Lake and catchment response to Holocene environmental change: spatial variability along a climate gradient in southwest Greenland (2012)
Journal Article
Law, A. (2012). Lake and catchment response to Holocene environmental change: spatial variability along a climate gradient in southwest Greenland. Journal of Paleolimnology, 209 - 222. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-012-9616-3

The Kangerlussuaq area of southwest Greenland is a lake-rich landscape that covers a climate gradient: a more maritime, cooler and wetter coastal zone contrasts with a dry, continental interior. Radiocarbon-dated sediment sequences (covering ~11,200–...

Divalent metals and pH alter raltegravir disposition in vitro (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Divalent metals and pH alter raltegravir disposition in vitro. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 3020-3026. https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.06407-11

Raltegravir shows marked pharmacokinetic variability in patients, with gastrointestinal pH and divalent-metal binding being potential factors. We investigated raltegravir solubility, lipophilicity, pKa, and permeativity in vitro to elucidate known in... Read More about Divalent metals and pH alter raltegravir disposition in vitro.

Reasonable force: the emergence of global policing power (2012)
Journal Article
RYAN, B. J. (2013). Reasonable force: the emergence of global policing power. Review of International Studies, 39(2), 435-457. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0260210512000137

This paper introduces reasonable force as ontological to the performance of late modern police power. It argues that policing emerged through reasonable force as an innovation of military power and as a supplement to legal power. The paper tracks the...

Atmospheric CO2 over the last 1000 years: A high-resolution record from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Atmospheric CO2 over the last 1000 years: A high-resolution record from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core. Global Biogeochemical Cycles, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011GB004247

We report a decadally resolved record of atmospheric CO2 concentration for the last 1000 years, obtained from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide shallow ice core. The most prominent feature of the pre-industrial period is a rapid ~7 ppm decre...

Team attributes and performance of operational service teams: An empirical taxonomy development (2012)
Journal Article
Lee, P. K., To, W., & Yu, B. T. (2013). Team attributes and performance of operational service teams: An empirical taxonomy development. International Journal of Production Economics, 142(1), 51-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpe.2012.05.005

Teams have been regarded as an integral element of a number of operations management (OM) strategies and many of their related concepts such as group dynamics and people issues are considered important for knowledge of behavioral operations. In pract... Read More about Team attributes and performance of operational service teams: An empirical taxonomy development.

Spectrum Analysis of Bright Kepler Gamma Doradus Candidate Stars (2012)
Journal Article
Tkachenko, A., Lehmann, H., Smalley, B., Debosscher, J., & Aerts, C. (2012). Spectrum Analysis of Bright Kepler Gamma Doradus Candidate Stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 422(4), 2960–2968. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20687.x

Ground-based spectroscopic follow-up observations of the pulsating stars observed by the Kepler satellite mission are needed for their asteroseismic modelling. We aim to derive the fundamental parameters for a sample of 26 Gamma Doradus candidate sta... Read More about Spectrum Analysis of Bright Kepler Gamma Doradus Candidate Stars.

New Forms of Sub-regional Governance and Implications for Rural Areas: Evidence from England (2012)
Journal Article
Pemberton, S., & Shaw, D. (2012). New Forms of Sub-regional Governance and Implications for Rural Areas: Evidence from England. Planning Practice and Research, 441-458. https://doi.org/10.1080/02697459.2012.682476

Across Europe, and beyond, there have been shifts towards reducing state intervention in ‘middle range’ governance spaces, such as regions, and attempts to devolve decision making to the most appropriate (local) level. Consequently, sub-regional scal... Read More about New Forms of Sub-regional Governance and Implications for Rural Areas: Evidence from England.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived from bone marrow can potentially reduce the acute inflammatory response in spinal cord injury (SCI) and thus promote functional recovery. However, the precise mechanisms through which transplanted MSC attenuate in...

We tested whether knowing more about an area where a humanitarian disaster happened would increase willingness to donate to its victims. Knowledge was proposed to have a positive impact on donation proclivity, mediated by greater identification with...
