This essay presents the subjective experience of life and sickness for the punished in late Imperial Siberia, and the distinctions the punished made between legitimate and illegitimate forms of punishment. The essay also explores state policies towar... Read More about From villains to victims: experiencing illness in Siberian exile.

The role of nicotine replacement therapy for temporary abstinence in the home to protect children from environmental tobacco smoke exposure: a qualitative study with disadvantaged smokers (2013)
Journal Article

Background Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) has recently been licensed to help smokers to abstain from smoking for short time periods and recent studies have shown that 8-14% of smokers are regularly using NRT to cope when they cannot or are not a...

Medication errors in the Middle East countries: a systematic review of the literature (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Medication errors are a significant global concern and can cause serious medical consequences for patients. Little is known about medication errors in Middle Eastern countries. The objectives of this systematic review were to review st... Read More about Medication errors in the Middle East countries: a systematic review of the literature.

Domain transformation approach to deterministic optimization of examination timetables (2013)
Journal Article

In this paper we introduce a new optimization method for the examinations scheduling problem. Rather than attempting direct optimization of assignments of exams to specific time-slots, we perform permutations of slots and reassignments of exams upon...

Journal Article

Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis (2013)
Journal Article

The task of designing secure software systems is fraught with uncertainty, as data on uncommon attacks is limited, costs are difficult to estimate, and technology and tools are continually changing. Consequently, experts may interpret the security ri... Read More about Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis.

Construction of a doxycycline inducible adipogenic lentiviral expression system (2013)
Journal Article

To provide a tool for research on regulating adipocyte differentiation, tetracycline inducible (Tet on) lentiviral expression vectors under the control of an adipose-specific promoter were constructed. The lowest basal expression in the absence of do... Read More about Construction of a doxycycline inducible adipogenic lentiviral expression system.

Limitations of perturbative techniques in the analysis of rhythms and oscillations (2013)
Journal Article

Perturbation theory is an important tool in the analysis of oscillators and their response to external stimuli. It is predicated on the assumption that the perturbations in question are “sufficiently weak”, an assumption that is not always valid when...

High throughput discovery of thermo-responsive materials using water contact angle measurements and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (2013)
Journal Article

Switchable materials that alter their chemical or physical properties in response to external stimuli allow for temporal control of material-biological interactions, thus, are of interest for many biomaterial applications. Our interest is the discove... Read More about High throughput discovery of thermo-responsive materials using water contact angle measurements and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry.

DNA damage induces nucleoid compaction via the Mre11-Rad50 complex in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii (2013)
Journal Article

In prokaryotes the genome is organized in a dynamic structure called the nucleoid, which is embedded in the cytoplasm. We show here that in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii, compaction and reorganization of the nucleoid is induced by stresses that...

Development of a smoke visualisation system for wind tunnel laboratory experiments (2013)
Journal Article

The design, build and test of a smoke visualisation system for a vertical wind tunnel at Brunel University are described. The smoke visualisation system utilised a fog machine for smoke generation and required the design and manufacture of a smoke ra...

Phrases in literary contexts: patterns and distributions of suspensions in Dickens’s novels (2013)
Journal Article

This paper addresses relations between lexico-grammatical patterns and texts. Our focus is on a specific linguistic unit, the ‘suspended quotation’ (or ‘suspension’), which has received particular attention in Dickens studies. The suspended quotation...
