In vitro transcription in plant nuclei
(1988)Isolated plant nuclei can be used for fundamental studies on the transcription apparatus. Total RNA polymerase activity can be measured using plant nuclei, and by using different α-amanitin concentrations in the enzyme ... -
In vitro transcription of CaMV DNA

In vivo decontamination of the nerve agent VX using the domestic swine model
(2012-11)The purpose of this in vivo study was to assess a new, putatively optimised method for mass casualty decontamination ("ORCHIDS protocol") for effectiveness in removing the chemical warfare agent VX from the skin of ... -
In vivo evaluation of novel hyaluronan/chitosan microparticulate delivery systems for the nasal delivery of gentamicin in rabbits
(2002-01)Biodegradable microparticles containing gentamicin were prepared using chitosan hydroglutamate (CH), hyaluronic acid (HA) and a combination Of both polymers by a solvent evaporation method. These formulations were administered ... -
In vivo skin absorption and distribution of the nerve agent VX (O-ethyl-S-[2(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate) in the domestic white pig
(2005-07)The purpose of this study was to characterize the skin absorption and distribution of VX (O-ethyl-S-[2 (diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate) in the domestic pig in order to evaluate the animal as a potential ... -
In-ADC, Rank-Order Filter for Digital Pixel Sensors
(2023-12-21)This paper presents a new implementation of the rank-order filter, which is established on a parallel-operated array of single-slope (SS) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The SS ADCs use an “on-the-ramp processing” ... -
In-cylinder air motion characteristics with variable valve lift in a spark ignition engine. Part 1 : Swirl flow
(2011-04)While variable valve actuation or variable valve lift (WL) is used increasingly in spark ignition (SI) engines to improve the volumetric efficiency or to reduce the pumping losses, it is necessary to understand the impact ... -
In-cylinder studies of split injection in a single cylinder optical diesel engine
(Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2011)In order to meet the ever more stringent emission standards, significant efforts have been devoted to the research and development of cleaner IC engines. Diesel combustion and the formation of pollutants are directly ... -
In-depth study of moderately young but extremely red, very dusty substellar companion HD206893B
(2017-12-08)The substellar companion HD206893b has recently been discovered by direct imaging of its disc-bearing host star with the SPHERE instrument. We investigate the atypical properties of the companion, which has the reddest ... -
In-Service Performance of Emergency Shutdown Valves and Dependent Operational Relationships in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry
(2023-12-21)Industrial process plants use emergency shutdown valves (ESDVs) as safety barriers to protect against hazardous events, bringing the plant to a safe state when potential danger is detected. These ESDVs are used extensively ... -
In-situ observations of volcanic ash clouds from the FAAM aircraft during the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010
(2012)During April–May 2010 the UK Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft flew 12 flights targeting volcanic ash clouds around the UK. The aircraft observed ash layers between altitudes of 2–8 km ... -
In-situ simulation: A different approach to patient safety through immersive training
(2013-08-15)Simulation is becoming more and more popular in the field of healthcare education. The main concern for some faculty is knowing how to organise simulation training sessions when there is no simulation centre as they are ... -
In-vitro and in-vivo studies on a topical formulation of sitamaquine dihydrochloride for cutaneous leishmaniasis
(2006-08)The efficacy of topical formulations of the 8-aminoquinoline, sitamaquine dihydrochloride, in both in-vitro and in in-vivo models of cutaneous leishmaniasis is reported. In-vitro parasite assays confirmed that sitamaquine ... -
An in-vitro model of traumatic brain injury utilising two-dimensional stretch of organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
(2006)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by rapid deformation of the brain, resulting in a cascade of pathological events and ultimately neurodegeneration. Understanding how the biomechanics of brain deformation leads to ... -
An in-vitro study of the effect of hydrocolloid patch occlusion on the penetration of triamcinolone acetonide through skin in man
(1996-08)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusion using hydrocolloid-containing patches on in-vitro triamcinolone acetonide (TACA) penetration of the epidermis while monitoring the uptake of water by the patches ... -
The Inaugural Address: Perception and metaphysical scepticism
(1998)In this paper I introduce and critically examine a paradox about perceiving that is in some ways analogous to the paradox about meaning which Kripke puts forward in his exegesis of Wittgenstein's views on Rule-following. ... -
The Incarcerated Pregnancy: an Ethnographic Study of Perinatal Women in English Prisons
(2018-07-13)The UK has the highest incarceration rate in Western Europe, with pregnant women making up around 6% of the female prison population. There are limited qualitative studies published that document the experiences of pregnancy ...
