Combining direct surface force measurements with in situ regulation of surface potential provides an exceptional opportunity for investigating and manipulating interfacial phenomena. Recently, we studied the interaction between gold and mica surfaces in water with no added salt, while controlling the metal potential, and found that the surface charge at the metal may vary, and possibly even cha...

Formation of self-assembled chains of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) on the Cu(100) surface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations that include semiempirical van der Waals (vdW) interaction corrections. The calculations show that the chain structures observed in the experiments can only be explained by including the vdW interactions. The mole...

J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 2009;91-B:138-40. To be asked “Do you think that the ABC Fellowship has a future?” at the interview was something of a surprise. The initial response was “Well, I hope so, given that we are looking at giving it six weeks away from home.” You wouldn’t want to waste your effort on something that has had it’s time, now would you? There was, of course, serious intent in the q...

The status of mood-congruent free recall bias in anxious individuals was evaluated following incidental encoding of target words. Individuals with high and low levels of trait anxiety completed a modified Stroop task, which revealed an attentional bias for threat-related stimuli in anxious individuals. This group was significantly slower in naming the colour in which threat-related words were d...

my privilege to enjoy with the eminent Utrecht Professor, Iieer J. L. C. Schroeder van der Kolk, in reference to an important physiological work of his, which I have translated and edited for the New Sydenham Society, the author was good enough to send me, with some other minor essays, a copy of a dissertation read by him before the Physical Society of Utrecht, at one of the meetings to which l...

The most recent H1 and ZEUS data for diffractive structure functions are analyzed under three different theoretical approaches. This includes the Pomeron Structure Function (PSF) framework, Bartels-Ellis-Kowalski-Wüsthoff (BEKW) color dipole approach and the Golec-Biernat-Wüsthoff (GBW) saturation model. The models are shown to successfully fit the set of combined data. Conceptual differences b...
