Optimal construction of a fast and accurate polarisable water potential based on multipole moments trained by machine learning (2009)
Journal Article

To model liquid water correctly and to reproduce its structural, dynamic and thermodynamic properties warrants models that account accurately for electronic polarisation. We have previously demonstrated that polarisation can be represented by fluctua...

Differential protein expression by dendritic cells from atopic and non-atopic individuals after stimulation by the major house dust mite allergen der p 1 (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are sentinels of the immune system and are known to play a key role in allergic responses. However, it is not clear how DCs that have been exposed to an allergen support Th2 type immune responses. It is possible that...

In vitro assessment of the bioaccessibility of tocopherol and fatty acids from sunflower seed oil bodies (2009)
Journal Article

The in vitro digestibility (proteolytic and lipolytic) and bioaccessibility of nutritionally important compounds (α-tocopherol and fatty acids) have been studied for natural sunflower (Helianthus annuus) oil body suspensions in comparison to artifici...

Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration (2009)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose—High blood pressure (BP) is associated independently with poor outcome after acute ischemic stroke, although in most analyses “baseline” BP was measured 24 hours or more postictus, and not during the hyperacute period. Methods... Read More about Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration.

Knockdown of alpha myosin heavy chain disrupts the cytoskeleton and leads to multiple defects during chick cardiogenesis (2009)
Journal Article

Atrial septal defects are a common congenital heart defect in humans. Although mutations in different genes are now frequently being described, little is known about the processes and mechanisms behind the early stages of atrial septal development. B...

The dynamics of professions and development of new roles in public services organizations: the case of modern matrons in the English NHS (2009)
Journal Article

This study contributes to research examining how professional autonomy and hierarchy impacts upon the implementation of policy designed to improve the quality of public services delivery through the introduction of new managerial roles. It is based o... Read More about The dynamics of professions and development of new roles in public services organizations: the case of modern matrons in the English NHS.

“Be patient, dear mother … wait for me”: the neo-infirmity film, female illness and contemporary cinema (2009)
Journal Article

In social reality, illness and death occur in myriad ways, yet Hollywood films have historically preferred spectacular, violent death over realist depictions of the terminal stages of life. Yet an ever-growing number of popular films, which I term ne... Read More about “Be patient, dear mother … wait for me”: the neo-infirmity film, female illness and contemporary cinema.
