Narrating significant experience: reflective accounts and the production of (self) knowledge (2006)
Journal Article
Taylor, C. (2006). Narrating significant experience: reflective accounts and the production of (self) knowledge. British Journal of Social Work, 36(2), 189-206. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjsw/bch269

Notwithstanding the rise of evidence-based practice, other tendencies within social work scholarship are also discernible. One of these is the study of the everyday, routine accomplishment of practice, drawing on microsociological methods and techniq...

A major change in human evolution (2006)
Journal Article
Nevell, M. (2006). A major change in human evolution. British Archaeology, 30-33

The phrase 'industrial archaeology' is over 50 years old. Technology? Social relations? The world since the industrial revolution, or industry since the first stone tool? This article considers the nature of an increasingly popular branch of archaeol... Read More about A major change in human evolution.

Defining spatial parameters for non-linear walking (2006)
Journal Article
Huxham, F., Gong, J., Baker, R., Morris, M., & Iansek, R. (2006). Defining spatial parameters for non-linear walking. Gait & Posture, 23(2), 159-163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2005.01.001

Current definitions of the spatial and temporal parameters of gait have been based on the premise that walking occurs in a straight line. When the direction of progression (DoP) is not consistent and walking is non-linear, these definitions do not pr... Read More about Defining spatial parameters for non-linear walking.

Transgenic plants for insect pest control: a forward looking scientific perspective (2006)
Journal Article
Ferry, N., Edwards, M., Gatehouse, J., Capell, T., Christou, P., & Gatehouse, A. (2006). Transgenic plants for insect pest control: a forward looking scientific perspective. Transgenic Research, 15(1), 13-9. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11248-005-4803-x

One of the first successes of plant biotechnology has been the creation and commercialisation of transgenic crops exhibiting resistance to major insect pests. First generation products encompassed plants with single insecticidal Bt genes with resista... Read More about Transgenic plants for insect pest control: a forward looking scientific perspective.

A flexible infrastructure for delivering augmented reality enabled transcranial magnetic stimulation (2006)
Journal Article
Hughes, C., & John, N. (2006). A flexible infrastructure for delivering augmented reality enabled transcranial magnetic stimulation

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the process in which electrical activity in the brain is influenced by a pulsed magnetic field. Common practice is to align an electromagnetic coil with points of interest identified on the surface of the br...

Behavioural and neurochemical responses evoked by repeated exposure to an elevated open platform (2006)
Journal Article
Storey, J., Robertson, D., Beattie, J., Reid, I., Mitchell, S., & Balfour, D. (2006). Behavioural and neurochemical responses evoked by repeated exposure to an elevated open platform. Behavioural Brain Research, 166(2), 220-229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2005.08.002

Increased psychophysiological resistance to chronic stress has been related to increased 5-HT release in the dorsal hippocampus. This study investigated the changes in 5-HT release and turnover in the hippocampus evoked by acute and repeated exposure...

The reproducibility of measurements of inspiratory work capacity in cystic fibrosis patients (2006)
Journal Article
Enright, S., Unnithan, V., & Davies, D. (2006). The reproducibility of measurements of inspiratory work capacity in cystic fibrosis patients. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resp.2005.02.012

The evaluation of respiratory muscle endurance (RME) is regarded as being clinically relevant to the assessment of respiratory muscle function. The reproducibility of a non-invasive measure of assessing RME was determined by measuring inspiratory wor...

Sediment stratigraphy and heavy metal fluxes to reservoirs in the southern Pennines uplands, UK. (2006)
Journal Article
Shotbolt, L., Hutchinson, S., & Thomas, A. (2006). Sediment stratigraphy and heavy metal fluxes to reservoirs in the southern Pennines uplands, UK. Journal of Paleolimnology, 35(2), 305-322. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-005-1594-2

Reservoir sediments are rarely used as environmental archives because of the potential for sediment disturbance by fluctuating water levels. However, rapid rates of sedimentation, proximity to urban centres and often the existence of management recor...

Marsupials from space: fluctuating asymmetry, geographical information systems and animal conservation (2006)
Journal Article
Teixeira, C., Hirsch, A., Perini, H., & Young, R. (2006). Marsupials from space: fluctuating asymmetry, geographical information systems and animal conservation. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1589), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2005.3386

We report the development of a new quantitative method of assessing the effects of anthropogenic impacts on living beings; this method allows us to assess actual impacts and to travel backwards in time to assess impacts. In this method, we have cross... Read More about Marsupials from space: fluctuating asymmetry, geographical information systems and animal conservation.
