'The promotion and resistance of rape myths in an internet discussion forum’ (2010)
Journal Article
Westmarland, N., & Graham, L. (2010). 'The promotion and resistance of rape myths in an internet discussion forum’. The journal of social criminology, 1(2), 80-104

There is now widespread recognition in the UK that the problems faced in rape prosecutions cannot be dealt with solely through legal reform (HM Government, 2007; Rape Crisis Scotland, 2008; Temkin and Krahe, 2008) and that a societal shift in attitud...

Journal Article
Srinivasan, K. (2010). The social science imagination in India: Deconstructing boundaries and redefining limits

The social sciences have played a significant role in challenging and politicising various forms of exploitation. However, Indian social science discourse has largely ignored the exploitation that is inherent in most human–non-human relationships and...

Related to this issue, the paper asks what sorts of collective actions are used to defe... Read More about Migration, informalization and public space in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

Direct mapping of the solid–liquid adhesion energy with subnanometre resolution (2010)
Journal Article
Voïtchovsky, K., Kuna, J., Contera, S., Tosatti, E., & Stellacci, F. (2010). Direct mapping of the solid–liquid adhesion energy with subnanometre resolution. Nature Nanotechnology, 5(6), 401-405. https://doi.org/10.1038/nnano.2010.67

Solid–liquid interfaces play a fundamental role in surface electrochemistry1, catalysis2, wetting3, self-assembly4 and biomolecular functions5. The interfacial energy determines many of the properties of such interfaces, including the arrangement of...

The development of locomotor planning for end-state comfort (2010)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Smith, L., & Braddick, O. (2010). The development of locomotor planning for end-state comfort. Perception, 39(5), 661-670. https://doi.org/10.1068/p6343

Walking through real-world environments involves using perceptual information to make complex choices between alternative routes, and this ability must develop through childhood. We examined performance and its development in one such situation. We u... Read More about The development of locomotor planning for end-state comfort.

What are randomised controlled trials good for? (2010)
Journal Article
Cartwright, N. (2010). What are randomised controlled trials good for?. Philosophical Studies, 147(1), 59-70. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11098-009-9450-2

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are widely taken as the gold standard for establishing causal conclusions. Ideally conducted they ensure that the treatment ‘causes’ the outcome—in the experiment. But where else? This is the venerable question of... Read More about What are randomised controlled trials good for?.

The Permanence of Cupid's Metamorphosis in the Aeneid (2010)
Journal Article
Ziogas, I. (2010). The Permanence of Cupid's Metamorphosis in the Aeneid. Trends in Classics, 2(1), 150-174. https://doi.org/10.1515/tcs.2010.007

Cupid morphs into Ascanius in Aeneid 1 and I argue that this transformation invests Ascanius with erotic qualities that are essential to understanding the boy's role in the Aeneid. Vergil deliberately blurs the distinction between Ascanius and Cupid,... Read More about The Permanence of Cupid's Metamorphosis in the Aeneid.
