Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137 (2005)
Journal Article

For 134/137Cs, and many other soil contaminants, research into transfer to plants has focused on particular crops and phytoremediation candidates, producing uptake data for a small proportion of all plant taxa. Despite the significance of differences... Read More about Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137.

Proteomic identification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as an inhibitory target of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis (2005)
Journal Article

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is now recognised as a key signalling molecule in eukaryotes. In plants, H2O2 is involved in regulating stomatal closure, gravitropic responses, gene expression and programmed cell death. Although several kinases, such as oxi...

Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis (2005)
Journal Article

This paper describes a novel approach for two- and three-dimensional surface data capture from moving surfaces based upon an evolution of the existing photometric stereo (PS) technique. Limitations in current methods are described, together with the... Read More about Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis.

Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2005)
Journal Article

We experimentally demonstrate that excitation wave-fragments in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) medium with immobilised catalyst can be used to build elementary logical gates and circuits. Following our previous theoretical constructions [Adamatzky A. Co... Read More about Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium.

Encouraging 'environmental action' by exhortation: Evidence from a study in Devon (2005)
Journal Article

National and local campaigns to encourage 'Environmental Action' use a range of media to increase the levels of activities such as recycling, energy saving and water conservation. These are conventionally focused on the population as a whole. The res... Read More about Encouraging 'environmental action' by exhortation: Evidence from a study in Devon.

Some issues regarding spectral element meshes for moving journal bearing systems (2005)
Journal Article

This paper concerns the modelling of dynamically loaded journal bearing systems using a moving spectral element method. The moving grid method employed in this paper is the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. The ALE methodology is compared w...

Myosin Va transports dense core secretory vesicles in pancreatic MIN6 β-cells (2005)
Journal Article

The role of unconventional myosins in neuroendocrine cells is not fully understood, with involvement suggested in the movement of both secretory vesicles and mitochondria. Here, we demonstrate colocalization of myosin Va (MyoVa) with insulin in pancr... Read More about Myosin Va transports dense core secretory vesicles in pancreatic MIN6 β-cells.

Surfactant phospholipid DPPC downregulates monocyte respiratory burst via modulation of PKC (2005)
Journal Article

Pulmonary surfactant phospholipids have been shown previously to regulate inflammatory functions of human monocytes. This study was undertaken to delineate the mechanisms by which pulmonary surfactant modulates the respiratory burst in a human monocy...

The domination parameters of cubic graphs (2005)
Journal Article

Let ir(G), γ(G), i(G), β0(G), Γ(G) and IR(G) be the irredundance number, the domination number, the independent domination number, the independence number, the upper domination number and the upper irredundance number of a graph G, respectively. In t... Read More about The domination parameters of cubic graphs.

The impact of ideas and time on policy solutions: Maintaining institutional autonomy and the second runway at Manchester Airport (2005)
Journal Article

The important interrelationships between problems, ideas and time mean that there can be several facets to institutional vulnerability. Thus conditions at a moment in time can make an institution open to the introduction of new ideas, but these ideas...

The relationships between objective and subjective ratings of disfigurement severity and psychological adjustment (2005)
Journal Article

The paper explores the impact of disfigurement severity on psychological adjustment, utilising the DAS24 (output 3) to rate subjective severity. Severity was rated objectively by plastic surgeons. The complex findings provide evidence supporting the... Read More about The relationships between objective and subjective ratings of disfigurement severity and psychological adjustment.

Community leadership cycles and the consolidation of neighbourhood coalitions in the new local governance (2005)
Journal Article

The success of the new patterns of local governance depends on engaging communities in a range of partnerships at various geographic scales and administrative levels. In practice, this usually falls to a handful of community leaders in any given loca...

The privatisation of public space? The American experience of business improvement districts and their relationship to local governance (2005)
Journal Article

Legislation is currently in progress to enable Local Authorities to set up Business Improvement Districts (BIDs). These evolved in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s as a response to urban decline and decreasing levels of government funding. Th... Read More about The privatisation of public space?
