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...

Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (2001)
Journal Article
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., Greenman, J., & McCollum, P. (2001). Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication. Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society meeting abstracts, 28(32), 0 - 0

BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication represents a minor ischaemia reperfusion episode. Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen during such episodes is a concern to many vascular surgeons because of the theoretical risk of generating excess free radicals. We a...

Development of an artificial intervertebral disc for laboratory test spine (2001)
Journal Article
Fagan, M., Gillespie, P., Julian, S., Siddall, D., & Mohsen, A. (2001). Development of an artificial intervertebral disc for laboratory test spine. Journal of biomechanics, 34(Supplement 1), S59 - S60. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0021-9290%2801%2900129-4

A patient-specific finite element model of the spine is currently beingdeveloped to aid the surgeon in the diagnosis and clinical managementof spinal conditions1. To validate the application of the computermodel, a laboratory validation spine is bein... Read More about Development of an artificial intervertebral disc for laboratory test spine.

Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy (2001)
Journal Article
Kuhan, G., Gardiner, E. D., Abidia, A. F., Chetter, I. C., Renwick, P. M., Johnson, B. F., …McCollum, P. T. (2001). Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy. British journal of surgery, 88(12), 1590-1594. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.0007-1323.2001.01938.x

Background: The aims of this study were to identify factors that influence the risk of stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to develop a model to aid in comparative audit of vascular surgeons and units. Methods: A series of 839... Read More about Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy.

General Sir Ian Hamilton and the Dardanelles commission (2001)
Journal Article
MacLeod, J. (2001). General Sir Ian Hamilton and the Dardanelles commission. War in History, 8(4), 418-441. https://doi.org/10.1177/096834450100800403

This article traces some aspects of the story behind-the-scenes at the Dardanelles commission which account for the bland nature of its reports. It focuses in particular upon the clandestine attempts by General Sir Ian Hamilton to influence the verdi... Read More about General Sir Ian Hamilton and the Dardanelles commission.

Reverse time modeling of thermal problems using the transmission line matrix approach (2001)
Journal Article
Badger, I., Pulko, S. H., & Wilkinson, A. J. (2001). Reverse time modeling of thermal problems using the transmission line matrix approach. Numerical Heat Transfer, Part B Fundamentals, 40(3), 249-264. https://doi.org/10.1080/104077901752379648

The possibility of using inverse scattering for reverse time modeling of thermal diffusion problems using the transmission line matrix is discussed. Consideration is given to network parameterization via a series of numerical experiments. A three-dim...

Control states and complete agent architectures (2001)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N. (2001). Control states and complete agent architectures. Computational Intelligence, 17(4), 621-650. https://doi.org/10.1111/0824-7935.00167

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...
