Suction sampling as a significant source of error in molecular analysis of predator diets (2012)
Journal Article

The molecular detection of predation is a fast growing field, allowing highly specific and sensitive detection of prey DNA within the gut contents or faeces of a predator. Like all molecular methods, this technique is prone to potential sources of er... Read More about Suction sampling as a significant source of error in molecular analysis of predator diets.

Filamentary extension of the mem-con theory of memristance and its application to titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

Titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors have two different modes of operation, believed to be dependent on whether there is bulk memristance, i.e. memristance throughout the whole volume or filamentary memristance, i.e. memristance caused by the connecti...

The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

The width of the electrodes is not included in the current phenomenological models of memristance, but is included in the memory-conservation (mem-con) theory of memristance. An experimental study of the effect of changing the top electrode width was... Read More about The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study.

Double diffusive convection in a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer using a thermal non-equilibrium model (2012)
Journal Article

The stability of a binary viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer which is heated from below is studied, where the fluid and solid phases are not in local thermal equilibrium. The modified Darcy-Oldroyd model is employed as a momentum equation, wit...

Lysophosphatidic acid-functionalised titanium as a superior surface for supporting human osteoblast (MG63) maturation (2012)
Journal Article

Covalent modifications of titanium with small molecules known to promote human osteoblast maturation are especially attractive in developing superior biomaterials. An important step in securing competent bone formation at implant sites is promoti...

Expression of the hepatic skatole- and androstenone-metabolising enzymes in entire male pigs of two live weights (2012)
Journal Article

The aim of the present study was to investigate an in vivo relationship between increased levels of testicular steroids and protein expression of the key enzymes involved in hepatic metabolism of skatole (cytochrome P4502E1 and CYP2E1 and CYP2A) and...

A comparison of overload behaviour for some sub 2μm totally porous and sub 3μm shell particle columns with ionised solutes (2012)
Journal Article

The overloading performance of some 2.7 μm shell and sub 2 μm totally porous columns, including one pair manufactured from similar materials with similar bonding chemistries, was compared using strongly acidic and basic probe compounds. In general, t... Read More about A comparison of overload behaviour for some sub 2μm totally porous and sub 3μm shell particle columns with ionised solutes.

New developments in printed biosensors for clinical and diagnostic applications (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Electrochemical sensor strips were one of the first devices to become a global success in what might now be termed the printed electronics industry. Since their creation some 20 years ago, printed sensor strips are used extensively for a range of cli...

Low dose ionizing radiation produces too few reactive oxygen species to directly affect antioxidant concentrations in cells (2012)
Journal Article

It has been hypothesized that radiation-induced oxidative stress is the mechanism for a wide range of negative impacts on biota living in radioactively contaminated areas around Chernobyl. The present study tests this hypothesis mechanistically, for...
