Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man (2010)
Conference Proceeding

The standard approach to proving compiler correctness for concurrent languages requires the use of multiple translations into an intermediate process calculus. We present a simpler approach that avoids the need for such an intermediate language, usin... Read More about Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples (2010)
Conference Proceeding

Despite recent advances in DNA chip technology current microarray gene expression studies are still affected by high noise levels, small sample sizes and large numbers of uninformative genes. Combining microarray data with cellular pathway data by us... Read More about Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples.

Association between milk yield and serial locomotion score assessments in UK dairy cows (2010)
Journal Article

This study investigated the effect of lameness, measured by serial locomotion scoring over a 12-mo period, on the milk yield of UK dairy cows. The data set consisted of 11,735 records of test-day yield and locomotion scores collected monthly from 1,4...

Mathematical modelling of whole chromosome replication (2010)
Journal Article

All chromosomes must be completely replicated prior to cell division, a requirement that demands the activation of a sufficient number of appropriately distributed DNA replication origins. Here we investigate how the activity of multiple origins on e... Read More about Mathematical modelling of whole chromosome replication.

Editorial – Using sexual identity labels to move beyond them (2010)
Journal Article

This is the first issue of the Psychology of Sexualities Review. As mentioned in my previous Editorial, this change in name reflects the change made to the Section’s name, following a ballot of the Section’s membership. I trust that the papers in thi...

Sortase anchored proteins of Streptococcus uberis play major roles in the pathogenesis of bovine mastitis in dairy cattle (2010)
Journal Article

Streptococcus uberis, strain 0140J, contains a single copy sortase A (srtA), encoding a transamidase capable of covalently anchoring specific proteins to peptidoglycan. Unlike the wild-type, an isogenic mutant carrying an inactivating ISS1 insertion...

Journal Article

Gendered Performances in a Male-Dominated Subculture: 'Girl Racers', Car Modification and the Quest for Masculinity (2010)
Journal Article

This paper discusses female participation in the male-dominated 'boy racer' culture. Little is known about girls who join male-dominated subcultures while studies of car cultures have tended to describe girls as peripheral participants and emphasise...

Pseudomonas aeruginosaHomoserine Lactone Activates Store-operated cAMP and Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator-dependent Cl?Secretion by Human Airway Epithelia (2010)
Journal Article

The ubiquitous bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently causes hospital-acquired infections. P. aeruginosa also infects the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and secretes N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl)-S-homoserine lactone (3O-C12) to regulate bacteria...

Sloshing and slamming oscillations in a collapsible channel flow (2010)
Journal Article

We consider laminar high-Reynolds-number flow through a finite-length planar channel, where a portion of one wall is replaced by a thin massless elastic membrane that is held under longitudinal tension T and subject to a linear external pressure dist... Read More about Sloshing and slamming oscillations in a collapsible channel flow.

Adolescents living with cancer: The role of computer-mediated support groups (2010)
Journal Article

The present study sought to explore the types of social support being provided to adolescents with cancer accessing a computer-mediated support group. Three hundred and ninety-three messages posted to a computer-mediated support group aimed at adoles... Read More about Adolescents living with cancer: The role of computer-mediated support groups.

“What’s past is prologue”: negotiating the authority of tense in reviewing Shakespeare (2010)
Journal Article

This paper, rooted in reviewing practice, engages with a little-discussed practical aspect of reviewing: the tense in which a theatre review is written. Noting that journalistic reviews use the present tense, whereas academic reviews use the past, th...

The new family Diapheridae, a new species of Diaphera Albers from Thailand, and the position of the Diapheridae within a molecular phylogeny of the Streptaxoidea (Pulmonata: Stylommatophora) (2010)
Journal Article

The Streptaxoidea are an ancient and species diverse group that is poorly understood. Examination of the reproductive anatomy of Diaphera showed it to be notably distinct from that of most other streptaxid genera but to exhibit similarities with the...

Canonical toric Fano threefolds (2010)
Journal Article

An inductive approach to classifying toric Fano varieties is given. As an application of this technique, we present a classification of the toric Fano threefolds with at worst canonical singularities. Up to isomorphism, there are 674,688 such varieti...

Polaris, East of Suez: British Plans for a Nuclear Force in the Indo-Pacific, 1964–1968 (2010)
Journal Article

This article investigates the little-known plans formulated by Harold Wilson's Labour government to deploy Polaris submarines in the Indo-Pacific region. The scheme was first proposed in 1965 as a response to several problems faced by British policy-...

The role of contrast sensitivity in global motion processing deficits in the elderly (2010)
Journal Article

This study compared the effects of age on the perception of translational, radial, and rotational global motion patterns. Motion coherence thresholds were measured for judging the direction of each motion type as a function of contrast (visibility) a...
