A study of methods for evaluating the integrity of plate type heat exchangers used in the dairy industry (2007)
Journal Article

An overview of leak testing methods for heat exchangers is presented. The problems associated with the presence of residual liquid during testing were assessed as it was shown experimentally that complete drainage of plate type heat exchangers is ver...

"User involvement is a sine qua non, almost, in medical education": Learning with rather than just about health and social care service users (2007)
Journal Article

Despite the General Medical Council emphasising the value of service users to medical students' education, there is scant literature about service user involvement in medical education. Although some research has outlined the effectiveness of service...

Relationship between carcass weight, adipose tissue androstenone level and expression of the hepatic 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in entire commercial pigs (2007)
Journal Article

Boar taint is a major meat-quality defect in pigs and is due to excessive accumulation of skatole and androstenone in adipose tissue. The present work investigated the relationship between carcass weight, levels of skatole and androstenone in adipose...

Doctors being up there and we being down here: A metaphorical analysis of talk about student/doctor-patient relationships (2007)
Journal Article

This paper describes the metaphorical conceptualisations of student/doctor-patient relationships, as articulated by multiple stakeholders in healthcare. Eight focus group discussions with 19 patients, 13 medical students and 15 medical educators (com...

Paramagnetic particle detection for use with an immunoassay based biosensor (2007)
Journal Article

A biosensor and detection system that can provide measurement of analyte concentration within a test sample in four minutes is presented. The biosensor uses an immunoassay with micrometre-sized paramagnetic particle (PMP) labels for quantification. A...

Fluorescence analysis of dissolved organic matter in natural, waste and polluted waters - A review (2007)
Journal Article

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems originates from a range of sources. Some is allochthonous, transported from the surrounding landscape to the water body, and is derived from and influenced by the geology, land use and hydrology of it...

Assessment of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ by measuring structural changes of supercoiled DNA (2007)
Journal Article

A method for the measurement of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ in aquatic environments is proposed. It is based on the quantitative measurement on the shape change of the supercoiled DNA after it is contacted with different levels of Cu2+ for various... Read More about Assessment of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ by measuring structural changes of supercoiled DNA.

Alternative splicing in angiogenesis: The vascular endothelial growth factor paradigm (2007)
Journal Article

Alternative splicing, first discovered in the 1970s, has emerged as one of the key generators of proteomic diversity. Not surprisingly, alternative splicing is increasingly linked to the etiology of cancer. This is illustrated by vascular endothelial...

Development of a novel electrochemical immuno-assay using a screen printed electrode for the determination of secretory immunoglobulin A in human sweat (2007)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the steps involved in the development of a novel electrochemical immunoassay for secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) determinations in human sweat. This novel immunoassay involves an initial step whereby sweat sIgA is adsorbed ont...

A novel branched-chain amino acid metabolon: Protein-protein interactions in a supramolecular complex (2007)
Journal Article

The catabolic pathways of branched-chain amino acids have two common steps. The first step is deamination catalyzed by the vitamin B6-dependent branched-chain aminotransferase isozymes (BCATs) to produce branched-chain α-keto acids (BCKAs). The secon...

Voltammetric behaviour of DNA bases at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its application to a simple and rapid voltammetric method for the determination of oxidative damage in double stranded DNA (2007)
Journal Article

Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been investigated as possible sensors to identify γ-irradiation induced oxidative damage in double stranded (ds) DNA. Studies were undertaken to explore the possibility of using both cyclic voltammetry an...

Assessing the failure of a community-based human-wildlife conflict mitigation project in Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda (2007)
Journal Article

Primate crop raiding is a major cause of human-wildlife conflict around the forests of western Uganda. In an attempt to ameliorate the situation a conflict mitigation strategy was established in villages around the Budongo Forest Reserve in 2001. Liv...

Nitric oxide, stomatal closure and abiotic stress (2007)
Journal Article

Various data indicate that nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous signal in plants that mediates responses to several stimuli. Experimental evidence in support of such signalling roles for NO has been obtained via the application of NO (usually in the fo... Read More about Nitric oxide, stomatal closure and abiotic stress.

Breed-associated variations in the sequence of the pig 3β- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene (2007)
Journal Article

The entire sequence of the pig 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) gene has recently become known. This gene is deemed to be important in androstenone metabolism in pig liver, and its defective expression has been shown to be related to androste...
