Serum exposed to nanoparticle carbon black displays increased potential to induce macrophage migration (2004)
Journal Article
Barlow, P., Donaldson, K., MacCallum, J., Clouter, A., & Stone, V. (2005). Serum exposed to nanoparticle carbon black displays increased potential to induce macrophage migration. Toxicology Letters, 155(3), 397-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2004.11.006

Objective:
To assess whether fine and ultrafine particles (nanoparticles) have the capacity to activate factors in serum that would induce macrophage migration. This is a model previously reported to investigate complement activation by other respir...

Neural activity pattern systems (2004)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2005). Neural activity pattern systems. Neurocomputing, 65, 531-536. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2004.10.041

Understanding how neural systems work needs appropriate models. Here we propose a model that describes neural systems in terms of abstract communication systems. We indicate how to apply the proposed framework to the analysis of real neural systems.

Flexible foraging patterns under different time constraints in tropical boobies (2004)
Journal Article
Lewis, S., Schreiber, E., Daunt, F., Schenk, G., Wanless, S., & Hamer, K. (2004). Flexible foraging patterns under different time constraints in tropical boobies. Animal Behaviour, 68(6), 1331-1337. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2004.04.007

The foraging behaviour of any animal is intricately linked to ecological constraints. Extrinsic factors, such as daylength, may limit the time available for foraging. Intrinsic factors, such as the coordination of mates at a nest site, may exacerbate... Read More about Flexible foraging patterns under different time constraints in tropical boobies.

Partitioning of diving effort in foraging trips of northern gannets (2004)
Journal Article
