Towards a predictive model of Ca²⁺ puffs (2009)
Journal Article

We investigate key characteristics of Ca²⁺ puffs in deterministic and stochastic frameworks that all incorporate the cellular morphology of IP[subscript]3 receptor channel clusters. In a first step, we numerically study Ca²⁺ liberation in a three dim... Read More about Towards a predictive model of Ca²⁺ puffs.

Sensitisation waves in a bidomain fire-diffuse-fire model of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics (2009)
Journal Article

We present a bidomain threshold model of intracellular calcium (Ca²⁺) dynamics in which, as suggested by recent experiments, the cytosolic threshold for Ca²⁺ liberation is modulated by the Ca²⁺ concentration in the releasing compartment. We explicitl... Read More about Sensitisation waves in a bidomain fire-diffuse-fire model of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics.

A systematic review of delays in seeking medical attention after transient ischaemic attack (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Prompt assessment and investigation of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) followed by early initiation of secondary prevention is effective in reducing recurrent stroke. Nevertheless, many patients are slow to seek medical advice after... Read More about A systematic review of delays in seeking medical attention after transient ischaemic attack.

Climate change – psychology’s contribution (2009)
Journal Article

Climate change is a word on everybody’s lips at the moment. But, what role can we, as psychologists, both individually and within our sub-disciplinary groups play in reducing and adapting to the impacts of society’s ‘carbon footprint’? This article...

Psychology, climate change & sustainable behaviour (2009)
Journal Article

Cancer profiles by Affinity Propagation (2009)
Journal Article

The Affinity Propagation algorithm is applied to various problems of breast and cutaneous tumours subtyping using traditional biologic markers. The algorithm provides a procedure to determine the number of profiles to be considered. Well know breast... Read More about Cancer profiles by Affinity Propagation.

Modelling and simulating retail management practices: a first approach (2009)
Journal Article

Multi-agent systems offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. We apply agent-based modeling and simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relationship betwe... Read More about Modelling and simulating retail management practices: a first approach.

The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement (2009)
Journal Article

The present study evaluated the neural changes due to effector use (unimanual left, unimanual right, bimanual) and visuomotor conflict induced by mirror-reversed vision during drawing behaviour. EEG phase synchronization, expressing interregional com... Read More about The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement.

Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement (2009)
Journal Article

Interactions between brain regions are necessary for compound activities to take place. Accordingly, evaluating hemispheric information processing during skilled behaviour provides valuable knowledge about brain regulation. To this end, the present s...

Bimanual information processing and the impact of conflict during mirror drawing (2009)
Journal Article

Successful motor behavior depends on optimal information processing and planning. In the present study, the neural response of the motor system to conflict of visuomotor discrepancy (mirror-reversed vision) and complexity (task difficulty and hand la...

A reliability analysis method using binary decision diagrams in phased mission planning (2009)
Journal Article

The use of autonomous systems is becoming increasingly common in many fields. A significant example of this is the ambition to deploy UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for both civil and military applications. In order for autonomous systems such as th...

Commitment in symmetric contests (2009)
Journal Article

The paper proves that in two-player logit form symmetric contests with concave success function, commitment to a particular strategy does not increase a player's payoff, while in contests with more than two players it does. The paper also provides a... Read More about Commitment in symmetric contests.

Rotational symmetries of crystals with defects (2009)
Journal Article

I use the theory of Lie groups/algebras to discuss the symmetries of crystals with uniform distributions of defects.

Methodological insights into the study of centuriated field systems: a landscape archaeology perspective (2009)
Journal Article

The morphological identification of centuriated field systems has been characterised from its beginnings by methodological approaches mainly sustained on actus-based modular relationships and orientations. Many researchers dedicated to the identifica... Read More about Methodological insights into the study of centuriated field systems: a landscape archaeology perspective.

Perdurance, location and classical mereology (2009)

Security detention - United Kingdom practice (2009)
Journal Article

This article assesses the role of security detention within the context of a number of the United Kingdom’s anti-terrorism policies. It considers the U.K. provisions on indefinite detention and the judicial response to those policies. Close attention... Read More about Security detention - United Kingdom practice.
