Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella (2009)
Journal Article

Free-living microbivorous helminths that consume pathogenic bacteria could offer an environmental refuge for those pathogens and also, in the case of accidental ingestion, could transmit food-borne pathogens to humans and livestock. We tested this hy... Read More about Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella.

A differential constraint approach to obtain global stability for radiation-induced double-diffusive convection in a porous medium (2009)
Journal Article

The stability of double-diffusive porous convection with a concentration-based internal heat source is studied. Owing to the significant sensitivity of standard energy method, a highly desirable reduction in the number of required coupling parameters...

Best practice in communications training for public engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (2009)
Journal Article

Effective training in key communications skills is critical for successful public engagement. However, what are the secrets to designing and delivering an effectual training course? This paper outlines key findings from a research study into communic...

Fungal elicitor Pep-25 increases cytosolic calcium ions, H 2O2 production and activates the octadecanoid pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana (2009)
Journal Article

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing the protein aequorin were used to investigate the transient change in cytosolic calcium ions caused by stimulation through the fungal elicitor Pep-25. Our results show that the elicitor Pep-25 derived...

Practical assessment of frictional heating effects and thermostat design on the performance of conventional (3 μm and 5 μm) columns in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (2009)
Journal Article

A practical investigation of frictional heating effects in conventional C18 columns was undertaken, to investigate whether problems found for sub-2 μm columns were also present for those of particle size 3 μm and 5 μm and different internal diameter....

Hospital-at-home care for exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: An observational cohort study of patients managed in hospital or by nurse practitioners in the community (2009)
Journal Article

The Urgent Care Team (UCT) in Sunderland (pop. 293,000) is a unique nurse practitioner service operating a hospital at home 24/7/365 to deal promptly with patients suffering an exacerbation of their COPD (AECOPD). Treatment is according to patient gr...
