Journal Article
Mitchinson, B., Gurney, K. N., Redgrave, P., Melhuish, C., Pipe, A. G., Pearson, M., …Prescott, T. J. (2004). Empirically inspired simulated electro-mechanical model of the rat mystacial follicle-sinus complex.

In whiskered animals, activity is evoked in the primary sensory afferent cells (trigeminal nerve) by mechanical stimulation of the whiskers. In some cell populations this activity is correlated well with continuous stimulus parameters such as whisker...

Discussion about the nexus between research and teaching in higher education has so far tended to take place at a generic level, with comparatively little attention paid to the significance of subject-based variations. Drawing on an educational devel... Read More about Knowledge production and the research-teaching nexus: The case of the built environment disciplines.

Understanding adjustment to disfigurement: The role of the self-concept (2004)

The objective of this study was to determine whether variation in psychological adjustment to physically disfiguring conditions is related to organisation of the content of appearance-related information in the self-concept. A cross-sectional design... Read More about Understanding adjustment to disfigurement: The role of the self-concept.

Brood sorting by ants: Two phases and differential diffusion (2004)
Journal Article

Leptothorax ant colonies sort their brood in concentric annuli with the smallest items in the middle and the largest on the periphery. Such brood sorting is a prime example of collective structure formation by social insects. Its underlying mechanism... Read More about Brood sorting by ants: Two phases and differential diffusion.

Journal Article
Barker, G. L., Wilson, I. D., Beswick, R. W., Shepherd, S. K., Lu, C., Coghill, J. A., …Edwards, K. J. (2004). A transcriptomics resource for wheat functional genomics. Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2(6), 495-506. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7652.2004.00096.x

Grain development, germination and plant development under abiotic stresses are areas of biology that are of considerable interest to the cereal community. Within the Investigating Gene Function programme we have produced the resources required to in... Read More about A transcriptomics resource for wheat functional genomics.

A cumulative prospect theory approach to passengers behavior modeling: Waiting time paradox revisited (2004)
Journal Article
Avineri, E. (2004). A cumulative prospect theory approach to passengers behavior modeling: Waiting time paradox revisited. Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems: Technology, Planning, and Operations, 8(4), 195-204. https://doi.org/10.1080/15472450490523856

Common travel-choice models are based on the assumption that travelers ' behavior is rational. However, using normative models to describe individual choice was criticized by behavioral scientists, and recently also by transportation researchers. In...

Maintainability of building has been identified as one of the key areas in which the construction industry in Singapore must achieve significant improvement. However, maintainability is generally given little attention in many developing countries. T... Read More about Improving the maintainability of buildings in Singapore.

Predicting the occurrence of grind hardening in cubic boron nitride grinding of crankshaft steel (2004)
Journal Article

Grind hardening is a stock removal grinding operation in which the heat generated in the grinding zone is used to heat-treat the workpiece surface to a specified depth. A thermal model to describe this process has been developed from the original Jae... Read More about Predicting the occurrence of grind hardening in cubic boron nitride grinding of crankshaft steel.
