The role of ABA in regulating the movemement of chlamydomonas reinhardtii in response to stress (2019)
Thesis

Plant hormones such as auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, ethylene, and abscisic acid play key roles in growth and developmental processes in higher plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the effect of these hormones on algal physiology is still u... Read More about The role of ABA in regulating the movemement of chlamydomonas reinhardtii in response to stress.

Cumulative weather effects can impact across the whole life cycle (2019)
Journal Article

Predicting how species will be affected by future climatic change requires the underlying environmental drivers to be identified. As vital rates vary over the lifecycle, structured population models derived from statistical environment-demography rel...

Localisation and identification of melanocyte-stimulating hormones in the fish brain (1988)
Journal Article

The existence of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) in fish brains was investigated by a range of techniques: radioimmunoassay, HPLC, bioassay, and immunocytochemistry. Immunoreactive αMSH (irαMSH) was detected by radioimmunoassay in all regions of... Read More about Localisation and identification of melanocyte-stimulating hormones in the fish brain.

Opioid binding sites in the fish brain: An autoradiographic study (1988)
Journal Article

Cryostat sections of trout brains were incubated with tritiated opioid ligands (5 nM [3H]etorphine or 4 nMd-[3H]Ala2, Met5 enkephalinamide) with the initial aim of locating opioid binding sites associated with the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. Naloxone... Read More about Opioid binding sites in the fish brain: An autoradiographic study.

IR studies of pyroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films (1987)
Journal Article

Alternate-layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) assemblies, consisting of 22-tricosenoic acid with three different amine derivatives, have been fabricated. The pyroelectric activity in the films has been assessed and correlated with their structures determine... Read More about IR studies of pyroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films.

Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores (1987)
Journal Article

The pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing several different polar chromophores was studied. Two distinct levels of activity are seen. By comparison with films containing no chromophores it is shown that the lower level of activ... Read More about Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores.

Hypothalamo-pituitary-interrenal responses to opioid substances in the trout. I. Effects of morphine on the release in vitro of corticotrophin-releasing activity from the hypothalamus and corticotrophin from the pituitary gland (1987)
Journal Article

The effects of morphine and naloxone on the secretion in vitro of corticotrophin (ACTH) and and corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) by the pars distalis and hypothalamus, respectively, have been studied in the trout. The spontaneous in vitro secret... Read More about Hypothalamo-pituitary-interrenal responses to opioid substances in the trout. I.

Pyroelectric activity in non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films (1985)
Journal Article

We report the detection of pyroelectric activity in non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films of structure ABAB ... where A and B are monolayers of different materials. Films consisting of alternating fatty amine and fatty acid layers gi... Read More about Pyroelectric activity in non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films.

Salmonid melanin-concentrating hormone inhibits corticotrophin release (1985)
Journal Article

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a neural peptide associated with colour change in fishes. We show here that it also inhibits corticotrophin (ACTH) secretion. Synthetic salmonid MCH at a concentration of 100 pmol/l reduced the in-vitro release... Read More about Salmonid melanin-concentrating hormone inhibits corticotrophin release.
