Use of airborne remote sensing to detect riverside Brassica rapa to aid in risk assessment of transgenic crops (2009)
Journal Article

High resolution descriptions of plant distribution have utility for many ecological applications but are especially useful for predictive modeling of gene flow from transgenic crops. Difficulty lies in the extrapolation errors that occur when limited... Read More about Use of airborne remote sensing to detect riverside Brassica rapa to aid in risk assessment of transgenic crops.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase protein expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue is reduced in pigs selected for decreased backfat thickness at constant intramuscular fat content (2009)
Journal Article

The objectives of this study were 1) to determine whether selection toward less subcutaneous fat thickness at constant intramuscular fat content in pigs is related to tissue-specific changes in the expression of lipogenic enzymes acetyl-CoA carboxyla...

A novel in vitro flat-bed perfusion biofilm model for determining the potential antimicrobial efficacy of topical wound treatments (2009)
Journal Article

Aims: To develop an in vitro flat-bed perfusion biofilm model that could be used to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of topically applied treatments. Methods and Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms were grown within...

Often overlooked: formative evaluation in the development of ScienceComics (2009)
Journal Article

Formative evaluation should play a key role in the development of a science communication project or initiative. Such research is vital to understanding the needs and interests of the audience or participants; meeting these needs and interests helps...

P19 H-ras induces G1/S phase delay maintaining cells in a reversible quiescence state (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Three functional c-ras genes, known as c-H-ras, c-K-ras, and c-N-ras, have been largely studied in mammalian cells with important insights into normal and tumorigenic cellular signal transduction events. Two K-Ras mRNAs are obtained from... Read More about P19 H-ras induces G1/S phase delay maintaining cells in a reversible quiescence state.

Impaired maintenance of naturally acquired T-cell memory to the meningococcus in patients with B-cell immunodeficiency (2009)
Journal Article

The importance of T cells in the generation of antigen-specific B-cell immunity has been extensively described, but the role B cells play in shaping T-cell memory is uncertain. In healthy controls, exposure to Neisseria meningitidis in the upper resp...

A pilot study of faecal volatile organic compounds in faeces from cholera patients in Bangladesh to determine their utility in disease diagnosis (2009)
Journal Article

The aim of this pilot study was to analyse the volatile organic compounds in faecal samples collected from cholera patients in Bangladesh to determine biomarkers that could be used for disease diagnosis. Samples were collected from patients at the In...

Analysis of faecal volatile organic compounds in preterm infants who develop necrotising enterocolitis: A pilot study (2009)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE:: To determine differences in the profiles of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in faecal samples from preterm infants who develop necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) compared with non-NEC controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: Daily faecal samples... Read More about Analysis of faecal volatile organic compounds in preterm infants who develop necrotising enterocolitis: A pilot study.
