In the UK, there has been a re-awakening of interest in the ‘co-production’ approach to involve service users in modernised public services. Within this context, Sure Start Children's Centres are being created to address child poverty and social excl...

The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants (2008)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2008). The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants. PloS one, e3838 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0003838

It is unclear why some species become successful invaders whilst others fail, and whether invasive success depends on pre-adaptations already present in the native range or on characters evolving de-novo after introduction. Ants are among the worst i... Read More about The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants.

Nucleosynthesis simulations for a wide range of nuclear production sites from NuGrid (2008)
Journal Article

Simulations of nucleosynthesis in astrophysical environments are at the intersection of nuclear physics reaction rate research and astrophysical applications, for example in the area of galactic chemical evolution or near-field cosmology. Unfortunate... Read More about Nucleosynthesis simulations for a wide range of nuclear production sites from NuGrid.

NuGrid: s process in massive stars (2008)
Journal Article
Frischknecht, U., Thielemann, F., -K. Thielemann, F., Pignatari, M., Bennett, M., Diehl, S., …Hirschi, R. NuGrid: s process in massive stars. Manuscript submitted for publication

The s-process production in massive stars at very low metallicities is expected to be negligible due to the low abundance of the neutron source 22Ne, to primary neutron poisons and decreasing iron seed abundances. However, recent models of massive st... Read More about NuGrid: s process in massive stars.

Correlation of Tethyan and Peri-Tethyan long-term and high-frequency eustatic signals (Anisian, Middle Triassic) (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). Correlation of Tethyan and Peri-Tethyan long-term and high-frequency eustatic signals (Anisian, Middle Triassic). Geologica Carpathica, 307 - 317

During Anisian times, broad ramp systems developed on the northwestern Tethys shelf and in the adjacent Peri-Tethyan realm. In both paleogeographical settings carbonate series display characteristic cyclic patterns, reflecting long-term and high-freq...

Social Inclusion and the `Get Heard' Process Implications for the Horizontal and Vertical Integration of Governance and Policy in the UK (2008)
Journal Article

Since 1997, there has arguably been a 'rediscovery' of those most at risk of poverty and social exclusion by New Labour. Within this context, it is important to consider the European, national and sub-national policy frameworks within which intervent...

BACKGROUND: The invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, is the most recently detected pest ant and the first known invasive ant able to become established and thrive in the temperate regions of Eurasia. In this study, we aim to reconstruct the invasio... Read More about The introduction history of invasive garden ants in Europe: integrating genetic, chemical and behavioural approaches.

Isotopic evidences for microbiologically mediated and direct C input to soil compounds from three different leaf litters during their decomposition (2008)

We show the potentiality of coupling together different compound-specific isotopic analyses in a laboratory experiment, where 13C-depleted leaf litter was incubated on a 13C-enriched soil. The aim of our study was to identify the soil compounds where...
