Amour in the Shrubbery: reading the detail of English adultery trial publications of the 1780s
(2006)This article examines how late-eighteenth-century knowledge about adultery was constituted through English publications based on legal evidence of female infidelity. A mass of published fragments and hints produced distinctive ... -
Agents in their own Concerns? Charity and the economy of makeshifts in eighteenth-century Britain
(Manchester University Press, 2003)In 1721, several 'Welsh gentlemen' complained to the governors of the Welsh Charity School in Clerkenwell, claiming that poor families were leaving Wales for London so that their children could benefit from the charity. ... -
Information-Theoretic Modeling of Sensory Ecology: Channels of Organism-Specific Meaningful Information
(MIT Press, 2007)Information theory developed by C. Shannon and his followers in the mathematical theory of communication surprisingly but successfully abstracted away from two questions: (1) the origin and maintenance of information ... -
Foundations and formalizations of self-organization
(Springer Nature, 2007)In the study of complex systems, the relevance of the phenomenon of self-organization is ubiquitous. For example the stripe formation in morphogenesis (Meinhardt 1972, 1982) reaction-diffusion automata (Turing 1952) the ... -
How Information and Embodiment Shape Intelligent Information Processing
(2007)Embodied artificial intelligence is based on the notion that cognition and action emerge from interactions between brain, body and environment. This chapter sketches a set of foundational principles that might be useful ... -
Construction of an Internal Predictive Model by Event Anticipation
(2007)We introduce information-theoretic tools that can be used in an autonomous agent for constructing an internal predictive model based on event anticipation. This model relies on two different kinds of predictive relationships: ... -
Human to robot demonstrations of routine home tasks: exploring the role of the robot's feedback
(2008)In this paper, we explore some conceptual issues, relevant for the design of robotic systems aimed at interacting with humans in domestic environments. More specifically, we study the role of the robot's feedback (positive ... -
'Not Strictly Proper For A Female Pen': Eighteenth-Century Poetry and the Sexuality of Botany
(2005)Examines the adaptations of Carl Linnaeus' "Systema Naturae," which introduced a new classification system of plants based on a sexual system of botany, by William Withering, Erasmus Darwin and Anna Seward. Use of botany ... -
Linnaeus in letters and the cultivation of the female mind: "Botany in an English dress"
(2005)In the eighteenth century many botanical texts were specifically addressed to the female sex. The language and arguments of botany, centring around reproduction and sexuality, experience and science, classification and ... -

The effect of solution composition on microtubule dynamic instability
(1991)The exchange of tubulin dimer into steady-state microtubules was studied over a range of solution conditions, in order to assess the effects of various common buffer components on the dynamic instability of microtubules. ... -
Getting diverse students and staff to talk about integration on campus, and what they say when they do: A UK-India collaborative case study.
(EERA, 2009)This paper reports the early stages of a UKIERI-funded project, ‘Widening Participation: Diversity, isolation or integration in Higher Education?’.The project is concerned with greater equity, social justice, community and ... -
Similarity between electron donor side reactions in the solubilized Photosystem II–LHC II supercomplex and Photosystem-II-containing membranes
(1999)The PS II–LHC II supercomplex is a novel type of oxygen evolving Photosystem II (PS II) core particle that contains the light harvesting complex proteins Lhcb1/2/4/5 in addition to the PS II reaction centre, oxygen evolving ... -
A provisonal regulatory gene network for specification of endomesoderm in the sea urchin embryo
(2002)We present the current form of a provisional DNA sequence-based regulatory gene network that explains in outline how endomesodermal specification in the sea urchin embryo is controlled. The model of the network is in a ... -
Evolving a Lingua Franca and Associated Software Infrastructure for Computational Systems Biology - the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) Project
(2004)Biologists are increasingly recognising that computational modelling is crucial for making sense of the vast quantities of complex experimental data that are now being collected. The systems biology field needs agreed-upon ... -
Changes in the Iron Coordination Sphere of Fe(II) Lipoxygenase-1 from Soybeans upon Binding of Linoleate or Oleate
(1995)Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of the non-heme iron constituent of lipoxygenase-1 from soybeans were obtained. The spectrum of 2.5 mM Fe(II) lipoxygenase, mixed with 1.2 M linoleate in the absence of O2, was compared ...
