Influences on the formation and evolution of Physarum polycephalum inspired emergent transport networks (2011)
Journal Article

The single-celled organism Physarum polycephalum efficiently constructs and minimises dynamical nutrient transport networks resembling proximity graphs in the Toussaint hierarchy. We present a particle model which collectively approximates the behavi... Read More about Influences on the formation and evolution of Physarum polycephalum inspired emergent transport networks.

Logic for coalitions with bounded resources (2011)

Information impacts on route choice and learning behavior in a congested network (2011)
Journal Article

Every traveler makes route choices in an uncertain environment that includes random disruptions to the traffic system such as incidents, bad weather, and random behavior of fellow travelers. The premise underlying the development of advanced traveler... Read More about Information impacts on route choice and learning behavior in a congested network.

Gendered incorporations: Critically embodied reflections on the gender divide in organisation studies (2011)
Journal Article

Challenging yet extending extant efforts in organisation studies to disrupt the gender divide, we develop an embodied account to more fundamentally dissolve the binaries that divide conventional forms of female and male embodiment. Despite a prolifer... Read More about Gendered incorporations: Critically embodied reflections on the gender divide in organisation studies.

Geography, Memory and Non-Representational Geographies (2011)
Journal Article

I discuss the presence of memory within geography, particularly in relation to the interweaving non-representational/peformative/affective 'turns'. Memory seems under-considered in these non-representational geographies (nrgs) which focus on the affe... Read More about Geography, Memory and Non-Representational Geographies.

Comparison of the anticoagulant response of a novel fluorogenic anti-FXa assay with two commercial anti-FXa chromogenic assays (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction: Fast and accurate monitoring is crucial in the successful regulation of coagulation therapy. For the treatment of venous thromboembolism, both unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are commonly administe...

Comparison of a fluorogenic anti-FXa assay with a central laboratory chromogenic anti-FXa assay for measuring LMWH activity in patient plasmas (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction: Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are used worldwide for the treatment and prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders. Routine laboratory tests are not required due to the predictable pharmacokinetics of LMWHs, with the exception of pr...
