Invadolysin is an essential, conserved metalloprotease which links cell division with cell migration and is intriguingly associated with lipid droplets. In this work we examine the expression pattern, protein localisation and gross anatomical consequ... Read More about Perturbation of invadolysin disrupts cell migration in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects (2013)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Kelly, D., & Barreto, D. (2013). Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects. Acta geotechnica, 8(6), 619-627. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11440-013-0212-0

Soil particles may be lost through dissolution, degradation or erosion. Regardless of the process of loss, there follows a change in soil structure both in terms of phase composition and grading. In this paper, the influence of size and amount of par... Read More about Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects.

Teacher talk and managing social relations in Philippine university classrooms (2013)
Journal Article
Victoria, M. (2013). Teacher talk and managing social relations in Philippine university classrooms. English Language Teacher Education and Development, 15(Winter), Article 5

Language is at the ‘centre of what happens in the classroom’ (Manke, 1997: xvi). Indeed, it can be said that the classroom is a ‘universe of language’ (Bourdieu & Passeron, 1994: 19) where what is taught and learnt is done through spoken or written d...

Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., Scott, M., & Oakley, I. (2013, February). Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces. Presented at 7th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction - TEI '13

This paper argues that inherent support for offline activities -- activities that are not sensed by the system -- is one of strongest benefits of tangible interaction over more traditional interface paradigms. By conducting two studies with single an... Read More about Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces.
