Management of tinnitus in English NHS audiology departments: an evaluation of current practice (2010)
Journal Article
Rationale, aim and objective: In 2009, the UK Department of Health formalized recommended National Health Service practices for the management of tinnitus from primary care onwards. It is timely therefore to evaluate the perceived practicality, utili... Read More about Management of tinnitus in English NHS audiology departments: an evaluation of current practice.
Coding of Reward Risk by Orbitofrontal Neurons Is Mostly Distinct from Coding of Reward Value (2010)
Journal Article
Risky decision-making is altered in humans and animals with damage to the orbitofrontal cortex. However, the cellular function of the intact orbitofrontal cortex in processing information relevant for risky decisions is unknown. We recorded responses...

A hybrid approach to multi-scale modelling of cancer (2010)
Journal Article
In this paper, we review multi-scale models of solid tumour growth and discuss a middleout framework that tracks individual cells. By focusing on the cellular dynamics of a healthy colorectal crypt and its invasion by mutant, cancerous cells, we comp... Read More about A hybrid approach to multi-scale modelling of cancer.

Conditional Cooperation and Costly Monitoring Explain Success in Forest Commons Management (2010)
Journal Article
Recent evidence suggests that prosocial behaviors like conditional cooperation and costly norm enforcement can stabilize large-scale cooperation for commons management. However, field evidence on the extent to which variation in these behaviors among... Read More about Conditional Cooperation and Costly Monitoring Explain Success in Forest Commons Management.
Phenomenological modeling of cell-to-cell and beat-to-beat variability in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Experimental action potential (AP) recordings in isolated ventricular myoctes display significant temporal beatto- beat variability in morphology and duration. Furthermore, significant cell-to-cell differences in AP also exist even for isolated cells...

Systematic review of levodopa dose equivalency reporting in Parkinson's disease: Systematic Review of LED Reporting in PD (2010)
Journal Article
Interpretation of clinical trials comparing different drug regimens for Parkinson's disease (PD) is complicated by the different dose intensities used: higher doses of levodopa and, possibly, other drugs produce better symptomatic control but more la...

High performance multilevel converter topology for interfacing energy storage systems with medium voltage grids (2010)
Conference Proceeding
This paper proposes a high performance hybrid cascaded H-Bridge (HB) Multilevel Converter (MLC) with integrated Series Active Power Filter SAPF for interfacing energy storage systems with medium voltage grids. Isolated DC sources comprised of modular... Read More about High performance multilevel converter topology for interfacing energy storage systems with medium voltage grids.
Characterization of energy storage devices for constant power applications (2010)
Conference Proceeding
In this paper, a few known characterization techniques for supercapacitors have been evaluated with the purpose of being able to predict the roundtrip efficiency of an energy storage system under constant power application. It is found that the user... Read More about Characterization of energy storage devices for constant power applications.
Literacy, power, and the schooled body: Learning in time and space (2010)
Book
What effects do space and time have on classroom management, discipline, and regulation? How do teachers’ practices create schooled and literate students? To explore these questions, this book looks at early childhood classrooms, charting the shifts... Read More about Literacy, power, and the schooled body: Learning in time and space.
The role of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapA-1) in Neisseria meningitidis adherence to human cells (2010)
Journal Article
Background Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GAPDHs) are cytoplasmic glycolytic enzymes, which although lacking identifiable secretion signals, have also been found localized to the surface of several bacteria (and some eukaryotic organisms... Read More about The role of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapA-1) in Neisseria meningitidis adherence to human cells.
Work time. Leisure time. On women’s temporal and economic wellbeing in Europe (2010)
Journal Article
In the study of work time, a wealth of influential ideas have emerged about the potentially damaging impact of too many hours in the labour market on the rest of peoples’ lives, as well as about the negative economic ramifications of short hours work...

The retributive emotions: passions and pains of punishment (2010)
Journal Article
It is not usually morally permissible to desire the suffering of another person, or to act so as to satisfy this desire; that is, to act with the aim of bringing about suffering. If the retributive emotions, and the retributive responses of which the... Read More about The retributive emotions: passions and pains of punishment.
Clone stories: ‘shallow are the souls that have forgotten how to shudder’ (2010)
Journal Article
This article explores literary interrogations of the bioethical implications of cloning. It does so by outlining the basic science of cloning before going on to question the dominance of the Freudian notion of the ‘uncanny’ in the critical theoretica...

Indoor multipath effect study on the Locata system (2010)
Journal Article
GNSS has become one of the most wide- spread measurement technologies, allowing cm-level positioning accuracy using RTK or Network RTK. Unfortunately, the system’s major drawbacks are the requirement for a clear view of the sky and accu- racy depende... Read More about Indoor multipath effect study on the Locata system.
Familiarity-based stimulus generalization of conditioned suppression in rats is dependent on the perirhinal cortex (2010)
Journal Article
We report that bilateral, excitoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex attenuate rats' familiarity-based stimulus generalization. After surgery, rats were preexposed either to 2 auditory stimuli (A and B) or to only 1 auditory stimulus (B). Following p...

DNA compaction by the higher-order assembly of PRH/Hex homeodomain protein oligomers (2010)
Journal Article
Protein self-organization is essential for the establishment and maintenance of nuclear architecture and for the regulation of gene expression. We have shown previously that the Proline-Rich Homeodomain protein (PRH/Hex) self-assembles to form oligom...
