Characterization of a K<inf>ATP</inf> channel-independent pathway involved in potentiation of insulin secretion by efaroxan (2001)
Journal Article
Chan, S. L., Mourtada, M., & Morgan, N. G. (2001). Characterization of a KATP channel-independent pathway involved in potentiation of insulin secretion by efaroxan. Diabetes, 50(2), 340–347. https://doi.org/10.2337/diabetes.50.2.340

Efaroxan, like several other imidazoline reagents, elicits a glucose-dependent increase in insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. This response has been attributed to efaroxan-mediated blockade of KATP channels, with the subsequent gating of volt...

Migration and Masquerade: Gender and Habitus in the Philippines. (2001)
Journal Article
McKay. (2001). Migration and Masquerade: Gender and Habitus in the Philippines

Globalization recreates translocalities from what were previously imagined as isolated, peripheral communities. In the Philippines, a remote indigenous community incorporates new practices of gender brought by female circular migrants from urban 'abr...

Motion of the shank in the transverse plane is coupled with pronation and supination of the rearfoot, and so its motion relative to the foot can be used as an indicator of the pattern of motion in the rearfoot. Compared to the more commonly used asse... Read More about Shank rotation: A measure of rearfoot motion during normal walking..

The relationship between transverse plane leg rotation and transverse plane motion at the knee and hip during normal walking. (2000)

The purpose of this study was to test the clinical hypothesis that the magnitude and temporal characteristics of rearfoot complex motion are closely correlated with those of the transverse plane motion at the knee and hip. Twenty subjects underwent k... Read More about The relationship between transverse plane leg rotation and transverse plane motion at the knee and hip during normal walking..

Juvenile dispersal in Reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus at night (2000)

The aim of this study was to test whether juvenile dispersal in Reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus takes place at night. If this does occur then the questions arise: “in which part of the night, at what age and physiological condition do they disp...

Invasion of the 'body snatchers': burglary reconsidered (2000)
Journal Article

The victim of crime has become the focus of increasing concern in recent years, particularly in the context of the impact crime has on its victims. This article takes a novel approach within this debate contending that the conceptualization of victim... Read More about Invasion of the 'body snatchers': burglary reconsidered.

Kauders sets out to examine three interrelated topics: the nature of antisemitism after the Second World War; the continuity in thinking about the Jews in the twentieth century; and the problem of responsibility inherent in any analysis of the events...

Channon. (2000). Towards the evolutionary emergence of increasingly complex advantageous behaviours. International Journal of Systems Science, 843 -860. https://doi.org/10.1080/002077200406570

The generation of complex entities with advantageous behaviours beyond our manual design capability requires long-term incremental evolution with continuing emergence. In this paper, we argue that artificial selection models, such as traditional gene... Read More about Towards the evolutionary emergence of increasingly complex advantageous behaviours.
