The Field : An Experiment in Levinasian Ethics
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2013-12-18)Written with Juliette Brown. This article is written in the context of social anthropology and so self-consciously navigates the different knowledges assumed in its readership. It is an attempt at describing the history ... -
Treatment of Prostate Cancer Using Deimination Antagonists and Microvesicle Technology.
(Springer Nature Link, 2017)Cellular microvesicle (MV) release, which occurs in most eukaryotic cells, is also involved in cancer progression and has recently been associated with peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)-driven protein deimination. Evidence ... -
Children's Toys and Memories of Migration in Australian Museums
(2014-09-01)A miniature English cottage, a doll’s dress made of paper and a ‘Game Boy’: what could these objects have in common? All are toys that belonged to children who had moved to a new country, and all have been displayed in ... -
A Response to the issues raised in the Special Edition
(2017-01-31)‘A Response to the Issues Raised in the Special Edition of Ethnos’ (2015) is an afterword to the Special Edition on ethics of Ethnos: Journal of Anthropology (82:1). I was invited to respond to the edition on the basis of ... -
Label-free real-time acoustic sensing of microvesicle release from prostate cancer (PC3) cells using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
(2014-10-24)Using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance with dissipation monitoring, QCM-D (label-free system) measuring changes in resonant frequency (Δf) that equate to mass deposited on a sensor, we showed the attachment, over a 60 min ... -
Prostate cancer cells stimulated by calcium-mediated activation of protein kinase C undergo a refractory period before re-releasing calcium-bearing microvesicles
(2015-05-08)MVs are released in response to several stress agents, in an attempt to prevent continued cellular damage. After an initial stimulus of prostate cancer cells with sublytic C5b-9 and activation of MV release through PKC, ... -
Microvesicles released constitutively from prostate cancer cells differ biochemically and functionally to stimulated microvesicles released through sublytic C5b-9
(2015-05-08)We have classified microvesicles into two subtypes: larger MVs released upon stimulation of prostate cancer cells, sMVs, and smaller cMVs, released constitutively. cMVs are released as part of cell metabolism and sMVs, ... -
Strategies for Landscape Representation : digital and analogue techniques
(Routledge, 2016-12-16)Strategies for Landscape Representation discusses a variety of digital and analogue production techniques for the representation of landscape at multiple scales. Careful consideration is required to represent time, and to ... -
A Visual History of The Future
(Government Office for Science, 2014-09-25)This paper is concerned with how future cities have been visualised between 1900 and 2014, what these projections sought to communicate and why. The paper is organised into eight sections. Each of the first seven sections ... -
Inhibitory effect of tungsten carbide nanoparticles on voltage-gated potassium currents of hippocampal CA1 neurons
(2012-03-07)The effects of tungsten carbide nanoparticles (nano-WC) on the properties of voltage-dependent potassium currents and evoked action potentials were studied in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons of rats at the ages of ... -
The possible mechanism of silver nanoparticle impact on hippocampal synaptic plasticity and spatial cognition in rats
(2012-03-25)Silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) are very promising engineered nanomaterials which play an important role in the world biomedical, healthcare and in general nanotechnology applications. With the most impressive effect in ... -
The implications of the Montgomery judgment on pharmacy practice and patients with learning disability
(2017-11-28)The judgment in Montgomery v Lanarkshire (Scotland) 2015 introduced a new definition of informed consent which has implications for all healthcare professionals. This article focuses specifically on the implications for ... -
The impact of the Financial Crisis 2008 on How We Teach Economics
(2015-08-01)The world financial system was brought to a standstill in 2008. The consequences of the subsequent recession are being felt until today. Financial crisis affected not only the whole economies, but also reshaped the economics ... -
Sensitivity studies on convective schemes and model resolutions in the simulations of wintertime circulation and precipitation over the Western Himalayas
(2015-02-01)The present study examines the performance of convective parameterization schemes at two different horizontal resolutions (90 and 30 km) in simulating winter (December–February; DJF) circulation and associated precipitation ... -
Dynamical Downscaling Approach for Wintertime Seasonal-Scale Simulation over the Western Himalayas
(2014-08-01)The performance of RegCM4 for seasonal-scale simulation of winter circulation and associated precipitation over the Western Himalayas (WH) is examined. The model simulates the circulation features and precipitation in three ... -
Improving patient education on pressure ulcers
(2014-09-16)Pressure damage is a commonly encountered harm that can have significant impact on patients, carers and healthcare providers. Preventing the occurrence of pressure damage requires a multipronged approach of which patient ... -
Readiness to change drinking behaviour among heavy-drinking university students in England
(2014-01-01)There is growing literature on possible ways of reducing alcohol consumption and alcohol -related harm among university students (Larimer and Cronce, 2002; Siegers and Carey, 2010). However, interventions with this aim ... -
Caffeine supplementation and peak anaerobic power output.
(2015-07-04)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeine supplementation on peak anaerobic power output (Wmax). Using a counterbalanced, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 14 well-trained men ... -
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ... -
