Governance, networks and policy change: The case of Cannabis in the United Kingdom (2009)
Book Chapter

The two coterminous concepts of governance and policy networks have been reasserted in public management studies in the wake of the recent decline in the popularity of the so-called New Public Management (NPM) movement. The concepts appear to be inte... Read More about Governance, networks and policy change: The case of Cannabis in the United Kingdom.

New percolation crossing formulas and second-order modular forms (2009)
Journal Article

We consider the three crossing probability densities for percolation recently found via conformal field theory [23]. We prove that all three of them (i) may be simply expressed in terms of Cardy’s [4] and Watts’ [24] crossing probabilities, (ii) are...

Economics and Human Geography (2009)
Book Chapter

© 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. At first glance, economics and human geography seem to have much in common. However, the relationship between the two disciplines has been dynamic and contested over recent years as epistemologies and ontolog... Read More about Economics and Human Geography.

An improved version of volume dominance for multi-objective optimisation (2009)
Book Chapter

This paper proposes an improved version of volume dominance to assign fitness to solutions in Pareto-based multi-objective optimisation. The impact of this revised volume dominance on the performance of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms is inve...

John Freeman, 1969–71 (2009)
Book Chapter

At less than two years duration, the ambassadorship of John Freeman was the second shortest covered by this book. It took place, too, in a singularly uneventful period in Anglo-American relations, between the dramas of 1967–68 — when the devaluation... Read More about John Freeman, 1969–71.

Covert auditory spatial orienting: An evaluation of the spatial relevance hypothesis (2009)
Journal Article

Suppression to visual, auditory, and gustatory stimuli habituates normally in rats with excitotoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex (2009)
Journal Article

In 3 habituation experiments, rats with excitotoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex were found to be indistinguishable from control rats. Two of the habituation experiments examined the habituation of suppression of responding on an appetitive, inst...

Lithological mapping of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, using airborne LiDAR topographic data (2009)
Journal Article

Traditional field-based lithological mapping can be a time-consuming, costly and challenging endeavour when large areas need to be investigated, where terrain is remote and difficult to access and where the geology is highly variable over short dista...

Identification of sortase A (SrtA) substrates in Streptococcus uberis: evidence for an additional hexapeptide (LPXXXD) sorting motif (2009)
Journal Article

Sortase (a transamidase) has been shown to be responsible for the covalent attachment of proteins to the bacterial cell wall. Anchoring is effected on secreted proteins containing a specific cell wall motif toward their C-terminus; that for sortase A...

Evolution and stability of cosmic string loops with Y-junctions (2009)
Journal Article

We study the evolution of non-periodic cosmic string loops containing Y-junctions, such as may form during the evolution of a network of (p,q) cosmic superstrings. We set up and solve the Nambu-Goto equations of motion for a loop with junctions, focu... Read More about Evolution and stability of cosmic string loops with Y-junctions.

Comparative attainment of 5-year undergraduate and 4-year graduate entry medical students moving into foundation training (2009)
Journal Article

Background Graduate entry medicine is a recent innovation in UK medical training. Evidence is sparse at present as to progress and attainment on these programmes. Shared clinical rotations, between an established 5-year and a new graduate entry co...

Physiological concentrations of dietary polyphenols regulate vascular endothelial cell expression of genes important in cardiovascular health (2009)
Journal Article

Previous cell culture-based studies have shown potential health beneficial effects on gene expression of dietary polyphenols, including those found in red wine and green tea. However, these studies have tended to use higher concentrations (2-100m) th...

AF4 Is a Critical Regulator of the IGF-1 Signaling Pathway during Purkinje Cell Development (2009)
Journal Article

Deregulation of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway is a recurrent finding in mouse models and human patients with cerebellar ataxia and thus represents a common pathological cascade in neuronal cell death that may be targeted...

The democratic role of campaign journalism: partisan representation and public participation (2009)
Journal Article

Campaign journalism is a distinctive but under-researched form of editorialised news reporting that aims to influence politicians rather than inform voters. In this it diverges from liberal norms of social responsibility, but instead campaigning new...
