China's charm offensive and peacekeeping: the lessons of Cambodia – what now for Sudan? (2011)
Journal Article

China's participation in UN peacekeeping is often viewed as a part of a global ‘charm offensive’ aimed at enhancing China's image in host countries. However, when viewed in the light of its support for dictatorial regimes in those host countries, do...

Role of amygdala-prefrontal cortex circuitry in regulating the expression of contextual fear memory (2011)
Journal Article

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are inter-connected regions involved in fear memory expression. The reciprocal nature of projections between these areas differs along the rostrocaudal extent of BLA. This study inves...

An investigation of the failure mechanisms in high temperature materials subjected to isothermal and anisothermal fatigue and creep conditions (2011)
Journal Article

Many engineering components are subjected to conditions which have a detrimental effect on the materials from which they are made. Such components are used, for example, within high temperature regions of aeroengines (e.g. turbine discs) and power pl...

Expression of thioredoxin system and related peroxiredoxin proteins is associated with clinical outcome in radiotherapy treated early stage breast cancer (2011)
Journal Article

Background and purpose Deregulated redox systems provide cancer cells protection from increased oxidative stress, such as that induced by ionizing radiation. Expression of the thioredoxin system proteins (thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and thior...

Use of the Affymetrix human GeneChip array and genomic DNA hybridisation probe selection to study ovine transcriptomes (2011)
Journal Article

Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays are a powerful tool to study global gene expression profiles and have been used on many species. However, no sheep-specific Affymetrix GeneChip is currently available and the bovine array is fairly limited in its cover...

Trans-local academic credentials and the (re)production of financial elites (2011)
Journal Article

This paper examines the ways in which credentials from a range of education providers are used to (re)produce transnational financial elites in London's international financial district. Extant research has examined the long-standing relationship bet... Read More about Trans-local academic credentials and the (re)production of financial elites.

The impact of spatial fluctuations in the ultra-violet background on intergalactic carbon and silicon (2011)
Journal Article

Spatial inhomogeneities in the spectral shape of the ultra-violet background (UVB) at the tail-end of HeII reionisation are thought to be the primary cause of the large fluctuations observed in the HeII to HI Ly-a forest optical depth ratio, tau_HeII...

Multiscale analysis of pattern formation via intercellular signalling (2011)
Journal Article

Lateral inhibition, a juxtacrine signalling mechanism by which a cell adopting a particular fate inhibits neighbouring cells from doing likewise, has been shown to be a robust mechanism for the formation of fine-grained spatial patterns (in which adj...

Purpose: To examine the effect of dopamine depletion in nucleus accumbens on trace conditioning; to distinguish the role of core and shell sub-regions, as far as possible. Material/Methods: 6-hydroxydopamine was used to lesion dopamine terminals with... Read More about Catecholaminergic depletion in nucleus accumbens enhances trace conditioning.

The effect of catecholaminergic depletion within the prelimbic and infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex on recognition memory for recency, location, and objects (2011)
Journal Article

There is good evidence that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is involved in different aspects of recognition memory. However, the mPFC is a heterogeneous structure, and the contribution of the prelimbic (PL) and infralimbic (IL) cortices to recogn...
