Relationship of neurofibrillary pathology to cerebral amyloid angiopathy in Alzheimer's disease (2005)
Journal Article

Over 90% of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) develop cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Severe dyshoric CAA, in which amyloid extends into the surrounding brain parenchyma, may be associated with adjacent clustering of tau-immunopositive neurit...

Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2005)
Journal Article

We experimentally demonstrate that excitation wave-fragments in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) medium with immobilised catalyst can be used to build elementary logical gates and circuits. Following our previous theoretical constructions [Adamatzky A. Co... Read More about Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium.

Bi(III) Catalysed O-acylative cleavage of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran: A substrate dependent borderline mechanism (2005)
Journal Article

The Bi(III) catalysed O-acylative cleavage of cis- and trans-2,5- dimethyltetrahydrofuran 4 with AcCl, BzCl or i-PrCOCl is stereochemically consistent with the operation of a concerted process (AND N), which proceeds via a stabilised carbocation or '...

Falling through the cracks: Limits to an instrumental rational role for environmental information in planning (2005)
Journal Article

This paper explores the potential for environmental information to play an instrumental rational role in planning through an empirical investigation of regional planning processes in the German federal state of Brandenburg. The findings show that env... Read More about Falling through the cracks: Limits to an instrumental rational role for environmental information in planning.

Politeness-induced semantic change: The case of quand même (2005)
Journal Article

This article contributes to a growing body of theory that posits language-external, social factors as a primary motor in diachronic change. Politeness theory and the use of variationist approaches enable us to posit, and test, the hypothesis of a typ... Read More about Politeness-induced semantic change: The case of quand même.

Amino acid determination using screen-printed electrochemical sensors (2005)
Journal Article

The use of a screen-printed electrochemical sensor (SPES) strip, consisting of a two-electrode system (a carbon working electrode and Ag/AgCl reference electrode), for amino acid determination is reported. The behaviour of the SPES toward cysteine an... Read More about Amino acid determination using screen-printed electrochemical sensors.

A study exploring drug use and management of patients presenting to an inner city emergency department (2005)
Journal Article

Patients who present to an emergency department (ED) with a problem related to illegal drug use can be difficult to identify and are perceived to generate a significant workload for staff. This study suggests that illicit drug use may be more common... Read More about A study exploring drug use and management of patients presenting to an inner city emergency department.

From schism to continuum? The problematic relationship between expert and lay knowledge - An exploratory conceptual synthesis of two qualitative studies (2005)
Journal Article

Ideas about lay and expert knowledge increasingly underscore debates within qualitative health research. In this article, the authors develop an exploratory synthesis of two qualitative studies in which they critique the lay-expert divide, suggesting... Read More about From schism to continuum?

Sheila Dow's concept of dualism: Clarification, criticism and development (2005)
Journal Article

This paper analyses Dow's concept of dualism and decomposes it into eight categories, one not explicitly identified by Dow. It is argued that Dow's original definition is underdeveloped and thereby lacking practical relevance. The paper presents a de...
