A formalin-fixed, paraffin-processed cell line standard for quality control of immunohistochemical assay of HER-2/neu expression in breast cancer (2002)
Journal Article

To ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of immunohistochemical assays for determining HER-2/neu status of patients with breast cancer, a reliable standard for monitoring assay sensitivity is necessary. We optimally fixed and paraffin processed hum...

Neuronal organization of the melanin-concentrating hormone system in primitive actinopterygians: Evolutionary changes leading to teleosts (2002)
Journal Article

Hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurones occur in all vertebrates and have an apparent neuromodulatory role. In teleost fish, however, MCH is used also as a neurohypophysial hormone, controlling skin color, and as a hypophysiotrophic...

Particle size characterisation of Holocene back-barrier sequences from North Atlantic coasts (SW Spain and SE England) (2002)
Journal Article

In this paper, we present the results of bivariate plots of grain size parameters (mean against sorting) in the reconstruction of Holocene environmental change in coastal environments where barrier formation has had an important control on sedimentat...

Age associated decline in CD25 and CD28 expression correlate with an increased susceptibility to CD95 mediated apoptosis in T cells (2002)
Journal Article

Immunosenescence is believed to contribute to increase susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancer in the elderly, and is caused mainly by changes in the T cell compartment. Longitudinal studies were undertaken to examine T cell surface receptor...

Voltammetric behavior and trace determination of cadmium at a calixarene modified screen-printed carbon electrode (2002)
Journal Article

Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been evaluated for the anodic stripping voltammetric determination of cadmium using open circuit accumulation facilitated by two different calixarenes: a novel thiolated calixarene, calixarene (I), (5,11,...

'Scholarship is the word that dare not speak its name' lecturers' experiences of teaching on a higher education programme in a further education college (2002)
Journal Article

The article examines provision of higher education within further education institutions from the point of the view of lecturers working on an HE programme. It is based on a small-scale research project carried out by a full-time practitioner/part-ti...

'I want to prove to myself that I can do this!': Risk and uncertainty in the construction of personal biographies for access students (2002)
Journal Article

This paper is a preliminary discussion of research findings from a PhD study that began within UWE’s Education Faculty in September 2001. It will seek to outline provisional thoughts as to how notions of risk and uncertainty are employed in the const...

“Everybody gets one or two chances in life, this is my second!”: Risk and the construction of (mature) students’ biographies (2002)
Journal Article

This article presents preliminary findings from a PhD study that began in September 2001. It seeks to outline provisional thoughts as to how the notion of risk influences the construction of biographies for mature students on an Access course at a Fu...

Correlative changes in metabolism and DNA damage in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (2002)
Journal Article

Juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were injected intraperitonteally with either corn oil or 5 mg/kg benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) dissolved in corn oil and sampled 1 and 3 days after injection. After 1 day, no elevation of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (... Read More about Correlative changes in metabolism and DNA damage in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) exposed to benzo[a]pyrene.

Impacts of river-engineering practices on the conservation interest and water quality in the Land Yeo, England (2002)
Journal Article

The environmental quality of many rivers on the Somerset Levels and Moors has been reduced because of past river-engineering practices and changes in land use. A new holistic and restorative approach to river management is now helping to improve the...
