Three-dimensional spheroid cultures of A549 and HepG2 cells exhibit different lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor expression and LPS-induced cytokine response compared with monolayer cultures (2011)
Journal Article

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent modulator of pathogen-induced host inflammatory responses. Lipopolysaccharide signaling to host cells is correlated with the expression of well-characterized LPS receptors. We have developed three-dimensional (3-D...

Migration and "low-skilled" workers in destination countries (2011)
Journal Article

Summary Points The last few decades have seen substantial increases in the migration of migrant workers, raising concerns about the health implications of these movements. In destination countries, migrant workers often fill undesirable, low-skil... Read More about Migration and "low-skilled" workers in destination countries.

Nonparametric Regression on a Graph (2011)
Journal Article

The 'Signal plus Noise' model for nonparametric regression can be extended to the case of observations taken at the vertices of a graph. This model includes many familiar regression problems. This article discusses the use of the edges of a graph to... Read More about Nonparametric Regression on a Graph.

Planning for sustainable urban areas or everyday life and inclusion (2011)

Language dominance in Turkish-German bilinguals: Methodological aspects of measurements in structurally different languages (2011)
Journal Article

The purpose of this study is to establish measures of language dominance in bilinguals who speak structurally different languages, in our case German and Turkish, with tools that are based on fluency and oral proficiency. A 'balanced' bilingual with... Read More about Language dominance in Turkish-German bilinguals: Methodological aspects of measurements in structurally different languages.

Integrating natural and social science perspectives on plant disease risk, management and policy formulation (2011)
Journal Article

Plant diseases threaten both food security and the botanical diversity of natural ecosystems. Substantial research effort is focused on pathogen detection and control, with detailed risk management available for many plant diseases. Risk can be asses...

Effects of earthing systems on stray current for corrosion and safety behaviour in practical metro systems (2011)
Journal Article

Running rails are used as the return path for the train current in most DC electrified rail transit systems. The resultant rail voltage causes stray current to return to the DC supply source via other paths, such as nearby metallic infrastructure. St...

The effects of session length on demand functions generated using FR schedules (2011)
Journal Article

In comparing open and closed economies, researchers often arrange shorter sessions under the former condition than under the latter. Several studies indicate that session length per se can affect performance and there are some data that indicate that...

Some practical comparisons of the efficiency and overloading behaviour of sub-2μm porous and sub-3μm shell particles in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (2011)
Journal Article

At their optimum flow, sub-3 μm superficially porous or " shell" particles demonstrate similar efficiency to sub-2 μm totally porous particles. The performance of 0.21. cm i.d shell columns is however inferior to those of 0.46. cm i.d., presumably du...
