Low-intensity microwave irradiation does not substantially alter gene expression in late larval and adult Caenorhabditis elegans. (2009)
Journal Article

Reports that low-intensity microwave radiation induces heat-shock reporter gene expression in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, have recently been reinterpreted as a subtle thermal effect caused by slight heating. This study used a microwave exp... Read More about Low-intensity microwave irradiation does not substantially alter gene expression in late larval and adult Caenorhabditis elegans..

Voltage and current spectra for matrix power converters (2009)
Journal Article

Matrix power converters are used for transforming one alternating-current power supply to another, with different peak voltage and frequency. There are three input lines, with sinusoidally varying voltages which are 120? out of phase one from another... Read More about Voltage and current spectra for matrix power converters.

Nonlinear development of matrix-converter instabilities (2009)
Journal Article

Matrix converters convert a three-phase alternating-current power supply to a power supply of a different peak voltage and frequency, and are an emerging technology in a wide variety of applications. However, they are susceptible to an instability,... Read More about Nonlinear development of matrix-converter instabilities.

Large Rayleigh number thermal convection: heat flux predictions and strongly nonlinear solutions (2009)
Journal Article

We investigate the structure of strongly nonlinear Rayleigh–Bénard convection cells in the asymptotic limit of large Rayleigh number and fixed, moderate Prandtl number. Unlike the flows analyzed in prior theoretical studies of infinite Prandtl number... Read More about Large Rayleigh number thermal convection: heat flux predictions and strongly nonlinear solutions.

2-(4-Amino-3-methylphenyl)-5-fluorobenzothiazole is a ligand and shows species-specific partial agonism of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (2009)
Journal Article

2-(4-Amino-3-methylphenyl)-5-fluorobenzothiazole (5F 203) and related compounds are a series of anti-cancer candidate pharmaceuticals (Table 1.), that have been shown to activate the AhR. We show that these compounds are high affinity ligands for t...

Systematic reviews as a tool for planning and interpreting trials (2009)
Journal Article

Background Systematic reviews followed by ameta-analysis are carried out in medical research to combine the results of two or more related studies. Stroke trials have struggled to show beneficial effects and meta-analysis should be used more widely... Read More about Systematic reviews as a tool for planning and interpreting trials.

Threshold behaviour and final outcome of an epidemic on a random network with household structure (2009)
Journal Article

This paper considers a stochastic SIR (susceptible-infective-removed) epidemic model in which individuals may make infectious contacts in two ways, both within 'households' (which for ease of exposition are assumed to have equal size) and along the e...

Self-cleaning as a defence to exclusions for misconduct: an emerging concept in EC public procurement law? (2009)
Journal Article

The EU procurement directives provide for both discretionary and mandatory exclusions from EU public contracts of suppliers convicted of criminal offences or involved in gross misconduct. This article seeks to demonstrate that, although it is not sta... Read More about Self-cleaning as a defence to exclusions for misconduct: an emerging concept in EC public procurement law?.

An hr-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method for advection-diffusion problems (2009)
Journal Article

We propose an adaptive mesh refinement strategy based on exploiting a combination of a pre-processing mesh re-distribution algorithm employing a harmonic mapping technique, and standard (isotropic) mesh subdivision for discontinuous Galerkin approxim...

A class of domain decomposition preconditioners for hp-discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (2009)
Journal Article

In this article we address the question of efficiently solving the algebraic linear system of equations arising from the discretization of a symmetric, elliptic boundary value problem using hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods. In... Read More about A class of domain decomposition preconditioners for hp-discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods.

Investigating output accuracy for a discrete event simulation model and an agent based simulation model (2009)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we investigate output accuracy for a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model and Agent Based Simulation (ABS) model. The purpose of this investigation is to find out which of these simulation techniques is the best one for modelling hum...

Comparing simulation output accuracy of discrete event and agent based models: a quantitative approach (2009)
Journal Article

In our research we investigate the output accuracy of discrete event simulation models and agent based simulation models when studying human centric complex systems. In this paper we focus on human reactive behaviour as it is possible in both mod...

A unifying approach to moment-based shape orientation and symmetry classification (2009)
Journal Article

In this paper, the problem of moment-based shape orientation and symmetry classification is jointly considered. A generalization and modification of current state-of-the-art geometric moment-based functions is introduced. The properties of these func...

The relationship between baseline blood pressure and computed tomography findings in acute stroke: data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST) (2009)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose—High blood pressure (BP) is present in 80% of patients with acute ischemic stroke and is independently associated with poor outcome. There are few data examining the relationship between admission BP and acute CT findings. M...

Islamic universalism: Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya's Salaf? deliberations on the duration of Hell-Fire (2009)
Journal Article

Classical Sunni eschatology maintains that all those who believe that God is one will enter the Garden of Paradise in due time. Some monotheists may first have to endure punishment and purification in the Fire for their sins, but those with even the...
