Identification of Campylobacter infection in chickens from volatile faecal emissions (2008)
Journal Article
Garner, C. E., Smith, S., Elviss, N. C., Humphrey, T. J., White, P., Ratcliffe, N. M., & Probert, C. S. (2008). Identification of Campylobacter infection in chickens from volatile faecal emissions. Biomarkers, 13(4), 413-421. https://doi.org/10.1080/13547500801966443

Volatile organic compounds from chicken faeces were investigated as biomarkers for Campylobacter infection. Campylobacter are major poultry-borne zoonotic pathogens, colonizing the avian intestinal tract. Chicken faeces are the principal source of co...

Transmission of cocoa swollen shoot virus by seeds (2008)
Journal Article
Quainoo, A. K., Wetten, A. C., & Allainguillaume, J. (2008). Transmission of cocoa swollen shoot virus by seeds. Journal of Virological Methods, 150(1-2), 45-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jviromet.2008.03.009

A study was undertaken to determine whether cocoa swollen shoot virus is transmitted by seeds, to improve the robustness of quarantine procedures for international exchange and long term conservation of cocoa germplasm. PCR/capillary electrophoresis,... Read More about Transmission of cocoa swollen shoot virus by seeds.

Estimation of the extent of the water-rich layer associated with the silica surface in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (2008)
Journal Article
McCalley, D. V., & Neue, U. D. (2008). Estimation of the extent of the water-rich layer associated with the silica surface in hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Journal of Chromatography A, 1192(2), 225-229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2008.03.049

The possible presence of a mobile phase layer rich in water on the surface of silica columns used under conditions typical in hydrophilic interaction chromatography was investigated by the injection of a small hydrophobic solute (benzene) using aceto...

Stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry and physical comparison for the forensic examination of grip-seal plastic bags (2008)
Journal Article
Taylor, E., Carter, J. F., Hill, J. C., Morton, C., Daeid, N. N., & Sleeman, R. (2008). Stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry and physical comparison for the forensic examination of grip-seal plastic bags. Forensic Science International, 177(2-3), 214-220. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2008.01.006

Plastic bags are frequently used to package drugs, explosives and other contraband. There exists, therefore, a requirement in forensic casework to compare bags found at different locations. This is currently achieved almost exclusively by the use of... Read More about Stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry and physical comparison for the forensic examination of grip-seal plastic bags.

Regulatory control of human cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferase by oxidation and S-glutathionylation and its interactions with redox sensitive neuronal proteins (2008)
Journal Article
Conway, M. E., Coles, S. J., Islam, M. M., & Hutson, S. M. (2008). Regulatory control of human cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferase by oxidation and S-glutathionylation and its interactions with redox sensitive neuronal proteins. Biochemistry, 47(19), 5465-5479. https://doi.org/10.1021/bi800303h

Redox regulation of proteins through oxidation and S-thiolation are important regulatory processes, acting in both a protective and adaptive role in the cell. In the current study, we investigated the sensitivity of the neuronal human cytosolic branc...

Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium (2008)
Journal Article
Hill, A. A., & Straughan, B. (2008). Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 603, 137-149. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112008000852

This paper numerically investigates the instability of Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium saturated with the same fluid. A three-layer configuration is adopted. Namely, a Newtonian fluid overlying a Brinkman porous transition layer,... Read More about Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium.
