Regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation by β-catenin/T-cell factor signaling involves modulation of cyclin D1 and p21 expression (2006)
Journal Article

We previously observed that stimulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation with growth factors is associated with dismantling of cadherin junctions and nuclear translocation of β-catenin. In this study we demonstrate directly that gr...

Some effects of nitrogen nutrition on caesium uptake and translocation by species in the Poaceae, Asteraceae and Caryophyllidae (2006)
Journal Article

There is current interest in managing and manipulating 137Cs transfer from soil to plants. We hypothesized that N source might affect Cs uptake by plants and report experiments that confirm this. Uptake experiments using hydroponics with a variety of...

The modelling of roundness in cylindrical plunge grinding to incorporate wave shift and external vibration effects (2006)
Journal Article

An elastic model has been developed which predicts the roundness profiles generated in cylindrical plunge grinding. The model considers two sources of error, which are run-out of the grinding wheel and an external vibration. Comparisons are made with...

An evaluative case study of the dilemmas experienced in designing a self-assessment strategy for community nursing students (2006)
Journal Article

The Dearing Report's (1997) radical proposals challenged lecturers in higher education to develop innovative assessment strategies. This paper explores the dilemmas experienced by one teaching team in designing and implementing a student self-assessm...
