The influence of internal versus external attributions of crime causality: A comparison between experts, semi-experts and lay-people. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Murray, J., & Thomson, M. E. (2009, May). The influence of internal versus external attributions of crime causality: A comparison between experts, semi-experts and lay-people. Presented at Plymouth Postgraduate Symposium: Building Bridges in Social Science Research

The overarching aim of the present research was to investigate the possible effects of attribution on the decisions made by clinicians in comparison to those made by trainee psychologists and lay-people. A 3x3x2 mixed groups design was implemented,... Read More about The influence of internal versus external attributions of crime causality: A comparison between experts, semi-experts and lay-people..

Journal Article
Ropert-Coudert, Y., Daunt, F., Kato, A., Ryan, P. G., Lewis, S., Kobayashi, K., Mori, Y., Grémillet, D., & Wanless, S. (2009). Underwater wingbeats extend depth and duration of plunge dives in northern gannets Morus bassanus. Journal of Avian Biology, 40(4), 380-387. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-048x.2008.04592.x

Plunge-diving is a specialised hunting tactic used by some avian predators to overcome the high buoyancy encountered near the water surface and surprise prey. However, plunge-diving is effective only to a certain depth; to access deeper prey, birds n...

Autophagy: from basic science to clinical application (2009)
Journal Article
Van Limbergen, J., Stevens, C., Nimmo, E. R., Wilson, D. C., & Satsangi, J. (2009). Autophagy: from basic science to clinical application. Mucosal immunology, 2(4), 315-330. https://doi.org/10.1038/mi.2009.20

Autophagy is a cellular pathway involved in protein and organelle degradation, which is likely to represent an innate adaptation to starvation. In times of nutrient deficiency, the cell can self-digest and recycle some nonessential components through... Read More about Autophagy: from basic science to clinical application.

Inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation by nippostrongylus brasiliensis larvae and excretory-secretory products (es) (2009)
Thesis
Zhao, M. Inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation by nippostrongylus brasiliensis larvae and excretory-secretory products (es). (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2549

Nippostrongylus brasiliensis is a rodent intestinal nematode with an important pulmonary migrating stage. Previous studies have observed a lack of TNF-α production and minimal recruitment of neutrophils, which led us to the belief that anti-inflammat...

Evaluating the uptake, intracellular fate and functional consequences of hepatocyte exposure to a range of nanoparticles, in vitro (2009)
Thesis
Johnston, H. Evaluating the uptake, intracellular fate and functional consequences of hepatocyte exposure to a range of nanoparticles, in vitro. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2548

The liver is recognised as a potential target site for nanoparticle (NP) toxicity, as NPs have been observed to accumulate within this organ subsequent to exposure via injection, inhalation or instillation. The liver’s unique structure has to be take... Read More about Evaluating the uptake, intracellular fate and functional consequences of hepatocyte exposure to a range of nanoparticles, in vitro.

NuMA is required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome alignment in prometaphase (2009)
Journal Article
Haren, L., Gnadt, N., Wright, M., & Merdes, A. (2009). NuMA is required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome alignment in prometaphase. BMC Research Notes, 2, Article 64. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-0500-2-64

NuMA is a protein that has been previously shown to play a role in focusing microtubules at the mitotic spindle poles. However, most previous work relies on experimental methods that might cause dominant side effects on spindle formation, such as mic...

Chlamydophila abortus is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium that causes infectious abortion in sheep (ovine enzootic abortion, OEA) and humans. Infected placentas recovered from sheep that experience OEA have thickened membranes, contai...

Sensational interests are not a simple predictor of adolescent offending: Evidence from a large normal British sample (2009)
Journal Article

Anecdote and samples from extreme populations suggest military interests and ‘esoteric’ or Gothic interests (collectively referred to as sensational interests) are a predictor of offending. We examined such interests and offending in a large sample o... Read More about Sensational interests are not a simple predictor of adolescent offending: Evidence from a large normal British sample.

A new approach to visualize ecosystem health by using parasites (2009)
