Journal Article
Hänfling, B., Durka, W., & Brandl, R. (2004). Impact of habitat fragmentation on genetic population structure of roach, Rutilus rutilus, in a riparian ecosystem. Conservation genetics, 5(2), 247-257. https://doi.org/10.1023/B%3ACOGE.0000030008.20492.2c

During the last 200 years, the riparian ecosystem along major rivers has been reduced to a few scattered remnants. Important elements of the riparian ecosystem are water bodies which were originally connected to the main river channel by annual flood...

Journal Article
Nolan, K. F., Croxton, R., Strong, V., Soler, D., Fairchild, P. J., Cobbold, S. P., Gonzalo, J.-A., Rubio, A., Wells, M., & Waldmann, H. (2004). IL-10-Conditioned Dendritic Cells, Decommissioned for Recruitment of Adaptive Immunity, Elicit Innate Inflammatory Gene Products in Response to Danger Signals. Journal of Immunology, 172(4), 2201-2209. https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.172.4.2201

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the professional APCs of the immune system, enabling T cells to perceive and respond appropriately to potentially dangerous microbes, while also being able to maintain T cell tolerance toward self. In part, such tolerance ca...

Does double loop learning create reliable knowledge? (2004)
Journal Article
Blackman, D., Connelly, J., & Henderson, S. (2004). Does double loop learning create reliable knowledge?. Learning Organization, The, 11(1), 11-27. https://doi.org/10.1108/09696470410515706

This paper addresses doubts concerning the reliability of knowledge being created by double loop learning processes. Popper's ontological worlds are used to explore the philosophical basis of the way that individual experiences are turned into organi...
