Exposure to host resistance mechanisms drives evolution of bacterial virulence in plants (2005)
Journal Article

Bacterial pathogenicity to plants and animals has evolved through an arms race of attack and defense. Key players are bacterial effector proteins, which are delivered through the type III secretion system and suppress basal defenses [1]. In plants, v...

Integrated transport planning in the UK: From concept to reality (2005)
Journal Article

This paper explores the need for new planning authority practices and structures that can accommodate new policy demands, synergies and approaches to urban management in the UK. Initially it considers recent UK government ideas on the integration of... Read More about Integrated transport planning in the UK: From concept to reality.

The framing of nanotechnologies in the British newspaper press (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This article investigates how developments in nanotechnology were framed in the British national newspaper press during a formative period in their rising public salience. Specifically, an intervention by Prince Charles in April 2003 is shown to have... Read More about The framing of nanotechnologies in the British newspaper press.

Diversity or the lack of it in the architectural profession (2005)
Journal Article

Approximately 37 per cent of architectural students are women and the percentage is increasing. This increase is not reflected in the architectural profession; women represent only 13 per cent of the total and analysis reveals that women are leaving...

Nitric oxide mediates gravitropic bending in soybean roots (2005)
Journal Article

Plant roots are gravitropic, detecting and responding to changes in orientation via differential growth that results in bending and reestablishment of downward growth. Recent data support the basics of the Cholodny-Went hypothesis, indicating that di... Read More about Nitric oxide mediates gravitropic bending in soybean roots.

Robust and efficient automated detection of tooling defects in polished stone (2005)
Journal Article

The automated detection of process-induced defects such as tooling marks is a common and important problem in machine vision. Such defects are often distinguishable from natural flaws and other features by their geometric form, for example their circ...

City centre regeneration through residential development: Contributing to sustainability (2005)
Journal Article

Following a discussion of recent policies for the city centre in Britain, the paper explores the contribution of residential development to aspects of sustainability, drawing on a range of survey evidence in Bristol and Swansea. The residents are fre... Read More about City centre regeneration through residential development: Contributing to sustainability.

A mathematical morphology approach to image based 3D particle shape analysis (2005)
Journal Article

Angularity is a critically important property in terms of the performance of natural particulate materials. It is also one of the most difficult to measure objectively using traditional methods. Here we present an innovative and efficient approach to... Read More about A mathematical morphology approach to image based 3D particle shape analysis.

A novel, disposable, screen-printed amperometric biosensor for glucose in serum fabricated using a water-based carbon ink (2005)
Journal Article

Screen-printed amperometric glucose biosensors have been fabricated using a water-based carbon ink. The enzyme glucose oxidase (GOD) and the electrocatalyst cobalt phthalocyanine were mixed with the carbon ink prior to the screen-printing process; th...

Modelling the human rhesus proteins: Implications for structure and function (2005)
Journal Article

The mammalian rhesus (Rh) proteins that carry the Rh blood group antigens of red blood cells are related to the ammonium channel (Amt) proteins found in both pro- and eukaryotes. However, despite their clinical importance the structure of the Rh anti... Read More about Modelling the human rhesus proteins: Implications for structure and function.

Stretched to the limit? The impact of Local Public Service Agreements on service improvements and central local relations (2005)
Journal Article

Local Public Service Agreements (LPSAs) are one of a member of policy instruments introduced by New Labour to facilitate service improvement in local government. Situating LPSAs in debates about central-local relationshp, this paper examines their im... Read More about Stretched to the limit? The impact of Local Public Service Agreements on service improvements and central local relations.

Impacts of stress on estimation performance in Hong Kong (2005)
Journal Article

Cost estimation not only requires precise technical and analytical input from estimators but also involves the use of subjective judgement. An investigation on the impact of stress on estimation performance was conducted involving 177 professional es... Read More about Impacts of stress on estimation performance in Hong Kong.

Fault analysis in four-wire distribution networks (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The neutral wire in most existing power flow and fault analysis software is usually merged into phase wires using Kron's reduction method. In some applications, such as fault analysis, fault location, power quality studies, safety analysis, loss anal... Read More about Fault analysis in four-wire distribution networks.
