The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc (2006)
Journal Article

Results are presented from a modelling investigation into the response of a rotating, linearly stratified fluid to local forcing induced by a differentially rotating smooth, horizontal disc. Attention was directed at cases in which the disc forcing i... Read More about The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc.

Spatio-temporal filtering properties of a dendritic cable with active spines: A modeling study in the spike-diffuse-spike framework (2006)
Journal Article

The spike-diffuse-spike (SDS) model describes a passive dendritic tree with active dendritic spines. Spine-head dynamics is modeled with a simple integrate-and-fire process, whilst communication between spines is mediated by the cable equation. In th...

Effect of eyespot caused by Oculimacula yallundae and O. acuformis, assessed visually and by competitive PCR, on stem strength associated with lodging resistance and yield of winter wheat (2006)
Journal Article

Winter wheat, (cv. Consort) was inoculated with three isolates of either Oculimacula yallundae or O. acuformis to determine the effect of eyespot caused by each species on yield and lodging resistance of winter wheat. Plants were visually assessed fo...

This paper discusses the implications of the Wellcome Trust agreement with Blackwell, OUP and Springer in which authors of accepted papers are able to pay an open-access publication charge to make their article freely available online. In bringing to... Read More about A Wel(l)come development: research funders and open access.

Compact fusion (2006)
Conference Proceeding

There are many advantages to writing functional programs in a compositional style, such as clarity and modularity. However, the intermediate data structures produced may mean that the resulting program is inefficient in terms of space. These may be r... Read More about Compact fusion.

Iterated integrals and higher order automorphic forms (2006)
Journal Article

Higher order automorphic forms have recently been introduced to study important questions in number theory and mathematical physics. We investigate the connection between these functions and Chen's iterated integrals. Then using Chen's theory, we pro... Read More about Iterated integrals and higher order automorphic forms.

Frequency of elemental events of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics (2006)
Journal Article

The dynamics of intracellular Ca²⁺ is driven by random events called Ca²⁺ puffs, in which Ca²⁺ is liberated from intracellular stores. We show that the emergence of Ca²⁺ puffs can be mapped to an escape process. The mean first passage times that corresp...

Scaling solutions and geodesics in moduli space (2006)
Journal Article

In this paper we consider cosmological scaling solutions in general relativity coupled to scalar fields with a non-trivial moduli space metric. We discover that the scaling property of the cosmology is synonymous with the scalar fields tracing out a... Read More about Scaling solutions and geodesics in moduli space.

Sexual and reproductive health in pregnant teenagers presenting for antenatal care or for termination (2006)
Journal Article

Sexual health is an important public health issue with attention being paid to the development of national policy strategies for teenage pregnancy and reproductive health. A substantial proportion of pregnant adolescents engage in unprotected interco...

Regulating the Digital Television Infrastructure in the EU. Room for Citizenship Interests? (2006)
Journal Article

This article argues that the regulation of the DTV infrastructure cannot be limited to economic concerns and that it must also address citizenship values. The analysis focuses on the regulatory framework for electronic communications (eCommunications... Read More about Regulating the Digital Television Infrastructure in the EU. Room for Citizenship Interests?.

Neuromedin U partially mediates leptin-induced hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) stimulation and has a physiological role in the regulation of the HPA axis in the rat (2006)
Journal Article

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of the hypothalamic neuropeptide neuromedin U (NMU) or the adipostat hormone leptin increases plasma ACTH and corticosterone. The relationship between leptin and NMU in the regulation of the hypothalamo-pi...

The code document's structure and analysis (2006)
Journal Article

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly it presents a preliminary and ethnomethodologically-informed analysis of the way in which the growing structure of a particular program's code was ongoingly derived from its earliest stages. This was moti... Read More about The code document's structure and analysis.

Streamlining the formation of virtual enterprises in the aerospace industry (2006)
Conference Proceeding

The virtual enterprise is an ideal solution to the pace of change in modern markets, where increasingly well-informed customers demand high performance, customised products, with continuing downward pressure on prices and lead times. In meeting custo... Read More about Streamlining the formation of virtual enterprises in the aerospace industry.

Use of the deficit model in a shared culture of argumentation: the case of foot and mouth science (2006)
Journal Article

The "deficit model" as an explanation of the public understanding of science has attracted sustained criticism. While acknowledging the limitations of the deficit model, we argue that researchers should not abandon all interest in exploring it. Our r...

Comparative investigation of the pathogenicity of three Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutants defective in the synthesis of p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (2006)
Journal Article

p-Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (p-HBADs) are glycoconjugates secreted by all Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates whose contribution to pathogenicity remains to be determined. The pathogenicity of three transposon mutants of M. tuberculosis deficie...

The structure of uniform discrete defective crystals (2006)
Journal Article

In the continuum context, a uniform crystal has dislocation density tensor constant in space. A simple iteration procedure generates an infinite set of points which is associated with uniform defective crystals. When certain necessary conditions are...

Quantification of pore clogging characteristics in potential permeable reactive barrier (PRB) substrates using image analysis (2006)
Journal Article

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are now an established approach for groundwater remediation. However, one concern is the deterioration of barrier material performance due to pore clogging. This study sought to quantify the effect of pore clogging...
