Cultural conceptualisations and the cultural model of fertility and infertility in Nigerian English

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract The article scrutinises the concepts of fertility and infertility as reflected in Nigerian English. For this, a mixed‐methods approach is suggested that uses the Corpus of Global Web‐based English as a resource to shed light on lexical frequency and collocations, as well as a newspaper corpus of online articles from The Guardian and Vanguard ...

Test–retest reliability of Doppler ultrasound‐based leg blood flow assessments during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess leg blood flow (Q̇leg${{\dot{Q}}_{{\mathrm{leg}}}}$), but the reliability of this method remains unexplored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where between‐subject variability may be larger than healthy due to peripheral vascular changes.

Seven days of mixed‐method heat acclimation improved markers of cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory strain during exercise‐heat stress

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A mixed‐method heat acclimation (HA) protocol may optimise performance by supporting the training taper while promoting thermal adaptation; however, the impact on cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory adjustments to protect health is unknown. Therefore, we examined the effects of a mixed‐method heat protocol on physiological responses, including

Acoustic pulse reflectometry for the measurement of musical wind instruments

open access: yes, 1996
The bore profile and input impedance of a musical wind instrument provide valuable information about its acoustical properties. The time domain technique of acoustic pulse reflectometry can be used to measure the input impulse response of a tubular object, such as a wind instrument, from which both its bore profile and input impedance\ud can be ...

The cardiac pacemakers: A paradigm of robustness in evolutionary biology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Functional networks in living systems are formed by many thousands of gene products. In association with those networks, several genes (four in this diagram) may be sufficient, each on its own, to ensure that the function occurs. Any one of these may be removed or blocked while leaving the others to continue functioning.
