Impaired autophagy of an intracellular pathogen induced by a Crohn's disease associated ATG16L1 variant (2008)
Journal Article

The genetic risk factors predisposing individuals to the development of inflammatory bowel disease are beginning to be deciphered by genome-wide association studies. Surprisingly, these new data point towards a critical role of autophagy in the patho...

A macroporous polymer-supported cyclic anhydride for efficient sequestration of amines (2008)
Journal Article

The efficient removal of primary and secondary amines from organic solutions using a macroporous polymer-supported anhydride is described. The sequestering of primary amines by the anhydride via polymer-bound amide formation is completed within 2-4 h...

Revealed comparative advantage of Malaysian exports: the case for changing export composition (2008)
Journal Article

Since 2000, Malaysian-manufactured exports performance has been declining. The downturn of the global electronic industry and the rise of China’s economy are the two major causes of this decline. To improve export performance, Malaysia participates i... Read More about Revealed comparative advantage of Malaysian exports: the case for changing export composition.

The habitus of hygiene: discourses of cleanliness and infection control in nursing work (2008)
Journal Article

This paper reports upon a qualitative interview study of 22 matrons, infection control staff and operating theatre staff who were questioned about their working lives and the role they played in the control of healthcare acquired infections such as M...

The control of chlorophyll catabolism and the status of yellowing as a biomarker of leaf senescence (2008)
Journal Article

The pathway of chlorophyll catabolism during leaf senescence is known in a fair amount of biochemical and cell biological detail. In the last few years, genes encoding a number of the catabolic enzymes have been characterized, including the key ring‐...

Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ) revisited. Suggestions for the development of an enhanced general food motivation model (2008)
Journal Article

Recognising the need for a more statistically robust instrument to investigate general food selection determinants, the research validates and confirms Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ's) factorial design, develops ad hoc a more robust FCQ version and...

Neuronal networks with gap junctions: A study of piece-wise linear planar neuron models (2008)
Journal Article

The presence of gap junction coupling among neurons of the central nervous systems has been appreciated for some time now. In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest from the mathematical community in understanding the contribution of the...

Evolutionary multi-objective simulated annealing with adaptive and competitive search direction (2008)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we propose a population-based implementation of simulated annealing to tackle multi-objective optimisation problems, in particular those of combinatorial nature. The proposed algorithm is called Evolutionary Multiobjective Simulated An... Read More about Evolutionary multi-objective simulated annealing with adaptive and competitive search direction.

Relaxin signalling in primary cultures of human myometrial cells (2008)
Journal Article

In myometrium of pigs and rats, though not humans, relaxin appears to mediate an inhibition of spontaneous and oxytocin-induced contractility, presumably acting through a G-protein coupled receptor (RXFP1) to generate cAMP. In humans, circulating rel... Read More about Relaxin signalling in primary cultures of human myometrial cells.

Telmisartan to Prevent Recurrent Stroke and Cardiovascular Events (2008)
Journal Article

Background Prolonged lowering of blood pressure after a stroke reduces the risk of recurrent stroke. In addition, inhibition of the renin–angiotensin system in high-risk patients reduces the rate of subsequent cardiovascular events, including str...

Journal Article

Some stationary properties of a Q-ball in arbitrary space dimensions (2008)
Journal Article

Introducing new physically motivated ansaetze, we explore both analytically and numerically the classical and absolute stabilities of a single Q-ball in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions D, working in both the thin and thick wall limits.

Practising what we preach: worksite wellness intervention for healthcare staff (2008)
Book

With the rising prevalence of preventable disease, caused by our modern lifestyles, population approaches to health promotion are becoming an essential part of healthcare. Nursing is the largest occupational group within the National Health Service a... Read More about Practising what we preach: worksite wellness intervention for healthcare staff.

Transmission of an inhomogeneous state via resonant tunnelling (2008)
Journal Article

We recently investigated the nature of resonant tunnelling in standard scalar Quantum Field Theory, uncovering the conditions required for resonance. It was shown that whereas the homogeneous false vacuum may decay via bubble nucleation, it may not d... Read More about Transmission of an inhomogeneous state via resonant tunnelling.

A frequency domain approach to roto-translation estimation using gradient cross-correlation (2008)
Conference Proceeding

A novel frequency domain approach to roto-translation estimation is presented. The baseline gradient cross-correlation method is extended to handle rotations. A key feature of the proposed scheme is the ability to achieve good performance in the pres...

The Construction of Masculinities and Femininities in the Church of England: The Case of the Male Clergy Spouse (2008)
Journal Article

The ordination of women to the priesthood in the Church of England in 1994 signified great change. The impact of the new priests was well documented, and their integration became the focus of much research in the following years. One important area o...

Tracking sub-page components in document workflows (2008)
Conference Proceeding

Documents go through numerous transformations and intermediate formats as they are processed from abstract markup into final printable form. This notion of a document workflow is well established but it is common to find that ideas about document com... Read More about Tracking sub-page components in document workflows.
