P088 Involvement of NMDAR in chondrocyte cell death and matrix degeneration
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramage, L., Hardingham, G., & Salter, D. (2009, June). P088 Involvement of NMDAR in chondrocyte cell death and matrix degeneration. Paper presented at 2nd Joint meeting of the Bone Research Society and the British Society for Matrix Biology

NMDA receptors (NMDAR) are expressed by chondrocytes in
articular cartilage although their function is yet to be fully
understood. NMDAR are ionotropic glutamate receptors which
when excessively stimulated in neurones induce cell death and
neuron... Read More about P088 Involvement of NMDAR in chondrocyte cell death and matrix degeneration.

Youth digital participation: measuring social impact
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pawluczuk, A., Hall, H., Smith, C. F., & Webster, G. (2017, June). Youth digital participation: measuring social impact. Paper presented at i3 - information: interactions and impact

1.Introduction
The concept of ‘youth participation’ has developed since the early 2000s in a time during which young people's everyday lives have become more heavily influenced and shaped by ‘multimodal, interactive, convergent, and networked media’...

Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice
Preprint / Working Paper
Weaver, M. (2011). Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice

Evaluating supply chain problems is important yet complex; with vast amount of research and practice using a simulation based approach. However, the least understood aspect of a simulation study is the critical step of ‘conceptual modelling’. This pa...

Non-contact injury incidence and warm-up observation in hockey in Scotland
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Johnston, T., Brown, S., Kaliarntas, K., & Taylor, C. (2016, August). Non-contact injury incidence and warm-up observation in hockey in Scotland. Poster presented at International Sports Science + Sports Medicine Conference 2016

Noncontact injuries occur during manoeuvres such as landing, accelerating and the side-cut. This investigation has assessed the prevalence and manoeuvres associated with noncontact injuries and the current warm up practice. An online questionnaire wa...

Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. (2014). Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine. Edinburgh, Scotland

While most major research universities promote entrepreneurial approaches, few provide the resources, training, or career support to sustain a productive start-up environment and drive regional economic development.

These challenges are especially... Read More about Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine.

Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities.
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. (2015). Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. Edinburgh, Scotland

Universities can drive entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially in high-value technology sectors. Nowhere is this more evident than in regenerative medicine (regenmed), which is centred on academic stem cell research.

Over the past three years, we’... Read More about Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities..

Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Llewellyn, R., & Ladyman, S. (2016). Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents. In Proceedings of 11th ITS European Congress

In-vehicle distraction is often the subject of debate in relation to road safety. Distractions outside of the vehicle, however, are often overlooked. Both situations result in cognitive capture, a form of 'Inattentional Blindness'. This paper investi...
