Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London (2011)
Journal Article

Studies of the rise of London's vestries in the period to 1640 have tended to discuss them in terms of the inexorable rise of oligarchy and state formation. This article re-examines the emergence of the vestries in several ways, moving beyond this tr... Read More about Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London.

Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology (2011)
Journal Article

We continue to introduce bi-galileon theory, the generalisation of the single galileon model introduced by Nicolis et al. The theory contains two coupled scalar fields and is described by a Lagrangian that is invariant under Galilean shifts in those... Read More about Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology.

Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models (2011)
Journal Article

We consider a coarse grained neural field model for synaptic activity in spatially extended cortical tissue that possesses an underlying periodicity in its microstructure. The model is written as an integro-differential equation with periodic modula... Read More about Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models.

A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant (2011)
Journal Article

The dry period is a critical time in the lactation cycle, offering the optimum time for cure of existing intramammary infection (IMI), while also encompassing the periods of highest susceptibility to new intramammary infection. Until recent years, in... Read More about A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant.

Identification of new functional regions in hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein E2 (2011)
Journal Article

Little is known about the structure of the envelope glycoproteins of hepatitis C virus (HCV). To identify new regions essential for the function of these glycoproteins, we generated HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) containing HCV envelope glycoproteins, E...

The transposon-like correia elements encode numerous strong promoters and provide a potential new mechanism for phase variation in the meningococcus (2011)
Journal Article

Neisseria meningitidis is the primary causative agent of bacterial meningitis. The genome is rich in repetitive DNA and almost 2% is occupied by a diminutive transposon called the Correia element. Here we report a bioinformatic analysis defining eigh...

Does place of death from cancer vary between ethnic groups in South East England? (2011)
Journal Article

There is growing evidence that the palliative care needs of certain people, such as those from minority ethnic groups, are not being met. The aim of this study was to investigate whether place of death from cancer differs between ethnic groups. A tot...

Journal Article

Incompressible Poiseuille flows of Newtonian liquids with a pressure-dependent viscosity (2011)
Journal Article

The pressure-dependence of the viscosity becomes important in flows where high pressures are encountered. Applications include many polymer processing applications, microfluidics, fluid film lubrication, as well as simulations of geophysical flows. U...

A pharmacy-based private chlamydia screening programme: Results from the first 2 years of screening and treatment (2011)
Journal Article

Objective A major UK Pharmacy chain private Chlamydia screening and treatment service began in October 2006. People pay for a screening kit, send off a urine sample, and are informed of their result directly. Treatment is accessed via the pharmacy ch...

Econometrics for grumblers: A new look at the literature on cross-country growth empirics (2011)
Journal Article

Abstract Since the seminal contribution of N. Gregory Mankiw, David Romer and David N. Weil in 1992 the growth empirics literature has used increasingly sophisticated methods to select relevant growth determinants in estimating cross-section growth r...

Advances in research on the prenatal development of skeletal muscle in animals in relation to the quality of muscle-based food. II - Genetic factors related to animal performance and advances in methodology (2011)
Journal Article

Selective breeding is an effective tool to improve livestock. Several selection experiments have been conducted to study direct selection responses as well as correlated responses in traits of skeletal muscle growth and function. Moreover, comparison...

Effects of Ethanol, Carbonation and Hop Acids on Volatile Delivery in a Model Beer System (2011)
Journal Article

A model beer was created to investigate the effects of ethanol, carbonation and hop acids on volatile release (ethyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol and phenethyl alcohol) using both headspace analysis and in?nose measurement during consumption. None of the... Read More about Effects of Ethanol, Carbonation and Hop Acids on Volatile Delivery in a Model Beer System.

Fast automatic translation and morphological decomposition in Chinese- English bilinguals (2011)
Journal Article

In this study, we investigated automatic translation from English to Chinese and subsequent morphological decomposition of translated Chinese compounds. In two lexical decision tasks, Chinese-English bilinguals responded to English target words that...

Rationality and the unit of action (2011)
Journal Article

This paper examines the idea of an extended unit of action, which is the idea that the reasons for or against an individual action can depend on the qualities of a larger pattern of action of which it is a part. One concept of joint action is that... Read More about Rationality and the unit of action.

Quantifying simulator discrepancy in discrete-time dynamical simulators (2011)
Journal Article

When making predictions with complex simulators it can be important to quantify the various sources of uncertainty. Errors in the structural specification of the simulator, for example due to missing processes or incorrect mathematical specification...
