Hard measures for soft stuff: citizenship indicators and educational policy under the Lisbon Strategy (2008)
Journal Article
Holford, J. (2008). Hard measures for soft stuff: citizenship indicators and educational policy under the Lisbon Strategy. European Educational Research Journal, 7(3), https://doi.org/10.2304/eerj.2008.7.3.331

How far is the European Union a vehicle for inclusion and empowerment of a new range of policy actors in education? This article explores the role of actors in policy formation through a case study. It examines European Union attempts since 2000 to d... Read More about Hard measures for soft stuff: citizenship indicators and educational policy under the Lisbon Strategy.

RVM-based multi-class classification of remotely sensed data (2008)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2008). RVM-based multi-class classification of remotely sensed data. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 29(6), https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160701822115

The relevance vector machine (RVM), a Bayesian extension of the support vector machine (SVM), has considerable potential for the analysis of remotely sensed data. Here, the RVM is introduced and used to derive a multi-class classification of land cov... Read More about RVM-based multi-class classification of remotely sensed data.

Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment (2008)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2008). Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 29(11), https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160701442120

Thematic mapping via a classification analysis is one of the most common applications of remote sensing. The accuracy of image classifications is, however, often viewed negatively. Here, it is suggested that the approach to the evaluation of image cl... Read More about Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment.

Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans (2008)
Journal Article
Dawe, A. S., Nylund, R., Leszczynski, D., Kuster, N., Reader, T., & de Pomerai, D. I. (2008). Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioelectromagnetics, 29(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/bem.20366

Recent data suggest that there might be a subtle thermal explanation for the apparent induction by radiofrequency (RF) radiation of transgene expression from a small-heat-shock-protein (hsp16-1) promoter in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. The R... Read More about Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields (2008)
Journal Article
Czogiel, I., Dryden, I. L., & Brignell, C. J. Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields. Manuscript submitted for publication

Statistical methodology is proposed for comparing molecular shapes. In order to account for the continuous nature of molecules, classical shape analysis methods are combined with techniques used for predicting random fields in spatial statistics. Ap...

Temporal and between-site variation in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from N.E. Poland: 2. The infracommunity level (2008)
Journal Article
Behnke, J., Bajer, A., Harris, P., Newington, L., Pidgeon, E., Rowlands, G., …Barnard, C. (2008). Temporal and between-site variation in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from N.E. Poland: 2. The infracommunity level. Parasitology, 135(8), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182008004484

The relative importance of temporal and spatial effects was assessed in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) in 3 woodland sites in N.E. Poland in the late summers of 1999 and 2002. Among common species the rank order of sites in rel... Read More about Temporal and between-site variation in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from N.E. Poland: 2. The infracommunity level.

Interventions for dysphagia in acute stroke (Review) (2008)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Bath-Hextall, F., & Smithard, D. (2008). Interventions for dysphagia in acute stroke (Review). Cochrane Library, 2008(3), https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD000323

Background It is unclear how dysphagic patients should be fed and treated after acute stroke. Objectives The objective of this review was to assess the effect of different management strategies for dysphagic stroke patients, in particular how and...

The mucosal cellular response to infection with Ancylostoma ceylanicum (2008)
Journal Article
Alkazmi, L., Dehlawi, M., & Behnke, J. (2008). The mucosal cellular response to infection with Ancylostoma ceylanicum. Journal of Helminthology, 82(1), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022149X07867733

Although hookworms are known to stimulate inflammatory responses in the intestinal mucosa of their hosts, there is little quantitative data on this aspect of infection. Here we report the results of experiments conducted in hamsters infected with Anc... Read More about The mucosal cellular response to infection with Ancylostoma ceylanicum.

Low organisational justice and heavy drinking: a prospective cohort study (2008)
Journal Article
Kouvonen, A., Kivimaki, M., Elovainio, M., Vaananen, A., De Vogli, R., Heponiemi, T., …Vahtera, J. (2008). Low organisational justice and heavy drinking: a prospective cohort study. Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 65(1),

Objectives: To investigate whether low perceived organisational injustice predicts heavy drinking among employees. Methods: Data from the prospective occupational cohort study, the 10-Town Study, related to 15 290 Finnish public sector local govern...
