High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations (2011)
Journal Article

Injuries related to boat traffic have been documented as a major source of human-related injuries and deaths in many aquatic species but have not been documented in crocodilians. We examined the proportion of boat-related injuries in Spectacled Caima... Read More about High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations.

The threat of force as an action in self-defense under international law (2011)
Journal Article

Self-defense is a universally accepted exception to the prohibition of the use of force in international law, and it has been subjected to careful academic scrutiny. The prohibition of the threat of force, although equally important in terms of its... Read More about The threat of force as an action in self-defense under international law.

Coarsening of equiaxed microstructure in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy through SIMA processing (2011)
Journal Article

In the present study, the coarsening mechanism of equiaxed grains in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy, treated via strain induced melting activation process, was investigated. The kinetics of equiaxed grain growth in the semisolid state of... Read More about Coarsening of equiaxed microstructure in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy through SIMA processing.

Correlation between solid fraction and tensile properties of semisolid RAP processed aluminum alloys (2011)
Journal Article

Recrystallization and remelting (RAP), a promising route for thixoforming process, was used to process three aluminum alloys, AA2024, AA6061, and A356, under experimental conditions designed to yield various solid fractions (liquid fractions) within...

Multiple models to inform climate change policy: A pragmatic response to the 'beyond the ABC' debate (2011)
Journal Article

We have followed with interest the debate in this journal between Shove (2010; 2011) and Whitmarsh & colleagues (2011) on contrasting theoretical approaches and representations of pro-environmental behaviour and social change, and of the potential, r...

Quantification of unfractionated heparin in human plasma and whole blood by means of novel fluorogenic anti-FXa assays (2011)
Journal Article

Novel and sensitive plate-based fluorogenic anti-factor Xa (FXa) assays were investigated to quantify unfractionated heparin (UFH) in human plasma and whole blood within the therapeutic ranges of 0-1.6. U/mL and 0-0.8. U/mL, respectively. Two fluorog... Read More about Quantification of unfractionated heparin in human plasma and whole blood by means of novel fluorogenic anti-FXa assays.

Development of an amperometric, screen-printed, single-enzyme phosphate ion biosensor and its application to the analysis of biomedical and environmental samples (2011)
Journal Article

An amperometric phosphate biosensor, based on a cobalt phthalocyanine screen-printed carbon electrode (CoPC-SPCE) is described. The immobilisation of the enzyme pyruvate oxidase (PyOd) was investigated using pre-formed cellulose acetate/cellulose nit...

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...

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...

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...
