Evaluating alternative gait strategies using evolutionary robotics (2004)
Journal Article
Sellers, W. I., Dennis, L. A., Wang, W.-J., & Crompton, R. H. (2004). Evaluating alternative gait strategies using evolutionary robotics. Journal of Anatomy, 204,

Evolutionary robitics is a branch of artificial intelligence concerned with the automatic generation of autonomous robots. Usually the form of the robit is predefined an various computational techniques are used to control the machine's behaviour. On...

Release currents of IP₃ receptor channel clusters and concentration profiles (2004)
Journal Article
Thul, R., & Falcke, M. (2004). Release currents of IP₃ receptor channel clusters and concentration profiles. Biophysical Journal, 86(5),

We simulate currents and concentration profiles generated by Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
to the cytosol through IP3 receptor channel clusters. Clusters are described as conducting pores in the lumenal membrane with a diameter f... Read More about Release currents of IP₃ receptor channel clusters and concentration profiles.

Stability of membrane bound reactions (2004)
Journal Article
Thul, R., & Falcke, M. (2004). Stability of membrane bound reactions. Physical Review Letters, 93(18), https://doi.org/10.1103/+PhysRevLet+t.93.188103

We present a novel approach to the dynamics of reactions of diffusing chemical species with species fixed in space e.g. by binding to a membrane. The non-diffusing reaction partners are clustered in areas with a diameter smaller than the diffusion length... Read More about Stability of membrane bound reactions.

Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect (2004)
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A. (2004). Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 362,

Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Cubero et al (1999) of
a DNA duplex containing the 'rogue' base difluorotoluene (F) in place of a
thymine (T) base show that breathing events can occur on the nanosecond
timescale, whereas breathing ev... Read More about Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect.

How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication (2004)
Journal Article
Williams, H. C. (2004). How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication. Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 51(1),

Background: The publication of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals is a fairly complex and stepwise process that involves responding to referees’ comments. Little guidance is available in the biomedical literature on how to deal with such c... Read More about How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication.

Thesis
Argyle, E. Caring and resources in older age. (Thesis). University of Sheffield. Retrieved from https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1163340

Due to the high incidence of ill health and disability amongst their contemporaries, older people are likely to be involved in informal caring relationships. Due to the limited nature of post-retirement incomes, such carers are also likely to be rela... Read More about Caring and resources in older age.
