Thesis
Zhang, F. (2007). The role of cannabinoid receptors in the development and progression of diabetic neuropathy. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2823206

Diabetic neuropathy is characterised by neurodegeneration of peripheral sensory nerves, resulting in acute pain, sensory loss, and an increased risk of limb amputation. A clearer understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development and progress... Read More about The role of cannabinoid receptors in the development and progression of diabetic neuropathy.

Investigating children's eye-movements: Cause or effect of reversing ambiguous figures? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wimmer, M., & Doherty, M. (2007). Investigating children's eye-movements: Cause or effect of reversing ambiguous figures?. In Proceedings of the 29th Annual Cognitive Science Society. , (1659-1664)

We examined whether eye-movements play a significant role in perceiving both interpretations (reversing) of ambiguous figures such as the duck/rabbit (Jastrow, 1900). In an eye tracking study we investigated 3-, 4- and 5-year-old children’s reversal... Read More about Investigating children's eye-movements: Cause or effect of reversing ambiguous figures?.

Innovative assessment across the disciplines An analytical review of the literature. (2007)
Report
Hounsell, D., Falchikov, N., Hounsell, J., Klampfleitner, M., Huxham, M., Thomson, K., & Blair, S. (2006). Innovative assessment across the disciplines An analytical review of the literature. York: The Higher Education Academy

In universities, where the choice of methods of assessment is devolved, such methods can differ by subject area, by course and by institution. Yet while devolution offers scope to reconfigure assessment approaches, there may be correspondingly greate...

The tumor suppressor gene DLEC1 is frequently silenced by DNA methylation in hepatocellular carcinoma and induces G1 arrest in cell cycle (2007)
Journal Article
Qiu, G., Salto-Tellez, M., Ross, J. A., Yeo, W., Cui, Y., Wheelhouse, N., …Hooi, S. C. (2008). The tumor suppressor gene DLEC1 is frequently silenced by DNA methylation in hepatocellular carcinoma and induces G1 arrest in cell cycle. Journal of Hepatolo

Background/Aims: The chromosome locus 3p21.3 is a ‘‘hot-spot” for chromosomal aberrations and loss of heterozygosity in cancers. The 35 genes mapped to the AP20 subregion of this locus were screened for their expression to identify candidate tumor su...

The effect of pasture restriction on dry matter intake by foraging donkeys in the UK. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wood, S. J., Smith, D., Muir, C. J., Oliver, J., & Cuddeford, D. (2006). The effect of pasture restriction on dry matter intake by foraging donkeys in the UK. In R. A. Pearson, C. J. Muir, & M. Farrow (Eds.),

Measuring daily food intake of foraging animals is essential if accurate feeding rations are to be implemented. The alkane technique, which has recently been validated in equines, now provides the opportunity to measure intake at pasture. The aims of...

Seasonal variation of digestible energy requirements of mature donkeys in the UK. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wood, S. J., Smith, D., Muir, C. J., & Cuddeford, D. (2007). Seasonal variation of digestible energy requirements of mature donkeys in the UK. In R. A. Pearson, C. J. Muir, & M. Farrow (Eds.),

At present there are no published feeding guidelines specific to donkeys. Current recommendations are to feed 0.75 of horse energy needs on a body weight basis. However, it has been shown that donkeys have a greater digestive efficiency than horses a... Read More about Seasonal variation of digestible energy requirements of mature donkeys in the UK..
