Book Chapter
Winder, I. C., Heyerdahl-King, I. S., & Winder, N. (2014). Hominin Palaeoecology and Environmental Archaeology. In C. Smith (Ed.), The Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology (3450-3456). New York: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-0465-2_2126

Reconstructing the lives of our closest fossil relatives is relevant to our understanding of the history of the human lineage, our biology, and our relationship with the environment. Further back in time, evidence of material culture dwindles until,... Read More about Hominin Palaeoecology and Environmental Archaeology.

Exploring the professional development of the ODP role (2014)
Journal Article
Robinson, D., & Straughan, R. (2014). Exploring the professional development of the ODP role. Journal of operating department practitioners, 2(7), 352-355. https://doi.org/10.12968/jodp.2014.2.7.352

Considering the evolution of the contemporary operating department practitioner (ODP), this paper will explore the barriers and developments that have led to the ODP profession's current occupational position. Consideration and engagement with primar... Read More about Exploring the professional development of the ODP role.

India's progress toward the 5th Millennium Development Goal: A critical review (2014)
Journal Article
Ahankari, A. (2014). India's progress toward the 5th Millennium Development Goal: A critical review. Indian journal of maternal and child health : official publication of Indian Maternal and Child Health Association, 16(2), 1-11

The 5th millennium development goal is primarily aimed to reduce maternal deaths by 2015. In response, various maternal and child health initiatives are implemented at national level in India.

Improved DNA extraction efficiency from low level cell numbers using a silica monolith based micro fluidic device (2012)
Journal Article
Kashkary, L., Kemp, C., Shaw, K. J., Greenway, G. M., & Haswell, S. J. (2012). Improved DNA extraction efficiency from low level cell numbers using a silica monolith based micro fluidic device. Analytica Chimica Acta, 750, 127-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aca.2012.05.019

The evaluation of a micro fluidic system with an integrated silica monolith for performing DNA extraction from limited biological samples has been carried out. Low DNA target concentrations usually require the addition of carrier RNA to ensure desire...

Direct processing of clinically relevant large volume samples for the detection of sexually transmitted infectious agents from urine on a microfluidic device (2012)
Journal Article
Kemp, C., Birch, C., Shaw, K. J., Nixon, G. J., Docker, P. T., Greenman, J., …Dyer, C. E. (2012). Direct processing of clinically relevant large volume samples for the detection of sexually transmitted infectious agents from urine on a microfluidic device. Analytical Methods, 4(7), 2141-2144. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2ay25075f

Urine is a preferred specimen for nucleic acid-based detection of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) but represents a challenge for microfluidic devices due to low analyte concentrations. We present an extraction methodology enabling rapid on-chi...

Low molecular weight heparin suppresses tissue factor-mediated cancer cell invasion and migration in vitro (2011)
Journal Article
Ettelaie, C., Fountain, D., Collier, M. E. W., Beeby, E., Xiao, Y. P., & Maraveyas, A. (2011). Low molecular weight heparin suppresses tissue factor-mediated cancer cell invasion and migration in vitro. Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2(2), 363-367. https://doi.org/10.3892/etm.2011.211

Elevated expression of tissue factor (TF) has been associated with an increased risk of thrombosis in the majority of cancers. Moreover, treatment of cancer patients with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) appears to have beneficial effects that rea...
