Cannabis use and social identity (2001)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., Jenkins, R., & Reid, M. (2001). Cannabis use and social identity. Addiction research & theory, 9(2), 133-150. https://doi.org/10.3109/16066350109141745

Cannabis use has become common, but we still understand little about how and why people use cannabis. This paper theorises the relationship between cannabis use and social identity, suggesting that cannabis use is an important aspect of many people's...

This paper presents a developing concept of mind defined in terms of external and internal niches. This perspective on mind is described primarily in terms of the niche space of control states and the design space of processes that may support such p...

Women's reproductive lives as a symbolic resource in Central and Eastern Europe (2001)
Journal Article
Hockey, J., & Alsop, R. (2001). Women's reproductive lives as a symbolic resource in Central and Eastern Europe. European Journal of Women's Studies, 8(4), 454-471. https://doi.org/10.1177/135050680100800404

When Communism collapsed in Central and Eastern Europe women seemed to lose the control they had gained over their reproductive lives. Abortion rights became more limited as did access to childcare and maternity benefits. The authors argue that this...

Outpatient hand held manometry: comparison of techniques (2001)
Journal Article
Bollard, R. C., Gardiner, A., & Duthie, G. S. (2001). Outpatient hand held manometry: comparison of techniques. Colorectal Disease, 3(1), 13-16. doi:10.1046/j.1463-1318.2001.00219.x

Objective. Anorectal manometry is an established important investigation in a number of disorders. The specialist ano-rectal laboratory is not always available, and a hand held manometer may be a useful tool in the outpatient setting to avoid an unne...

Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance (2001)
Journal Article
Wallace, E. J., Buzza, D. M., & Read, D. J. (2001). Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance. Macromolecules, 34(20), 7140-7146. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma0104130

A lattice Monte Carlo scheme for simulating dendrimers that is widely referenced in the literature is that of Mansfield and Klushin (Macromolecules 1993, 26, 4262). However, we show that this scheme does not obey a detailed balance and propose a modi... Read More about Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance.
