T cell-based immunotherapy of metastatic renal cell carcinoma: modest success and future perspective. (2009)
Journal Article
Shablak, A., Hawkins, R., Rothwell, D., & Elkord, E. (2009). T cell-based immunotherapy of metastatic renal cell carcinoma: modest success and future perspective. Clinical Cancer Research, 15(21), 6503-6510. https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-09-1605

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) remains a challenging malignancy to treat. Cancer immunotherapies have been extensively explored in melanoma and RCC as they poorly respond to conventional cytotoxic agents but show responses to a variety of imm...

Effect of boundary slip on the acoustical properties of microfibrous materials (2009)
Journal Article
Umnova, O., Tsiklauri, D., & Venegas Castillo, R. (2009). Effect of boundary slip on the acoustical properties of microfibrous materials. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 126(4), 1850-1861. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3204087

A variety of new porous materials with unusually small pores have been manufactured in the past decades. To predict their acoustical properties, the conventional models need to be modified. When pore size becomes comparable to the molecular mean free... Read More about Effect of boundary slip on the acoustical properties of microfibrous materials.

Performing fandom on the British Northern soul scene : competition, identity and the post-subcultural self (2009)
Thesis
Smith, N. Performing fandom on the British Northern soul scene : competition, identity and the post-subcultural self. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Northern Soul scene involves the direct acquisition of rare, obscure 1960s black American soul records and the relocation of this music into an alien locality. The records - often poor emulations of the Motown sound - were disregarded, and subseq...

Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female (2009)
Journal Article
Isaac, R., Li, C., Leedale, A., & Shirras, A. (2009). Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 277(1678), 65-70. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2009.1236

Quiescence, or a sleep-like state, is a common and important feature of the daily lives of animals from both invertebrate and vertebrate taxa, suggesting that sleep appeared early in animal evolution. Recently, Drosophila melanogaster has been shown... Read More about Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female.
