Sare, G. M., Ali, M., Shuaib, A., & Bath, P. M. (2009). Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration. Stroke, 40(6), https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.108.539155

Background and Purpose—High blood pressure (BP) is associated independently with poor outcome after acute ischemic stroke, although in most analyses “baseline” BP was measured 24 hours or more postictus, and not during the hyperacute period.
Methods... Read More about Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration.

Direct tactile stimulation of dorsal occipito-temporal cortex in a visual agnosic (2009)
Journal Article

The human occipito-temporal cortex is preferentially activated by images of objects as opposed to scrambled images [1]. Touching objects (versus textures) also activates this region [2–10]. We used neuropsychological fMRI to probe whether dorsal regi... Read More about Direct tactile stimulation of dorsal occipito-temporal cortex in a visual agnosic.

Atrial septal defects are a common congenital heart defect in humans. Although mutations in different genes are now frequently being described, little is known about the processes and mechanisms behind the early stages of atrial septal development. B...

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.

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.

Social motives in network formation: an experiment (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
van Dolder, D., & Buskens, V. (2009). Social motives in network formation: an experiment.

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.
