Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship? (2006)
Journal Article
Carroll, W. D., Lenney, W., Child, F., Strange, R. C., Jones, P. W., Whyte, M. K., …Fryer, A. A. (2006). Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship?. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 91(5), 405 - 409. https://doi.org/10.1136/adc.2005.088278

BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma severity and atopy is complex. Many studies have failed to show significant relationships between clinical severity or lung function and markers of atopic sensitisation. AIM: To determine whether increasing...

Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system (2006)
Journal Article
Chari, D. M., Zhao, C., Kotter, M. R., Blakemore, W. F., & Franklin, R. J. (2006). Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system. Journal of Neuroscience Research, 83(4), 594-605. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.20763

High dose corticosteroid (CS) administration is a common mode of therapy in treatment of acute relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) but the effects of CS on remyelination and the cellular mechanisms mediating this repair process are controversial. We... Read More about Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system.

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) transplantation is unlikely to offer a means of preventing X-irradiation induced damage in the CNS (2006)
Journal Article
Chari, D. M., Gilson, J. M., Franklin, R. J., & Blakemore, W. F. (2006). Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) transplantation is unlikely to offer a means of preventing X-irradiation induced damage in the CNS. Experimental Neurology, 198(1), 145-153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expneurol.2005.11.023

Oligodendrocyte lineage cells [oligodendrocytes and their parent cells, the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)] are depleted by X-irradiation and progenitor cell transplantation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to counteract radiation...

Practice development and action learning (2006)
Journal Article
(2006). Practice development and action learning. Practice Development in Health Care, 24-32. https://doi.org/10.1002/pdh.28

This article seeks to explore the potentially fruitful connections between practice development and the approach to personal and organizational development known as action learning. Action learning is defined as: a method for individual and organizat... Read More about Practice development and action learning.

Unity, Diversity and the Fragmentation of International Law: How Much Does the Multiplication of International Organizations Really Matter? (2006)
Journal Article
Prost, M., & Clark, P. K. (2006). Unity, Diversity and the Fragmentation of International Law: How Much Does the Multiplication of International Organizations Really Matter?. Chinese Journal of International Law, 5(2), 341-370. https://doi.org/10.1093/chinesejil/jml022

It seems to be presumed by many that the simple multiplication of international organizations (IOs) weakens the unity and integrity of international law. There is, in reality, nothing obvious in this assumption. First, there needs to be evidence of d...

INTRODUCTION: The associations between the immatures of Anopheles gambiae s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae), its M and S forms, and Anopheles arabiensis among and within larval breeding habitats in Banambani, Mali were investigated under varying conditions o...

A Feeling for History? Bakhtin and `The Problem of Great Time' (2006)
Journal Article
(2006). A Feeling for History? Bakhtin and `The Problem of Great Time'

‘Great time’ has usually been seen as a ‘late term’ of Bakhtin’s. However, although it occurs most frequently in works written in the 1960s and 1970s, there is one known instance of its use in the 1940s. This confirms the close association between th...

Analysing co-evolution among artificial 3D creatures (2006)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2006). Analysing co-evolution among artificial 3D creatures. In Lecture Notes in Computer Science (167 -178)

This paper is concerned with the analysis of coevolutionary dynamics among 3D artificial creatures, similar to those introduced by Sims (1). Coevolution is subject to complex dynamics which are notoriously difficult to analyse. We introduce an improv... Read More about Analysing co-evolution among artificial 3D creatures.
