Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours (1996)
Journal Article
Honeybourne, C. L., Ewen, R. J., De Lacy Costello, B. P., de Lacy Costello, B., Evans, P., Ewen, R., …Ratcliffe, N. M. (1996). Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 6(3), 289-294. https://doi.org/10.1039/JM9960600289

Composites of tin dioxide (an n-type semiconductor) and derivatives of the conducting polymer polypyrrole (a p-type semiconductor) gave reversible changes in electrical resistance at room temperature when exposed to a range of organic vapours. The op... Read More about Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours.

Electrorheological properties of polypyrrole prepared by the action of mineral acids on pyrrole (1996)
Journal Article
Teare, G. C., Teare, G. C., & Ratcliffe, N. M. (1996). Electrorheological properties of polypyrrole prepared by the action of mineral acids on pyrrole. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 6(3), 301-304. https://doi.org/10.1039/jm9960600301

Polypyrrole was prepared in high yield by the polymerisation of pyrrole in strongly acidic conditions using hydrofluoric, hydrochloric (at 20°C and 100°C), hydrobromic, nitric and orthophosphoric acids. The polymer products incorporated significant a... Read More about Electrorheological properties of polypyrrole prepared by the action of mineral acids on pyrrole.

Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins (1996)
Journal Article
Sommerville, J., & Ladomery, M. (1996). Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins. Chromosoma, 104(7), 469-478. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00352111

Gametogenesis is directed by various specialized genetic mechanisms which, to a considerable extent, apply to the production of both eggs and sperm and have been conserved across a wide spectrum of eukaryotic organisms. Two key aspects which are disc... Read More about Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins.

Synthesis and gas sensing properties of poly[tetra(pyrrol-1-yl)silane] (1996)
Journal Article
Campbell, S. A., Smith, J. R., Evans, P., Smith, J., Ratcliffe, N. M., & Campbell, S. (1996). Synthesis and gas sensing properties of poly[tetra(pyrrol-1-yl)silane]. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 6(3), 295-299. https://doi.org/10.1039/jm9960600295

Conducting polymers such as polypyrrole and polythiophene offer a new approach to the design of modified electrodes and sensors. In the current work, the electrochemical and chemical polymerisation of tetra(pyrrol-1-yl)silane is described. Resultant...

Evidence for the growth of Plasmodiophora brassicae in vitro (1996)
Journal Article
Arnold, D. L., Arnold, D. L., Blakesley, D., & Clarkson, J. M. (1996). Evidence for the growth of Plasmodiophora brassicae in vitro. Mycological Research, 100(5), 535-540. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0953-7562%2896%2980005-0

Plasmodiophora brassicae is a root-invading pathogen that causes club root disease of brassica crops. Although generally regarded as an obligate biotroph, a number of reports over the last century have suggested that the organism may have a free livi...

Specific oligonucleotide primers for the identification of Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi yield one of two possible DNA fragments by PCR amplification: evidence for phylogenetic divergence (1996)
Journal Article
Vivian, A., Taylor, J. D., Arnold, D. L., Arnold, D. L., Athey-Pollard, A., Gibbon, M. J., …Vivian, A. (1996). Specific oligonucleotide primers for the identification of Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi yield one of two possible DNA fragments by PCR amplification: evidence for phylogenetic divergence. Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology, 49(4), 233-245. https://doi.org/10.1006/pmpp.1996.0051

Two unique DNA fragments, generated by RAPD-PCR, were used as probes against dot-blots of representative isolates of the seven races of pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi. DNA from each isolate hybridized only to one of the two probes. Fragments identifie...
