Institutional modernisation and the legacy of corporatism: The case of port reform in Brazil (2003)
Journal Article
Doctor, M. (2003). Institutional modernisation and the legacy of corporatism: The case of port reform in Brazil. Journal of Latin American Studies, 35(2), 341-365. https://doi.org/10.1017/S002216X03006783

This article analyses some of the difficulties of institutional modernisation based on a study of Brazilian port reform in the 1990s. It explains how and why Brazilian business managed to organise collective action for dramatic reform of the port str...

Regulation of breast cancer cell chemotaxis by the phosphoinositide 3-Kinase p110δ (2003)
Journal Article
Sawyer, C., Sturge, J., Bennett, D. C., O'Hare, M. J., Allen, W. E., Bain, J., …Vanhaesebroeck, B. (2003). Regulation of breast cancer cell chemotaxis by the phosphoinositide 3-Kinase p110δ. Cancer Research, 63(7), 1667-1675

Class IA phosphoinositide 3′-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate many cellular processes downstream of tyrosine kinases and Ras. Despite a clear implication of PI3K in cancer, little is known about the distribution of the different PI3K isoforms in malignant ce...

Pigeons received an odd-item search task that involved an array of 12 patterns containing 11 similar distractors and a single target. Pecks to the target resulted in the delivery of food. Accuracy was greater on trials when a distinctive feature was... Read More about Virtual search asymmetry in pigeons..

Discrimination of structure: II. Feature binding. (2003)
Journal Article
Pearce, J. M., & George, D. N. (2003). Discrimination of structure: II. Feature binding. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 29(2), 107-117. https://doi.org/10.1037/0097-7403.29.2.107

In 3 experiments, pigeons acquired a discrimination between patterns comprising the same features. Thus vertical green bars beside horizontal red bars might have signaled food, and horizontal green bars beside vertical red bars might have signaled no...

Disease-specific quality of life assessment in intermittent claudication: review (2003)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Subramaniam, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2003). Disease-specific quality of life assessment in intermittent claudication: review. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 25(3), 202-208. https://doi.org/10.1053/ejvs.2002.1837

Objectives: intermittent claudication (IC) is a common condition that has a major impact on the patients' quality of life (QoL). Generic QoL instruments often lack sensitivity to detect small but clinically significant variation in QoL. Disease-speci...

Is water temperature an adequate predictor of recruitment success in cyprinid fish populations in lowland rivers? (2003)
Journal Article
Nunn, A., Cowx, I., Frear, P., & Harvey, J. (2003). Is water temperature an adequate predictor of recruitment success in cyprinid fish populations in lowland rivers?. Freshwater biology, 48(4), 579-588. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2427.2003.01033.x

1. Higher than average ambient water temperature in the first year of life may be responsible for strong cohorts of adult cyprinid fish. Whilst temperature explains much of the variation in year-class strength (YCS), however, it is not the only influ...
