Hydrogen sulfide and cell signaling (2011)
Journal Article

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous mediator synthesized from cysteine by cystathionine λ lyase (CSE) and other naturally occurring enzymes. Pharmacological experiments usingH2S donors and genetic experiments using CSE knockout mice suggest important... Read More about Hydrogen sulfide and cell signaling.

Dissociation of mirroring and mentalising systems in autism (2011)
Journal Article

The role of mirror neuron systems and mentalising systems in causing poor social and communication skills in individuals with autistic spectrum conditions is hotly debated. We studied 18 adults with autistic spectrum conditions in comparison to 19 ag... Read More about Dissociation of mirroring and mentalising systems in autism.

Redox Protein Expression Predicts Radiotherapeutic Response in Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer Patients (2011)
Journal Article

Purpose Early-stage invasive breast cancer patients have commonly undergone breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy. In a large majority of these patients, the treatment is effective; however, a proportion will develop local recurrence. Deregul...

Simulation of multiple ion channel block provides improved prediction of compounds’ clinical torsadogenic risk (2011)
Journal Article

© 2011 The Author. Aims The level of inhibition of the human Ether - go-go-related gene (hERG) channel is one of the earliest preclinical markers used to predict the risk of a compound causing Torsade-de-Pointes (TdP) arrhythmias. While avoiding the... Read More about Simulation of multiple ion channel block provides improved prediction of compounds’ clinical torsadogenic risk.

Persistence, replacement, and rapid clonal expansion of meningococcal carriage isolates in a 2008 university student cohort (2011)
Journal Article

A study of meningococcal carriage dynamics was performed with a cohort of 190 first-year students recruited from six residential halls at Nottingham University, United Kingdom. Pharyngeal swabs were obtained on four occasions between November 2008 an...

Relationships between phenology, radiation and precipitation in the Amazon region (2011)
Journal Article

In tropical areas, Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) still have deficiencies in simulating the timing of vegetation phenology. To start addressing this problem, standard Fourier-based methods are applied to aerosol screened monthly remotely se...

Motif detection inspired by immune memory (2011)
Journal Article

The search for patterns or motifs in data represents an area of key interest to many researchers. In this paper we present the Motif Tracking Algorithm, a novel immune inspired pattern identification tool that is able to identify variable length unk...

Researching the gender division of unpaid domestic work: practices, relationships, negotiations, and meanings (2011)
Journal Article

The paper focuses on the potential of quantitative research methods for sociologists who research the gender division of unpaid domestic work. To begin, it reflects on the emergence of the sociological interest in unpaid domestic work and identifies...

Moral expressivism and sentential negation (2011)
Journal Article

This paper advances three necessary conditions on a successful account of sentential negation. First, the ability to explain the constancy of sentential meaning across negated and unnegated contexts (the Fregean Condition). Second, the ability to exp...

Geographies of shit: spatial and temporal variations in attitudes towards human waste (2011)
Journal Article

Taboos surrounding human waste have resulted in a lack of attention to spatial inequalities in access to sanitation and the consequences of this for human, environmental and economic health. This paper explores spaces where urgent environmental healt... Read More about Geographies of shit: spatial and temporal variations in attitudes towards human waste.

Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London (2011)
Journal Article

Studies of the rise of London's vestries in the period to 1640 have tended to discuss them in terms of the inexorable rise of oligarchy and state formation. This article re-examines the emergence of the vestries in several ways, moving beyond this tr... Read More about Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London.

Congestion aware forwarding in delay tolerant and social opportunistic networks (2011)
Conference Proceeding

We propose an approach for opportunistic forwarding that supports optimization of multipoint high volume data flow transfer while maintaining high buffer availability and low delays. This paper explores a number of social, buffer and delay heuristics... Read More about Congestion aware forwarding in delay tolerant and social opportunistic networks.

Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology (2011)
Journal Article

We continue to introduce bi-galileon theory, the generalisation of the single galileon model introduced by Nicolis et al. The theory contains two coupled scalar fields and is described by a Lagrangian that is invariant under Galilean shifts in those... Read More about Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology.

Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models (2011)
Journal Article

We consider a coarse grained neural field model for synaptic activity in spatially extended cortical tissue that possesses an underlying periodicity in its microstructure. The model is written as an integro-differential equation with periodic modula... Read More about Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models.

A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant (2011)
Journal Article

The dry period is a critical time in the lactation cycle, offering the optimum time for cure of existing intramammary infection (IMI), while also encompassing the periods of highest susceptibility to new intramammary infection. Until recent years, in... Read More about A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant.

Identification of new functional regions in hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein E2 (2011)
Journal Article

Little is known about the structure of the envelope glycoproteins of hepatitis C virus (HCV). To identify new regions essential for the function of these glycoproteins, we generated HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) containing HCV envelope glycoproteins, E...
