The Pursuit of integration in the assessment of older people with health and social care needs (2010)
Journal Article

The provision of timely and effective services for older people with health and social care needs is dependent on the collection of accurate assessment information being shared with relevant agencies and accepted by them. This requires an integrated... Read More about The Pursuit of integration in the assessment of older people with health and social care needs.

Glycosylation of surface Ig creates a functional bridge between human follicular lymphoma and microenvironmental lectins (2010)
Journal Article

Surface Ig (sIg) of follicular lymphoma (FL) is vital for tumor cell survival. We found previously that the Ig in FL is unusual, because the variable region genes carry sequence motifs for N-glycan addition. These are introduced by somatic mutation a...

Pediatric brain tumor cancer stem cells: cell cycle dynamics, DNA repair, and etoposide extrusion (2010)
Journal Article

Reliable model systems are needed to elucidate the role cancer stem cells (CSCs) play in pediatric brain tumor drug resistance. The majority of studies to date have focused on clinically distinct adult tumors and restricted tumor types. Here, the CSC...

Signalling pathways involved in ribonuclease-7 expression (2010)
Journal Article

Antimicrobial peptides are host defence molecules that play a potential role in preventing infection at the epithelial surfaces. Ribonuclease (RNase)-7 has been shown to possess a broad spectrum of microbicidal activity against various pathogens. Her...

Parasitoid developmental mortality in the field: patterns, causes and consequences for sex ratio and virginity (2010)
Journal Article

1. Sex ratio theory predicts that developmental mortality can affect sex ratio optima under Local Mate Competition and also lead to ‘virgin’ broods containing only females with no sibling-mating opportunities on maturity. 2. Estimates of development... Read More about Parasitoid developmental mortality in the field: patterns, causes and consequences for sex ratio and virginity.

Differential gaze behavior towards sexually preferred and non-preferred human figures (2010)
Journal Article

The gaze pattern associated with image exploration is a sensitive index of our attention, motivation, and preference. To examine whether an individual's gaze behavior can reflect his or her sexual interest, this study compared gaze patterns of young...

MoveM8! A technology-based physical activity intervention for UK worksites: Results of a randomized controlled trial conducted from September 2009 to August 2010 (2010)
Journal Article

Uneven opening of China's society, economy, and politics: pro-growth authoritarian governance and protests in China (2010)
Journal Article

This article evaluates China's model of development, especially its main component, i.e. its model of governance. It suggests that China's model of development is marked by an imbalance between fast opening of the economy and the society and sluggish...

Label-free molecular imaging of immunological synapses between dendritic and T cells by Raman micro-spectroscopy (2010)
Journal Article

Confocal Raman micro-spectroscopy (CRMS) was used to measure spectral images of immunological synapse formation between dendritic and T cells without using molecular labels or other invasive procedures. The purpose-built inverted CRMS instrument inte... Read More about Label-free molecular imaging of immunological synapses between dendritic and T cells by Raman micro-spectroscopy.

Relaxin family peptides in the male reproductive system-a critical appraisal (2010)
Journal Article

The human genome project has identified, besides ovarian relaxin (RLN), six other relaxin-like molecules (RLN3, H1-RLN, INSL3-6), most of which appear to be expressed in the testis and/or male reproductive system, together with four different G-prote...

Concrete pavements as a source of heating and cooling (2010)
Conference Proceeding

There is great potential to use the large open space of pavement structures, equipped with an embedded pipe network, in conjunction with a heat pump, to provide heating and cooling for adjacent buildings, e.g. airport terminals, shopping centres etc,...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α is involved in the pro-angiogenic effect of hydrogen sulfide under hypoxic stress (2010)
Journal Article

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is known to have pro-angiogenic properties in mammals. In this study, we examined H2S played the role in pro-angiogenesis mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α under hypoxic conditions. Rat brain capillary endothelial c...

Participation in export markets and the role of R&D: establishment-level evidence from the UK Community Innovation Survey 2005 (2010)
Journal Article

There is a strong expectation in the literature that exporting and innovation activities (particularly R&D) are strongly related, and that the need to be innovative is increasing over time due to globalization. In this study, we find that R&D is endo... Read More about Participation in export markets and the role of R&D: establishment-level evidence from the UK Community Innovation Survey 2005.

Influence of cellulose on ion diffusivity in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate cellulose solutions (2010)
Journal Article

Solutions of microcrystalline cellulose in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate have been investigated using pulsedfield gradient 1H NMR. In all cases the geometrically larger cation was found to diffuse faster than the smaller anion. Arrhenius tempe...

Social cohesion through football: a quasi-experimental mixed methods design to evaluate a complex health promotion program (2010)
Journal Article

Social isolation and disengagement fragments local communities. Evidence indicates that refugee families are highly vulnerable to social isolation in their countries of resettlement. Research to identify approaches to best address this is needed. Foo...

High energy improved scalar quantum field theory from noncommutative geometry without UV/IR-mixing (2010)
Journal Article

We consider an interacting scalar quantum field theory on noncommutative Euclidean space. We implement a family of noncommutative deformations, which -- in contrast to the well known Moyal-Weyl deformation -- lead to a theory with modified kinetic te...

Integrating airborne multispectral imagery and airborne LiDAR data for enhanced lithological mapping in vegetated terrain (2010)
Journal Article

Practical and financial constraints associated with traditional field-based lithological mapping are often responsible for the generation of maps with insufficient detail and inaccurately located contacts. In arid areas with well exposed rocks and so... Read More about Integrating airborne multispectral imagery and airborne LiDAR data for enhanced lithological mapping in vegetated terrain.
