Crohn disease: A current perspective on genetics, autophagy and immunity (2011)
Journal Article

Crohn disease (CD) is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract.1 Prevalence in western populations is 100-150/100,000 and somewhat higher in Ashkenazi Jews. Peak incidence is in early adult life, although any ag... Read More about Crohn disease: A current perspective on genetics, autophagy and immunity.

Quantum Field Theory on Curved Noncommutative Spacetimes (2011)
Journal Article

We summarize our recently proposed approach to quantum field theory on noncommutative curved spacetimes. We make use of the Drinfel'd twist deformed differential geometry of Julius Wess and his group in order to define an action functional for a real...

Adding more fuel to the fire: an eye-tracking study of idiom processing by native and non-native speaker (2011)
Journal Article

Using eye-tracking, we investigate on-line processing of idioms in a biasing story context by native and non-native speakers of English. The stimuli are idioms used figuratively (at the end of the day – ‘eventually’), literally (at the end of the day...

Bridging the gap: pracademics in foreign policy (2011)
Journal Article

In his seminal work Bridging the Gap: Theory and Practice in Foreign Policy, Alexander George (1993) lamented the great divide between academia and the foreign policymaking community, arguing that greater interaction between scholars and policymakers...

Poo gurus? Researching the threats and opportunities presented by human waste (2011)
Journal Article

There is huge geographical variation in the extent to which excrement represents a threat to human and environmental health. In the UK, we tend to think little of such risks. By contrast, 52% of all people in Asia have no access to basic sanitation a... Read More about Poo gurus? Researching the threats and opportunities presented by human waste.

Evolution of ?-blockers: from anti-anginal drugs to ligand-directed signalling (2011)
Journal Article

Sir James Black developed ?-blockers, one of the most useful groups of drugs in use today. Not only are they being used for their original purpose to treat angina and cardiac arrhythmias, but they are also effective therapeutics for hypertension, car...

Supporting nurse health champions: developing a 'new generation' of health improvement facilitators (2011)
Journal Article

In efforts to respond to key government public health initiatives for settings-based health promotion, the ‘Workplace Health Champion’ role has emerged as a method of promoting health within the UK healthcare setting. Health promotion techniques used... Read More about Supporting nurse health champions: developing a 'new generation' of health improvement facilitators.

Setting the stage – Building and working in an ancient DNA laboratory (2011)
Journal Article

With the introduction of next generation high throughput sequencing in 2005 and the resulting revolution in genetics, ancient DNA research has rapidly developed from an interesting but marginal field within evolutionary biology into one that can cont...

Compensatory Neural Reorganization in Tourette Syndrome (2011)
Journal Article

Children with neurological disorders may follow unique developmental trajectories whereby they undergo compensatory neuroplastic changes in brain structure and function that help them gain control over their symptoms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. We used behav... Read More about Compensatory Neural Reorganization in Tourette Syndrome.

The significant effect of the choice of ionic current integration method in cardiac electro-physiological simulations (2011)
Journal Article

Finite element (FE) cardiac electro-physiology solvers commonly have ionic current determined at mesh nodes but required element interiors. We consider two interpolation approaches: (i) ionic current interpolation (ICI), where nodal ionic currents ar...

Integrating assessments of older people: Examining evidence and impact from a randomised controlled trial (2011)
Journal Article

Partial regularity and t-analytic sets for Banach function algebras (2011)
Journal Article

In this note we introduce the notion of t-analytic sets. Using this concept, we construct a class of closed prime ideals in Banach function algebras and discuss some problems related to Alling’s conjecture in H infinity. A description of all closed t...

A review of alcohol pricing and its effects on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm (2011)
Journal Article

Alcohol has a complex relationship with any given society. On one hand, it may have some benefits by providing a means of leisure and socialization and a source of revenue through taxation of its sales while on the other hand; it has harmful effects...

Aroma encapsulation and aroma delivery by oil body suspensions derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus) (2011)
Journal Article

Oil bodies are small discrete cell organelles that can be found within oilseeds. Oil bodies have been investigated previously as a potential technology platform for use within the food industry, offering stable, antioxidant-enriched lipid-delivery...

First principles predictions of thermophysical properties of refrigerant mixtures (2011)
Journal Article

We present pair potentials for fluorinated methanes and their dimers with CO2 based on ab initio potential energy surfaces. These potentials reproduce the experimental second virial coefficients of the pure fluorinated methanes and their mixtures wit...

Simulating current global river runoff with a global hydrological model: Model revisions, validation, and sensitivity analysis (2011)
Journal Article

Global hydrological models (GHMs) model the land surface hydrologic dynamics of continental-scale river basins. Here we describe one such GHM, the Macro-scale-Probability-Distributed Moisture model.09 (Mac-PDM.09). The model has undergone a number of...

Ambassador David Bruce and “LBJ's War”: Vietnam Viewed from London, 1963–1968 (2011)
Journal Article

Recent decades have seen growing historical interest in “second rank” officials who, whilst they do not play a leading role in government or political movements, can influence the way decisions are shaped and executed. At the same time, the interest... Read More about Ambassador David Bruce and “LBJ's War”: Vietnam Viewed from London, 1963–1968.
