Polymers with hydro-responsive topography identi?ed using high throughput AFM of an acrylate microarray (2011)
Journal Article

Atomic force microscopy has been applied to an acrylate polymer microarray to achieve a full topographic characterisation. This process discovered a small number of hydro-responsive materials created from monomers with disparate hydrophilicities that...

Tinnitus referral pathways within the National Health Service in England: a survey of their perceived effectiveness among audiology staff (2011)
Journal Article

Background: In the UK, audiology services deliver the majority of tinnitus patient care, but not all patients experience the same level of service. In 2009, the Department of Health released a Good Practice Guide to inform commissioners about key asp...

Molecular dynamics simulations using graphics processing units (2011)
Journal Article

It is increasingly easy to develop software that exploits Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The molecular dynamics simulation community has embraced this recent opportunity. Herein, we outline the current approaches that exploit this technology. In t... Read More about Molecular dynamics simulations using graphics processing units.

Revealing the genetic structure of a trait by sequencing a population under selection (2011)
Journal Article

One approach to understanding the genetic basis of traits is to study their pattern of inheritance among offspring of phenotypically different parents. Previously, such analysis has been limited by low mapping resolution, high labor costs, and large...

Task-related default mode network modulation and inhibitory control in ADHD: effects of motivation and methylphenidate (2011)
Journal Article

Background: Deficits characteristic of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including poor attention and inhibitory control, are at least partially alleviated by factors that increase engagement of attention, suggesting a hypodopaminergic...

‘No more Hoares to Paris’: British foreign policymaking and the Abyssinian Crisis, 1935 (2011)
Journal Article

Italy’s invasion of Abyssinia in October 1935 prompted a major European crisis. This article applies the main theories of foreign policy analysis to the British Government’s handling of this crisis. It argues that bureaucratic politics existed, but h... Read More about ‘No more Hoares to Paris’: British foreign policymaking and the Abyssinian Crisis, 1935.

STAT1 signaling is not regulated by a phosphorylation-acetylation switch (2011)
Journal Article

The treatment of cells with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) was reported to reveal the acetylation of STAT1 at lysine 410 and lysine 413 (O. H. Kra¨mer et al., Genes Dev. 20:473–485, 2006). STAT1 acetylation was proposed to regulate apoptosi... Read More about STAT1 signaling is not regulated by a phosphorylation-acetylation switch.

Maternal nutrient restriction during late gestation and early postnatal growth in sheep differentially reset the control of energy metabolism in the gastric mucosa (2011)
Journal Article

Fetal growth restriction followed by accelerated postnatal growth contributes to impaired metabolic function in adulthood. The extent to which these outcomes may be mediated centrally within the hypothalamus, as opposed to in the periphery within the...

Scanning electrochemical microscopy at thermal sprayed anti-corrosion coatings: effect of thermal spraying on heterogeneous electron transfer kinetics (2011)
Journal Article

The effect of thermal spraying on the electrochemical activity of an anti-corrosion superalloy was studied quantitatively using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The superalloy used was Inconel 625 (a Ni base superalloy) and thin coatings o...

Both, toxin A and toxin B, are important in Clostridium difficile infection (2011)
Journal Article

The bacterium Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of healthcare associated diarrhoea in the developed world and thus presents a major financial burden. The main virulence factors of C. difficile are two large toxins, A and B. Over the years th... Read More about Both, toxin A and toxin B, are important in Clostridium difficile infection.

Influence of the thermophysical properties of pavement materials on the evolution of temperature depth profiles in different climatic regions (2011)
Journal Article

The paper summarizes the relative influence of different pavement thermo-physical properties on the thermal response of pavement cross-sections, and how their relative behaviour changes in different climatic regions. A simplified one-dimensional heat... Read More about Influence of the thermophysical properties of pavement materials on the evolution of temperature depth profiles in different climatic regions.

The politics of protest in newspaper campaigns: dissent, populism and the rhetoric of authenticity (2011)
Journal Article

Newspaper campaigns embody newspaper’ most emphatic claims to speak for ‘the people’, and as such are generally regarded as populist. However, they can be oppositional, engaging in dissent of one sort or another, and often assume a certain amount of...
