The apparent truth of dualism and the uncanny body (2007)
Journal Article
Burwood, S. (2008). The apparent truth of dualism and the uncanny body. Phenomenology and the cognitive sciences, 7(2), 263-278. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11097-007-9073-z

It has been suggested that our experiences of embodiment in general appear to constitute an experiential ground for dualist philosophy and that this is particularly so with experiences of dissociation, in which one feels estranged from one's body. Th... Read More about The apparent truth of dualism and the uncanny body.

Value of the 6-minute walk test in older patients with chronic heart failure (2007)
Journal Article
Ingle, L. (2007). Value of the 6-minute walk test in older patients with chronic heart failure. Cardiology in review, 24(10), 29-32

We assessed the prognostic value of the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) among 1592 subjects with differing degrees of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). We found that the 6-MWT was an independent predictor of mortality, particularly among patie... Read More about Value of the 6-minute walk test in older patients with chronic heart failure.

The lifestyles of affluent young people ages 9 to 15 years: a case study (2007)
Journal Article

Force measurement from viscoelastically recovering Nylon 6,6 fibres (2007)
Journal Article
Pang, J. W. C., Lamin, B. M., & Fancey, K. S. (2008). Force measurement from viscoelastically recovering Nylon 6,6 fibres. Materials letters, 62(10-11), 1693-1696. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2007.09.061

The force generated from viscoelastically stored energy in nylon 6,6 fibres was investigated. A 320 MPa, 24 h tensile creep stress was applied to annealed yarn. Following elastic (short-term) recovery, the yarn was allowed to contract from a loose st... Read More about Force measurement from viscoelastically recovering Nylon 6,6 fibres.

Establishment of self-sustaining populations of non-native fish species in the River Trent and Warwickshire Avon, UK, indicated by the presence of 0+ fish (2007)
Journal Article
Nunn, A. D., Bolland, J. D., Harvey, J. P., & Cowx, I. G. (2007). Establishment of self-sustaining populations of non-native fish species in the River Trent and Warwickshire Avon, UK, indicated by the presence of 0+ fish. Aquatic Invasions, 2(3), 190-196. https://doi.org/10.3391/ai.2007.2.3.6

This study investigated the reproduction of non-native fish species, inferred from the presence of 0+ fish, in three English lowland rivers over an 8 year period. Evidence of self-sustaining populations was found for three non-native fish species, na...

Four models of political representation: British MPs and the use of ICT (2007)
Journal Article

This paper tests four models of political representation in the UK Parliament: the traditional, party, representative and tribune. Each involves a different usage of the Internet in order to fulfil a particular role. A rational choice approach emphas...
