Modelling and analysis of planar cell polarity (2008)
Journal Article
Schamberg, S., Houston, P., Monk, N. A., & Owen, M. R. Modelling and analysis of planar cell polarity. Manuscript submitted for publication

Planar cell polarity (PCP) occurs in the epithelia of many animals and can lead to the alignment of hairs, bristles and feathers; physiologically, it can organise ciliary beating. Here we present two approaches to modelling this phenomenon. The aim i... Read More about Modelling and analysis of planar cell polarity.

The article analyses the 'ordinary' violence of revolutionary politics, particularly acts of gendered and sexual violence that tend to be neglected in the face of the 'extraordinariness' of political terror. Focusing on the extreme left Naxalbari mov... Read More about The grey zone: the 'ordinary' violence of extraordinary times.

Analysis of non-coherent fault trees using ternary decision diagrams (2008)
Journal Article

Journal Article
Martin, G. P. (2008). Representativeness, legitimacy and power in public involvement in health-care management. Social Science and Medicine, 67(11),

Public participation in health-service management is an increasingly prominent policy internationally.
