The effects of 2′,5′-di(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (TBQ) on calcium handling in rat ventricular myocytes (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

2′,5′-di(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (TBQ) is a reversible inhibitor of SERCA, potentially making it a useful tool to study the effects of SERCA inhibition. It has been used in a variety of cell types including ventricular myocytes (1). However...

Invading and expanding : range dynamics and ecological consequences of the Greater White-Toothed Shrew (Crocidura russula) invasion in Ireland (2014)
Journal Article

Establishing how invasive species impact upon pre-existing species is a fundamental question in ecology and conservation
biology. The greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is an invasive species in Ireland that was first recorded in 2007... Read More about Invading and expanding : range dynamics and ecological consequences of the Greater White-Toothed Shrew (Crocidura russula) invasion in Ireland.

On abduction in design (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Kroll, E., & Koskela, L. (2014, June). On abduction in design. Presented at Sixth International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition (DCC'14), London

The mechanism of design reasoning from function to form is addressed by examining the possibility of explaining it as abduction. We propose a new interpretation to some definitions of innovative abduction, to show first that the concept, idea, as the... Read More about On abduction in design.

Direct measurements of SR free Ca reveal the mechanism underlying the transient effects of RyR potentiation under physiological conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Greensmith, D., Galli, G., Trafford, A., & Eisner, D. (2014). Direct measurements of SR free Ca reveal the mechanism underlying the transient effects of RyR potentiation under physiological conditions. Cardiovascular Research, 103(4), 554-563. https://doi.org/10.1093/cvr/cvu158

AIMS: Most of the calcium that activates contraction is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through the ryanodine receptor (RyR). It is controversial whether activators of the RyR produce a maintained increase in the amplitude of the systol...

Species undersampling in tropical bat surveys : effects on emerging biodiversity patterns (2014)
Journal Article

Summary:

Undersampling is commonplace in biodiversity surveys of species-rich tropical assemblages in which rare taxa abound, with possible repercussions for our ability to implement surveys and monitoring programmes in a cost-effective way.

We... Read More about Species undersampling in tropical bat surveys : effects on emerging biodiversity patterns.
