Impaired β-adrenergic responsiveness accentuates dysfunctional excitation-contraction coupling in an ovine model of tachypacing-induced heart failure (2011)
Journal Article

Reduced inotropic responsiveness is characteristic of heart failure (HF). This study determined the cellular Ca2+ homeostatic and molecular mechanisms causing the blunted β-adrenergic (β-AR) response in HF.We induced HF by tachypacing in sheep; intra...

Fabrication approaches for metallo-dielectric nanolasers (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Metallo-dielectric lasers fabricated using different bonding techniques are discussed. Lasing at cryogenic and room temperatures is demonstrated.

Near-field measurement of amplitude and phase in silicon waveguides with liquid cladding (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work demonstrates a technique that allows optical near-field characterization of devices while preserving their optical properties. To do so, a liquid overcladding is introduced to emulate the actual overcladding of the final operational device...

UK-wide support infrastructure for low frequency noise sufferers ('LFN Network') (2011)
Report
Moorhouse, A., Baguley, D., & Husband, T. (2011). UK-wide support infrastructure for low frequency noise sufferers ('LFN Network')

The project was set up to meet a need for improved treatment of Low Frequency Noise (LFN) complaints in cases where no noise source could be found. Such cases can be highly distressing for the complainant and difficult to handle by the Environmental...

In recent years, the expansion of the internet has influenced all aspect of our lives. Trust is an important factor making business transactions possible. In a conventional setting this trust is based on all involved parties knowing each other. Howev... Read More about Toward a functional ontology of reputation for e-commerce.

Accounting for detectability improves estimates of species richness in tropical bat surveys (2011)
Journal Article

Summary


1. Species richness is a state variable of some interest in monitoring programmes but raw species counts are often biased due to imperfect species detectability. Therefore, monitoring programmes should quantify detectability for target t... Read More about Accounting for detectability improves estimates of species richness in tropical bat surveys.

p73: a multifunctional protein in neurobiology (2011)
Journal Article

p73, a transcription factor of the p53 family, plays a key role in many biological processes including neuronal development. Indeed, mice deficient for both TAp73 and ΔNp73 isoforms display neuronal pathologies, including hydrocephalus and hippocampa... Read More about p73: a multifunctional protein in neurobiology.
