Differential effects of aging on executive and automatic inhibition (2008)
Journal Article
Andrés, P., Guerrini, C., Phillips, L. H., & Perfect, T. J. (2008). Differential effects of aging on executive and automatic inhibition. Developmental Neuropsychology, 33(2), 101-123. https://doi.org/10.1080/87565640701884212

One of the major accounts of cognitive aging states that age effects are related to a deficiency of inhibitory mechanisms (Hasher & Zacks, 1988). Given that inhibition has traditionally been associated with the frontal cortex, and that the frontal co... Read More about Differential effects of aging on executive and automatic inhibition.

The timing of development and subsequent clinical course of heart failure after a myocardial infarction (2008)
Journal Article

Self Defense in Islamic and International Law: Assessing Al-Qaeda and the Invasion of Iraq (2008)
Book
Shah, N. (2008). Self Defense in Islamic and International Law: Assessing Al-Qaeda and the Invasion of Iraq. Palgrave Macmillan. https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230611658

The book argues that the concept of self-defense in Islamic and International law is compatible. Al-Qaeda's declaration of Jihad does not meet the Islamic legal test. Similarly, the invasion of Iraq does meet the international legal test.
