Mechanisms are Real and Local
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011)Mechanisms have become much-discussed, yet there is still no consensus on how to characterise them. In this paper, we start with something everyone is agreed on – that mechanisms explain – and investigate what constraints ... -
Mechanisms contributing to visceral hypersensitivity : focus on splanchnic afferent nerve signalling
(2015-11-19)Visceral hypersensitivity is a main characteristic of functional bowel disorders and is mediated by both peripheral and central factors. We investigated whether enhanced splanchnic afferent signaling in vitro is associated ... -
Mechanisms controlling the infection of Culicoides biting midges with bluetongue virus
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)The mechanisms controlling the transmission of bluetongue virus (DTV) by vector Clilicoides species were studied using immunohistochemistry, virus titration assays, in vitro transmission tests, viral binding protein ... -
Mechanisms of acute vasodilator response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide in the rat coronary microcirculation
(1998)This study has investigated the mechanisms of the acute vasodilator action of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the rat Langendorff perfused heart. -
Mechanisms of disease : the hypoxic tubular hypothesis of diabetic nephropathy
(2008)Diabetic nephropathy is traditionally considered to be a primarily glomerular disease, although this contention has recently been challenged. Early tubular injury has been reported in patients with diabetes mellitus whose ... -
Mechanisms responsible for the build-up of ozone over South East England during the August 2003 heatwave
(2011-12-01)The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model is used in order to quantify reasons for the build-up of ozone over South East England during the August 2003 heatwave. Unlike previous studies, the effects of individual ... -
Mechanisms underlying the onset and expression of levodopa-induced dyskinesia and their pharmacological manipulation
(2011-12)A significant proportion of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) receiving dopamine replacement therapy in the form of levodopa develop dyskinesia that becomes a major complicating factor in treatment. Dyskinesia can ... -
Mechanistic evidence : Disambiguating the Russo-Williamson Thesis
(2011)Russo and Williamson claim that establishing causal claims requires mechanistic and difference-making evidence. In this paper, I will argue that Russo and Williamson’s formulation of their thesis is multiply ambiguous. I ... -
Mechanistic studies leading to a new procedure for rapid microwave assisted generation of pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile libraries
(2007-06-11)Mechanistic investigations into the multi-component synthesis of pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles have established a defined reaction pathway, particularly clarifying the role of aerobic oxidation in conversion of the intermediate ... -
A Media Access Control Protocol for Wireless Adhoc Networks with Misbehaviour Avoidance
(University of York, 2013)The most common wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is IEEE 802.11. Currently IEEE 802.11 standard protocol is not resilient for many identified MAC layer attacks, because the protocol is designed without intention ... -
Media Influence on Anxiety, Health Utility, and Health Beliefs Early in the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic-a Survey Study
(2021-02-24)Background: The psychological effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and response are poorly understood. Objective: To understand the effects of the pandemic and response on anxiety and health utility in a nationally representative ... -
