Suppression to visual, auditory, and gustatory stimuli habituates normally in rats with excitotoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex (2009)
Journal Article

In 3 habituation experiments, rats with excitotoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex were found to be indistinguishable from control rats. Two of the habituation experiments examined the habituation of suppression of responding on an appetitive, inst...

Tackling NHS staff stress levels in an ‘eggstraordinary’ way (2009)
Journal Article
Lee, S., & Blake, H. (2009). Tackling NHS staff stress levels in an ‘eggstraordinary’ way. Health Psychology Update, 18(2), 8-13

Occupational stress levels amongst employees are a key area of concern for the National Health Service with Government calls for healthcare employers to provide a positive ‘health culture’ and facilities which encourage staff to consider their own he...

Lithological mapping of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, using airborne LiDAR topographic data (2009)
Journal Article
Grebby, S., Cunningham, D., Naden, J., & Tansey, K. (2010). Lithological mapping of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, using airborne LiDAR topographic data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 114(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2009.11.006

Traditional field-based lithological mapping can be a time-consuming, costly and challenging endeavour when large areas need to be investigated, where terrain is remote and difficult to access and where the geology is highly variable over short dista...

Identification of sortase A (SrtA) substrates in Streptococcus uberis: evidence for an additional hexapeptide (LPXXXD) sorting motif (2009)
Journal Article
Egan, S. A., Kurian, D., Ward, P. N., Hunt, L., & Leigh, J. A. (2009). Identification of sortase A (SrtA) substrates in Streptococcus uberis: evidence for an additional hexapeptide (LPXXXD) sorting motif. Journal of Proteome Research, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1021/pr901025w

Sortase (a transamidase) has been shown to be responsible for the covalent attachment of proteins to the bacterial cell wall. Anchoring is effected on secreted proteins containing a specific cell wall motif toward their C-terminus; that for sortase A...

Evolution and stability of cosmic string loops with Y-junctions (2009)
Journal Article
Bevis, N., Copeland, E. J., Martin, P.-Y., Niz, G., Pourtsidou, A., Saffin, P. M., & Steer, D. (2009). Evolution and stability of cosmic string loops with Y-junctions. Physical Review D, 80(12), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.80.125030

We study the evolution of non-periodic cosmic string loops containing Y-junctions, such as may form during the evolution of a network of (p,q) cosmic superstrings. We set up and solve the Nambu-Goto equations of motion for a loop with junctions, focu... Read More about Evolution and stability of cosmic string loops with Y-junctions.

Comparative attainment of 5-year undergraduate and 4-year graduate entry medical students moving into foundation training (2009)
Journal Article
Manning, G., & Garrud, P. (2009). Comparative attainment of 5-year undergraduate and 4-year graduate entry medical students moving into foundation training. BMC Medical Education, 9(76), https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6920-9-76

Background Graduate entry medicine is a recent innovation in UK medical training. Evidence is sparse at present as to progress and attainment on these programmes. Shared clinical rotations, between an established 5-year and a new graduate entry co...

Physiological concentrations of dietary polyphenols regulate vascular endothelial cell expression of genes important in cardiovascular health (2009)
Journal Article

Previous cell culture-based studies have shown potential health beneficial effects on gene expression of dietary polyphenols, including those found in red wine and green tea. However, these studies have tended to use higher concentrations (2-100m) th...

The democratic role of campaign journalism: partisan representation and public participation (2009)
Journal Article
Birks, J. (2010). The democratic role of campaign journalism: partisan representation and public participation. Journalism Practice, 4(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/17512780903407437

Campaign journalism is a distinctive but under-researched form of editorialised news reporting that aims to influence politicians rather than inform voters. In this it diverges from liberal norms of social responsibility, but instead campaigning new...

Health, hygiene and biosecurity: tribal knowledge claims in the UK poultry industry (2009)
Journal Article
Nerlich, B., Brown, B., & Crawford, P. (2009). Health, hygiene and biosecurity: tribal knowledge claims in the UK poultry industry. Health, Risk and Society, 11(6), https://doi.org/10.1080/13698570903329441

Since 1997 the world has been facing the threat of a human influenza pandemic that may be caused by an avian virus and the poultry industry around the globe has been grappling with the highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza H5N1, or in more info...

Second-order elliptic PDE with discontinuous boundary data (2009)
Journal Article
Houston, P., & Wihler, T. P. Second-order elliptic PDE with discontinuous boundary data. Manuscript submitted for publication

We shall consider the weak formulation of a linear elliptic model problem with discontinuous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Since such problems are typically not well-defined in the standard H^1-H^1 setting, we will introduce a suitable saddle point...

Impaired S-phase arrest in acute myeloid leukemia cells with a FLT3 internal tandem duplication treated with clofarabine (2009)
Journal Article

Purpose: Acute myeloid leukemia cells with an internal tandem duplication mutation of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) have effective DNA repair mechanisms on exposure to drugs. Despite this, the phenotype is not associated with primary resistant disease. We show def...
