Chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity to the bone marrow microenvironment (2013)
Journal Article
The bone marrow (BM) microenvironment is largely com- prised of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and is vital in supporting haematopoiesis. Limited studies have indicated that the BM microenvironment is damaged by chemotherapy; however the extent and...

Effects of bone marrow stromal cells on sensitivity of leukaemic cells to chemotherapy (2013)
Journal Article
Cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) is a key chemotherapy drug used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), however, ap- proximately 30% of patients do not respond to this therapy. 92 An evaluative assay to determine resistance/sensitivity to ara- C prior...

Point of care monitoring of hemodialysis patients with a breath ammonia measurement device based on printed polyaniline nanoparticle sensors (2013)
Journal Article
A device for measuring human breath ammonia was developed based on a single use, disposable, inkjet printed ammonia sensor fabricated using polyaniline nanoparticles. The device was optimized for sampling ammonia in human breath samples by addressing...

A case study in serendipity: Environmental researchers use of traditional and social media for dissemination (2013)
Journal Article
In the face of demands for researchers to engage more actively with a wider range of publics and to capture different kinds of research impacts and engagements, we explored the ways a small number of environmental researchers use traditional and soci...

RIM1α SUMOylation is required for fast synaptic vesicle exocytosis (2013)
Journal Article
The rapid, activity-dependent quantal presynaptic release of neurotransmitter is vital for brain function. The complex process of vesicle priming, fusion, and retrieval is very precisely controlled and requires thespatiotemporal coordination of multi...

Values associated with public involvement in health and social care research: A narrative review (2013)
Journal Article
© 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Background: Much has been written about public involvement (PI) in health and social care research, but underpinning values are rarely made explicit despite the potential for these to have significant influence on the...

Connecting spiking neurons to a spiking memristor network changes the memristor dynamics (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Memristors have been suggested as neuromorphic computing elements. Spike-time dependent plasticity and the Hodgkin-Huxley model of the neuron have both been modelled effectively by memristor theory. The d.c. response of the memristor is a current... Read More about Connecting spiking neurons to a spiking memristor network changes the memristor dynamics.
Voltammetric behaviour of hydrogen peroxide at a silver electrode fabricated from a rewritable digital versatile disc (DVD) and its determination in water samples (2013)
Journal Article
In this study we investigated the possibility of applying Ag electrodes manufactured from recordable rewritable digital versatile discs (DVD-RW) for the voltammetric determination of hydrogen peroxide. The calibration plot was linear from 0.087 mM to...

Does increase in DNA repair allow "Tolerance-to-Insult" in chemical carcinogenesis? Skin tumor experiments with MGMT-overexpressing mice (2013)
Journal Article
Several genotoxicity endpoints have been evaluated to define nonlinear dose-responses for S N 1 and S N 2 alkylating genotoxicants. Dose-response studies acknowledging the process of multistage tumorigenesis are important; however, data pertaining no...

The rulB gene of plasmid pWW0 is a hotspot for the site-specific insertion of integron-like elements found in the chromosomes of environmental Pseudomonas fluorescens group bacteria (2013)
Journal Article
Summary: The rulAB operon of Pseudomonas spp. confers fitness traits on the host and has been suggested to be a hotspot for insertion of mobile elements that carry avirulence genes. Here, for the first time, we show that rulB on plasmid pWW0 is a hot...

Online courses and social responsibility toward learners (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
When we develop and validate traditional degree programmes great emphasis is placed on ensuring that applicants meet entry criteria for enrolment, and that students gain a quality experience to reach their academic and employment potential. If a stud... Read More about Online courses and social responsibility toward learners.

Validation study to compare effects of processing protocols on measured Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine and Nε-(carboxyethyl) lysine in blood (2013)
Journal Article
Epidemiological studies show that elevated plasma levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are associated with diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease. Thus AGEs have been used as disease progression markers. However, the effects of varia...

A Pseudomonas syringae diversity survey reveals a differentiated phylotype of the pathovar syringae associated with the mango host and mangotoxin production (2013)
Journal Article
Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, the causal agent of bacterial apical necrosis (BAN) in mango crops, has been isolated in different mango-producing areas worldwide. An extensive collection of 87 P. syringae pv. syringae strains isolated from mango...
