‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society (2013)
Journal Article

In the course of his exhaustive study regarding the development of the term kalos kagathos, Félix Bourriot has proposed a specifically Spartan usage of the term, with a narrow military meaning. Here, I critically examine his arguments for this Sparta... Read More about ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society.

Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise (2013)
Journal Article

Two appetitive conditioning experiments with rats investigated the mechanisms and properties of unblocking that results from the surprising omission of an expected post-trial unconditioned stimulus (US). Experiment 1 demonstrated unblocking under cir... Read More about Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise.

Journal Article

The effect of stimulus distribution form on the acquisition and rate of conditioned responding: Implications for theory (2013)
Journal Article

In four experiments rats were conditioned to an auditory conditioned stimulus (conditioned stimulus; CS) that was paired with food, and learning about the CS was compared across two conditions in which the mean duration of the CS was equated. In one,... Read More about The effect of stimulus distribution form on the acquisition and rate of conditioned responding: Implications for theory.

A comparison of resistive and capacitive touchscreens for use within vehicles (2013)
Journal Article

Vehicles are increasingly utilising technologies developed in non-automotive domains. In this respect, capacitive touchscreens are familiar to smartphone and tablet computer users enabling a wide range of single and multi-touch gestures, but have not... Read More about A comparison of resistive and capacitive touchscreens for use within vehicles.

Optimal short-time acquisition schemes in high angular resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (2013)
Journal Article

This work investigates the possibilities of applying high-angular-resolution-diffusion-imaging- (HARDI-) based methods in a clinical setting by investigating the performance of non-Gaussian diffusion probability density function (PDF) estimation for... Read More about Optimal short-time acquisition schemes in high angular resolution diffusion-weighted imaging.

Origin of parietal podocytes in atubular glomeruli mapped by lineage tracing (2013)
Journal Article

Parietal podocytes are fully differentiated podocytes lining Bowman's capsule where normally only parietal epithelial cells (PECs) are found. Parietal podocytes formthroughout life and are regularly observed in human biopsies, particularly in atubula...

Journal Article

A validation of the application of D2O stable isotope tracer techniques for monitoring day-to-day changes in muscle protein subfraction synthesis in humans (2013)
Journal Article

Quantification of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) remains a cornerstone for understanding the control of muscle mass. Traditional [13C]amino acid tracer methodologies necessitate sustained bed rest and intravenous cannulation(s), restricting studies t...

Yhwh's battle against chaos in Ezekiel: the transformation of Judahite mythology for a new situation (2013)
Journal Article

In addressing the theological crisis of the exile, Ezekiel relies on the mythology of the divine king who goes out to battle against the forces of chaos, commonly referred to as the Chaoskampf. This article explores how Ezekiel employs this imagery t... Read More about Yhwh's battle against chaos in Ezekiel: the transformation of Judahite mythology for a new situation.

Embodiment in skateboarding videogames (2013)
Journal Article

This article analyses the avatar in action games as both object of perception and instrument of action and perception. This allows for a picture to emerge of the way in which avatars in 3D action games serve as a kind of commentary on what it is to h... Read More about Embodiment in skateboarding videogames.

Probing the metallicity and ionization state of the circumgalactic medium at z~6 and beyond with OI absorption (2013)
Journal Article

Low-ionization metal absorption due to O I has been identified as an important probe of the physical state of the intergalactic/circumgalactic medium at the tail end of reionization. We use here high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations to interpret t... Read More about Probing the metallicity and ionization state of the circumgalactic medium at z~6 and beyond with OI absorption.

Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid (2013)
Journal Article

A large body of evidence from human and animal studies demonstrates that the maternal diet during pregnancy can programme physiological and metabolic functions in the developing fetus, effectively determining susceptibility to later disease. The mech... Read More about Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid.

Protocol for the New Medicine Service Study: a randomized controlled trial and economic evaluation with qualitative appraisal comparing the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the New Medicine Service in community pharmacies in England (2013)
Journal Article

Background Medication non-adherence is considered an important cause of morbidity and mortality in primary care. This study aims to determine the effectiveness, cost effectiveness and acceptability of a complex intervention delivered by community...

Off-line breath acetone analysis in critical illness (2013)
Journal Article

Analysis of breath acetone could be useful in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting to monitor evidence of starvation and metabolic stress. The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between acetone concentrations in breath and blood in... Read More about Off-line breath acetone analysis in critical illness.
