Implications of regional surface ozone increases on visibility degradation in southeast China (2012)
Journal Article

Long-term visibility (1968–2010) and air pollutant (1984–2010) data records in Hong Kong reveal that the occurrence of reduced visibility (RV, defined as the percentage of hours per month with visibility below 8 km in the absence of rain, fog, mist o...

Sexual cognition guides viewing strategies to human figures (2012)
Journal Article

Gaze patterns to figure images have been proposed to reflect the observer's sexual interest, particularly for men. This eye-tracking study investigated how individual differences in sexual motivation tendencies are manifested in naturalistic gaze pat...

Prospects for detecting the 21 cm forest from the diffuse intergalactic medium with LOFAR (2012)
Journal Article

We discuss the feasibility of the detection of the 21 cm forest in the diffuse intergalactic medium (IGM) with the radio telescope LOFAR. The optical depth to the 21 cm line has been derived using simulations of reionization which include detailed ra...

Calpain system protein expression in carcinomas of the pancreas, bile duct and ampulla (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Pancreatic cancer, including cancer of the ampulla of Vater and bile duct, is very aggressive and has a poor five year survival rate; improved methods of patient stratification are required. Methods: We assessed the expression of calpai... Read More about Calpain system protein expression in carcinomas of the pancreas, bile duct and ampulla.

Modulation of pluripotency in the porcine embryo and iPS Cells (2012)
Journal Article

The establishment of the pluripotent ICM during early mammalian development is characterized by the differential expression of the transcription factors NANOG and GATA4/6, indicative of the epiblast and hypoblast, respectively. Differences in the mec... Read More about Modulation of pluripotency in the porcine embryo and iPS Cells.

Nanomaterial-based electrochemical biosensors for cytochrome c using cytochrome c reductase (2012)
Journal Article

Emerging evidences have pointed out that the release of cytochrome c (cyt c) from mitochondria into cytosol is a critical step in the activation of apoptosis. This article presents a novel approach for the detection of mitochondrial cyt c release for...

Fiber orientation-dependent white matter contrast in gradient echo MRI (2012)
Journal Article

Recent studies have shown that there is a direct link between the orientation of the nerve fibers in white matter (WM) and the contrast observed in magnitude and phase images acquired using gradient echo MRI. Understanding the origin of this link is... Read More about Fiber orientation-dependent white matter contrast in gradient echo MRI.

An art novel for the age of mechanical reproduction: Blaise Cendrars's Dan Yack (2012)
Journal Article

This article considers Blaise Cendrars's novel Dan Yack (1929) as a variation on the art novel genre, arguing that it rewrites and adapts well-worn art narratives — most notably various iterations of the Pygmalion myth — in order to question the natu...

Incorporation of paramagnetic, fluorescent and PET/SPECT contrast agents into liposomes for multimodal imaging (2012)
Journal Article

A series of metal-chelating lipid conjugates has been designed and synthesized. Each member of the series bears a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) macrocycle attached to the lipid head group, using short n-ethylene glyc...

Application of cardiac electrophysiology simulations to pro-arrhythmic safety testing (2012)
Journal Article

Concerns over cardiac side effects are the largest single cause of compound attrition during pharmaceutical drug development. For a number of years, biophysically detailed mathematical models of cardiac electrical activity have been used to explore h...

Financial business education: The remaking of gendered investment banking subjects in the (post-crisis) City of London (2012)
Journal Article

In this paper, we reveal the neglected role of business education in legitimizing and performing gendered discourses in financial services work in London's financial district. In particular, by combining research on gendered subjectivities in elite l...

R&D cooperation with entry (2012)
Journal Article

We show the effects of entry by a non?innovating firm on the innovating firms' incentive for undertaking cooperative R&D, highlighting the implications of knowledge spillover. Entry by a non?innovating firm may either increase or decrease the incenti... Read More about R&D cooperation with entry.

Discrete element modelling of a flexible membrane for triaxial testing of granular material at high pressures (2012)
Journal Article

The discrete element method (DEM) has been used to simulate triaxial tests on a bonded material at high pressures. A key feature of the model is the use of a flexible membrane that allows the correct volumetric deformation and the true failure mode...

Cafestol extraction yield from different coffee brew mechanisms (2012)
Journal Article

The extraction yield of cafestol from roast and ground (R&G) coffee beans was evaluated using brews prepared by four brewing mechanisms (boiled, Turkish, French Press and Mocha Pot). The cafestol content of the R&G coffee and the resulting brews was... Read More about Cafestol extraction yield from different coffee brew mechanisms.

“Medioglycaemia”: a new concept in glycaemic control in intensive care (ICU) units? (2012)
Journal Article

Introduction: Critically ill patients can experience stress-induced hyperglycaemia. Glycaemic control therapy (GCT) is administered to control patients’ blood glycaemic levels and reduce the incidence of infection, myocardial infarctions and organ fa...

Dopamine D1 receptor involvement in latent inhibition and overshadowing (2012)
Journal Article

Latent inhibition (LI) manifests as poorer conditioning to a stimulus that has previously been experienced without consequence. There is good evidence of dopaminergic modulation of LI, as the e?ect is reliably disrupted by the indirect dopamine (DA...

Modulation of DNA damage tolerance in Escherichia coli recG and ruv strains by mutations affecting PriB, the ribosome and RNA polymerase (2012)
Journal Article

RecG is a DNA translocase that helps to maintain genomic integrity. Initial studies suggested a role in promoting recombination, a possibility consistent with synergism between recG and ruv null alleles and reinforced when the protein was shown to un...

Stimulation, segregation and scandal: geographies of prostitution regulation in British India, between Registration (1888) and Suppression (1923) (2012)
Journal Article

This paper explores the regulation of prostitution in colonial India between the abolition of the Indian Contagious Diseases Act in 1888 and the passing of the first Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act in 1923. It challenges the commonly held assumpti...
