WT1 Mutants Reveal SRPK1 to Be a Downstream Angiogenesis Target by Altering VEGF Splicing (2011)
Journal Article
Angiogenesis is regulated by the balance of proangiogenic VEGF 165 and antiangiogenic VEGF 165b splice isoforms. Mutations in WT1, the Wilms' tumor suppressor gene, suppress VEGF 165b and cause abnormal gonadogenesis, renal failure, and Wilms' tumors...

Computing with liquid crystal fingers: Models of geometric and logical computation (2011)
Journal Article
When a voltage is applied across a thin layer of cholesteric liquid crystal, fingers of cholesteric alignment can form and propagate in the layer. In computer simulation, based on experimental laboratory results, we demonstrate that these cholesteric...

Risk-driven compliant access controls for clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
There is widespread agreement that cloud computing have proven cost cutting and agility benefits. However, security and regulatory compliance issues are continuing to challenge the wide acceptance of such technology both from social and commercial st...

The cutting edge of artist’s books (2011)
Digital Artefact
Sarah Bodman was interviewed by Michael Shirrefs, Feature Producer of ABC Radio Australia’s ‘Artworks’ programme, at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne.
Most of us would have the notion that artists' books - that is 'books made by artists' -... Read More about The cutting edge of artist’s books.
Parathyroid imaging and localization using SPECT/CT: Initial results (2011)
Journal Article
Primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in up to 90% of clinical cases. Selective surgical excision of the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland is the treatment of choice for this condition, and parathyroid scintigraphy is...

Developing evidence-based practice amongst students (2011)
Journal Article
In response to government initiatives and the rise in patient empowerment, nurses are increasingly being challenged to deliver high-quality care supported by evidence-based practice. This can be a challenge for nurse educators providing the foundatio... Read More about Developing evidence-based practice amongst students.
Medication administration errors for older people in long-term residential care (2011)
Journal Article
Background: Older people in long-term residential care are at increased risk of medication prescribing and administration errors. The main aim of this study was to measure the incidence of medication administration errors in nursing and residential h...

Social scientists: Knowledge brokers for the natural sciences? (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Climate justice (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A discussion of climate justice in Latin America, focussing on Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela.
An extreme comparison of two downscaling approaches using Bayes factors (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Extreme rainfall events are the long-standing hydrological interest of flood defence and water resources management. Although traditional extreme value theory allows stationary extreme assessment, recent development of rainfall downscaling approaches...

The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846 (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Debris deposits on ice can either enhance or hinder glacial ablation relative to a clean ice surface. The effect of debris on ice is dependent on whether its thickness is above or below a critical thickness. This is the thickness at which ablation of...

Towards context caching in the clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Context information is traditionally collected from distributed digital artifacts and services and made available to similarly distributed, and often mobile, context consuming applications via context brokers or servers. Contextual data has a strong... Read More about Towards context caching in the clouds.
Comparison of ant-inspired gatherer allocation approaches using memristor-based environmental models (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Memristors are used to compare three gathering techniques in an already-mapped environment where resource locations are known. The All Site model, which apportions gatherers based on the modeled memristance of that path, proves to be good at increasi...

An architecture for integrated intelligence in urban management using cloud computing (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
With the existence of new methodologies and technologies it has now become possible to manage large amounts of environmental sensing data and apply new integrated computing models to acquire information intelligence. This paper advocates the applicat... Read More about An architecture for integrated intelligence in urban management using cloud computing.
From traditional to modern water management systems; Reflection on the evolution of a ‘water ethic’ in semi-arid Morocco (2011)
Book Chapter
Which strategic water policy options are semi arid, developing, Muslim, countries going to take in order to face the dilemmas that typically characterize the dual – and potentially conflicting – aspiration to modernize the economy whilst respecting t...

Medal, models and moguls - The fashion news roundup (2011)
Journal Article
In this special report, the VineOracle (IPStell's personal pundit on all things IP) brings news (and her own brand of predictions) for the aesthetically minded visitor. And it's a star-studded cast of high-flyers (and fast swimmers) from Paris and Ne... Read More about Medal, models and moguls - The fashion news roundup.
Ecological notes on the Annulated Treeboa (Corallus annulatus) from a Costa Rican lowland tropical wet forest (2011)
Journal Article
The Annulated Treeboa (Corallus annulatus) is one of nine currently recognized species in the boid genus Corallus. Its disjunct range extends from eastern Guatemala into northern Honduras, southeastern Nicaragua, northeastern Costa Rica, and southwes...

Estimators for RBS-based time synchronization in heterogeneous wireless networks (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A general scenario for using reference broadcast synchronization (RBS) in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks is defined, together with an appropriate model allowing to directly derive maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) to the skew and offset...

Pluralism, heterodoxy, and the rhetoric of distinction (2011)
Journal Article
The paper addresses the arguments made by Frederic Lee on heterodoxy and pluralism. It argues that the definitions of mainstream and heterodox, and consequently the differences between them, are highly problematic. Specifically it challenges Lee's ch...
