the method of choice for assessing food intake among school-age children. Because they require highly trained interviewers, recalls are expensive and impractical for large-scale nutrition research. A n...

Color-coordinate system from a 13th-century account of rainbows (2014)
Journal Article
Smithson, H., Anderson, P., Dinkova-Bruun, G., Gasper, G., Laven, P., McLeish, T., …Tanner, B. (2014). Color-coordinate system from a 13th-century account of rainbows. Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 31(4), A341-A349. https://doi.org/10.1364/josaa.31.00a341

We present a new analysis of Robert Grosseteste’s account of color in his treatise De iride (On the Rainbow), dating from the early 13th century. The work explores color within the 3D framework set out in Grosseteste’s De colore [see J. Opt. Soc. Am.... Read More about Color-coordinate system from a 13th-century account of rainbows.

The effectiveness of interventions targeting specific out-of-home food outlets: protocol for a systematic review (2014)
Journal Article
Hillier-Brown, F., Moore, H., Lake, A., Adamson, A., White, M., Adams, J., …Summerbell, C. (2014). The effectiveness of interventions targeting specific out-of-home food outlets: protocol for a systematic review. Systematic Reviews, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/2046-4053-3-17

Background: Eating out of the home has been associated with higher intakes of energy and fat and lower micronutrient intakes, as well as the development of obesity. Out-of-home food outlets (OHFOs) and the foods obtained from these outlets are an ide...

Background: Accurate, reliable and feasible methods of dietary intake and physical activity assessment are required to improve our understanding of the associations between energy balance-related behaviours and health. Methods: The Synchronised Nutri... Read More about Technology-based dietary assessment : development of the Synchronised Nutrition and Activity Program (SNAP™).

Pre-schoolers in the playground: an outdoor physical activity intervention for children aged 18 months to 4 years old: study protocol for a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article
Barber, S., Jackson, C., Akhtar, S., Bingham, D., Ainsworth, H., Hewitt, C., …Wright, J. (2013). Pre-schoolers in the playground: an outdoor physical activity intervention for children aged 18 months to 4 years old: study protocol for a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial. Trials, 14(1), Article 326. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-14-326

Background: The pre-school years are considered critical for establishing healthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity. Levels of physical activity track through childhood into adulthood, thus establishing habitual physical activity early i...

An optical platform for the production, trapping, manipulation and visualization of ultra-low interfacial tension emulsion droplets (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hargreaves, A. L., Kirby, A. K., Bain, C. D., Love, G. D., Bolognesi, G., Ces, O., Neil, M., & Ward, A. D. (2013, August). An optical platform for the production, trapping, manipulation and visualization of ultra-low interfacial tension emulsion droplets. Presented at Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation X, San Diego, CA

We discuss the design, implementation and performance of a novel platform for the production and optical control of ultra-low interfacial tension droplets in the 1-10 micron regime. A custom-designed, integrated microfluidic system allows the product...

Crack propagation and fracture in silicon wafers under thermal stress (2013)
Journal Article
Danilewsky, A., Wittge, J., Kiefl, K., Allen, D., McNally, P., Garagorri, J., …Tanner, B. (2013). Crack propagation and fracture in silicon wafers under thermal stress. Journal of Applied Crystallography, 46(4), 849-855. https://doi.org/10.1107/s0021889813003695

The behaviour of microcracks in silicon during thermal annealing has been studied using in situ X-ray diffraction imaging. Initial cracks are produced with an indenter at the edge of a conventional Si wafer, which was heated under temperature gradien...
