The voltammetric behaviour of lead at a microband screen-printed carbon electrode and its determination in acetate leachates from glazed ceramic plates (2011)
Journal Article

Microband screen-printed carbon electrodes (μBSPCEs) without further modification have been investigated as disposable sensors for the measurement of lead in acetate leachates from ceramic glazed plates. Cyclic voltammetry was employed to elucidate t...

‘In sight, out of mind’: The experiences of the compliantly engaged community psychiatric out-patient (2011)
Journal Article

Research on engagement within communitybased psychiatric services in the UK has mainly focussed on factors related to those 'at risk' of non-attendance or non-compliance, with the tacit assumption that those in regular attendance are largely content...

Development of a fluorescent method for detecting the onset of coagulation in human plasma on microstructured lateral flow platforms (2011)
Journal Article

Microfluidic devices and microsystems have been used to develop blood coagulation monitoring devices for point of care diagnostic use. However, many of them suffer from inherent variability and imprecision, partly due to the fact that they only detec...

The role of c-kit-positive interstitial cells in mediating phasic contractions of bladder strips from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (2011)
Journal Article

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Although the functional significance of ICCs in the bladder is still not clear, they have been linked with detrusor overactivity. In this study we demonstrate the presence of c-kit positive in...

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... Read More about In-cylinder studies of CAI/HCCI combustion with negative valve overlap in a direct injection gasoline optical engine.

The effect of social interactions on travel behaviour: An exploratory study using a laboratory experiment (2011)
Journal Article

This study demonstrates the use of a laboratory experiment for investigating the effects of social interaction on the dynamics of travellers' choice behaviour. A small-scale exploratory experiment is carried out. Analyses are conducted using statisti...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

European League Against Rheumatism recommendations for the inclusion of patient representatives in scientific projects (2011)
Journal Article

Objective: To develop recommendations to enable successful inclusion of the patient perspective in European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)-funded scientific research projects. Methods: The EULAR standardised operational procedures for guideline de...
