Not so EEZE : the ‘EDHF’ antagonist 14, 15 Epoxyeicosa-5(z)-enoic Acid has vasodilator properties in mesenteric arteries
(2004-12-15)
P-450 metabolites, including the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, are likely candidates for endothelial derived hyperpolarising factor (EDHF). In the present study, we confirm that the stable analogue 11-nonyloxyundec-8(Z)-enoic ...
Development of a decision support system for phoma and light leaf spot in winter oilseed rape (PASSWORD project)
(HGCA, 2004-12-14)
Pests and diseases in winter oilseed rape cause serious loss of yield and quality. Losses, predominantly from diseases, are estimated to exceed £80 million/annum in some years. These losses have occurred despite an annual ...
Role of inducible nitric oxide synthase in N-methyl-D-aspartic acid-induced strio-nigral degeneration
(2004-12-10)
N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced striatal excitotoxicity is mediated by nitric oxide (NO) but the role of inflammatory mechanisms and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induction is not clear. Unilateral intrastriatal ...
Characterization of Asian dust and Siberian smoke with multiwavelength Raman lidar over Tokyo, Japan in spring 2003
(2004-12-02)
[ 1] In the spring of 2003, we observed lofted Asian dust and Siberian forest-fire smoke plumes in the free troposphere over Tokyo, Japan with a dual-wavelength Raman lidar. These data show clear signatures of the optical ...
Automated interpretation and accessible presentation of technical diagrams for blind people
(2004-12-01)
The EU-supported TeDUB (Technical Drawings Understanding for the Blind) project is developing a software system that aims to make technical diagrams accessible to blind and visually impaired people. It consists of two ...
Franchising as a small business growth strategy : A resource-based view of organizational development
(2004-12-01)
