The role of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor and its endogenous ligands, anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, in amphetamine-induced behavioural sensitization
(2008)Cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands (endocannabinoids) have been implicated in cocaine and amphetamine reward. Their role in psychostimulant-induced behavioural sensitization still has to be determined. The ... -
The UK Benchmark Statement for Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Environmental Studies : A Critical Evaluation and Implications for Assessing Quality Criteria
(2002)This article is written by the chairman and a panel member of the UK Benchmarking Group in Earth Science, Environmental Science and Environmental Studies. In it we have discussed the broad “purpose” of benchmarking and the ... -
Developing New Lecturers : The Case of a Discipline Based Workshop
(2002)An educational development issue common to all disciplines and countries is how to combine generic development of staff as teachers with appropriate engagement with the specificities of teaching individual subjects. This ... -
The Research-Teaching Nexus in Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
(2003)This article is an edited version of a longer essay on the topic available on the LTSN-GEES Web site (www.gees.ac.uk) (Healey et al., 2003). Drawing on an LTSN-GEES project, it argues that students may benefit from developing ... -
iHARP a Multiple Instruction Issue Processor Chip Incorporating RISC and VLIW Design Features
(1992)RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computers) processors have established an impressive performance standard by executing one instruction in each processor cycle. More recently, VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) and superscalar ... -
Addressing Mechanisms for VLIW and Superscalar Processors
(1993)RISC processors employ simple addressing modes which allow memory addresses to be calculated in a single processor cycle. This paper demonstrates that VLIW and Superscalar processor performance can be improved by further ... -
HARP: A Parallel Pipelined RISC Processor
(1989)HARP (the Hatfield RISC processor) is a reduced instruction set processor being developed at Hatfield Polytechnic, UK. The major aim of the HARP project is to develop a RISC processor capable of a sustained instruction ... -
The use of turbulent inflow conditions for the modelling of high aspect ratio jet
(2005)The aim of this work is to investigate the capabilities of a turbulent inflow method. The application selected for this study is the high aspect ratio jet. The complexities associated to the numerical modelling of a high ... -
Attacking The Bounds of Cognition
(2006)Recently internalists have mounted a counter-attack on the attempt to redefine the bounds of cognition. The counter-attack is aimed at a radical project which I call “cognitive integration,” which is the view that internal ... -
Barbie or Betty? : Pre-school children's preference for brands and evidence for gender-linked differences
(2003)Children in the United Kingdom watch more television and are exposed to more advertising than children in any other European country. This article investigates the extent to which preschool children (aged 4-5 years) prefer ... -
Voluntary involuntariness : Thought suppression and the regulation of the experience of will
(2003)Participants were asked to carry out a series of simple tasks while following mental control instructions. In advance of each task, they either suppressed thoughts of their intention to perform the task, concentrated on ... -
Bars and the symmetry of star formation patterns in the discs of spiral galaxies
(1998)We present a test for the degree of symmetry in the distribution of the Hα brightness along the arms of a sample of spiral galaxies. The test consists of deriving the cross-correlation function of the Hα brightness as a ... -
INGRID: A near-infrared camera for the William Herschel Telescope
(2003)Rapid developments in near-infrared (NIR) arrays and adaptive optics systems have driven the development of wide-field and high-spatial-resolution, high-optical-quality NIR imagers and spectrographs, providing an unparalleled ... -
Is the Rapid Decay Phase from High Latitude Emission?
(2009)There is good observationnal evidence that the Steep Decay Phase (SDP) that is observed in most Swift GRBs is the tail of the prompt emission. The most popular model to explain the SDP is Hight Latitude Emission (HLE). ... -
Two problems of intersubjectivity
(2009)I propose a distinction between two closely related problems: the problem of social cognition and the problem of participatory sense-making. One problem focuses on how we understand others; the other problem focuses on ... -
Folk psychology as narrative practice
(2009)There has been a long-standing interest in the putative roles that various so-called ‘theory of mind’abilities might play in enabling us to understand and enjoy narratives. Of late, as our understanding of the complexity ... -
Adaptive optics imaging and TAURUS 2-D spectroscopy of galaxy cores
(2001)Many barred galaxies show enhanced star formation activity in ring-like regions around their centres, at typical radii of 1–2 kpc. We show how kinematic (WHT TAURUS Fabry-Pérot velocity mapping) and imaging (CFHT near ...
