Introduction: States, critical citizens, and the challenge of democratization in Southeast Asia
(Japanese Journal of Political Science, 2015)The political trajectories in Southeast Asia are much more complex than neat theoretical models would suggest. In particular, the diverse experience of post-authoritarian states are far from linear-often moving forward, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Critical citizens: Attitudes towards democracy in Indonesia and Malaysia
(Japanese Journal of Political Science, 2015)In recent years much has been said about how new democracies are backsliding or have regressed since the turn of the century when hope and optimism about the future spread of democracy was widespread. However, ideas that ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Authoritarian Durability: Public Opinion towards Democracy in Southeast Asia

Carcinogenic potential of sanguinarine, a phytochemical used in 'therapeutic' black salve and mouthwash
(Mutation Research: Reviews, 2017)Black salves are escharotic skin cancer therapies in clinical use since the mid 19th century. Sanguinaria canadensis, a major ingredient of black salve formulations, contains a number of bioactive phytochemicals including ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The role of physiotherapy in the European Space Agency strategy for preparation and reconditioning of astronauts before and after long duration space flight
(Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2017)Spaceflight and exposure to microgravity have wide-ranging effects on many systems of the human body. At the European Space Agency (ESA), a physiotherapist plays a key role in the multidisciplinary ESA team responsible for ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Test-retest reliability of measurements of abdominal and multifidus muscles using ultrasound imaging in adults aged 50-79 years
(Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2017)Test-retest reliability of the combined process of ultrasound imaging (USI) and image measurement of thickness of abdominal and upper lumbar multifidus (MF) muscles and MF cross sectional area (CSA) of older adults has not ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Terrestrial neuro-musculoskeletal rehabilitation and astronaut reconditioning: Reciprocal knowledge transfer
(Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2017)Research on astronauts can benefit patients with conditions affecting the neuro-musculoskeletal systems and vice versa, as both face the challenge of managing the effects of disuse. Deconditioning in astronauts after ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Systematic review of countermeasures to minimise physiological changes and risk of injury to the lumbopelvic area following long-term microgravity
(Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2017)Background No studies have been published on an astronaut population to assess the effectiveness of countermeasures for limiting physiological changes in the lumbopelvic region caused by microgravity exposure during ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Parallels between astronauts and terrestrial patients - Taking physiotherapy rehabilitation "To infinity and beyond"
(Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2017)Exposure to the microgravity environment induces physiological changes in the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and sensorimotor systems in healthy astronauts. As space agencies prepare for extended duration missions, it is ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
'De-pathologising' the psychological responses to injury and pain
(Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2017)Physiotherapists are encouraged to assess psychological symptoms in patients with musculoskeletal pain. Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend that patients who score above recommended cut-off scores on various psychological ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Evaluation of Single Layer Hafnium Nitride Coated Tool for Metal Cutting
(MRS Online Proceedings Library, 2016)The main purpose of coatings is to increase the lifetime of cutting tools, to perform continuous and economical material removal process, reducing the frequency of sharpening or replacement of the tool, which contributes ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Public Support for Democracy in Transitional Regimes
(Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties, 2015)Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the Colour Revolutions and the Arab Spring, the world's share of democracies has stagnated over the past 15 years. The steady rise of China, Russia, and Iran has also led to warnings of ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Diketopyrrolopyrrole-based polymer:fullerene nanoparticle films with thermally stable morphology for organic photovoltaic applications
(MRS Communications, 2017)Polymer:fullerene nanoparticles (NPs) offer two key advantages over bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), water-processability and potentially superior morphological control. Once an optimal ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Parasitic Mistletoes of the Genera Scurrula and Viscum: From Bench to Bedside
(Molecules, 2016)The mistletoes, stem hemiparasites of Asia and Europe, have been used as medicinal herbs for many years and possess sophisticated systems to obtain nutrients from their host plants. Although knowledge about ethnomedicinal ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -

Future shock or future stability?: Generational change and the Australian party system
(Australian Journal of Politics and History, 2013)The stability of the Australian two-party system has been a long-running feature of Australian politics. But a question outstanding in the literature is how different generations of Australians contribute to the stability ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Potent and Targeted Activation of Latent HIV-1 Using the CRISPR/dCas9 Activator Complex
(Molecular Theory, 2016)HIV-1 provirus integration results in a persistent latently infected reservoir that is recalcitrant to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) with lifelong treatment being the only option. The "shock and kill" strategy ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Policy agendas and immigration in Australia 1996-2012
