The epidermis, the outer layer of the skin composed of keratinocytes, develops following the action of the transcription factor p63. The mouse Trp63 gene contains two promoters, driving the production of distinct proteins, one with an N-terminal tran... Read More about p63 is upstream of IKKα in epidermal development.

Sympatric speciation driven by sexual selection by female mate choice on a male trait is a much debated topic. The process is problematic because of the lack of negative frequency-dependent selection that can facilitate the invasion of a novel colour...

Two compact analytical descriptions of Fresnel diffraction patterns from polygonal apertures under uniform illumination are detailed. In particular, a simple expression for the diffracted field from constituent edges is derived. These results have fu...

Interventions to manage trust in construction projects (2006)
Journal Article
Swan, W., Khalfan, M., McDermott, P., & Kyng, E. (2006). Interventions to manage trust in construction projects

Trust is described as an elusive concept, difficult to describe, understand, and therefore manage. The Trust in Construction project undertook five exploratory case studies in order to understand how trust is formed and the impact this has on project...

This paper addresses a partial but powerful view of the hydrogen economy known as 'technology characterisation' (TC). TC offers particular representations of the supply of hydrogen technologies through 'measuring' the 'state of the art'. This view is...

Transport shaping space: the differential collapse of time/space (2006)
Journal Article
Knowles, R. (2006). Transport shaping space: the differential collapse of time/space. Journal of Transport Geography, 14(6), 407-425. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2006.07.001

Although the tyranny of distance has been reduced by cheaper and faster transport, important geographical differences remain. Transport provision varies enormously. Globalization is uneven. Location remains all-important as time/space relationships c... Read More about Transport shaping space: the differential collapse of time/space.
