Hardy Weinberg Expectations in Canine Breeds: Implications for Genetic Studies (2007)
Short, Andrea D., Kennedy, Lorna J., Barnes, Annette, Fretwell, Neale, Jones, Chris, Thomson, Wendy, ...
Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is a useful indicator of genotype frequencies within a population and whether they are based on a valid definition of alleles and a randomly mating sample. HWE...
Analysis of Candidate Susceptibility Genes in Canine Diabetes (2007)
Short, Andrea D., Catchpole, Brian, Kennedy, Lorna J., Barnes, Annette, Fretwell, Neale, Jones, Chris, ...
Canine diabetes is a complex genetic disease of unknown aetiology. It affects 0.005–1.5% of the canine population and shows a clear breed predisposition with the Samoyed being at high risk and the...

Background. Lanthanum carbonate (LC) has been proposed as a new phosphate binder. Presented here are the results from one centre that participated in a multicentre trial to assess the effect of...
Jones, Chris, Roderick, Paul, Harris, Scott, Rogerson, Mary
Background. The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is high, but its natural history and the benefit of routine nephrology care is unclear. This study investigated the decline in kidney function...

Why the marginal social cost of funds is not the shadow value of government revenue (2005)
No distinction is made between the marginal social cost of public funds (MCF) and the shadow value of government revenue in the public finance literature. Their separate roles are demonstrated in...
Simpson, Peter T., Gale, Theodora, Reis-Filho, Jorge S., Jones, Chris, Parry, Suzanne, Steele, Dawn, ...
14-3-3σ is a candidate tumour suppressor gene transactivated by p53 in response to DNA damage. In gene expression analysis of normal luminal and myoepithelial cells, 14-3-3σ was preferentially...
Simulation model of renal replacement therapy: predicting future demand in England (2004)
Roderick, Paul, Davies, Ruth, Jones, Chris, Feest, Terry, Smith, Steve, Farrington, Ken
Background. The demand for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in England has risen steadily, although from a lower base than many other developed countries. Predicting the future demand for RRT and the...
The use of internal state in multirobot coordination (2004)
Abstract — Coordination is an essential characteristic of any task-achieving multi-robot system (MRS), whether it is accomplished through an explicit or implicit coordination mechanism. There is...
Automatic synthesis of communication-based coordinated multi-robot systems (2004)
Abstract — To enable the successful deployment of taskachieving multi-robot systems (MRS), coordination mechanisms must be utilized in order to effectively mediate the interactions between the...
Cost-benefit analysis and the shadow value of government revenue (2003)
This paper proves the Hatta (1977) coefficient is the shadow value of government revenue - it is a scaling coefficient that converts efficiency effects from marginal policy changes into dollar...
Late referral for end-stage renal disease: a region-wide survey in the south west of England (2002)
Roderick, Paul, Jones, Chris, Drey, Nick, Blakeley, Sara, Webster, Premila, Goddard, Jonathan, ...
Background. The proportion of patients referred for renal replacement therapy (RRT) at a late stage of disease appears to be similar to that first described nearly 20 years ago. This...
Seamus Heaney's recent translation of Beowulf reminds us that Old English poetry can hold a strong attraction for modern poets. This essay examines Auden's debt to the earliest English poetry,...
The "Boadway Paradox" revisited (2002)
The "Boadway paradox" identifies potential Pareto improvements in a general equilibrium setting when none exist. It finds the compensating variations (CV.s) for a lump-sum redistribution of income...
Voices From the Front Line: State Social Workers and New Labour (2001)
The article explores the condition of state social work in England today. It is based on interviews with experienced social workers employed by local authority social services departments across the...
Conventional Cost-Benefit Analysis with Distorting Taxes and the Revised Samuelson Condition (2001)
When projects are evaluated using a conventional Harberger (1971) cost-benefit analysis the welfare effects are separated with lump-sum transfers. But this does not appear possible when governments...
This paper makes a correction to the way the marginal social cost of public funds (MCF) is used in Sieper (1981) to obtain uncompensated shadow prices when transfers are made with distorting taxes....
Miller’s Equilibrium and Uncertainty (1999)
This paper highlights the arbitrage activity by firms in Miller’s (1977) equilibrium when consumers face (short) selling constraints to restrict tax arbitrage. In this competitive equilibrium firms...

A novel technique for the selection of mutated DNA sequences, termed mismatch cleavage-polymerase chain reaction (MC-PCR), is proposed. The method is based on hybridizing genomic DNA with a suitable...
Asset Demands of Heterogeneous Consumers with Uninsurable Idiosyncratic Risk (1995)
We examine asset market equilibrium in a dynamic economic model with individual and aggregate uncertainty and where the asset market is incomplete. Modigliani-Miller leverage irrelevance holds, even...
