Are All the Frames Equally Important?
(Chapter, 2020)In this work, we address the problem of measuring and predicting temporal video saliency - a metric which defines the importance of a video frame for human attention. Unlike the conventional spatial saliency which defines ... -
Are bioplastics and plant-based materials safer than conventional plastics? In vitro toxicity and chemical composition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plastics contain a complex mixture of known and unknown chemicals; some of which can be toxic. Bioplastics and plant-based materials are marketed as sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. However, little is known ... -
Are born global firms really a “new breed” of exporters? Empirical evidence from an emerging market
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This study investigates and compares born global (BG) firms and non-BG firms in Malaysia. We employed the multigroup analysis technique with structural equation models to test six hypotheses to determine the differences ... -
Are cuckoos maximizing egg mimicry by selecting host individuals with better matching egg phenotypes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Avian brood parasites and their hosts are involved in complex offence-defense coevolutionary arms races. The most common pair of reciprocal adaptations in these systems is egg discrimination by hosts and egg ... -
Are Differences in Physical Activity across Socioeconomic Groups Associated with Choice of Physical Activity Variables to Report?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Despite being challenged in recent years, the hypothesis that individuals of higher socioeconomic status (SES) are more physically active than their lower SES counterparts is generally considered a fact. Recent reviews, ... -
Are emergency admissions in palliative cancer care always necessary? Results from a descriptive study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Objectives: Patients with advanced cancer are often admitted to hospital as emergency cases. This may not always be medically indicated. Study objectives were to register the reasons for the emergency admissions, to examine ... -
Are Estimates of Non-Standard Employment Wage Penalties Robust to Different Wage Measures? The Case of Zero-hour Contracts in the UK
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Evidence suggests that non-standard jobs are associated with wage penalties. Yet, these jobs possess a range of undesirable characteristics that should generate compensating wage differentials. This evidence relies on ... -
ARE EUROPEAN SECURITY POLICIES READY FOR ADVANCED METERING SYSTEMS WITH CLOUD BACK-ENDS?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Advanced metering systems deployed in Europe are enablers of distributed power production where prosumers can feed surplus energy into the grid. Successfully managing complex energy systems requires real-time data access, ... -
Are faecal microbiota analyses on species-level suitable clinical biomarkers? A pilot study in subjects with morbid obesity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: An abnormal faecal microbiota could be a causal factor for disease. This study evaluated a new method for faecal microbiota analysis in subjects with obesity and irritable bowel syndrome. Methods: The study had ... -
Are farmed European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) prices in European Union markets affected by Turkish exports of farmed European seabass?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Often, increases in farmed seabass and seabream production surpluses from Turkey and Greece have been blamed to lead to price declines and aquaculture sector crises. In this study, we investigate whether Turkish exports ... -
Are gender differences in upper-body power generated by elite cross-country skiers augmented by increasing the intensity of exercise?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)In the current study, we evaluated the impact of exercise intensity on gender differences in upper-body poling among cross-country skiers, as well as the associated differences in aerobic capacity, maximal strength, body ... -
Are green and blue hydrogen competitive or complementary? Insights from a decarbonized European power system analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Hydrogen will be important in decarbonized energy systems. The primary ways to produce low emission hydrogen are from renewable electricity using electrolyzers, called green hydrogen, and by reforming natural gas and ... -

Are Left- and Right-Eye Pupil Sizes Always Equal?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Eye movements provide very critical information about the cognitive load and behaviors of human beings. Earlier studies report that under normal conditions, the left- and right-eye pupil sizes are equal. For this reason, ... -
Are levator hiatal dimensions in mid-pregnancy associated with mode of delivery?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction and hypothesis Slow progress of labour is a risk for operative delivery. Smaller levator hiatal dimensions are possible risk factors for slow progress and operative delivery. Our aim was to explore associations ... -
Are model organisms representative for climate change research? Testing thermal tolerance in wild and laboratory zebrafish populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Model organisms can be useful for studying climate change impacts, but it is unclear whether domestication to laboratory conditions has altered their thermal tolerance and therefore how representative of wild populations ... -
Are Modern Head-Mounted Displays Sexist? A Systematic Review on Gender Differences in HMD-Mediated Virtual Reality
