A differential constraint approach to obtain global stability for radiation-induced double-diffusive convection in a porous medium (2009)
Journal Article

The stability of double-diffusive porous convection with a concentration-based internal heat source is studied. Owing to the significant sensitivity of standard energy method, a highly desirable reduction in the number of required coupling parameters...

Global stability for thermal convection in a fluid overlying a highly porous material (2009)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the instability thresholds and global nonlinear stability bounds for thermal convection in a fluid overlying a highly porous material. A two-layer approach is adopted, where the Darcy-Brinkman equation is employed to describe... Read More about Global stability for thermal convection in a fluid overlying a highly porous material.

Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a highly porous material (2009)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the instability of Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a highly porous material. A two layer approach is adopted, where the Darcy-Brinkman equation is employed to describe the fluid flow in the porous medium, with a tangentia...

Changes in freshwater organic matter fluorescence intensity with freezing/thawing and dehydration/rehydration (2009)
Journal Article

The effects of photodegradation and biodegradation upon aquatic organic matter lability have been extensively researched in all aquatic systems because of the impact of these. processes upon carbon cycling, with most studies undertaken on the dissolv...

Redox regulation and trapping sulfenic acid in the peroxide-sensitive human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase (2009)
Book Chapter

The human branched chain aminotransferase enzymes are key regulators of glutamate metabolism in the brain and are among a growing number of redox-sensitive proteins. Studies that use thiol-specific reagents and electrospray ionization mass spectromet...

Vinblastine and diethylstilboestrol tested in the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test (MNvit) at Swansea University UK in support of OECD draft Test Guideline 487 (2010)
Journal Article

The known aneugens vinblastine and diethylstilboestrol (DES) were tested in the in vitro micronucleus assay, with and without cytokinesis block in Chinese hamster CHO cells, at the laboratories of Swansea University, Swansea, UK. These experiments we...

Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella (2009)
Journal Article

Free-living microbivorous helminths that consume pathogenic bacteria could offer an environmental refuge for those pathogens and also, in the case of accidental ingestion, could transmit food-borne pathogens to humans and livestock. We tested this hy... Read More about Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella.

Bacteria isolated from parasitic nematodes - A potential novel vector of pathogens?
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Bacterial pathogens are ubiquitous in soil and water - concurrently so are free-living helminths that feed on bacteria. These helminths fall into two categories; the non-parasitic and the parasitic. The former have been the focus of previous work, fi... Read More about Bacteria isolated from parasitic nematodes - A potential novel vector of pathogens?.

Lipid peroxidation levels in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seed parts as a consequence on imbibition stress (2009)
Journal Article

High rainfall and rapid water uptake by dry seed after sowing in the field can result in so-called seed imbibitional damage. Here, lipid peroxidation levels were evaluated in seed testa, embryos and cotyledons of three soybean cultivars (Podravka 95,... Read More about Lipid peroxidation levels in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seed parts as a consequence on imbibition stress.

Lithocholate-A promising non-calcaemic calcitriol surrogate for promoting human osteoblast maturation upon biomaterials (2009)
Journal Article

Background and aims: Calcitriol, an active vitamin D metabolite, has a limited application in bone repair because of its undesirable hypercalcaemic action. However it has emerged that lithocholic acid (LCA) is a non-calcaemic vitamin D receptor ligan...

Toxicity testing: The search for an in vitro alternative to animal testing (2009)
Journal Article

Prior to introduction to the clinic, pharmaceuticals must undergo rigorous toxicity testing to ensure their safety. Traditionally, this has been achieved using in vivo animal models. However, besides ethical reasons, there is a continual drive to red... Read More about Toxicity testing: The search for an in vitro alternative to animal testing.

Effect of supplementation of the maternal diet with fish oil or linseed oil on fatty-acid composition and expression of δ5- and δ6-desaturase in tissues of female piglets (2009)
Journal Article

The present study investigated whether enrichment of the pig maternal diet with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) affects the fatty-acid composition of female piglets via enhancing of expression of the lipogenic enzymes 5-desaturase (5d) and 6-d...

Impaired maintenance of naturally acquired T-cell memory to the meningococcus in patients with B-cell immunodeficiency (2009)
Journal Article

The importance of T cells in the generation of antigen-specific B-cell immunity has been extensively described, but the role B cells play in shaping T-cell memory is uncertain. In healthy controls, exposure to Neisseria meningitidis in the upper resp...
