Immunomodulatory effects of cannabinoids in human T-lymphocytes (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schinwald, A., Galban-Horcajo, F., Malone, E., & Smith, P. (2009). Immunomodulatory effects of cannabinoids in human T-lymphocytes. In Proceedings of the British Pharmacological Society

Background: Circulating levels of endocannabinoids are elevated in obese and hyperglycaemic patients and may contribute to immune dysfunction in obesity and diabetes. Cannabinoids have been shown to evoke both pro-and anti-inflammatory responses, act... Read More about Immunomodulatory effects of cannabinoids in human T-lymphocytes.

Caricaturing to Improve Face Matching (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hancock, P. J., McIntyre, A. H., & Kittler, J. (2009). Caricaturing to Improve Face Matching. In Symposium on Bio-inspired Learning and Intelligent Systems for Security, 2009. BLISS '09https://doi.org/10.1109/bliss.2009.17

Identity verification by matching face images is a common security task; is this person on a wanted list? With unfamiliar faces, this is surprisingly difficult, with error rates in the region of 30%. With photographic identification increasingly comm... Read More about Caricaturing to Improve Face Matching.

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). The influence of internal versus external attributions of crime causality: A comparison between experts, semi-experts and lay-people.

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..
