Diverse signalling mechanisms used by relaxin in natural cells and tissues: The evolution of a "neohormone" (2007)
Book Chapter

The small peptide hormone relaxin is a member of a rapidly evolving family of hormones and growth factors, whose mode of action appears to be particularly adapted to purely mammalian physiology. It is representative of a new category of hormones, ref... Read More about Diverse signalling mechanisms used by relaxin in natural cells and tissues: The evolution of a "neohormone".

Idiotypic Immune Networks in Mobile-Robot Control (2007)
Journal Article

Jerne's idiotypic network theory postulates that the immune response involves inter-antibody stimulation and suppression as well as matching to antigens. The theory has proved the most popular Artificial Immune System (AIS) model for incorporation in... Read More about Idiotypic Immune Networks in Mobile-Robot Control.

An estimation of distribution algorithm with intelligent local search for rule-based nurse rostering (2007)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a new memetic evolutionary algorithm to achieve explicit learning in rule-based nurse rostering, which involves applying a set of heuristic rules for each nurse's assignment. The main framework of the algorithm is an estimation of... Read More about An estimation of distribution algorithm with intelligent local search for rule-based nurse rostering.

Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space (2007)
Journal Article

There is a perception that teaching space in universities is a rather scarce resource. However, some studies have revealed that in many institutions it is actually chronically under-used. Often, rooms are occupied only half the time, and even when in... Read More about Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space.

Comprehensive comparison of the interaction of the E2 master regulator with its cognate target DNA sites in 73 human papillomavirus types by sequence statistics (2007)
Journal Article

Mucosal human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are etiological agents of oral, anal and genital cancer. Properties of high- and low-risk HPV types cannot be reduced to discrete molecular traits. The E2 protein regulates viral replication and transcription thr...

The fermion spectrum in braneworld collisions (2007)
Journal Article

In braneworld collisions fermions originally localised on one brane can be transferred to another brane, or to a space-time boundary. By modelling branes as scalar field kinks we bounce them off boundaries and study resulting effects according to a b... Read More about The fermion spectrum in braneworld collisions.

Early life stress causes FG-7142-induced corticolimbic dysfunction in adulthood (2007)
Journal Article

Maternal separation (MS) during the neonatal period enhances stress responsivity in adulthood. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the basolateral amygdala (BLA) are involved in coordinating various stress responses. Evidence indicates that MS re...

An immunoglobulin E-reactive chimeric human immunoglobulin G1 anti-idiotype inhibits basophil degranulation through cross-linking of FcεRI with FcγRIIb (2007)
Journal Article

Background: IgE binds to mast cells and basophils via its high-affinity receptor, FcεRI, and cross-linking of FcεRI-bound IgE molecules by allergen leads to the release of allergic mediators characteristic of type I hypersensitivity reactions. Previo... Read More about An immunoglobulin E-reactive chimeric human immunoglobulin G1 anti-idiotype inhibits basophil degranulation through cross-linking of FcεRI with FcγRIIb.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies protect against hepatitis C virus quasispecies challenge (2007)
Journal Article

A major problem in hepatitis C virus (HCV) immunotherapy or vaccine design is the extreme variability of the virus. We identified human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize genetically diverse HCV isolates and protect against heterologous HCV...

Trust, privacy and relationships in 'pervasive education': Families' views on homework and technologies (2007)
Book Chapter

Extensive educational research discusses the potential for information and communication technologies in supporting homework, but most has focused on providing content. The research in this paper focuses instead on the issues around managing homework...

Obtaining better non-dominated sets using volume dominance (2007)
Conference Proceeding

An important goal in multiobjective optimisation is to And a good set of non-dominated solutions that is both well-distributed and well-converged. Most multiobjective optimisation algorithms use the conventional Pareto dominance relationship. Over re... Read More about Obtaining better non-dominated sets using volume dominance.

Nuclear weapons and intergenerational exploitation (2007)
Journal Article

Nuclear weapons’ defenders claim that they lower the risk of war, at the price of devastation if war breaks out. But sooner or later, on a realist analysis, catastrophic nuclear war is almost sure to come. Nuclear deterrence thus buys us a better cha...

Immune system approaches to intrusion detection - a review (2007)
Journal Article

The use of artificial immune systems in intrusion detection is an appealing concept for two reasons. Firstly, the human immune system provides the human body with a high level of protection from invading pathogens, in a robust, self-organised and dis...

Anisotropic Assembly of Colloidal Nanoparticles: Exploiting Substrate Crystallinity (2007)
Journal Article

We show that the crystal structure of a substrate can be exploited to drive the anisotropic assembly of colloidal nanoparticles. Pentanethiol-passivated Au particles of approximately 2 nm diameter deposited from toluene onto hydrogen-passivated Si(11...

Ontogeny and nutritional programming of mitochondrial proteins in the ovine kidney, liver and lung (2007)
Journal Article

This study investigated the developmental and nutritional programming of two important mitochondrial proteins, namely voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC) and cytochrome c in the sheep kidney, liver and lung. The effect of maternal nutrient restric... Read More about Ontogeny and nutritional programming of mitochondrial proteins in the ovine kidney, liver and lung.

Elevated CD16 expression by monocytes from patients with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (2007)
Journal Article

Objective. Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an inherited autosomal-dominant autoinflammatory condition caused by mutations in the ectodomain of the 55-kd tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily 1A. Proin... Read More about Elevated CD16 expression by monocytes from patients with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome.
