Direct perception in the intersubjective context
(2008)This paper, in opposition to the standard theories of social cognition found in psychology and cognitive science, defends the idea that direct perception plays an important role in social cognition. The two dominant theories, ... -
Localized and non-contact mechanical stimulation of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons using scanning ion conductance microscopy
(2007)Mechanosensitive ion channels convert external mechanical force into electrical and chemical signals in cells, but their physiological function in different tissues is not clearly understood. One reason for this is that ... -
Stretch-induced injury in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures reproduces in vivo post-traumatic neurodegeneration : role of glutamate receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels
(2007)The relationship between an initial mechanical event causing brain tissue deformation and delayed neurodegeneration in vivo is complex because of the multiplicity of factors involved. We have used a simplified brain surrogate ... -
Miners' identity and the changing face of the labour process within the UK coal mining industry

Investigation of Double-Chamber Series Valveless Micropump : An Analytical Approach
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)We describe an analytical study of the characteristics of a double-chamber series valveless micropump using a one-dimensional non-linear model. We derive a closed-form expression for relationship between the mean volume ... -
c-abl is involved in the association of p53 and trk A.
(2000-06-15)The p53 tumour suppressor phosphoprotein associates with proteins involved in DNA replication, transcription, cell cycle machinery and regulation of its own expression. Recently it has been shown that p53 can also bind to ... -
