Numerical and Experimental Study for a Beam System with Local Unilateral Contact Modeling Satellite Solar Arrays (2009)

Hazim, Hamad, Rousselet, B., Ferguson, Neil

The mass reduction of satellite solar arrays results in significant panel flexibility, so possibly striking one another dynamically leading ultimately to structural damage. To prevent this, rubber...

Crossing the Rubicon: Deciding to Become a Paramilitary in Northern Ireland (2008)

Neil Ferguson, Mark Burgess, Ian Hollywood

Northern Ireland has endured a history of violence since its inception in 1922. The last 40 years have been characterised by sustained political conflict and a fledging peace process. We conducted a...

The effects of internal resonances in vibration isolators under absolute velocity feedback control (2007)

Yan, Bo, Brennan, Mike, Elliott, Steve, Ferguson, Neil

Conventional vibration isolators are usually assumed to be massless for modelling purposes, which tends to overestimate the isolator performance because the internal resonances (IRs) due to the...

Time domain analysis of the nonlinear transient response of simple structures to shock excitation (2004)

Schaedlich, Mirko, Ferguson, Neil

The response of structures to blast wave excitation is a rather complex area of research within the field of structural dynamics. It involves numerous aspects of nonlinear behaviour including large...

The Role of Grandparents in Divorced Families (2003)

Douglas, Gillian, Ferguson, Neil

This article reports on the findings of an exploratory study of how grandparents, parents, and grandchildren view the role of grandparents in the divorced family, and what impact the divorce seems to...

Rapid Simulation of Urban Traffic using FPGAs (1994)

Gordon Russell, Paul Shaw, John Mcinnes, Neil Ferguson

Microscopic simulation of complex traffic models can take hours or even days on simulators build to run on a single processor machine. These simulators use continuous models for traffic movement. In...

On the Transition from Crystalline to Dynamically Triangulated Surfaces (1993)

Ferguson, Neil, Wheater, J. F.

We consider methods of interpolating between the crystalline and dynamically triangulated random surface models. We argue that actions based on the deviation from six of the coordination number at a...

Moral Reasoning among Nigerian Northern Irish Children: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Using the Sociomoral Reflection Measure -Short Form. (1970)

FERGUSON, NEIL, WILLIS, CATHERINE S., TILLEY, ALICE

The moral reasoning of 10-11 year old Nigerian children (n=37) was compared to children of the same age (n=48) from Northern Ireland. The research employed the Socio moral Reflection Measure-Short...

The effect of antibody-dependent enhancement on the transmission dynamics and persistence of multiple-strain pathogens

Ferguson, Neil, Anderson, Roy, Gupta, Sunetra

Cross-reactive antibodies produced by a mammalian host during infection by a particular microparasitic strain usually have the effect of reducing the probability of the host being infected by a...

Ultrafast folding of WW domains without structured aromatic clusters in the denatured state

Ferguson, Neil, Johnson, Christopher M., Macias, Maria, Oschkinat, Hartmut, Fersht, Alan

Ultrafast-folding proteins are important for combining experiment and simulation to give complete descriptions of folding pathways. The WW domain family comprises small proteins with a three-stranded...

Using flexible loop mimetics to extend Φ-value analysis to secondary structure interactions

Ferguson, Neil, Pires, José Ricardo, Toepert, Florian, Johnson, Christopher M., Pan, Yong Ping, Volkmer-Engert, Rudolf, ...

Chemical synthesis allows the incorporation of nonnatural amino acids into proteins that may provide previously untried probes of their folding pathway and thermodynamic stability. We have used a...

Rapid amyloid fiber formation from the fast-folding WW domain FBP28

Ferguson, Neil, Berriman, John, Petrovich, Miriana, Sharpe, Timothy D., Finch, John T., Fersht, Alan R.

The WW domains are small proteins that contain a three-stranded, antiparallel β-sheet. The 40-residue murine FBP28 WW domain rapidly formed twirling ribbon-like fibrils at physiological temperature...

General structural motifs of amyloid protofilaments

Ferguson, Neil, Becker, Johanna, Tidow, Henning, Tremmel, Sandra, Sharpe, Timothy D., Krause, Gerd, ...

Human CA150, a transcriptional activator, binds to and is co-deposited with huntingtin during Huntington's disease. The second WW domain of CA150 is a three-stranded β-sheet that folds in vitro in...

Face Mask Use and Control of Respiratory Virus Transmission in Households

MacIntyre, C. Raina, Cauchemez, Simon, Dwyer, Dominic E., Seale, Holly, Cheung, Pamela, Browne, Gary, ...

Mask use is associated with low adherence, but adherent mask users are significantly protected against seasonal disease.

Improving the realism of deterministic multi-strain models: implications for modelling influenza A

Minayev, Pavlo, Ferguson, Neil

Understanding the interaction between epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics for antigenically variable pathogens remains a challenge, particularly if analytical insight is wanted. In particular,...

Quantifying the transmissibility of human influenza and its seasonal variation in temperate regions

Truscott, James, Fraser, Christophe, Hinsley, Wes, Cauchemez, Simon, Donnelly, Christl, Ghani, Azra, ...

Seasonal influenza has considerable impact around the world, both economically and in mortality among risk groups. The long term patterns of disease are hard to capture with simple models, while the...
