The missing magnetic flux in the HP memristor found (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

Ever since real-world two terminal memristor devices were created, detractors have derided them as not `true' Chua memristors because there is no magnetic flux in the system. This report shows that the flux is present and equal to the magnetic flux o... Read More about The missing magnetic flux in the HP memristor found.

Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions (2012)
Journal Article

Microbial cultures and/or microbial associated diseases often have a characteristic smell. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by all microorganisms as part of their normal metabolism. The types and classes of VOC produced is wide, includi... Read More about Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions.

Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments (2012)
Journal Article

Due to the limitations associated with the use of existing biocidal agents, there is a need to explore new methods of disinfection to help maintain effective bioburden control, especially within the healthcare environment. The transformation of low m... Read More about Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments.

MKS1 interacts with components of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to regulate ciliogenesis and multiple signalling pathways (2012)
Journal Article

MKS1, a ciliary protein containing a B9 domain of unknown function, plays an important role in ciliogenesis. Mutation of the MKS1 gene causes the neonatal lethal multi-organ developmental condition Meckel-Gruber syndrome, characterized by severe cili...

WT1 Mutants Reveal SRPK1 to Be a Downstream Angiogenesis Target by Altering VEGF Splicing (2011)
Journal Article

Angiogenesis is regulated by the balance of proangiogenic VEGF 165 and antiangiogenic VEGF 165b splice isoforms.
