A reduced protein diet induces stearoyl-CoA desaturase protein expression in pig muscle but not in subcutaneous adipose tissue: Relationship with intramuscular lipid formation (2006)
Journal Article
A reduced protein diet (RPD) is known to increase the level of intramuscular lipid in pig meat with a smaller effect on the amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue. This might be due to tissue-specific activation of the expression of lipogenic enzymes...

Evidence for declining levels of heavy-metals in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel, U.K. and their spatial distribution in sediments (2006)
Journal Article
Levels of heavy-metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn) in suspended particulate and in surface and subsurface sediments were determined at seven locations in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. Sediment metal concentrations were highest at sites clos...

Spontaneous gene flow from rapeseed (Brassica napus) to wild Brassica oleracea (2006)
Journal Article
Research on the environmental risks of gene flow from genetically modified (GM) crops to wild relatives has traditionally emphasized recipients yielding most hybrids. For GM rapeseed (Brassica napus), interest has centred on the 'frequently hybridizi... Read More about Spontaneous gene flow from rapeseed (Brassica napus) to wild Brassica oleracea.

Selective and rapid biosensor integrated into a commercial hand-held instrument for the measurement of ammonium ion in sewage effluent (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A disposable biosensor for ammonium ions in sewage effluent was developed and based on a screen-printed carbon electrode coated with the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, 2-oxoglutarate, and NADH. This rapid and selective amperometric biosensor is capa...

Linear and non-linear stability thresholds for thermal convection in a box (2006)
Journal Article
We analyse the problem of finding instability thresholds and global non-linear stability bounds for thermal convection in a linearly viscous fluid in a finite box. The vertical walls are maintained at different temperatures which gives rise to a non-... Read More about Linear and non-linear stability thresholds for thermal convection in a box.
A Legendre spectral element method for eigenvalues in hydrodynamic stability (2006)
Journal Article
A Legendre polynomial-based spectral technique is developed to be applicable to solving eigenvalue problems which arise in linear and nonlinear stability questions in porous media, and other areas of Continuum Mechanics. The matrices produced in the... Read More about A Legendre spectral element method for eigenvalues in hydrodynamic stability.
Voltammetric behaviour of DNA bases at an unmodified screen-printed carbon electrode and its application for the determination of oxidative damage in double stranded DNA (2006)

Dorsal stream associations with orthographic and phonological processing (2006)
Journal Article
Several studies have indicated a key role for dorsal stream processing in lexical decoding. To examine this relationship further, performance on orthographic and phonological reading tests was compared with both steady-state visual evoked potentials...

The role of stigma peroxidases in flowering plants: Insights from further characterization of a stigma-specific peroxidase (SSP) from Senecio squalidus (Asteraceae) (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Angiosperm stigmas have long been known to exhibit high levels of peroxidase activity when they are mature and most receptive to pollen but the biological function of stigma peroxidases is not known. A novel stigma-specific class III peroxidase gene,...

Relationship between the expression of hepatic but not testicular 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with androstenone deposition in pig adipose tissue (2006)
Journal Article
This study investigated the relationship between expression of hepatic and testicular 3/3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3/3-HSD) and accumulation of androstenone in adipose tissue because of its relation to boar taint. The experiments were performed... Read More about Relationship between the expression of hepatic but not testicular 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with androstenone deposition in pig adipose tissue.
Studies towards the development of a screen-printed carbon electrochemical immunosensor array for mycotoxins: A sensor for aflatoxin B1 (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) bearing a surface-adsorbed antibody against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) were used in a competitive immunoassay, based on competition of free analyte with a biotinylated aflatoxin B1 conjugate. Subsequent addition of s... Read More about Studies towards the development of a screen-printed carbon electrochemical immunosensor array for mycotoxins: A sensor for aflatoxin B1.
Inter-taxa differences in root uptake of 103/106Ru by plants (2006)
Journal Article
Ruthenium-106 is of potential radioecological importance but soil-to-plant Transfer Factors for it are available only for few plant species. A Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML) procedure was used to construct a database of relative 103/106Ru concent... Read More about Inter-taxa differences in root uptake of 103/106Ru by plants.
The economics of the primate trade in Bioko, Equatorial Guinea (2005)
Journal Article
Researchers from the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE) and Arcadia University have alerted the international conservation community to the threat of imminent extinction of the seven primate sub-species on the island of Bioko, Equatorial...
