Heavy metal contamination of brown seaweed and sediments from the UK coastline between the Wear River and the Tees River (2001)
Journal Article
Giusti, L. (2001). Heavy metal contamination of brown seaweed and sediments from the UK coastline between the Wear River and the Tees River. Environment International, 26(4), 275-286. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0160-4120%2800%2900117-3

The concentration of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cd, and Ag were determined in the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus and intertidal surface sediments from coastal locations of northeast England. Levels of heavy metals similar to those of polluted areas of...

An intriguing new genus of scuttle fly (Diptera: Phoridae) from Borneo (2001)
Journal Article
Disney, R. H. L., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2001). An intriguing new genus of scuttle fly (Diptera: Phoridae) from Borneo. Fragmenta Faunistica- Polska Akademia Nauk Muzeum i Instytut Zoologii, 44(2), 319-328. https://doi.org/10.3161/00159301FF2001.44.2.319

Dohrnigma nudifrons n. gen., n. sp. is described from Borneo. It seems to represent a transitional form related to Dohrniphora DAHL. Synaptophora BROWN is transferred to the Diplonevrini, which in turn is removed from the subfamily Aenigmatiinae.

Ammonia vapour in the oral cavity as a diagnostic marker for infection with Helicobacter pylori: Preliminary 'proof of principle' pharmacological investigations (2001)
Journal Article
Dun, C., Blac, M., Cowell, D., Penaul, C., Ratcliffe, N. M., Spence, R., & Teare, C. (2001). Ammonia vapour in the oral cavity as a diagnostic marker for infection with Helicobacter pylori: Preliminary 'proof of principle' pharmacological investigations. British Journal of Biomedical Science, 58(2), 66-75

Most current non-invasive tests for Helicobacter pylori depend on the conversion of labelled (13C or 14C) urea to labelled carbon dioxide (13CO2 or 14CO2) and ammonium (NH4+) by the enzyme urease, with the labelled CO2 detected in exhaled air. Despit... Read More about Ammonia vapour in the oral cavity as a diagnostic marker for infection with Helicobacter pylori: Preliminary 'proof of principle' pharmacological investigations.

Assessing chemical toxicity with the bioluminescent photobacterium (vibrio fischeri): A comparison of three commercial systems (2001)
Journal Article
Jennings, V. L., Rayner-Brandes, M. H., & Bird, D. J. (2001). Assessing chemical toxicity with the bioluminescent photobacterium (vibrio fischeri): A comparison of three commercial systems. Water Research, 35(14), 3448-3456. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0043-1354%252801%252900067-7

The inhibition of light emitted by the bioluminescent bacterium, Vibrio fischeri, is the basis for several toxicity bioassays. The inhibitory effects of 81 chemicals, after 5 min contact time, were studied at eight concentrations using reagents from...
