The influence of a fluid-porous interface on solar pond stability (2013)
Journal Article

The linear instability of the gradient zone of a solar pond containing a fluid-porous interface is investigated. It is found that the gradient zone can retain the same stability for lower values of the solute Rayleigh number with the introduction of...

The modelling of blood coagulation using the quartz crystal microbalance (2013)
Journal Article

Blood is a clinically-important analytical matrix that is routinely selected for disease monitoring. Having a clear understanding of the mechanisms involved in blood coagulation is a key consideration in haemostasis, with modern clinical practices re...

Different Wording of the Patient Global Visual Analogue Scale (PG-VAS) Affects Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients' Scoring and the Overall Disease Activity Score (DAS28): A Cross-Sectional Study (2013)
Journal Article

Objective: The Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) is a key measure in clinical practice and clinical trials. There are at least five different versions of the 'Patient Global' Visual Analogue Scale (PG-VAS) being used in the DAS28. The devel...

Practical investigation of the factors that affect the selectivity in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (2013)
Journal Article

Retention data for a series of 29 compounds comprising acids, bases and neutrals were obtained on six different hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) columns including bare silica, zwitterionic and those bonded with neutral bonded ligands. The principal ai... Read More about Practical investigation of the factors that affect the selectivity in hydrophilic interaction chromatography.

Ecology of reproduction in Sanje mangabeys (Cercocebus sanjei): Dietary strategies and energetic condition during a high fruit period (2013)
Journal Article

The ability to increase energy storage when food is abundant for later use during late gestation and early lactation is often considered the primary benefit of the capital breeding strategy (clustering conceptions during high food periods, HFP) that...

Novel immunoassay technique for rapid measurement of intracellular proteins using paramagnetic particles (2013)
Journal Article

Magnetic immunoassays have been shown to have similar detection limits to conventional immunoassays, with the advantage of reduced total assay time. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that an integrated lysis and measurement system could be use...

Hepatic lipogenic enzyme expression in pigs is affected by selection for decreased backfat thickness at constant intramuscular fat content (2013)
Journal Article

This study investigated (i) whether genetic selection for decreased backfat thickness at constant intramuscular fat (IMF) affects the expression of lipogenic enzymes in pig liver and (ii) whether expression of the hepatic lipogenic enzymes is related...

Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery (2013)
Journal Article

The levels of compounds in exhaled mouth air do not necessarily reflect levels in the systemic circulation as bacteria can bio-transform substrates to produce compounds within the mouth. This should be of concern to researchers measuring breath volat... Read More about Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery.

Breath volatile analysis from patients diagnosed with harmful drinking, cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy: A pilot study (2013)
Journal Article

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric state potentially complicating cirrhosis following the accumulation of toxic compounds that cross the blood-brain barrier and affect brain function; the compounds may undergo alveolar gas exchange and...

Influence of dna repair on nonlinear dose-responses for mutation (2013)
Journal Article

Recent evidence has challenged the default assumption that all DNA-reactive alkylating agents exhibit a linear dose-response. Emerging evidence suggests that the model alkylating agents methyl- and ethylmethanesulfonate and methylnitrosourea (MNU) an...

Comparative antimicrobial activities of aerosolized sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and electrochemically activated solutions evaluated using a novel standardized assay (2013)
Journal Article

The main aim of this study was to develop a standardized experimental assay to enable differential antimicrobial comparisons of test biocidal aerosols. This study represents the first chlorine-matched comparative assessment of the antimicrobial activ...

An Investigation of Fecal Volatile Organic Metabolites in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (2013)
Journal Article

Diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be a challenge; many clinicians resort to invasive investigations in order to rule out other diseases and reassure their patients. Volatile organic metabolites (VOMs) are emitted from feces; understanding... Read More about An Investigation of Fecal Volatile Organic Metabolites in Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Recent developments in the stripping voltammetric determination of indium (2013)
Journal Article

The determination of indium has become increasingly more important as the demand for this metal has greatly increased in recent years for the manufacture of touch screen devices, photovoltaic and semi-conductor devices. Concentrations of In generally... Read More about Recent developments in the stripping voltammetric determination of indium.

Direct measurement of ammonia in simulated human breath using an inkjet-printed polyaniline nanoparticle sensor (2013)
Journal Article

A sensor fabricated from the inkjet-printed deposition of polyaniline nanoparticles onto a screen-printed silver interdigitated electrode was developed for the detection of ammonia in simulated human breath samples. Impedance analysis showed that exp... Read More about Direct measurement of ammonia in simulated human breath using an inkjet-printed polyaniline nanoparticle sensor.

Does increase in DNA repair allow "Tolerance-to-Insult" in chemical carcinogenesis? Skin tumor experiments with MGMT-overexpressing mice (2013)
Journal Article

Several genotoxicity endpoints have been evaluated to define nonlinear dose-responses for S N 1 and S N 2 alkylating genotoxicants. Dose-response studies acknowledging the process of multistage tumorigenesis are important; however, data pertaining no...
