Journal Article
(2004). The Knee Clinical Assessment Study--CAS(K). A prospective study of knee pain and knee osteoarthritis in the general population. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 4 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-5-4

BACKGROUND: Knee pain affects an estimated 25% of the adult population aged 50 years and over. Osteoarthritis is the most common diagnosis made in older adults consulting with knee pain in primary care. However, the relationship between this diagnosi...

Some updates on the role of magnetic fields in cataclysmic variables (2004)
Journal Article
Hellier, C. (2004). Some updates on the role of magnetic fields in cataclysmic variables

In this review talk I cover some recent developments in understanding the role that magnetic fields play in cataclysmic variables. I discuss the recent DNO--QPO unification models; the disk--magnetosphere boundary; some issues concerning the soft bla...

An L'-band survey for circumstellar discs around low-mass stars in the young σ Orionis cluster (2004)
Journal Article
Jeffries, R., Oliveira, J., & Van Loon, J. (2004). An L'-band survey for circumstellar discs around low-mass stars in the young σ Orionis cluster. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 347(4), 1327 -1336. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.07315.x

We present new K- and L'-band imaging of a representative sample of members of the young 3-5 Myr old sigma Orionis cluster. We identified objects with (K-L') excess by analysing colour-colour diagrams and comparing the observations with empirical mai...

Focusing on the West European parties of the extreme right, this article considers the validity of the claim that proportional electoral systems promote political extremism. After a systematic, empirical examination of the relationship between electo... Read More about Does PR promote political extremism? Evidence from the West European parties of the extreme right1.

BACKGROUND: The clinical syndrome of joint pain and stiffness in older people is the commonest cause of disability and health care consultation in this age group. Yet there have been few prospective studies of its course over time and its impact on p...

Covert repertoires: ecotage in the UK (2004)
Journal Article
Doherty. (2004). Covert repertoires: ecotage in the UK. Social Movement Studies, 199 - 220. https://doi.org/10.1080/1474283042000266128

Ecological sabotage (ecotage) has been a feature of the more radical parts of the environmental movement in the Western world for several decades. While it may be perceived as being the preserve of underground cells of 'eco-terrorists', in the UK tho... Read More about Covert repertoires: ecotage in the UK.

Evidence for a male-produced sex pheromone in the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (2004)
Journal Article
(2004). Evidence for a male-produced sex pheromone in the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Journal of Chemical Ecology, 167 -174. https://doi.org/10.1023/B%3AJOEC.0000013189.89576.8f

Olfactometer bioassays of walking adult western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) showed that virgin females (1- to 3-d postemergence) were attracted to the odor of 25 adult males, but not to the odor of 25...

An evaluation of a multidisciplinary team for intermediate care at home. (2004)
Journal Article
(2004). An evaluation of a multidisciplinary team for intermediate care at home. International Journal of Integrated Care, e02 - ?

BACKGROUND: The implementation of the National Health Service Plan for the UK will see an expansion of services for intermediate care. Such services are usually targeted at older people and aim to: prevent 'avoidable' admissions to acute inpatient ca...

Transverse plane motion at the ankle joint. (2003)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Findlow, A., Bowker, P., & Bowden, P. (2003). Transverse plane motion at the ankle joint. Foot and Ankle International, 24, 164--168. https://doi.org/10.1177/107110070302400211

The ankle is often considered to have little or no capacity to move in the transverse plane. This is clear in the persistent concept that it is the role of the subtalar joint to accommodate the transverse plane motion of the leg while the foot remain...

The problem with measuring patient perceptions of outcome with existing outcome measures in foot and ankle surgery. (2003)
Journal Article

Quality outcome measures are the cornerstone of clinical research. A review of outcome measures used in foot and ankle surgery research reveals that the issues of validity, reliability and responsiveness of outcome measures have not been addressed. M...

Despite their wide clinical application and success, our understanding of the biomechanical effects of foot orthoses is relatively limited. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of medially wedged and laterally wedged foot orthoses on the ki...

Fe M2,3 X-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity on epitaxial Fe3−δO4 thin films (2003)
Journal Article
Telling, N., Haznar, A., van der Laan, G., Roper, M., Schedin, F., & Thornton, G. (2004). Fe M2,3 X-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity on epitaxial Fe3−δO4 thin films. Physica B: Condensed Matter, 345(1-4), 157-160. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physb.2003.11.044

We report the use of soft X-ray resonant reflectivity at the Fe M2,3 edges to probe the magnetic circular dichroism of non-stoichiometric Fe3−δO4 thin films grown epitaxially on Al2O3. Photon energy scans of the magnetic dichroism display features th... Read More about Fe M2,3 X-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity on epitaxial Fe3−δO4 thin films.
