Flexible incubation rhythm in northern fulmars: a comparison between oceanographic zones (2008)
Journal Article
Mallory, M. L., Gaston, A. J., Forbes, M. R., Gilchrist, H. G., Cheney, B., Lewis, S., & Thompson, P. M. (2008). Flexible incubation rhythm in northern fulmars: a comparison between oceanographic zones. Marine Biology, 154(6), 1031-1040. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00227-008-0994-z

Variation in the timing and abundance of marine food resources is known to affect the breeding behaviour of many seabirds, constraining our understanding of the extent to which these behaviours vary in different parts of a species' range. We studied... Read More about Flexible incubation rhythm in northern fulmars: a comparison between oceanographic zones.

Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children (2008)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Bruce, V., Chang, H. Y., Plenderleith, Y., McIntyre, A. H., & Hancock, P. J. (2008). Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children. Journal of multimedia, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.4304/jmm.3.1.28-35

We have developed a novel software program
called ‘Predict Your Child’ that, given photographs of
potential parent faces, generates plausible looking children.
The parent photographs are imported into a PCA-based
model of facial appearance to giv... Read More about Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children.

Influence of species diversity on the return of ecosystem functions in replanted mangroves in Kenya (2008)
Thesis
Kirui, B. K. Y. Influence of species diversity on the return of ecosystem functions in replanted mangroves in Kenya. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9236

Rates of loss of biodiversity caused by human action are on the increase worldwide. However implications of species loss on the natures' ability to provide ecosystem services and goods are still poorly understood. Despite providing an array of critic...

An alternative transcript from the death-associated protein kinase 1 locus encoding a small protein selectively mediates membrane blebbing: Functional transcript expressed by DAPK-1 locus (2008)
Journal Article
Lin, Y., Stevens, C., Hrstka, R., Harrison, B., Fourtouna, A., Pathuri, S., Vojtesek, B., & Hupp, T. (2008). An alternative transcript from the death-associated protein kinase 1 locus encoding a small protein selectively mediates membrane blebbing: Functional transcript expressed by DAPK-1 locus. FEBS Journal, 275(10), 2574-2584. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1742-4658.2008.06404.x

Death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK-1) is a multidomain protein kinase with diverse roles in autophagic, apoptotic and survival pathways. Bioinformatic screens were used to identify a small internal mRNA from the DAPK-1 locus (named s-DAPK-1). Th...

Novel insights into DAPK autophagic signalling using peptide aptamer combinatorial protein-interaction screens (2008)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., & Hupp, T. R. (2008). Novel insights into DAPK autophagic signalling using peptide aptamer combinatorial protein-interaction screens. Autophagy, 4(4), 531-533. https://doi.org/10.4161/auto.5940

DAPK represents a relatively unique enzyme in the protein kinase superfamily whose major biological functions are linked to both autophagy and signal-mediated apoptosis. However, genetic studies have not yet uncovered how DAPK integrates into the cor...

Effect of 6-iron club properties on thorax and pelvis rotation at key events of the golf swing (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Betzler, N., Brown, S., Wallace, E. S., Otto, S. R., & Shan, G. (2008, March). Effect of 6-iron club properties on thorax and pelvis rotation at key events of the golf swing. Presented at World Scientific Congress of Golf V

Various previous studies analysed trunk alignment at key events of the golf swing, but in most cases players swung only one type of golf club or clubs from different categories (for example a driver and a 5-iron). However, a better understanding of h... Read More about Effect of 6-iron club properties on thorax and pelvis rotation at key events of the golf swing.
