Investigating participation in Advanced level mathematics: a study of student drop out (2009)
Journal Article
There has for some years been a growing concern about participation in university-entrance level mathematics in England and across the developed world. Extensive statistical analyses present the decline but offer little to help us understand the cau...

The human papillomavirus E7-E2 interaction mechanism in vitro reveals a finely turned system for modulating available E7 and E2 proteins (2009)
Journal Article
Transcription of the human papillomavirus E7 oncoprotein is negatively controlled by the viral E2 protein, and loss of this repression leads to irreversible transformation and carcinogenesis. Here we show that interaction of the HPV16 E7 protein with...

Architecture and distribution of human corneal nerves (2009)
Journal Article
Trading Auntie: the exploitation and protection of intellectual property rights during the BBC’s monopoly years (2009)
Journal Article
Most histories of British television date the emergence of a trade in programming to the mid- to late-1950s when recording technologies turned previously ephemeral programmes into exchangeable goods and ITV brought a commercial impetus to British bro...

Reading through photography: Roland Barthes’s last seminar “Proust et la photographie” (2009)
Journal Article
Focused on Roland Barthes’s notes for the last seminar of his Collège de France lecture series, entitled “Proust et la photographie,” this article considers the later Barthes’s conceptions of reading and writing, arguing that they are closely intertw...

Vitamin D - a new treatment for airway remodelling in asthma? (2009)
Journal Article
Increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass plays a critical role in chronic asthmatic airway remodelling. ASM cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia are likely to contribute to increased ASM mass and a variety of mitogens induce ASM proliferation in cell cu...

Eucharistic celebrations: the chasm between idea and action (2009)
Journal Article
The two changes (1, a new rite; and 2. the move to the vernacular) that occurred in the eucharistic liturgy of the Roman Rite have often been seen as simply evolutionary, liturgical variations: this perception suited that time of great change in the...

A comparative analysis of the fluorescence properties of the wild-type and active site mutants of the hepatitis C virus autoprotease NS2-3 (2009)
Journal Article
Hepatitis C virus encodes an autoprotease, NS2-3, which is required for processing of the viral polyprotein between the non-structural NS2 and NS3 proteins. This protease activity is vital for the replication and assembly of the virus and therefore r...

Cosmological and Black Hole Spacetimes in Twisted Noncommutative Gravity (2009)
Journal Article
We derive noncommutative Einstein equations for abelian twists and their solutions in consistently symmetry reduced sectors, corresponding to twisted FRW cosmology and Schwarzschild black holes. While some of these solutions must be rejected as model... Read More about Cosmological and Black Hole Spacetimes in Twisted Noncommutative Gravity.
Clinical trials: the viewpoint of children with a chronic illness compared with healthy children (2009)
Journal Article
The views of over 200 children (11–16 years old, who were either healthy or attending paediatric medical clinics with a chronic illness) on issues relating to paediatric clinical trials were determined by a questionnaire. Children with a chronic illn... Read More about Clinical trials: the viewpoint of children with a chronic illness compared with healthy children.
Determination of material parameters in the chaboche unified viscoplasticty model (2009)
Journal Article
An experimental programme of cyclic mechanical testing of a 316 stainless steel, at temperatures up to 600°C, under isothermal conditions, for the identification of material constitutive constants, has been carried out using a thermo-mechanical fatig...

An integrative computational model for intestinal tissue renewal (2009)
Journal Article
Objectives: The luminal surface of the gut is lined with a monolayer of epithelial cells that acts as a nutrient absorptive engine and protective barrier. To maintain its integrity and functionality, the epithelium is renewed every few days. Theoreti... Read More about An integrative computational model for intestinal tissue renewal.
Evaluation of pathogenicity and aggressiveness of F. langsethiae on oat and wheat seedlings relative to known seedling blight pathogens (2009)
Journal Article
Fusarium and Microdochium species are causal agents of seedling blight of small-grain cereal crops where they may contribute to a significant reduction in crop establishment and final yield. Two experiments were carried out to investigate the potenti...

The ins and outs of biosecurity: bird 'flu in East Anglia and the spatial representation of risk (2009)
Journal Article
Avian influenza, or 'bird 'flu' arrived in Norfolk in April 2006 in the form of the low pathogenic strain H7N3. In February 2007 a highly pathogenic strain, H5N1, which can pose a risk to humans, was discovered in Suffolk. We examine how a local news...

Reconceptualising the right of silence as an effective fair trial standard (2009)
Journal Article
As the European Court of Human Rights has come to qualify the privilege against self-incrimination and the right of silence in recent decisions, this article argues that the Court has failed to provide a convincing rationale for these rights. It is c... Read More about Reconceptualising the right of silence as an effective fair trial standard.
Heligmosomoides bakeri: a model for exploring the biology and genetics of resistance to chronic gastrointestinal nematode infections (2009)
Journal Article
The intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri has undergone 2 name changes during the last 4 decades. Originally, the name conferred on the organism in the early 20th century was Nematospiroides dubius, but this was dropped in favour of Heligmosomoi...
