Survival analysis: The statistically rigorous method for analyzing electrical submersible pump system performance (2006)
Journal Article

A rigorous statistical methodology using survival analysis (SA) was developed and applied to electrical submersible pump (ESP) system performance data. The approach extracts unbiased information from performance data and permits lifetime modeling, wi...

Children's 'funds of knowledge' and their real life activities: Two minority ethnic children learning in out-of-school contexts in the UK (2006)
Journal Article

In this paper we explore the concept of 'funds of knowledge' used by Moll and Greenberg (1990) in the US to recognize and value expertise located within minority ethnic communities and apply it to the out-of-school learning engaged in by two primary...

WT1 interacts with the splicing protein RBM4 and regulates its ability to modulate alternative splicing in vivo (2006)
Journal Article

Wilm's tumor protein 1 (WT1), a protein implicated in various cancers and developmental disorders, consists of two major isoforms: WT1(-KTS), a transcription factor, and WT1(+KTS), a post-transcriptional regulator that binds to RNA and can interact w...

Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model (2006)
Journal Article

Fermi acceleration in a Fermi-Ulam model, consisting of an ensemble of particles bouncing between two, infinitely heavy, stochastically oscillating hard walls, is investigated. It is shown that the widely used approximation, neglecting the displaceme... Read More about Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model.

A phylogenetic effect on strontium concentrations in angiosperms (2006)
Journal Article

A Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML) procedure was used to compile Sr concentrations in 103 plant species from experiments with Sr concentrations in 66 plant species from the literature. There were 14 species in common between experiments and the lit... Read More about A phylogenetic effect on strontium concentrations in angiosperms.

A dispersion modelling approach to determine the odour impact of intensive poultry production units in Ireland (2006)
Journal Article

The use of atmospheric dispersion modelling has become more common for the determination of odour impacts from existing poultry production facilities and the assessment of setback distances for new facilities. Setback distances for broiler, layer and... Read More about A dispersion modelling approach to determine the odour impact of intensive poultry production units in Ireland.

Relationship between the expression of hepatic but not testicular 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with androstenone deposition in pig adipose tissue (2006)
Journal Article

This study investigated the relationship between expression of hepatic and testicular 3/3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3/3-HSD) and accumulation of androstenone in adipose tissue because of its relation to boar taint. The experiments were performed... Read More about Relationship between the expression of hepatic but not testicular 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with androstenone deposition in pig adipose tissue.

The Wilms tumour suppressor protein WT1 (+KTS isoform) binds alpha-actinin 1 mRNA via its zinc-finger domain (2006)
Journal Article

Mutations in WT1 are associated with developmental syndromes that affect the urogenital system and neoplasms, including Wilms tumour, acute myeloid leukemia, and breast and prostate cancers. The WT1 protein belongs to the early growth response family... Read More about The Wilms tumour suppressor protein WT1 (+KTS isoform) binds alpha-actinin 1 mRNA via its zinc-finger domain.

Production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species by angiosperm stigmas and pollen: Potential signalling crosstalk? (2006)
Journal Article

• Angiosperm stigmas exhibit high levels of peroxidase activity when receptive to pollen. To explore possible function(s) of this peroxidase activity we investigated amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide, in stigmas...
