Although it is well established that fish possess corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and a CRF-like peptide, urotensin I, comparatively little is known about the pharmacology of their cognate receptors. Here we report the isolation and functional e... Read More about Cloning and functional pharmacology of two corticotropin-releasing factor receptors from a teleost fish.

Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. (2001)
Journal Article
Ng, K., Fairfield, C. A., & Sibbald, A. (2001). Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers, 79, 31-37

There are approximately 75,000 masonry arch bridges in the UK, most of which were built between 1700 and 1900 and are now carrying traffic loads far beyond those envisaged by the original designers and builders. A question has to be asked as to wheth... Read More about Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction..

Getting the story straight (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., Turner, P., Turner, S., & McCall, R. (2001, September). Getting the story straight. Presented at HCI 2001 and IHM 2001, Lille, France

We argue that the use of a user-centred design approach necessarily involves some form of story telling or narrative. Given that both the potential end-users and the designers themselves often (perhaps usually) have different interests and points-of-... Read More about Getting the story straight.

Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P. (2001). Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources.

The paper outlines options for managing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. It begins with the hypothesis that variation is the largest single issue with regard to wood quality and that the extent of variation creates both the big...
