Rats choose high doses of nicotine in order to compensate for changes in its price and availability

Nathan M. Holmes, Jiajing Pan, Andrew Davis, Marios C. Panayi, more

Restricting when and where smoking can occur is a major focus of public health policies in Western countries. In conjunction with increased taxation, these approaches have contributed to a reduction in smoking uptake among adolescents, yet the consequences for established smokers are less clear. In order to further explore this relationship, we developed a novel animal model of restricted nicotine...

Interpreting Puccini’s Suor Angelica: An application of the semiotics of temporality

Andrew Davis

Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology > 2015 > 14 > 48-61

This article summarizes recent discussions in the secondary literature of the semiotics of temporality, understood not as time per se but as the “time signified” by the signs in any semiotic system. Drawing especially on theories of the late Raymond Monelle and noting parallels with Monelle in work of, for example, Abbate, Daverio, Kinderman, Hatten, and Berger, the article posits that states of “temporality”...

Direct Laser Writing of Gold Nanostructures: Application to Data Storage and Color Nanoprinting

Fei Mao, Andrew Davis, Quang Cong Tong, Mai Hoang Luong, more

Plasmonics > 2018 > 13 > 6 > 2285-2291

We have demonstrated a simple way to fabricate gold islands by using the laser direct writing method. The gold nano-islands were formed by the optically induced local thermal effect, resulting from the excitation of a continuous-wave laser beam on gold layer. By moving the laser focusing spot, it was possible to write desired plasmonic texts and images on demand at a nanoscale. By changing the exposure...

Laminin-1 induces endocytosis of 67KDa laminin receptor and protects Neuroscreen-1 cells against death induced by serum withdrawal

Rayudu Gopalakrishna, Usha Gundimeda, Sarah Zhou, Helena Bui, more

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications > 2018 > 495 > 1 > 230-237

Although the function of laminin in the basement membrane is known, the function of soluble “neuronal” laminin is unknown. Since laminin is neuroprotective, we determined whether the soluble laminin-1 induces signaling for neuroprotection via its 67KDa laminin-1 receptor (67LR). Treatment of Neuroscreen-1 (NS-1) cells with laminin-1 or YIGSR peptide, which corresponds to a sequence in laminin-1 β1...

From UTP to AR-C118925, the discovery of a potent non nucleotide antagonist of the P2Y2 receptor

Nicholas Kindon, Andrew Davis, Iain Dougall, John Dixon, more

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters > 2017 > 27 > 21 > 4849-4853

The G protein-coupled P2Y₂ receptor, activated by ATP and UTP has been reported as a potential drug target for a wide range of important clinical conditions, such as tumor metastasis, kidney disorders, and in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. However, pharmacological studies on this receptor have been impeded by the limited reported availability of stable, potent and selective P2Y₂R antagonists...

Psychosocial Implications of Living with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in Adulthood

Ebony Richardson, Catherine Spinks, Andrew Davis, Christian Turner, more

Journal of Genetic Counseling > 2018 > 27 > 3 > 549-557

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare inherited arrhythmogenic disease with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. The impact on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and psychosocial outcomes is not known. We sought to provide the first description of HR-QoL and psychosocial wellbeing of adults with CPVT, parents of affected children and at-risk relatives. Participants...

Failures in adopting green technology under perfect pollution pricing and monopoly

Andrew Davis

International Review of Economics Education > 2017 > 26 > C > 9-13

The regulation of environmental externalities via pollution pricing is a mainstay of many environmental economics texts. Internalizing the cost of pollution leads firms to reduce output to the efficient quantity. However, firms often make decisions other than quantity, such as a choice of which technology to use in production, and studying these choices is often mathematically challenging for undergraduates...

Applying rigor and reproducibility standards to assay donor-derived cell-free DNA as a non-invasive method for detection of acute rejection and graft injury after heart transplantation

Sean Agbor-Enoh, Ilker Tunc, Iwijn De Vlaminck, Ulgen Fideli, more

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation > 2017 > 36 > 9 > 1004-1012

Use of new genomic techniques in clinical settings requires that such methods are rigorous and reproducible. Previous studies have shown that quantitation of donor-derived cell-free DNA (%ddcfDNA) by unbiased shotgun sequencing is a sensitive, non-invasive marker of acute rejection after heart transplantation. The primary goal of this study was to assess the reproducibility of %ddcfDNA measurements...

It wasn't me, it was my festival me: The effect of event stimuli on attendee identity formation

Andrew Davis

Tourism Management > 2017 > 61 > C > 484-500

Consumption of tourism activities plays a symbolic role in the formation of individual and group identity. However, research into specific tourism contexts is unequal, with live music and festival events often overlooked. This research helps rectify the imbalance by exploring consumer identity formation during a live festival event. Literature first reviews identity theory, before contextualizing...

Explaining changes in the US credit card market: Lenders are using more information

Andrew Davis, Jiseob Kim

Economic Modelling > 2017 > 61 > C > 76-92

We examine two changes in the cross-sectional distribution of credit card contracts over time: the increasing variance in interest rates and the increasing variance in credit limits, using data from the 1989–2013 Survey of Consumer Finances. Within this dataset, we show that financial institutions seem to be collecting and using more consumer information when extending credit. We then develop a life-cycle...

Striatum on the anxiety map: Small detours into adolescence

Tiffany Lago, Andrew Davis, Christian Grillon, Monique Ernst

Brain Research > 2017 > 1654 > PB > 177-184

Adolescence is the most sensitive period for the development of pathological anxiety. Moreover, specific neural changes associated with the striatum might be related to adolescent vulnerability to anxiety. Up to now, the study of anxiety has primarily focused on the amygdala, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), while the striatum has...

Working memory maintenance is sufficient to reduce state anxiety

Nicholas L. Balderston, David Quispe‐Escudero, Elizabeth Hale, Andrew Davis, more

Psychophysiology > 53 > 11 > 1660 - 1668

According to the attentional control theory (ACT) proposed by Eysenck and colleagues, anxiety interferes with cognitive processing by prioritizing bottom‐up attentional processes over top‐down attentional processes, leading to competition for access to limited resources in working memory, particularly the central executive (Eysenck, Derakshan, Santos, & Calvo, [Eysenck, M. W., 2007]). However,...
