Copro-antigen capture ELISA for the detection of Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcincta in sheep: improvement of specificity by heat treatment (2004)
Journal Article
A copro-antigen capture ELISA for the detection of Teladorsagia circumcincta infection in sheep was developed and evaluated. Experiments with faeces from worm-free sheep, that had been spiked with known concentrations of excretory-secretory (E–S) ant...

Perpetual creativity in the perfection of God: Ibn Taymiyya's Hadith commentary on God's creation of this world (2004)
Journal Article
The course of the Islamic debate over the origin of the world through Ibn Rushd (d. 595/1198) is well known. Kalam theologians and al-Ghazali seek to prove the temporal origination of the world, while philosophers such as Ibn Sina argue for the world...

Ageing in a non-heterosexual context. (2004)
Journal Article
There is increasing recognition of the importance of social and cultural differences in shaping the diversity of the ageing experience in contemporary Britain. Various social and cultural factors, such as those associated with class, ethnicity, gend... Read More about Ageing in a non-heterosexual context..
Time, Liberal Justice and UK Social Policies (2004)
Journal Article
While analyses of time have never strayed too far away from those of social justice, and vice versa, this article's premise is that they have so far failed to converge as directly and coherently as they might. The aim of this article is to facilitat... Read More about Time, Liberal Justice and UK Social Policies.
Social Policy and Time (2004)
Journal Article
Time is crucial to the implementation, operation and effectiveness of social policies, yet the subject has often treated the meaning of time as theoretically unproblematic. It focuses more upon what policies do and less upon the contexts within whi... Read More about Social Policy and Time.

Databases "sui generis" right: should we adopt the spin-off theory? (2004)
Journal Article
Eight years have passed since the Database Directive was enacted. A relatively abundant body of case law has now emerged but courts remain divided or uncertain over a number of issues. One of them is the most important question of the protection re... Read More about Databases "sui generis" right: should we adopt the spin-off theory?.
Variation in the helminth community structure in spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) from four montane wadis in the St Katherine region of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt (2004)
Journal Article
We compared helminth communities in spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) from 4 wadis in the arid montane region of the southern Sinai in Egypt, in a 4-week period in late summer. Total helminth species richness was 14 (8 nematodes, 5 cestodes and 1 acanth...

High glucose mediates prooxidant and antioxidant enzyme activities in coronary endothelial cells (2004)
Journal Article
Objective: Excess levels of free radicals such as nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O2-)are associated with the pathogenesis of endothelial cell dysfunction in diabetes mellitus. This study was designed to investigate the underlying causes of o... Read More about High glucose mediates prooxidant and antioxidant enzyme activities in coronary endothelial cells.
Nitric oxide synthase and NAD(P)H oxidase modulate coronary endothelial cell growth (2004)
Journal Article
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O2-) are associated with cell migration, proliferation and many growth-related diseases. The objective of this study was to determine whether there was a reciprocal relat... Read More about Nitric oxide synthase and NAD(P)H oxidase modulate coronary endothelial cell growth.
Poor encoding of position by contrast-defined motion (2004)
Journal Article
Second-order (contrast-defined) motion stimuli lead to poor performance on a number of tasks, including discriminating form from motion and visual search. To investigate this deficiency, we tested the ability of human observers to monitor multiple re... Read More about Poor encoding of position by contrast-defined motion.
Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms (2004)
Journal Article
The aim of this research is twofold: Firstly, to model and solve a complex nurse scheduling problem with an integer programming formulation and evolutionary algorithms. Secondly, to detail a novel statistical method of comparing and hence building be... Read More about Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms.
An Indirect Genetic Algorithm for a Nurse Scheduling Problem (2004)
Journal Article
This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problems in the past, they always had to overcome the limitations...

Efficient delivery of Cre-recombinase to neurons in vivo and stable transduction of neurons using adeno-associated and lentiviral vectors (2004)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Inactivating genes in vivo is an important technique for establishing their function in the adult nervous system. Unfortunately, conventional knockout mice may suffer from several limitations including embryonic or perinatal lethality and...
