Slippery slopes and the queer parenting Armageddon: normalising and radical responses to arguments about the importance of maternal and paternal influences in childrearing (2007)
Journal Article

In this commentary, I respond to Sir Mark Potter’s assertions about the importance of marriage as an institution and of maternal and paternal influences in childrearing. These are well-worn justifications for the denial of lesbian and gay rights, par...

A FAFLP system for the improved identification of plant-pathogenic and plant-associated species of the genus Pantoea (2007)
Journal Article

The majority of Pantoea species are either plant-pathogenic or plant-associated and cause a wide variety of symptoms on a range of hosts. Identification of Pantoea species is difficult due to minor differences in phenotypic characteristics between th...

Potential dependence of segregation and surface alloy formation of a Ru modified carbon supported Pt catalyst (2007)
Journal Article

Ruthenium modified carbon supported platinum catalysts have been shown to have a similar activity towards carbon monoxide oxidation as conventionally prepared bimetallic PtRu alloy catalysts. In this study the effect of the applied electrode potentia... Read More about Potential dependence of segregation and surface alloy formation of a Ru modified carbon supported Pt catalyst.

The dangers of taking mud for granted: Lessons from Lower Old Red Sandstone dryland river systems of South Wales (2007)
Journal Article

Mudrocks are a prominent feature of many ancient dryland successions but they are not always a product of the settling out of suspension load. From studies of the late Silurian-early Devonian Old Red Sandstone mudrocks of South Wales it has been show...

Twelve years' experience with the Patient Generated Index (PGI) of quality of life: A graded structured review (2007)
Journal Article

The Patient Generated Index (PGI) is an individualised quality of life (QoL) measure that has been in use since 1994. Various adaptations have been made to suit a variety of client groups. The PGI's psychometric properties have been studied but their... Read More about Twelve years' experience with the Patient Generated Index (PGI) of quality of life: A graded structured review.

Highly purified lipopolysaccharides from Burkholderia cepacia complex clinical isolates induce inflammatory cytokine responses via TLR4-mediated MAPK signalling pathways and activation of NFκB (2007)
Journal Article

In cystic fibrosis (CF), bacteria of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) can induce a fulminant inflammation with pneumonitis and sepsis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) may be an important virulence factor associated with this decline but little is know...
