Meeting basic needs? Forced migrants and welfare (2005)
Journal Article
Dwyer, P., & Brown, D. (2005). Meeting basic needs? Forced migrants and welfare. Social Policy and Society, 4(4), 369-380. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1474746405002538

As the number of forced migrants entering Britain has risen, increasingly restrictive immigration and asylum policy has been introduced. Simultaneously, successive governments have sought to limit the welfare entitlements of forced migrants. Drawin... Read More about Meeting basic needs? Forced migrants and welfare.

An empirical basis for route choice in cycling (2005)
Journal Article
Scarf, P., & Grehan, P. (2005). An empirical basis for route choice in cycling. Journal of Sports Sciences, 23(9), 919-925. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640410400023282

We used data from international cycle stage races to examine a rule for cyclists that is similar to Naismith’s rule. Naismith’s rule is used by walkers to estimate travel times for routes involving climb (i.e. the vertical distance component of a ro...

Potential role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase in regulating inflammation (2005)
Journal Article
Mabley, J., Pacher, P., Deb, A., Wallace, R., Elder, R., & Szabó, C. (2005). Potential role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase in regulating inflammation. FASEB Journal, 19(2), 290-2. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.04-2278fje

OGG-1 DNA glycosylase (OGG-1) is an enzyme involved in DNA repair. It excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, which is formed by oxidative damage of guanine. We have investigated the role of OGG-1 in inflammation using three models of inflammation: endotox... Read More about Potential role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase in regulating inflammation.

Modelling match outcomes and decision support for setting a final innings target in test cricket (2005)
Journal Article
Scarf, P., & Shi, X. (2005). Modelling match outcomes and decision support for setting a final innings target in test cricket. IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, 16(2), 161-178. https://doi.org/10.1093/imaman/dpi010

This paper considers the problem of timing the declaration of the third innings in test cricket. Data on the outcomes of recent test matches are analysed in order to develop simple decision support tools. The first of these tools presents match out...
