The role of satellite image-processing for national-scale estimates of gene flow from genetically modified crops: Rapeseed in the UK as a model (2004)
Journal Article
1. There is concern over the possibility of unwanted environmental change following transgene movement from genetically modified (GM) rapeseed Brassica napus to its wild and weedy relatives. 2. The aim of this research was to develop a remote sensing...

The pig CYP2E1 promoter is activated by COUP-TF1 and HNF-1 and is inhibited by androstenone (2004)
Journal Article
Functional analysis of the pig cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) promoter identified two major activating elements. One corresponded to the hepatic nuclear factor 1 (HNF-1) consensus binding sequence at nucleotides -128/-98 and the other was located in the...

p16INK4a polymorphism: Associations with tumour progression in patients with sporadic colorectal cancer (2004)
Journal Article
Deregulated tumour expression of p16INK4a has previously been described in association with clinical progression in sporadic colorectal cancer patients (CRC). Furthermore, p16INK4a promoter hypermethylation leading to gene silencing has been shown to...

Fundamental subchondral bone changes in spontaneous knee osteoarthritis (2004)
Journal Article
Osteoarthritis has an unknown aetiology, and tissue samples from early stage human osteoarthritis tissue cannot be reliably obtained. Therefore understanding the development of OA relies on using animal models: such as the spontaneous changes seen in...

Sub-lethal effects of metal exposure: Physiological and behavioural responses of the estuarine bivalve Macoma balthica (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Variation in glycogen concentration, condition index (CI) and filtration activity were measured in the bivalve Macoma balthica buried in sediment and experimentally exposed to cadmium (Cd). The stress due to elevated but sub-lethal concentrations (30... Read More about Sub-lethal effects of metal exposure: Physiological and behavioural responses of the estuarine bivalve Macoma balthica.
A screen-printed, amperometric, biosensor array for the detection of organophosphate pesticides based on inhibition of wild type, and mutant acetylcholinesterases, from Drosophila melanogaster (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) modified with cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) have been used as base transducers in the construction of amperometric pesticide biosensors. Six individual biosensors were fabricated by depositing wildtype (WT) ace...

Penetrative convection induced by the absorption of radiation with a nonlinear internal heat source (2004)
Journal Article
A model for convection induced by the selective absorption of radiation in a fluid layer is investigated. The concentration based internal heat source is modelled quadratically. A linear analysis and conditional nonlinear analysis are performed. Due... Read More about Penetrative convection induced by the absorption of radiation with a nonlinear internal heat source.
DNA microarray screening of differential gene expression in bone marrow samples from AML, non-AML patients and AML cell lines (2004)
Journal Article
This study used cDNA microarray technology to compare gene expression profiles in acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) with cDNA dot-blot and real time PCR analysis of cDNA transcripts to confirm array data. Patient AML marrow samples and AML cell line... Read More about DNA microarray screening of differential gene expression in bone marrow samples from AML, non-AML patients and AML cell lines.
Roles for cysteine residues in the regulatory CXXC motif of human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase enzyme (2004)
Journal Article
The redox-active dithiol/disulfide C315-Xaa-Xaa-C318 center has been implicated in the regulation of the human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase isozyme (hBCATm) [Conway, M. E., Yennawar, N., Wallin, R., Poole, L. B., and Hutson, S. M. (2...

Effect of buffer on peak shape of peptides in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (2004)
Journal Article
The effect of changing the buffer at constant low pH in the mobile phase is investigated with respect to the separation of a mixture of basic peptides. Considerably worse peak shapes, leading to poorer resolution of complex peptide mixtures, were obt...

Doubling the estimate of invertebrate biomass in a rainforest canopy (2004)
Journal Article
Forest canopies represent the functional interface between 90% of the Earth's terrestrial biomass and the atmosphere and include some of the most threatened of all terrestrial ecosystems. However, we lack even a basic understanding of how the biomass... Read More about Doubling the estimate of invertebrate biomass in a rainforest canopy.
Experimental implementation of mobile robot taxis with onboard Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical medium (2004)
Journal Article
We discuss the first-ever experimental realization of the onboard excitable chemical controller for stimulus-guided navigation of mobile robots. We demonstrate that the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction in the form of an onboard thin layer chemical...
