The CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist AM251 blocks amphetamine-induced behavioural sensitization together with monoamine changes in the mouse nucleus accumbens and hippocampus
(2007)Endogenous cannabinoids modulate the activity of dopamine reward pathways and may play a role in the development of behavioural sensitization to psychostimulants. Here, we investigated the effects of the CB1 cannabinoid ... -
Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception
(2010)In Merleau-Ponty's "Preface" to his Phenomenologie de la Perception (1945), he asks "What is phenomenology?" - and he suggests that it is still in a process of being defined. Not so untimely, this remains true today, and ... -
Controlling barrier penetration via exothermic iron oxidation
(2011-02-14)Exothermic iron oxidation is an elegant means to generate heat, with the potential to modulate barrier penetration if reaction kinetics can be controlled. This aim of this study was to gain a fundamental understanding of ... -
A fundamental investigation into the effects of eutectic formation on transmembrane transport
(2010-06-30)Eutectic systems enhance the permeation of therapeutic agents across biological barriers, but the mechanism by which this occurs has not previously been elucidated. Using human skin it has proven difficult to isolate the ... -
Correcting Errors in Optical Data Transmission Using Neural Networks
(2010)Optical data communication systems are prone to a variety of processes that modify the transmitted signal, and contribute errors in the determination of 1s from 0s. This is a difficult, and commercially important, problem ... -
Multimodal security enforcement framework for wireless ad hoc networks
(2009)Securing wireless ad hoc networks in an untrustworthy open environment is always a challenging problem. Lack of central auditing on security and weak incentive for cooperation among nodes in an open network scenario demand ... -
Evidence for both inverse agonism at the cannabinoid CB1 receptor and the lack of an endogenous cannabinoid tone in the rat and guinea-pig isolated ileum myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparation
(2010)Background and purpose: Cannabinoid receptor agonists reduce intestinal propulsion in rodents through the CB1 receptor. In addition to its antagonistic activity at this receptor, rimonabant (N-(piperidino)-5-(4-chlorophe ... -
Minimum component high frequency Gm-C wavelet filters based on Maclaurin series and multiple loop feedback
(2010)A minimum component high frequency Gm-C wavelet filter structure is presented. A simple function from Maclaurin series approximation is used and the current-mode follow-the-leader feedback structure is employed. For the ... -
The bank directors' duties : time for the new enlightenment?
(2010)In the aftermath of the recent banking crisis, much of the debate on how to secure future financial stability has focused on forms of bespoke banking regulation and corporate governance. This article, however, considers ... -
A morphometric study of the human ear
(2010)Aims: We examined variations in the shape of the human ear according to age, sex and ethnic group with particular attention to ear prominence. Methods: 420 volunteers were recruited. Measurements included; head height and ... -
Can social interaction constitute social cognition?
(2010)An important shift is taking place in social cognition research, away from a focus on the individual mind and toward embodied and participatory aspects of social understanding. Empirical results already imply that social ... -
The Anglo-Australian planet search. XX. A solitary ice-giant planet orbiting HD 102365
(2011)We present 12 years of precision Doppler data for the very nearby G3 star HD 102365, which reveals the presence of a Neptune-like planet with a 16.0 M-Earth minimum mass in a 122.1 day orbit. Very few "Super Earth" planets ... -
Distributions and interactions of the stem miners Psylliodes chrysocephala and Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus and their parasitoids in a crop of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(2006)The within-field spatio-temporal distributions and relationships of two pest insects with stem-mining larvae, Psylliodes chrysocephala (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: ... -
Mapping, characterisation, and comparison of the spatio-temporal distributions of cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala), carabids, and Collembola in a crop of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(2003)The spatio-temporal distribution of Psylliodes chrysocephala (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) (L.) (Cruciferae) and its potential predators, carabid beetles, within a crop of winter ... -
Microcurrent Therapy in the Management of Chronic Tennis Elbow
(2011-03-10)Microcurrent therapy (MCT) involves the application of sub-sensory electric current and can promote tissue repair, possibly by mimicking endogenous electrical cues for healing. It has been used successfully to treat ... -
Viable Knowledge: The Centrality of Practice
(2011-03-10)This thesis investigates how individual student nurses construct a body of knowledge that is appropriate and able to support or underpin their practical experiences in the early part of their undergraduate pre-registration ... -
Limited engagements and narrative extensions
(2008)E-approaches to the mind stress the embodied, embedded and enactive nature of mental phenomena. In their more radical, non-representational variants these approaches offer innovative and powerful new ways of understanding ... -
