The intermediate filament protein, vimentin, is a regulator of NOD2 activity (2012)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., Henderson, P., Nimmo, E. R., Soares, D. C., Dogan, B., Simpson, K. W., Barrett, J. C., Wilson, D. C., & Satsangi, J. (2013). The intermediate filament protein, vimentin, is a regulator of NOD2 activity. Gut, 62(5), 695-707. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2011-301775

Objective Mutations in the nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) gene remain the strongest genetic determinants for Crohn's disease (CD). Having previously identified vimentin as a novel NOD2-interacting protein, the a... Read More about The intermediate filament protein, vimentin, is a regulator of NOD2 activity.

Effects of geophysical cycles on the rhythm of mass mate searching of a harvested mangrove crab (2012)
Journal Article
Schmidt, A. J., Bemvenuti, C. E., & Diele, K. (2012). Effects of geophysical cycles on the rhythm of mass mate searching of a harvested mangrove crab. Animal Behaviour, 84(2), 333-340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2012.04.023

The harvested mangrove crab Ucides cordatus exhibits conspicuous cycles of searching for mates en masse. This phenomenon, called andada, always occurs at the syzygies, but the particular moon phase, full, new or rarely both, varies for unknown reason...

Testing the integration of ICF and behavioral models of disability in orthopedic patients: Replication and extension (2012)
Journal Article
Quinn, F., Johnston, M., Dixon, D., Johnston, D. W., Pollard, B., & Rowley, D. I. (2012). Testing the integration of ICF and behavioral models of disability in orthopedic patients: Replication and extension. Rehabilitation Psychology, 57(2), 167-177. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0028083

Objective: Disability from chronic illness is a major problem for society, yet the study of its determinants lacks an overall theoretical paradigm. Johnston (1996) has proposed conceptualizing disability as behavior and integrating biomedical and beh...

Pentose sugar utilisation in Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 for biobutanol production: genetic and physiological studies (2012)
Thesis
Watson, J. E. Pentose sugar utilisation in Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 for biobutanol production: genetic and physiological studies. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6051

The future of biofuel production hinges on a cheap, readily available feedstock. In terms of resources available, lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable resource on the planet, available from a plethora of sources such as agriculture, forestry...

Developing and testing an index of change in microplankton community structure in temperate shelf seas (2012)
Thesis
Scherer, C. Developing and testing an index of change in microplankton community structure in temperate shelf seas. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5640

Assessment of eutrophication of coastal waters has traditionally relied on bulk indicators of ecosystem state (e.g. nutrients and phytoplankton biomass as chlorophyll) and changes in phytoplankton oristic composition such as the occurrence of nuisanc...

The barriers and facilitators to routine outcome measurement by allied health professionals in practice: a systematic review (2012)
Journal Article
Duncan, E. A., & Murray, J. (2012). The barriers and facilitators to routine outcome measurement by allied health professionals in practice: a systematic review. BMC Health Services Research, 12(1), 96. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-12-96

Background: Allied Health Professionals today are required, more than ever before, to demonstrate their impact.
However, despite at least 20 years of expectation, many services fail to deliver routine outcome measurement in
practice. This systemati... Read More about The barriers and facilitators to routine outcome measurement by allied health professionals in practice: a systematic review.
