An MVA-based vaccine targeting the oncofetal antigen 5T4 in patients undergoing surgical resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases
Journal Article
Elkord, E., Dangoor, A., Drury, N., Harrop, R., Burt, D., Drijfhout, J., …Stern, P. An MVA-based vaccine targeting the oncofetal antigen 5T4 in patients undergoing surgical resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases. Journal of Immunotherapy, 31(9), 820-829

We investigated the use of a therapeutic vaccine, TroVax in patients undergoing surgical resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases. Systemic immunity generated by vaccination before and after resection of metastases was measured in addition to...

Differential diagnosis of Triaenophorus crassus and T. nodulosus experimental infection in Cyclops abyssorum praealpinus (Copepoda) from the Alpine Lake Grundlsee (Austria) using PCR–RFLP
Journal Article
Grundlsee (Austria) using PCR–RFLP. Parasitology Research, 109(3), 745-750. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-011-2317-4

In 2005, an epidemic of the cestode Triaenophorus crassus in Arctic charr, Salvelinus umbla from Lake Grundlsee (Austria) was reported, resulting in the closure of the local fisheries. The parasite uses a copepod and a salmonid fish as intermedia...

Understanding urban futures: Between science and science fiction
Journal Article
Marvin, S. Understanding urban futures: Between science and science fiction. foresight, 2(6), 453-470

Over the last five years, governments, think-tanks and public alike have re-focused their minds on the future development of British cities. Why are such diverse social organizations producing visions of urban futures? What kinds of techniques and to... Read More about Understanding urban futures: Between science and science fiction.

Constructing sustainable urban futures: from models to competing pathways, impact assessment and project appraisal
Journal Article
Guy, S., & Marvin, S. Constructing sustainable urban futures: from models to competing pathways, impact assessment and project appraisal. Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal, 19(2), 131-139. https://doi.org/10.3152/147154601781767113

This paper begins to build a conceptual framework that acknowledges the multiplicity of pathways towards different sustainable futures that often co-exist within a single city. There are three stages to the argument: the shift from the concept of a s...

Developing Urban and Regional Foresight: Exploring Capacities and Identifying Needs in the North West
Journal Article
Puglisi, M., & Marvin, S. Developing Urban and Regional Foresight: Exploring Capacities and Identifying Needs in the North West. Futures, 34, 761-777. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0016-3287%2802%2900019-8

Recent changes in the context for English governance are creating new opportunities for futures thinking at urban and regional level. Drawing on a study of key stakeholders concerned with urban and regional development, this paper presents an analysi...

Negotiating contested visions and place-specific expectations of the hydrogen economy
Journal Article
Eames, M., Mcdowall, W., Hodson, M., & Marvin, S. Negotiating contested visions and place-specific expectations of the hydrogen economy. Technology Analysis and Strategic Management, 18(3-4), 361-374. https://doi.org/10.1080/09537320600777127

This paper explores the role of the `hydrogen economy' as a guiding vision encompassing multiple contested technological futures, value judgements and problem framings. Hydrogen visions draw upon six overarching and competing narrative themes: power... Read More about Negotiating contested visions and place-specific expectations of the hydrogen economy.

Comparison of constructed reed beds with different filter media treating simulated mine drainage water
Journal Article
Scholz, M., & Wu, J. Comparison of constructed reed beds with different filter media treating simulated mine drainage water. Ecological Engineering, 18(3), 385-390. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-8574%2801%2900100-8

The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment efficiency of passive vertical-flow constructed wetland filters containing different macrophytes (Phragmites and/or Typha) and granular media with different adsorption capacities. Different conce... Read More about Comparison of constructed reed beds with different filter media treating simulated mine drainage water.

Close following behavior: Testing visual angle car following models using various sets of data
Journal Article
Yousif, S., & Al-Obaedi, J. Close following behavior: Testing visual angle car following models using various sets of data. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 14(2), 96-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2010.11.001

Visual angle car following models have previously been proposed in modeling drivers’ “close following” behavior particularly in traffic simulation models. These models use relative speeds and relative spacings between successive vehicles, but they ar...

The archaeology of industrialisation and the textile industry: the example of Manchester and the south-western pennine uplands during the 18th century (part 1)
Journal Article
Nevell, M. The archaeology of industrialisation and the textile industry: the example of Manchester and the south-western pennine uplands during the 18th century (part 1). Industrial Archaeology Review, 30(1), 33-48. https://doi.org/10.1179/174581908X285110

Between the early 18th century and the mid-19th century the north-west of England was turned from a relatively impoverished backwater to one of the major industrialisation zones in the world. This is thus a key region fopr understanding the archaeolo...

Determination of hyperfine field distributions in amorphous magnets
Journal Article
amorphous magnets. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 18, 7751-7759. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/18/32/022

We present an overview of two leading methods of determining probability distributions from M¨ossbauer spectra, using the model amorphous magnet Fe80B20. A comparison is made between the maximum-entropy method, which permits analysis using truly a... Read More about Determination of hyperfine field distributions in amorphous magnets.
