Cost-effectiveness of point-of-care biomarker assessment for suspected myocardial infarction: The randomized assessment of treatment using panel assay of cardiac markers (RATPAC) trial (2011)
Journal Article
Objectives: Chest pain due to suspected myocardial infarction (MI) is responsible for many hospital admissions and consumes substantial health care resources. The Randomized Assessment of Treatment using Panel Assay of Cardiac markers (RATPAC) trial...

Overactive, overwrought or overdrawn? the role of personality in undergraduate financial knowledge, decision-making and debt (2011)
Journal Article
The financial situation of undergraduate students remains a high-profile issue within the UK higher education sector, not least due to its perceived relationship with retention, well-being and success. This article probes this question from a new dir... Read More about Overactive, overwrought or overdrawn? the role of personality in undergraduate financial knowledge, decision-making and debt.
Investigating the contribution of procedural and declarative memory to the acquisition of past tense morphology: Evidence from Finnish (2011)
Journal Article
The present paper reports on a study that investigated the role of procedural and declarative memory in the acquisition of Finnish past tense morphology. Two competing models were tested. Ullman's (2004) declarative/procedural model predicts that pro...

Dealing with social desirability bias: An application to charitable giving (2011)
Journal Article
Purpose: This paper aims to address the issue of survey distortion caused by one of the most common and pervasive sources of bias, namely social desirability bias (SDB). Despite 50 years of research, there are still many unanswered questions about it... Read More about Dealing with social desirability bias: An application to charitable giving.
Mosquito age and susceptibility to insecticides (2011)
Journal Article
Insecticides play a crucial role in controlling the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases and the development and spread of insecticide resistance is a major threat to sustainable control. Guidelines developed by the WHO to monitor for insecticide... Read More about Mosquito age and susceptibility to insecticides.
Innovation in global public goods: Issues and challenges in provision of environment-monitoring services in Europe (2011)
Journal Article
Global climate change has necessitated a co-ordinated response from policy-makers across the world. Though the imperative for action has been much discussed in policy circles, actions at the implementation level remain somewhat less well-developed. T...

Shifting normalities: Interactions of changing conceptions of a normal life and the normalisation of symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis (2011)
Journal Article
Biographical disruption and related concepts have been widely applied in chronic illness. Different conceptualisations of normalisation have also been proposed in order to explain individuals' diverse responses to illness on their biography, but as y...

Investigating the effects of fluidic connection between microbial fuel cells (2011)
Journal Article
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can 'treat' wastewater but individually are thermodynamically restricted. Scale-up might, therefore, require a plurality of units operating in a stack which could introduce losses simply through fluidic connections. Experi...

In-cylinder studies of CAI/HCCI combustion with negative valve overlap in a direct injection gasoline optical engine (2011)
Journal Article
The CAI/HCCI combustion was achieved through residual gas trapping using the negative valve overlap method in a direct injection single-cylinder gasoline engine with optical access. Effects of injection timing and spark discharge on the engines perfo...
