W1908 diagnostic potential of volatile organic compounds in inflammatory bowel disease (2010)
Journal Article

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are diagnosed using invasive investigations which patients find unpleasant. Non-invasive modalities to asses the clinical course of the disease are yet to be adopted. Volatile organic com...

Effects of flow-rate, inoculum and time on the internal resistance of microbial fuel cells (2010)
Journal Article

To process large volumes of wastewater, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) would require anodophilic bacteria preferably operating at high flow-rates. The effect of flow-rate on different microbial consortia was examined during anodic biofilm development, u...

Kinetic behaviour of WT 1's zinc finger domain in binding to the alpha-actinin-1 mRNA (2010)
Journal Article

The zinc finger transcription factor Wilms tumour protein (WT 1) is known for its essential involvement in the development of the genitourinary system as well as of other organs and tissues. WT 1 is capable of selectively binding either DNA or mRNA t... Read More about Kinetic behaviour of WT 1's zinc finger domain in binding to the alpha-actinin-1 mRNA.

Short-term effect of deep shade and enhanced nitrogen supply on Sphagnum capillifolium morphophysiology (2010)
Journal Article

Sphagnum capillifolium mesocosms collected from an ombrotrophic blanket bog were subjected to controlled photon flux densities (control and shaded) and nitrogen (low and high) treatments between November 2003 and August 2004. Shading significantly re... Read More about Short-term effect of deep shade and enhanced nitrogen supply on Sphagnum capillifolium morphophysiology.

Electrocatalytic behaviour of citric acid at a cobalt phthalocyanine- modified screen-printed carbon electrode and its application in pharmaceutical and food analysis (2010)
Journal Article

Cobalt phthalocyanine-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (CoPC-SPCEs) have been investigated as disposable sensors for the measurement of citric acid. The analyte was found to undergo an electrocatalytic oxidation process involving the Co2+/Co...
