Fungal elicitor Pep-25 increases cytosolic calcium ions, H 2O2 production and activates the octadecanoid pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana (2009)
Journal Article

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing the protein aequorin were used to investigate the transient change in cytosolic calcium ions caused by stimulation through the fungal elicitor Pep-25. Our results show that the elicitor Pep-25 derived...

Practical assessment of frictional heating effects and thermostat design on the performance of conventional (3 μm and 5 μm) columns in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (2009)
Journal Article

A practical investigation of frictional heating effects in conventional C18 columns was undertaken, to investigate whether problems found for sub-2 μm columns were also present for those of particle size 3 μm and 5 μm and different internal diameter....

Irradiation applications in vegetables and fruits: A review (2009)
Journal Article

There is an increasing trend both in advanced countries and many developing countries to centrally process fresh fruits and vegetables, properly packaged, for distribution and marketing. Irradiation technology proved to be effective in reducing post-... Read More about Irradiation applications in vegetables and fruits: A review.

Stochastic and deterministic processes jointly structure tropical arthropod communities (2009)
Journal Article

The question of whether ecological assemblages are structured by stochastic and deterministic (e.g. interspecific competition) processes is controversial, but it is difficult to design sampling regimes and experiments that can dissect the relative im...

Spot test: new technologies bring point-of-care testing into the 21st century (2009)
Journal Article

Every new technology offers the potential to effect changes in practise; many developments driven by the world-wide demand for instant results. This is never as true as in the arena of diagnostic testing. Once the sole preserve of the hospital labo...

A new approach to the determination of column overload characteristics in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (2009)
Journal Article

Column overloading is very common during the separations of basic analytes in analytical scale reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). Due to the complex interactions of ionic analytes with stationary and mobile phases, only a very small amount...

Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media (2009)
Journal Article

Spontaneous spiral formation occurs when an excitation wave is input to a heterogeneous network of low- and high-light-intensity cells projected onto a light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The range of network conditions where spirals form... Read More about Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media.

Defining issue-based publics for public engagement: Climate change as a case study (2009)
Journal Article

Understanding your audiences' perceptions is key to the success of any communication campaign. This research note outlines a pilot study using the Situational Model of publics to segment the broader public. Focus groups were used to study publics' un...

Cholinergic modulation of spontaneous activity in bladder strips from the diabetic rat: Effect of the mucosa (2009)
Journal Article

Absence of mucosal immunity in the human upper respiratory tract to the commensal bacteria Neisseria lactamica but not pathogenic Neisseria meningitidis during the peak age of nasopharyngeal carriage (2009)
Journal Article

The normal flora that colonizes the mucosal epithelia has evolved diverse strategies to evade, modulate, or suppress the immune system and avoid clearance. Neisseria lactamica and Neisseria meningitidis are closely related obligate inhabitants of the...

The neuroprotective action of the mood stabilizing drugs lithium chloride and sodium valproate is mediated through the up-regulation of the homeodomain protein Six1 (2009)
Journal Article

The mood stabilizing agents lithium chloride (LiCl) and sodium valproate (VPA) have recently gained interest as potential neuroprotective therapeutics. However, exploitation of these therapeutic applications is hindered by both a lack of molecular un...

Application of screen-printed microband biosensors to end-point measurements of glucose and cell numbers in HepG2 cell culture (2009)
Journal Article

Microband glucose biosensors were produced by insulating and sectioning through a screen-printed, water-based carbon electrode containing cobalt phthalocyanine redox mediator and glucose oxidase enzyme. Under quiescent conditions at 37 °C, at an oper... Read More about Application of screen-printed microband biosensors to end-point measurements of glucose and cell numbers in HepG2 cell culture.

Electricity from landfill leachate using microbial fuel cells: Comparison with a biological aerated filter (2009)
Journal Article

Four experimental columns were employed in this study to investigate their performance under wastewater treatment conditions. One column was set-up as a biological aerated filter and the remaining three were set-up as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), two...

Implementation of glider guns in the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2009)
Journal Article

In cellular automata models a glider gun is an oscillating pattern of nonquiescent states that periodically emits traveling localizations (gliders). The glider streams can be combined to construct functionally complete systems of logical gates and th...

Anisotropy and symmetry in porous media convection (2009)
Journal Article

The linear and nonlinear stability analysis of the motionless state (conduction solution) and of a vertical throughflow in an anisotropic porous medium is performed. In particular, the effect of a nonhomogeneous porosity and a constant anisotropic th... Read More about Anisotropy and symmetry in porous media convection.

S-Nitrosoglutathione inactivation of the mitochondrial and cytosolic BCAT proteins: S-nitrosation and S-thiolation (2009)
Journal Article

Specific proteins with reactive thiol(ate) groups are susceptible to nitric oxide (NO) modification, which can result in S-nitrosation, S-thiolation, or disulfide bond formation.
