Evaluation of the effects of venlafaxine and pregabalin on the carbon dioxide inhalation models of Generalised Anxiety Disorder and panic (2012)
Journal Article

Previous studies have shown that subjective and objective symptoms of anxiety induced by 7.5% CO2 inhalation can be attenuated by anxiolytics such as lorazepam and, to a lesser extent, paroxetine. Venlafaxine and pregabalin, two other licensed treatm...

Factors influencing response rates to ALSPAC questionnaires (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This presentation describes an analysis of response rates to questionnaires to mothers, their partners and the children/young people in the ALSPAC (Children of the 90s) study. Response rates are plotted over time. Multi-level models are then used to... Read More about Factors influencing response rates to ALSPAC questionnaires.

Evolution of supershapes for the generation of three-dimensional designs (2012)
Journal Article

This paper explores the evolution of three-dimensional objects with a simple generative encoding, known as the Superformula. Evolving three-dimensional objects has long been of interest in a wide array of disciplines, from engineering (e.g., robotics...

The effect of frequency and phonological neighbourhood density on the acquisition of past tense verbs by Finnish children (2012)
Journal Article

The acquisition of the past tense has received substantial attention in the psycholinguistics literature, yet most studies report data from English or closely related Indo-European languages. We report on a past tense elicitation study on 136 4a-6-ye...

The development of the EU asylum policy: Venue-shopping in perspective (2012)
Journal Article

The development of the EU asylum and migration policy is often explained as the result of ‘venue-shopping’, that is, the move by policy-makers to an EU policy venue in order to avoid national constraints. This article demonstrates that, contrary to w... Read More about The development of the EU asylum policy: Venue-shopping in perspective.

Analysis of factors affecting value for money in UK PFI projects (2012)
Journal Article

This paper aims to report findings from a study on factors that made value for money (VFM) in private finance initiative (PFI) projects vulnerable to variations. It seeks to identify the top influencing factors, rank them according to the relative st... Read More about Analysis of factors affecting value for money in UK PFI projects.

Presentation / Conference Contribution

The use of new technology in module delivery to large cohorts (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Teaching mathematics to level 1 engineers is a difficult task due to the size of the cohort, the diversity of ability and the limit on both space and staff resources. Modern equipment provision in lecture theatres means that staff have been forced ad... Read More about The use of new technology in module delivery to large cohorts.

Fit for purpose? Planning and food production in the peri-urban space (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A recent British Council project highlighted the important role that local food production can play in addressing climate change. But is our planning system capable supporting strategies to encourage small scale and community food production, especia... Read More about Fit for purpose? Planning and food production in the peri-urban space.

Survey on latency issues of asynchronous MAC protocols in delay-sensitive wireless sensor networks (2012)
Journal Article

Energy-efficiency is the main concern in most Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. For this purpose, current WSN MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols use duty-cycling schemes, where they consciously switch a node's radio between active and sl...

A consistent approach for the treatment of Fermi acceleration in time-dependent billiards (2012)
Journal Article

The standard description of Fermi acceleration, developing in a class of time-dependent billiards, is given in terms of a diffusion process taking place in momentum space. Within this framework, the evolution of the probability density function (PDF)... Read More about A consistent approach for the treatment of Fermi acceleration in time-dependent billiards.

Combined pedunculopontine-subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson disease (2012)
Journal Article

Objective: To assess the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) and caudal zona incerta (cZi)-both separately and in combination-on motor symptoms and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in patients with Parkinso...

Cartesian genetic programming for memristive logic circuits (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper memristive logic circuits are evolved using Cartesian Genetic Programming. Graphs comprised of implication logic (IMP) nodes are compared to more ubiquitous NAND circuitry on a number of logic circuit problems and a robotic control task...
