Mutations of the TGF-? type II receptor BMPR2 in pulmonary arterial hypertension (2006)
Journal Article

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is clinically characterized by a sustained elevation in mean pulmonary artery pressure leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The disorder is typically sporadic, and in such cases the term idiopathic PAH... Read More about Mutations of the TGF-? type II receptor BMPR2 in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Genetic mapping of a major gene affecting onion bulb fructan content (2006)
Journal Article

The non-structural dry matter content of onion bulbs consists principally of fructose, glucose, sucrose and fructans. The objective of this study was to understand the genetic basis for the wide variation observed in the relative amounts of these car...

Reconstructing the Origins and Dispersal of the Polynesian Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) (2006)
Journal Article

The origin of the Polynesian bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), an important crop species in prehistoric Polynesia, has remained elusive. Most recently, a South American origin has been favored as the bottle gourd could have been introduced from thi...

Asymmetric reduction of ?, ?-unsaturated ketone to (R) allylic alcohol by Candida chilensis (2006)
Journal Article

A pilot scale whole cell process was developed for the enantioselective 1,2‐reduction of prochiral α,β‐unsaturated ketone to (R) allylic alcohol using Candida chilensis. Initial development showed high enantiomeric excess (EE > 95%) but low product y... Read More about Asymmetric reduction of ?, ?-unsaturated ketone to (R) allylic alcohol by Candida chilensis.

Effects of the A2A adenosine receptor antagonist KW6002 in the nucleus accumbens in vitro and in vivo (2006)
Journal Article

In this study, we have used the selective A2A adenosine receptor antagonist KW6002 to investigate the function of A2A receptors in the Lister hooded rat nucleus accumbens in vitro and in vivo. Radioligand binding studies confirmed a greater than 50-f... Read More about Effects of the A2A adenosine receptor antagonist KW6002 in the nucleus accumbens in vitro and in vivo.

How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis (2006)
Journal Article

We challenge 3 prevailing concepts in understanding atopic dermatitis using data from epidemiologic studies. First, we show that although atopy is associated with atopic dermatitis to some degree, its importance is not likely to be a simple causea...

The ties that bind: the EU, the UN and international law (2006)
Journal Article

Reduced models of chemical reaction in chaotic flows (2006)
Journal Article

We describe and evaluate two reduced models for nonlinear chemical reactions in a chaotic laminar flow. Each model involves two separate steps to compute the chemical composition at a given location and time. The “manifold tracking model” first track...

Data Reduction in Intrusion Alert Correlation (2006)
Journal Article

Network intrusion detection sensors are usually built around low level models of network traffic. This means that their output is of a similarly low level and as a consequence, is difficult to analyze. Intrusion alert correlation is the task of autom...

Diatom D18O evidence for the development of the modern halocline system in the subarctic northwest Pacific at the onset of major Northern Hemisphere glaciation (2006)
Journal Article

Establishing a time frame for the development of the modern halocline and stratified water column in the subarctic North Pacific has significant paleoclimatic implications. Here we present a d18O(diatom) record consisting of only two species that rep...

Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia (2006)
Journal Article

Biogenic Silica (BSi) has been one of the most important proxies for determining the palaeoclimate from Lake Baikal over glacial-interglacial cycles. Concentrations (calculated through a 1% Na2CO3 wet-alkaline digestion) at a site in the north basin,...

European Cosmopolitan Solidarity (2006)
Journal Article

The idea of a cosmopolitan Europe continues to be central to contemporary debates within post-national citizenship. However, much of the writing in this area remains disconnected from the need to reinvent European social democracy that questions the... Read More about European Cosmopolitan Solidarity.

Implicit attitudes towards Genetically Modified (GM) foods: a comparison of context-free and context-dependent evaluations (2006)
Journal Article

Past research on attitudes towards GM food has focused on measuring explicit attitudes. Here we compared implicit attitudes towards GM foods with explicit attitudes towards GM foods. We used the Go No-Go task to investigate context-free implicit eval...

Examining consumer behaviour toward genetically modified (GM) food in Britain (2006)
Journal Article

This study examined behaviour towards genetically modified (GM) food in a British community-based sample. We used an equivalent gain task in which participants actually received the options they chose to encourage truthful responding. In conjunction...

Two kinds of naturalism in ethics (2006)
Journal Article

What are the conditions on a successful naturalistic account of moral properties? In this paper I discuss one such condition: the possibility of moral concepts playing a role in good empirical theories on a par with those of the natural and social sc...

The moral belief problem (2006)
Journal Article

The moral belief problem is that of reconciling expressivism in ethics with both minimalism in the philosophy of language and the syntactic discipline of moral sentences. It is argued that the problem can be solved by distinguishing minimal and robus... Read More about The moral belief problem.

Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe (2006)
Journal Article

Why do great powers expand? Offensive realist John Mearsheimer claims that states wage an eternal struggle for power, and that those strong enough to seek regional hegemony nearly always do. Mearsheimer's evidence, however, displays a selection bias.... Read More about Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe.
