Organisational learning in a political environment: Improving policy-making in UK government (2004)
Journal Article
This article observes that the political environment will always compromise the application of the organisational learning concept in government. In an attempt to overcome this problem, it seeks to demonstrate that a conceptual synthesis between poli...

Cl− Influx into Rat Cortical Lens Fiber Cells Is Mediated by a Cl− Conductance That Is Not ClC-2 or -3 (2004)
Journal Article
PURPOSE. Exposure of organ-cultured lenses to C1- channel blockers under isotonic conditions induces a localized cortical zone of extracellular space dilations. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether elongated lens fiber cells from this...

Uranyl-citrate speciation in acidic aqueous solutions - An XAS study between 25 and 200 °C (2004)
Journal Article
Speciation of uranium(VI) in citrate (2-hydroxypropane-1,2, 3-tricarboxylic acid) solutions between 25 and 200 °C, at pH values between 0.8 and 3.7 and at citrate/U ratios between 0.5 and 50 has been investigated using U LIII-edge X-ray absorption sp...

Organ-specificity, colonization and clearance dynamics in vivo following oral challenges with the murine pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (2004)
Journal Article
In the article by Wiles et al. (2004) the wild-type Citrobacter rodentium (and naladixic acid-resistant derivative) strain used was not David Schauer's DBS100 (Schauer et al., 1993) but ICC168 which is a wild-type strain (formally Citrobacter freundi...

Molecular tagging of a senescence gene by introgression mapping of a stay-green mutation from Festuca pratensis (2004)
Journal Article
Intergeneric hybrids between Lolium multiflorum and Festuca pratensis (Lm/Fp) and their derivatives exhibit a unique combination of genetic and cytogenetic characteristics: chromosomes undergo a high frequency of homoeologous recombination at meiosis...

The Sparta and the Athens Of Our Age At Daggers Drawn: Polities, Perceptions, and Peace (2004)
Journal Article
While historically notions of democracy have varied widely, democratic peace theory has generally defined it in procedural terms. This article takes a close look at the Anglo-French confrontation of 1840. I show that while leaders on both sides were...

Calixthe Beyala: black face(s) on French TV (2004)
Journal Article
As president and spokeswoman of the French black rights movement, Collectif Egalité, Cameroonian-born novelist Calixthe Beyala is committed to pushing for an improvement in the representation of black people on television in France. This article disc... Read More about Calixthe Beyala: black face(s) on French TV.
Herpes simplex virus VP22-human papillomavirus E2 fusion proteins produced in mammalian or bacterial cells enter mammalian cells and induce apoptotic cell death (2004)
Journal Article
Infection by high‐risk HPV (human papillomavirus) is supposed to be the primary cause of cervical cancer. The HPV E2 protein (E2) is a DNA‐binding protein that regulates viral gene expression and is required for efficient viral replication. Overexpre...

Impaired immunity to intestinal bacterial infection in stromelysin-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-3)-deficient mice (2004)
Journal Article
Infection of mice with the intestinal bacterial pathogen Citrobacter rodentium results in colonic mucosal hyperplasia and a local Th1 inflammatory response similar to that seen in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease. Matrix metalloproteinases... Read More about Impaired immunity to intestinal bacterial infection in stromelysin-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-3)-deficient mice.
Activity profile of dust mite allergen extract using substrate libraries and functional proteomic microarrays (2004)
Journal Article
Enzymatic activity in the fecal droppings from the house dust mite has been postulated to contribute to the elicited allergic response. Screening dust mite extracts through 137,180 tetrapeptide fluorogenic substrates allowed for the characterization...

What do universities want from publishing? (2004)
Journal Article
At a simple level, universities want publishing to support and further their mission to carry out research and teaching. However at a detailed level there are major differences within and between universities which mean there will be different wants... Read More about What do universities want from publishing?.
Human motivation and professional practice: of knights, knaves and social workers (2004)
Journal Article
Efforts to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of public services by harnessing the self-interest of professionals in state agencies have been widely debated in the recent literature on welfare state reform. In the context of social services, o... Read More about Human motivation and professional practice: of knights, knaves and social workers.
Directed percolation in a two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model (2004)
Journal Article
In this paper we establish, from extensive numerical experiments, that the two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model belongs to the directed percolation universality class. This model is an idealized model of intracellular calcium release th... Read More about Directed percolation in a two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model.
Chaotic mixing of a competitive-consecutive reaction (2004)
Journal Article
The evolution of a competitive-consecutive chemical reaction is computed numerically in a two-dimensional chaotic fluid flow with initially segregated reactants. Results from numerical simulations are used to evaluate a variety of reduced models c... Read More about Chaotic mixing of a competitive-consecutive reaction.
Evans functions for integral neural field equations with Heaviside firing rate function (2004)
Journal Article
In this paper we show how to construct the Evans function for traveling wave solutions of integral neural field equations when the firing rate function is a Heaviside. This allows a discussion of wave stability and bifurcation as a function of syste... Read More about Evans functions for integral neural field equations with Heaviside firing rate function.
