Synchronous contention-based MAC protocols for delay-sensitive wireless sensor networks: A review and taxonomy (2013)
Journal Article

Duty-cycling allows obtaining significant energy saving compared to full duty cycle (sleepless) random access MAC protocols. However, it may result in significant latency. In slotted duty-cycled medium access control (MAC) protocols, sensor nodes per...

Lyndon B. Johnson and arms credit sales to Iran 1964–1968 (2013)
Journal Article

During the 1960s, Iran transitioned from a client state into an emerging partner of America. Crucial to the analysis of this transformation is understanding how Iran progressed from a low-priority military aid recipient in the 1950s to a military cre... Read More about Lyndon B. Johnson and arms credit sales to Iran 1964–1968.

Microfabricated glucose biosensor for culture welloperation (2013)

Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain? (2013)
Journal Article

UK local air quality action planning has failed to remediate exceedances of air quality targets, particularly for nitrogen dioxide, which are widespread and persistent a decade after the first local action plans were drafted. This paper is relevant t... Read More about Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain?.

Protein distribution during human erythroblast enucleation in vitro (2013)
Journal Article

Enucleation is the step in erythroid terminal differentiation when the nucleus is expelled from developing erythroblasts creating reticulocytes and free nuclei surrounded by plasma membrane. We have studied protein sorting during human erythroblast e... Read More about Protein distribution during human erythroblast enucleation in vitro.

On A. D. Smith's constancy based defence of direct realism (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents an argument against A D Smith's Direct Realist theory of perception, which attempts to defend Direct Realism against the argument from illusion by appealing to conscious perceptual states that are structured by the perceptual cons...

Clinical evidence of parietal cortex dysfunction and correlation with extent of allodynia in CRPS type 1 (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Unusual symptoms such as digit misidentification and neglect-like phenomena have been reported in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), which we hypothesized could be explained by parietal lobe dysfunction. Methods: Twenty-two patients w... Read More about Clinical evidence of parietal cortex dysfunction and correlation with extent of allodynia in CRPS type 1.

Investigation on Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) pollen transmission through cross-pollination (2013)
Journal Article

DNA- and RNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems were used with Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) primers designed from conserved regions of the six published genomic sequences of CSSV to investigate whether the virus is transmissible from i...

Dendritic cell migration assay: A potential prediction model for identification of contact allergens (2013)
Journal Article

This manuscript describes methodology and a prediction model for the MUTZ-LC migration assay. The assay represents the physiological change in Langerhans cell (LC) behavior after exposure to a sensitizing chemical, resulting in LC migration from the...

Looking 'the same': Experiences of women who have had corrective surgery for breast asymmetry (2013)
Journal Article

Qualitative interviews with ten women found that following corrective surgery for congenital breast asymmetry, women were still concerned with the symmetry of their breasts and expressed high ideals regarding symmetry. Although women found an improve... Read More about Looking 'the same': Experiences of women who have had corrective surgery for breast asymmetry.

Rainwater harvesting in the UK: exploring water-user perceptions (2013)
Journal Article

Understanding the receptivity, including concerns and drivers, of water-users such as householders, is vital in facilitating the promotion, appropriate installation, end-use and maintenance of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems. This article presents... Read More about Rainwater harvesting in the UK: exploring water-user perceptions.

Potential for carfree development in the UK (2013)
Journal Article

Carfree residential areas have been developed in a number of cities in Europe, with clear social and environmental benefits, but the concept has not been widely adopted in the UK. This paper aims to assess the potential consumer demand for housing in... Read More about Potential for carfree development in the UK.

Deliberation over new hydrogen energy technologies: Evidence from two Citizens Panels in the UK (2013)
Journal Article

Hydrogen energy and hydrogen energy technologies are still largely at the experimental and demonstration project stages.
