“Be patient, dear mother … wait for me”: the neo-infirmity film, female illness and contemporary cinema (2009)
Journal Article

In social reality, illness and death occur in myriad ways, yet Hollywood films have historically preferred spectacular, violent death over realist depictions of the terminal stages of life. Yet an ever-growing number of popular films, which I term ne... Read More about “Be patient, dear mother … wait for me”: the neo-infirmity film, female illness and contemporary cinema.

Dynamically Polarizable Water Potential Based on Multipole Moments Trained by Machine Learning (2009)
Journal Article

It is widely accepted that correctly accounting for polarization within simulations involving water is critical if the structural, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties of such systems are to be accurately reproduced. We propose a novel potential for... Read More about Dynamically Polarizable Water Potential Based on Multipole Moments Trained by Machine Learning.

Speeding stroke recovery? A systematic review of amphetamine after stroke (2009)
Journal Article

Introduction: The use of drugs to enhance recovery (“rehabilitation pharmacology”) has been assessed. Amphetamine can improve outcome in experimental models of stroke, and several small clinical trials have assessed its use in stroke. Methods: Elec... Read More about Speeding stroke recovery? A systematic review of amphetamine after stroke.

Chemically Labeled Nucleotides and Oligonucleotides Encode DNA for Sensing with Nanopores (2009)
Journal Article

The labeling of nucleotides and oligonucleotides with reporter groups is an important tool in the sequence-specific sensing of DNA, as exemplified by fluorescence tags. Here we show that chemical tags can encode sequence information for electrical na... Read More about Chemically Labeled Nucleotides and Oligonucleotides Encode DNA for Sensing with Nanopores.

Laminin receptor initiates bacterial contact with the blood brain barrier in experimental meningitis models (2009)
Journal Article

A diverse array of infectious agents, including prions and certain neurotropic viruses, bind to the laminin receptor (LR), and this determines tropism to the CNS. Bacterial meningitis in childhood is almost exclusively caused by the respiratory tract...

Antioxidants attenuate hyperglycaemia-mediated brain endothelial cell dysfunction and blood–brain barrier hyperpermeability (2009)
Journal Article

Aims: Hyperglycaemia (HG), in stroke patients, is associated with worse neurological outcome by compromising endothelial cell function and the blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity. We have studied the contribution of HG-mediated generation of oxidati...

Social motives in network formation: an experiment (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Literature on network formation typically assumes that people create and remove relations as to maximize their outcome in the network. It is mostly neglected that people might also care about the outcomes of others when creating and removing links. I... Read More about Social motives in network formation: an experiment.

Journal Article

Evaluation of antioxidant activity and vitamin E profile of some selected indigenous vegetables in Nigerian diet (2009)
Journal Article

Freeze-dried leaves of some selected vegetables (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius, Talinum fruticosum and Solanum macrocarpon) were examined for antioxidant activity and analysed for vitamin E profile, using Ferric-ion Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assa...

Innervation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons by peptidergic neurons conveying circadian or energy balance information in the mouse (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) produced in neurons in the basal forebrain is the primary regulator of reproductive maturation and function in mammals. Peptidergic signals relating to circadian timing and energy balance... Read More about Innervation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons by peptidergic neurons conveying circadian or energy balance information in the mouse.

Photo-heating and the fate of hard photons during the reionisation of HeII by quasars (2009)
Journal Article

We use a combination of analytic and numerical arguments to consider the impact of quasar photo-heating during HeII reionisation on the thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM). We demonstrate that rapid (\Delta z< 0.1-0.2), strong (\Delta... Read More about Photo-heating and the fate of hard photons during the reionisation of HeII by quasars.

Fate of conjugated natural and synthetic steroid estrogens in crude sewage and activated sludge batch studies (2009)
Journal Article

Steroids are excreted from the human body in the conjugated form but are present in sewage influent and effluent as the free steroid, the major source of estrogenic activity observed in water courses. The fate of sulfate and glucuronide conjugated st... Read More about Fate of conjugated natural and synthetic steroid estrogens in crude sewage and activated sludge batch studies.

Information Fusion for Anomaly Detection with the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (2009)
Journal Article

Dendritic cells are antigen presenting cells that provide a vital link between the innate and adaptive immune system, providing the initial detection of pathogenic invaders. Research into this family of cells has revealed that they perform informati... Read More about Information Fusion for Anomaly Detection with the Dendritic Cell Algorithm.

The cytoskeletal scaffold Shank3 is recruited to pathogen-induced actin rearrangements (2009)
Journal Article

The common gastrointestinal pathogens enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and Salmonella typhimurium both reorganize the gut epithelial cell actin cytoskeleton to mediate pathogenesis, utilizing mimicry of the host signaling apparatus. The PDZ d... Read More about The cytoskeletal scaffold Shank3 is recruited to pathogen-induced actin rearrangements.

Sediment resuspension and erosion by vortex rings (2009)
Journal Article

Particle resuspension and erosion induced by a vortex ringinteracting with a sediment layer was investigated experimentally using flow visualization (particle image velocimetry), high-speed video, and a recently developed light attenuation method for...
