Identifying the progenitor set of present-day early-type galaxies : A view from the standard model
(2009-08-01)
We present a comprehensive theoretical study, using a semi-analytical model within the standard LCDM framework, of the photometric properties of the progenitors of present-day early-type galaxies in the redshift range 0 ...
Molecular characterisation of two novel double-stranded RNA elements from Phlebiopsis gigantea
(2009-08)
The incomplete sequences of two large, 10-12 kbp, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) found in the TW-2 isolate of the saprophytic fungus, Phlebiopsis gigantea (Pg) are reported. Both PgV-TW2 dsRNA1 and dsRNA2 potentially encode ...
Numerical Simulation of charge stratifications to improve combustion and NO formation of lean-burn SI engines
(2009-08-01)
The influences of charge stratification on spark ignition (SI) engine combustion and NO emission were analyzed using a phenomenological model. The mixture in the cylinder was divided spherically into three parts: a central ...
NHS psychiatry : The need for constructive debate. Invited commentary on... The trouble with NHS psychiatry in England
(2009-08-01)
Two recent articles, 'The trouble with NHS psychiatry in England' and 'Wake-up call for British psychiatry' have levelled severe criticisms against the NHS provider systems for people with mental disorders. In response, ...
Novel markers reveal subpopulations of subplate neurons in the murine cerebral cortex
(2009-08-01)
The subplate lays the foundation of the developing cerebral cortex, and abnormalities have been suggested to contribute to various brain developmental disorders. The causal relationship between cellular pathologies and ...
A dynamic topical hydrofluoroalkane foam to induce nanoparticle modification and drug release in situ
(2009-08)
Topical nanoparticles are usually applied using semi-solid formulations, but the delivery process is often inefficient due to the poor drug release from the particles. The aim of this study was to investigate the capability ...
Characterisation of the Interaction of Lactate Dehydrogenase With Tween-20 Using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, Interfacial Rheometry and Surface Tension Measurements
(2009-08)
In this study the nature of the interaction between Tween-20 and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). In addition the effects of the protein and surfactant on the ...
Working at the Interface : Call Centre Labour in a Global Economy
(2009-07-31)
Introducing this volume, this paper describes the contradictory nature of many aspects of call-centre work, drawing on the results of the EC-funded STILE project to demonstrate the difficulties of classifying call-centre ...
