Journal of Applied Physiology, 112, 1353-1360. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.01080.2011

This study aimed to determine whether 2 wk of high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) altered inflammatory status in plasma and adipose tissue in overweight and obese males. Twelve participants [mean (SD): age 23.7 (5.2) yr, body mass 91.0 (8.0)...

Effects of species richness, identity and environmental variables on growth in planted mangroves in Kenya (2012)
Journal Article
Kirui, B. K. Y., Kairo, J. G., Skov, M. W., Mencuccini, M., & Huxham, M. (2012). Effects of species richness, identity and environmental variables on growth in planted mangroves in Kenya. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 465, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps09999

Anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity across a wide range of ecosystems are well documented; however the responses of ecosystems to reduced diversity are still poorly understood. We investigated the effects of species richness, species identity and e... Read More about Effects of species richness, identity and environmental variables on growth in planted mangroves in Kenya.

Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ (2012)
Journal Article
Kermanizadeh, A., Brown, D. M., Hutchison, G. R., & Stone, V. (2012). Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ. Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology, 4, 157. https://doi.org/10.4172/2157-7439.1000157

Background and methods: Following exposure via a number of routes (inhalation, ingestion or injection), some
Nanomaterials (NMs) translocate to secondary tissues, prominently the liver. This study investigated the effects of an
array of NMs, varyin... Read More about Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ.

Interviewing techniques for Darwinian facial-composite systems. (2012)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Nelson, L., Skelton, F. C., Noyce, R., Atkins, R., Heard, P., Morgan, D., Fields, S., Henry, J., McIntyre, A. H., & Hancock, P. J. B. (2012). Interviewing techniques for Darwinian facial-composite systems. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 26, 576-584. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.2829

Eyewitnesses are often asked to describe the appearance of an offender’s face, normally as part of a cognitive interview (CI), and then to construct a facial composite of it by selecting hair, eyes, nose, etc. Recent research indicates that facial c...

Population differentiation and temporal changes of carotenoid pigments and stable isotope ratios in the offspring of anadromous and non-anadromous trout Salmo trutta. (2012)
Journal Article
Briers, R. A., Waterman, J. O., Galt, K., & Campbell, R. N. B. (2012). Population differentiation and temporal changes of carotenoid pigments and stable isotope ratios in the offspring of anadromous and non-anadromous trout Salmo trutta. Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 22, 137-144. https://doi.org/10.1111/eff.12011

Trout (Salmo trutta) exhibit anadromous and non-anadromous forms which are commonly sympatric. Offspring of the two forms can be separated by differences in characteristics such as stable isotope ratios and carotenoid pigments, which differ due to th...

The toxicity and potential pathogenicity of high-performance engineered multi-walled carbon nanotubes. (2012)
Thesis
Boyles, M. The toxicity and potential pathogenicity of high-performance engineered multi-walled carbon nanotubes. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5691

The potential health consequences of carbon nanotube (CNT) exposure is often compared to asbestos and other fibre like materials due to their similar high aspect ratio and potential biopersistence; both are key in driving fibre toxicity and pathogeni...

The cost of dominance: suppressing subordinate reproduction affects the reproductive success of dominant female banded mongooses. (2012)
Journal Article
Bell, M. B. V., Nichols, H. J., Gilchrist, J., Cant, M. A., & Hodge, S. J. (2012). The cost of dominance: suppressing subordinate reproduction affects the reproductive success of dominant female banded mongooses. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 279, 619-624. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2011.1093

Social species show considerable variation in the extent to which dominant females suppress subordinate reproduction. Much of this variation may be influenced by the cost of active suppression to dominants, who may be selected to balance the need to...

The relative influence of leading questions and negative feedback on response change on the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (2): implications for forensic interviewing (2012)
Journal Article
Baxter, J., Charles, K. E., Martin, M., & McGroarty, A. (2012). The relative influence of leading questions and negative feedback on response change on the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (2): implications for forensic interviewing. Psychology, Crime and Law, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1080/1068316X.2011.631538

The ‘Shift’ or response change measure of the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales (GSS 1 and 2) is assumed primarily to indicate acceptance of the negative feedback component of the GSS procedure. Using an adapted version of the question set that bears...
