Journal Article
Avila, E. L., Brown, M., Pan, S., Desikan, R., Neill, S., Girke, T., …Raikhel, N. V. (2008). Expression analysis of Arabidopsis vacuolar sorting receptor 3 reveals a putative function in guard cells. Journal of Experimental Botany, 59(6), 1149-1161. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ern025

Vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs) are responsible for the proper targeting of soluble cargo proteins to their destination compartments. The Arabidopsis genome encodes seven VSRs. In this work, the spatio-temporal expression of one of the members of t... Read More about Expression analysis of Arabidopsis vacuolar sorting receptor 3 reveals a putative function in guard cells.

Evidence that science is becoming increasingly embedded in culture comes from the proliferation of discourses of ethical consumption, sustainability, and environmental awareness. Al Gore's recent award, along with UN's Inter-governmental Panel on Cli... Read More about Making sense scientific claims in advertising. A study of scientifically aware consumers.

Phylogeny and growth strategy as predictors of differences in cobalt concentrations between plant species (2008)

Analyses reported here quantify the contribution of plant phylogeny and plant growth strategy to soil-to-plant transfer of Co. Estimated relative mean (ERM) Co concentrations in shoots of 241 species of flowering plant were derived using a residual m...

Tongue biofilm areal density and tongue coating index (2008)
Journal Article
Saad, S., & Greenman, J. (2008). Tongue biofilm areal density and tongue coating index. Journal of Breath Research, 2(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/2/1/017008

Two methods have been employed to measure the amount of tongue biofilm in humans: (1) areal density of microbes (cfu cm-2) (tongue scrape from a known/measured area), or (2) a tongue-coating index, where a human judge assesses the amount of 'coating'...

Modelling oral malodour from a tongue biofilm (2008)
Journal Article
Hess, J., Greenman, J., & Duffield, J. (2008). Modelling oral malodour from a tongue biofilm. Journal of Breath Research, 2(1), 017003. https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/2/1/017003

A new model about the genesis of malodour emanating from the tongue is introduced. A new approach uses mathematical formulae to combine existing empirical knowledge and bring it into context. The resulting description of halitosis includes the three-... Read More about Modelling oral malodour from a tongue biofilm.

Tonsil T cell immunity to human papillomavirus in the absence of detectable virus in healthy adults (2008)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is known to infect the epithelium of the upper aerodigestive tract; however, major questions regarding prevalence and persistence of infection, and their relation to local immune response, remain unanswered. OBJ... Read More about Tonsil T cell immunity to human papillomavirus in the absence of detectable virus in healthy adults.

An ascorbic acid sensor was fabricated via the drop-casting of dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid (DBSA)-doped polyaniline nanoparticles onto a screen-printed carbon-paste electrode. The modified electrode was characterised with respect to the numbers of... Read More about The application of conducting polymer nanoparticle electrodes to the sensing of ascorbic acid.

The biology and conservation of the fish assemblage of the Severn Estuary (cSAC) (2008)
Journal Article
Bird, D. J. (2008). The biology and conservation of the fish assemblage of the Severn Estuary (cSAC)

The Severn Estuary is the second largest estuary in the UK and has been designated a cSAC because it contains habitat types and species that are rare or threatened in Europe, including the anadromous river and sea lampreys and the twaite and allis sh...

To what extent are hepatic concentrations of heavy metals in Anguilla anguilla at a site in a contaminated estuary related to body size and age and reflected in the metallothionein concentrations? (2008)
Journal Article
Bird, D. J., Rotchell, J. M., Hesp, S. A., Newton, L. C., Hall, N. G., & Potter, I. C. (2008). To what extent are hepatic concentrations of heavy metals in Anguilla anguilla at a site in a contaminated estuary related to body size and age and reflected in the metallothionein concentrations?. Environmental Pollution, 151(3), 641-651. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2007.03.018

We explored how hepatic [metal]s in Anguilla anguilla at a contaminated estuarine site are influenced by body size, age and season, and the extent that [Cu], [Cd] and [Zn]s are reflected in [metallothionein (MT)]s. Although each [metal] and [MT] incr...
