Digital preparation and osteology of the skull of Lesothosaurus diagnosticus (Ornithischia: Dinosauria) (2015)
Journal Article
Porro, L. B., Witmer, L. M., & Barrett, P. M. (2015). Digital preparation and osteology of the skull of Lesothosaurus diagnosticus (Ornithischia: Dinosauria). https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.1494

Several skulls of the ornithischian dinosaur Lesothosaurus diagnosticus (Lower Jurassic, southern Africa) are known, but all are either incomplete, deformed, or incompletely prepared. This has hampered attempts to provide a comprehensive description... Read More about Digital preparation and osteology of the skull of Lesothosaurus diagnosticus (Ornithischia: Dinosauria).

Journal Article
King, A. J., Myatt, J. P., Fuertbauer, I., Oesch, N., Dunbar, R. I. M., Sumner, S., …Brown, M. R. (2015). Social density processes regulate the functioning and performance of foraging human teams. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep18260

Social density processes impact the activity and order of collective behaviours in a variety of biological systems. Much effort has been devoted to understanding how density of people affects collective human motion in the context of pedestrian flows...

CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for controlling immune responses and preventing autoimmunity. Their development requires regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs). To understand miRNA function in Treg development, we searche... Read More about MicroRNA-15b/16 Enhances the Induction of Regulatory T Cells by Regulating the Expression of Rictor and mTOR.

The training of field veterinarians in veterinary public health needs an in-depth understanding of the in-situ problems, social and economic barriers that prevent problem solving and a relevant pedagogical approach to suit the mature learner. A parti... Read More about A participant-led programme for field veterinary training to identify bacteriological quality of milk from the farmer to the retail outlet.

Effectiveness of slow motion video compared to real time video in improving the accuracy and consistency of subjective gait analysis in dogs (2015)
Journal Article
Lane, D. M., Hill, S. A., Huntingford, J. L., Lafuente, M. P., Wall, R., & Jones, K. A. (2015). Effectiveness of slow motion video compared to real time video in improving the accuracy and consistency of subjective gait analysis in dogs

Objective measures of canine gait quality via force plates, pressure mats or kinematic analysis are considered superior to subjective gait assessment (SGA). Despite research demonstrating that SGA does not accurately detect subtle lameness, it remain...
