Marital stability and quality in families created by assisted reproduction techniques: A follow-up study (2012)
Journal Article

An increasing number of children are being born with the use of assisted reproduction techniques such as donor insemination, egg donation and surrogacy. There have been concerns that the use of these third-party reproduction techniques may have a neg...

The new visual journalism (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Opportunities for illustrators have vastly increased over the last few years partly due to new technologies and the growth and easy availability of visual material. There is a theory we are approaching an era of
new visual literacy, (Kress & Van Le... Read More about The new visual journalism.

Evaluation of a silver-based electrocatalyst for the determination of hydrogen peroxide formed via enzymatic oxidation (2012)
Journal Article

Silver paste electrodes modified with lyotropic phases formed from dodecyl benzenesulphonic acid and KCl were used as the reductant in the determination of the hydrogen peroxide released from the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase with glucose and...

Development of a novel, physiologically relevant cytotoxicity model: Application to the study of chemotherapeutic damage to mesenchymal stromal cells (2012)
Journal Article

There is an increasing need for development of physiologically relevant in-vitro models for testing toxicity, however determining toxic effects of agents which undergo extensive hepatic metabolism can be particularly challenging. If a source of such... Read More about Development of a novel, physiologically relevant cytotoxicity model: Application to the study of chemotherapeutic damage to mesenchymal stromal cells.

CRPS: Diagnosis, management and the nurse's role (2012)
Journal Article

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a little known condition which may be rarely encountered by the nursing profession. This may lead to a delay in diagnosis and the initiation of important rehabilitation strategies. This article aims to raise... Read More about CRPS: Diagnosis, management and the nurse's role.

The validation of a functional, isolated pig bladder model for physiological experimentation (2012)
Journal Article

Characterizing the integrative physiology of the bladder requires whole organ preparations. The purpose of this study was to validate an isolated large animal (pig) bladder preparation, through arterial and intravesical drug administration, intravesi...

Cluster-based fast broadcast in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes a cluster-based broadcast protocol to disseminate delay-sensitive information throughout a wireless sensor network (WSN). The protocol considers the use of duty-cycling at the MAC layer, which is essential to reduce energy dissipa... Read More about Cluster-based fast broadcast in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks.

Beyond boundaries: Sense-making and fuzzy learning from stories about failures and successes of social enterprises (2012)

Modelling Alberti's column system: Generative modelling and digital fabrication of classical architectural elements (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The research presented further is part of the Digital Alberti research project, which aims to assess the influence of Leon Batista Alberti's theory on Portuguese architecture, through the use of digital technologies. One of the project tasks implied... Read More about Modelling Alberti's column system: Generative modelling and digital fabrication of classical architectural elements.

Urban acoustic simulation: Analysis of urban public spaces through auditory senses (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores the sonic characteristics of urban spaces, with the application of apprehending acoustic space and form theory. The theory defines auditory spaces as acoustical arenas, which are spaces defined and delineated by sonic events. Hist...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Criticality and strong intermittency in the lorentz channel (2012)
Journal Article

We demonstrate the emergence of criticality due to power-law cross correlations in an ensemble of noninteracting particles propagating in an infinite Lorentz channel. The origin of these interparticle long-range correlations is the intermittent dynam... Read More about Criticality and strong intermittency in the lorentz channel.

International protection of environmental refugees (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

UNEP in its 2009 Conflict to Peacebuilding Review reports that at least eighteen violent conflicts have been fuelled by environmental degradation or natural resource exploitation or both since 1990 and that at least 40 percent of all intrastate confl...

Practising social innovation: The role of social enterprises (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Social innovation has been practiced for decades, however relatively little is known. According to Mulgan (2006), Social innovation refers to the innovative activities motivated by a social need and objective, predominantly diffused through organisat...

Emotions and remote working: Are there inferences for the development of leadership theory and practice? (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this presentation is to explore notions of flexible working practices and the emotional experiences of remote working, concluding in a consideration of these new working practices for the development of leadership theory and practice.

Conflicts of interest: Fragmenting nursing (Keynote Speech) (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Nursing is, as a profession, often portrayed or described as a homogenous and stable entity. This presentation argues otherwise. It is suggested that, in the 21st century, the profession of nursing may well splinter as fragmentary pressures make them...
