The effects of microstructural features on the performance gap in corrosion resistance between bulk and HVOF sprayed Inconel 625 (2010)
Journal Article

It is commonly observed that there is a performance gap between the corrosion resistance of thermally sprayed coatings and the equivalent bulk material. This is attributed to the significantly modified microstructure of the sprayed coatings. However,...

An ERP analysis of recognition and categorization decisions in a prototype-distortion task (2010)
Journal Article

Background Theories of categorization make different predictions about the underlying processes used to represent categories. Episodic theories suggest that categories are represented in memory by storing previously encountered exemplars in memory...

From poster to PhD: The evolution of a literature review (2010)
Book Chapter

A literature review evolves. At first the literature constitutes the research, then it is constituted by it. The story of the evolution of the literature review for Kerryn’s research is intertwined with the story of her evolving relationship with Hila...

Patterns of commissioning, contracting and care management in social care services for older people in England (2010)
Journal Article

A current objective of social care policy in England is to provide more personalised care services. This has implications for the provision of community based care for frail older people. Using data from a national postal survey of local authorities... Read More about Patterns of commissioning, contracting and care management in social care services for older people in England.

PRH/Hex controls cell survival through coordinate transcriptional regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling (2010)
Journal Article

The proline-rich homeodomain protein (PRH) plays multiple roles in the control of gene expression during embryonic development and in the adult. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a mitogen that stimulates cell proliferation and survival vi... Read More about PRH/Hex controls cell survival through coordinate transcriptional regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling.

RepD-mediated recruitment of PcrA helicase at the Staphylococcus aureus pC221 plasmid replication origin, oriD (2010)
Journal Article

Plasmid encoded replication initiation (Rep) proteins recruit host helicases to plasmid replication origins. Previously, we showed that RepD recruits directionally the PcrA helicase to the pC221 oriD, remains associated with it, and increases its pro...

Physical activity in rehabilitation and recovery (2010)
Book

Increasing physical activity at the population level is an important public health priority. Exercise is increasingly recognised as an essential lifestyle behaviour in maintaining health, preventing disease and rehabilitating a broad range of conditi...

Short-days induce weight loss in siberian hamsters despite overexpression of the agouti-related peptide gene (2010)
Journal Article

Many vertebrates express profound annual cycles of body fattening, although it is not clear whether these represent differential activity of the central pathways known to mediate homeostatic control of food intake and energy expenditure, or whether t...

Haptic negotiation and role exchange for collaboration in virtual environments (2010)
Conference Proceeding

We investigate how collaborative guidance can be realized in multi-modal virtual environments for dynamic tasks involving motor control. Haptic guidance in our context can be defined as any form of force/tactile feedback that the computer generates t...

Living with HIV/AIDS and use of online support groups (2010)
Journal Article

The present study explores the association between online support group use and health status, coping and social support among 640 individuals with HIV/AIDS. Results suggested that frequent users tended to be female, younger, single, and in a more ad... Read More about Living with HIV/AIDS and use of online support groups.

Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study (2010)
Journal Article

Background: Stochastic and asymptotic methods are powerful tools in developing multiscale systems biology models; however, little has been done in this context to compare the efficacy of these methods. The majority of current systems biology modellin... Read More about Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study.

Hybrid ortho/allosteric ligands for the adenosine A(1) receptor (2010)
Journal Article

Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including the adenosine A(1) receptor (A(1)AR), have been shown to be allosterically modulated by small molecule ligands. So far, in the absence of structural information, the exact location of the allosteric... Read More about Hybrid ortho/allosteric ligands for the adenosine A(1) receptor.

Targeting, care management and preventative services for older people: The cost-effectiveness of a pilot self-assessment approach in one local authority (2010)
Journal Article

As social services councils face a more constrained economic environment and as eligibility criteria tighten, the issue of targeting becomes increasingly relevant. This paper presents findings from a pilot project in one local authority that aimed to...

TopoGSA: network topological gene set analysis (2010)
Journal Article

TopoGSA (Topology-based Gene Set Analysis) is a web-application dedicated to the computation and visualization of network topological properties for gene and protein sets in molecular interaction networks. Different topological characteristics, such... Read More about TopoGSA: network topological gene set analysis.

Review: The ubiquitin-proteasome system: contributions to cell death or survival in neurodegeneration (2010)
Journal Article

The significance of the accumulation of ubiquitin-positive intraneuronal inclusions in the brains of those affected with different neurodegenerative diseases is currently unclear. While one interpretation is that the disease mechanism(s) involves dys... Read More about Review: The ubiquitin-proteasome system: contributions to cell death or survival in neurodegeneration.

Garlic as an inhibitor of pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing in cystic fibrosis - A pilot randomized controlled trial (2010)
Journal Article

Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms biofilms in the cystic fibrosis lung. Quorum sensing (QS) controls biofilm maturation, immune evasion, antibiotic tolerance and virulence factor production. Garlic shows QS inhibitory activity in vitro and in animal model...
