Lee WE, Hotopf M, 2009, No prospective association between hypotension and idiopathic fatigue., J Psychosom Res, Vol: 67, Pages: 153-158

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that there is a prospective association between constitutional hypotension and new-onset fatigue in a large, representative sample. METHODS: In this prospective study using a large population-based cohort dataset, the Health and Lifestyle Survey, a representative sample of the population residing in private dwellings in Great Britain in 1984 (n=9003, ages 18-97 years) had their blood pressure measured and were asked about fatigue. Participants reporting fatigue at baseline were excluded. The outcome was fatigue state in 1991. RESULTS: No association was shown, unadjusted or adjusted for likely confounders, in the healthy young population [systolic BP: adj. OR (95% CIs)=1.25 (0.90-1.74); diastolic BP: 1.18 (0.84-1.65)] or the whole population [systolic BP: 0.98 (0.77-1.26); diastolic BP: 1.01 (0.79-1.26)]. CONCLUSION: In this British population-based study, hypotension was not a risk factor for incident idiopathic fatigue.

TBC, 2009, Committee on Radioactive Waste Management: REPORT TO GOVERNMENT, INTERIM STORAGE OF HIGHER ACTIVITY WASTES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF SPENT FUELS, PLUTONIUM AND URANIUM, UK, CoRWM Document 2500

This is one of three CoRWM reports to Government in 2009. The reports are about: interim storage of higher activity wastes (including waste conditioning, packaging and transport, and the management of materials that may be declared to be wastes) (this report) the implementation of geological disposal of higher activity wastes research and development for interim storage and geological disposal.The reports cover the three strands of the Government’s Managing Radioactive Waste Safely programme. They contain the results of CoRWM’s scrutiny, during 2008 and the first part of 2009, of the work of the Government, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, other nuclear industry organisations, the regulators, local authorities and various organisations that carry out research. The recommendations in the reports are to Government but also affect others.

Pontikes Y, Rathossi C, Nikolopoulos P, Angelopoulos GN, Javaseelan DD, Lee WEet al., 2009, Effect of firing temperature and atmosphere on sintering of ceramics made from Bayer process bauxite residue, Ceramics International, Vol: 35, Pages: 401-407, ISSN: 0272-8842

Bauxite residue, the principal waste from the Bayer process, was dried, pressed and studied for its thermal and sintering behaviour under different atmospheres, up to 1100 degrees C. For sintering in air and N-2, shrinkage begins at 800 degrees C and ranges from 2.6% to 13.9%, after firing at 1000-1100 degrees C. Bulk density varies from 1.7 to 2.3 g/cm(3) whereas water absorption from 31.5% to 17.7%. The main crystalline phases identified on firing in air were hematite (Fe2O3), gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7) and perovskite (CaTiO3) whereas magnetite (Fe3O4) was also found on firing in N-2. Microstructures are characterised by irregularly shaped, <20 mu m Feret diameter, pores in a ceramic matrix with interconnected porosity. The average pore size is greater in samples fired in N-2. On sintering in 4%H-2/Ar, shrinkage begins at 710 degrees C. After firing at 1100 degrees C, shrinkage is 20.1% and water absorption 1%. The main crystalline phases are magnetite, wustite (FeO), gehlenite and perovskite. Mcrostructures are characterised by a compact heterogeneous matrix, with isolated <15 mu m. Feret diameter, closed pores. The grains have reacted with the adjacent phase and their shape is rounded with no sharp facets. Increased sintering temperature results in improved physical properties for all atmospheres tested and in higher average pore size when sintering takes place in air and N-2. The use of magnetite-reducing sintering conditions can potentially assist in the production of a variety of ceramic compositions containing bauxite residue. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group.

Stephen McGough A, Lee W, Das S, 2008, A standards based approach to enabling legacy applications on the Grid, Pages: 731-743, ISSN: 0167-739X

The Grid holds great potential for users, software developers and resource owners. Users of the Grid are abstracted away from its complexity, while software developers are being provided with a rich middleware in which to develop their applications without the need for a large investment in resources. Resource owners are able to expose their resources, potentially for financial reward, without the need to invest in software. However, as most of the applications which currently exist pre-date the concept of the Grid, they lack the appropriate functionality and/or modularization to exploit it. In this paper we propose the use of a standards based job submission and monitoring system which is capable of deploying legacy applications onto existing resources within the Grid, environment containers for mapping applications into Grid applications, along with the use of web-based portals to expose these applications to the end user. We further propose that applications which comprise a number of legacy tasks can be handled through the use of a workflow enactment service submitting each of these tasks through the standards based job submission system. We exemplify our approach through the e-Protein project by taking their existing proteome annotation software and exposing it as a Grid service. We show how the use of this technique over the Grid can significantly reduce the makespan required for the application.

Glass composite materials (GCM) are versatile wasteforms for immobilising various typesof both radioactive and hazardous wastes. We review current research on the utilisation of GCMsfor hazardous and radioactive waste immobilisation. Compared to homogeneous glassy materialsGCMs can incorporate larger amounts of waste elements and, in the case of glass matrixcomposites, they can be produced using lower processing temperatures (by viscous flowsintering) than those of conventional melting.

Lee W, Bindman J, Ford T, Glozier N, Moran P, Stewart R, Hotopf Met al., 2007, Bias in psychiatric case-control studies: literature survey., Br J Psychiatry, Vol: 190, Pages: 204-209, ISSN: 0007-1250

BACKGROUND: Case-control studies are vulnerable to selection and information biases which may generate misleading findings. AIMS: To assess the quality of methodological reporting of case-control studies published in general psychiatric journals. METHOD: All the case-control studies published over a 2-year period in the six general psychiatric journals with impact factors of more than 3 were assessed by a group of psychiatrists with training in epidemiology using a structured assessment devised for the purpose. The measured study quality was compared across type of exposure and journal. RESULTS: The reporting of methods in the 408 identified papers was generally poor, with basic information about recruitment of participants often absent. Reduction of selection bias was described best in the "pencil and paper" studies and worst in the genetic studies. Neuroimaging studies reported the most safeguards against information bias. Measurement of exposure was reported least well in studies determining the exposure with a biological test. CONCLUSIONS: Poor reporting of recruitment strategies threatens the validity of reported results and reduces the generalisability of studies.
