Partial regularity and t-analytic sets for Banach function algebras (2011)
Journal Article
In this note we introduce the notion of t-analytic sets. Using this concept, we construct a class of closed prime ideals in Banach function algebras and discuss some problems related to Alling’s conjecture in H infinity. A description of all closed t...

A review of alcohol pricing and its effects on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm (2011)
Journal Article
Alcohol has a complex relationship with any given society. On one hand, it may have some benefits by providing a means of leisure and socialization and a source of revenue through taxation of its sales while on the other hand; it has harmful effects...

Aroma encapsulation and aroma delivery by oil body suspensions derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus) (2011)
Journal Article
Oil bodies are small discrete cell organelles that can be found within oilseeds. Oil bodies have been investigated previously as a potential technology platform for use within the food industry, offering stable, antioxidant-enriched lipid-delivery...

First principles predictions of thermophysical properties of refrigerant mixtures (2011)
Journal Article
We present pair potentials for fluorinated methanes and their dimers with CO2 based on ab initio potential energy surfaces. These potentials reproduce the experimental second virial coefficients of the pure fluorinated methanes and their mixtures wit...

Simulating current global river runoff with a global hydrological model: Model revisions, validation, and sensitivity analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Global hydrological models (GHMs) model the land surface hydrologic dynamics of continental-scale river basins. Here we describe one such GHM, the Macro-scale-Probability-Distributed Moisture model.09 (Mac-PDM.09). The model has undergone a number of...

Ambassador David Bruce and “LBJ's War”: Vietnam Viewed from London, 1963–1968 (2011)
Journal Article
Recent decades have seen growing historical interest in “second rank” officials who, whilst they do not play a leading role in government or political movements, can influence the way decisions are shaped and executed. At the same time, the interest... Read More about Ambassador David Bruce and “LBJ's War”: Vietnam Viewed from London, 1963–1968.
PU.1 is a major transcriptional activator of the tumour suppressor gene LIMD1 (2011)
Journal Article
LIMD1 is a tumour suppressor gene (TSG) down regulated in ?80% of lung cancers with loss also demonstrated in breast and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. LIMD1 is also a candidate TSG in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Mechanistically... Read More about PU.1 is a major transcriptional activator of the tumour suppressor gene LIMD1.
Case management for people with long-term conditions: impact upon emergency admissions and associated length of stay (2011)
Journal Article
This paper describes findings from a study that evaluated the implementation and impact of case management for long-term conditions (CMLTC) in 10 primary care trusts (PCTs). Patients who have long-term conditions and complex health and social needs m...

Rutting as a function of dynamic modulus and gradation (2011)
Journal Article
This study was conducted to investigate rutting resistance of asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures as a function of dynamic modulus and gradation. The Flow number (FN) test, the (NCHRP 9-19) recommended procedure for evaluating rutting resistance of AC mix... Read More about Rutting as a function of dynamic modulus and gradation.
Armed conflict and child health (2011)
Journal Article
Armed conflict has a major impact on child health throughout the world. One in six children worldwide lives in an area of armed conflict and civilians are more likely to die than soldiers as a result of the conflict. In stark contrast to the effe... Read More about Armed conflict and child health.
Calpain-1 expression is associated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab following adjuvant chemotherapy (2011)
Journal Article
The calpain family, and their endogenous inhibitor calpastatin, has been implicated in cancer progression, and recent in vitro data have indicated a role in trastuzumab resistance. The aims of our study were to examine expression levels of calpastati...

Children, young people and requests for police station legal advice: 25 years on from PACE (2011)
Journal Article
Informed by data extracted from 30,921 police electronic custody records, drawn from 44 police stations across four police force areas and including 5153 records of juveniles aged 10 to 17 years, this article examines the take-up of legal advice by c...

Cross-Cultural Similarities and Differences in Person-Body Reasoning: Experimental Evidence From the United Kingdom and Brazilian Amazon (2011)
Journal Article
We report the results of a cross‐cultural investigation of person‐body reasoning in the United Kingdom and northern Brazilian Amazon (Marajó Island). The study provides evidence that directly bears upon divergent theoretical claims in cognitive psych...

Cloning of the repertoire of individual Plasmodium falciparum var genes using Transformation Associated Recombination (TAR) (2011)
Journal Article
One of the major virulence factors of the malaria causing parasite is the Plasmodium falciparum encoded erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). It is translocated to It the membrane of infected erythrocytes and expressed from approximately 60 var ge...

Transcriptional Regulation of Inflammatory Genes Associated with Severe Asthma (2011)
Journal Article
The 10% of patients with the most severe asthma are responsible for a large part of healthcare expenditure and morbidity. Understanding the processes involved is key if new therapeutic approaches are to be developed. Evidence is accumulating that chr...

Principal component analysis of image gradient orientations for face recognition (2011)
Conference Proceeding
We introduce the notion of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of image gradient orientations. As image data is typically noisy, but noise is substantially different from Gaussian, traditional PCA of pixel intensities very often fails to estimate reli...

Reduced dopamine function within the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens enhances latent inhibition (2011)
Journal Article
Latent inhibition (LI) manifests as poorer conditioning to a CS that has previously been presented without consequence. There is some evidence that LI can be potentiated by reduced mesoaccumbal dopamine (DA) function but the locus within the nucleus...
