J Saunders, P Hunt, JS Hollywood - Journal of Experimental Criminology, 2016 - Springer

… In section four, we present the data and quasi-experimental methods used to evaluate program effectiveness and to identify the mechanisms driving outcomes. Section five presents results, and section six concludes with a discussion of what the findings mean...

Secretion of salivary statherin is compromised in uncontrolled diabetic patients.

BBA clinical

Izumi M, Zhang BX, Dean DD, Lin AL, Saunders MJ, Hazuda HP, Yeh CK.
PMID: 25793156
BBA Clin. 2015 Jun 01;3:135-140. doi: 10.1016/j.bbacli.2015.01.002.

BACKGROUND: Statherin is an important salivary protein for maintaining oral health. The purpose of the current study was to determine if differences in statherin levels exist between diabetic and healthy subjects.METHODS: A total of 48 diabetic and healthy controls...

The A-B transition in superfluid helium-3 under confinement in a thin slab geometry.

Nature communications

Zhelev N, Abhilash TS, Smith EN, Bennett RG, Rojas X, Levitin L, Saunders J, Parpia JM.
PMID: 28671184
Nat Commun. 2017 Jul 03;8:15963. doi: 10.1038/ncomms15963.

The influence of confinement on the phases of superfluid helium-3 is studied using the torsional pendulum method. We focus on the transition between the A and B phases, where the A phase is stabilized by confinement and a spatially...

Switchable Surfactants for the Preparation of Monodisperse, Supported Nanoparticle Catalysts.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids

Bryant K, Ibrahim G, Saunders SR.
PMID: 29058909
Langmuir. 2017 Nov 14;33(45):12982-12988. doi: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.7b02983. Epub 2017 Nov 01.

Synthesis methods for the preparation of monodisperse, supported nanoparticles remain problematic. Traditional synthesis methods require calcination following nanoparticle deposition to remove bound ligands and expose catalytic active sites. Calcination leads to significant and unpredictable growth of the nanoparticles resulting...

Experimental measurement-device-independent verification of quantum steering.

Nature communications

Kocsis S, Hall MJ, Bennet AJ, Saunders DJ, Pryde GJ.
PMID: 25565297
Nat Commun. 2015 Jan 07;6:5886. doi: 10.1038/ncomms6886.

Bell non-locality between distant quantum systems--that is, joint correlations which violate a Bell inequality--can be verified without trusting the measurement devices used, nor those performing the measurements. This leads to unconditionally secure protocols for quantum information tasks such as...

Localization of membrane-associated calcium following cytokinin treatment in Funaria using chlorotetracycline.

Planta

Saunders MJ, Hepler PK.
PMID: 24302427
Planta. 1981 Jul;152(3):272-81. doi: 10.1007/BF00385156.

We have investigated the changes in membrane-associated calcium that occur during cytokinin induced bud formation in Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. using the fluorescent Ca(2+)-chelate probe chlorotetracycline (CTC). In the target caulonema cells a localization of CTC fluorescent material becomes evident...

Computational investigation into the gas-phase ozonolysis of the conjugated monoterpene α-phellandrene.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP

Mackenzie-Rae FA, Karton A, Saunders SM.
PMID: 27711539
Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2016 Oct 12;18(40):27991-28002. doi: 10.1039/c6cp04695a.

Reaction with ozone is a major atmospheric sink for α-phellandrene, a monoterpene found in both indoor and outdoor environments, however experimental literature concerning the reaction is scarce. In this study, high-level G4(MP2) quantum chemical calculations are used to theoretically...

Cavity-Enhanced Room-Temperature Broadband Raman Memory.

Physical review letters

Saunders DJ, Munns JH, Champion TF, Qiu C, Kaczmarek KT, Poem E, Ledingham PM, Walmsley IA, Nunn J.
PMID: 26991164
Phys Rev Lett. 2016 Mar 04;116(9):090501. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.090501. Epub 2016 Mar 03.

Broadband quantum memories hold great promise as multiplexing elements in future photonic quantum information protocols. Alkali-vapor Raman memories combine high-bandwidth storage, on-demand readout, and operation at room temperature without collisional fluorescence noise. However, previous implementations have required large control...
