The effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on systolic and diastolic function in rat ventricular myocytes (2013)
Journal Article
Greensmith, D., & Nirmalan, M. (2013). The effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on systolic and diastolic function in rat ventricular myocytes. Physiological Reports, 1(4), e00093. https://doi.org/10.1002/phy2.93

The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is associated with myocardial dysfunction observed in sepsis and septic shock. There are two fundamental components to this dysfunction. (1) systolic dysfunction; and (2) diastolic dysf...

Demonstrating compliance with protection objectives for non-human biota within post-closure safety cases for radioactive waste repositories (2013)
Journal Article
Jackson, D., Smith, K., & Wood, M. (2013). Demonstrating compliance with protection objectives for non-human biota within post-closure safety cases for radioactive waste repositories. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 133, 60-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2013.07.005

Over recent years, a number of approaches have been developed that enable the calculation of dose rates to animals and plants following the release of radioactivity to the environment. These approaches can be used to assess the potential impacts of a...

A bistatic sodar for precision wind profiling in complex terrain (2013)
Journal Article
Bradley, S., von Hünerbein, S., & Mikkelsen, T. (2013). A bistatic sodar for precision wind profiling in complex terrain. Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 29(8), 1052-1061. https://doi.org/10.1175/JTECH-D-11-00035.1

A new ground-based wind profiling technology—a scanned bistatic sodar—is described. The motivation for this design is to obtain a “mastlike” wind vector profile in a single atmospheric column extending from the ground to heights of more than 200 m. T...

Despite an emerging literature on guerrilla gardening as a political practice in public spaces, with few exceptions, these accounts theorise it as working against many corporate and bureaucratic forms of power. Using the example of ‘F Troop’—a group... Read More about Observing guerrillas in the wild : reinterpreting practices of urban guerrilla gardening.
