The microRNA and p53 families join forces against cancer (2010)
Journal Article
Barlev, N., Sayan, B., Candi, E., & Okorokov, A. (2010). The microRNA and p53 families join forces against cancer. Cell Death and Differentiation, 17, 373-375. https://doi.org/10.1038/cdd.2009.73

The product of the TP53 gene, p53, is one of the most recognised and extensively studied molecules that protects multicellular organisms from cancer. The well-deserved fame of p53 stems from the nature of its function – to coordinate an appropriate c... Read More about The microRNA and p53 families join forces against cancer.

Testing visual angle car following models using different sets of data (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Obaedi, J., & Yousif, S. (2010, January). Testing visual angle car following models using different sets of data. Presented at Universities Transport Studies Group - 42nd Conference, University of Plymouth

The basic assumption in visual angle car following models is that the following distance between successive vehicles is a function of the object (i.e. leading vehicle) width. This paper examines the validity of this assumption using two types of dat... Read More about Testing visual angle car following models using different sets of data.

Journal Article
Perry, B., & May, T. (2010). Taking urban knowledge exchange seriously: devilish dichotomies and active intermediation. International Journal of Knowledge-Based Development, 1(1-2), 6-24

Knowledge exchange and innovation have a strong local dimension and require face-to-face relationships and collaborations between universities, industries and governments. Cities are turning to the knowledge base to enhance their own socio-economic d... Read More about Taking urban knowledge exchange seriously: devilish dichotomies and active intermediation.
