Materialising contexts: virtual soundscapes for real-world exploration.

This article presents the results of a study based on a group of participants' interactions with an experimental sound installation at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, UK. The installation used audio augmented reality to attach virtual sound sources to a vintage radio receiver from the museum's collection, with a view to understanding the potentials of this technology for promoting exploration and engagement within museums and galleries. We employ a practice-based design ethnography, including a thematic analysis of our participants' interactions with spatialised interactive audio, and present an identified sequence of interactional phases.

Building accountability into the Internet of Things: the IoT Databox model.

This paper outlines the IoT Databox model as a means of making the Internet of Things (IoT) accountable to individuals. Accountability is a key to building consumer trust and is mandated by the European Union's general data protection regulation (GDPR). We focus here on the 'external' data subject accountability requirement specified by GDPR and how meeting this requirement turns on surfacing the invisible actions and interactions of connected devices and the social arrangements in which they are embedded.

Reduced bone mineral density in SOCS-2-deficient mice.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling-2 (SOCS-2) is a member of the suppressor of cytokine signaling family, implicated in the negative regulation of cytokine action through inhibition of the Janus kinase (JAK) signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) signal transduction pathway. We have previously reported that SOCS-2-/- mice display an increased longitudinal skeletal growth associated with a deregulated GH/IGF-I signaling. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of SOCS-2 in the regulation of bone mineral density (BMD).
