Absorption of the nerve agent VX (O-ethyl-S-[2(di-isopropylamino)ethyl] methyl phosphonothioate) through pig, human and guinea pig skin in vitro
(2006-12)
The physico-chemical properties of VX make the skin the most likely route of absorption into the human body. The development of effective medical countermeasures against such percutaneous threat agents relies on the use ...
In 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-treated primates, the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a agonist (R)-(+)-8-OHDPAT inhibits levodopa-induced dyskinesia but only with\increased motor disability
(2006-12)
5-Hydroxytryptamine 1a (5-HT1a) receptor agonists, such as sarizotan and tandospirone, are reported to reduce levodopainduced dyskinesia in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated macaques and in ...
Horticulture and the Environment in the Southern Region : Final Report for Environment Agency, Southern Region
(Environment Agency, 2006-11-14)
The Environment Agency, Southern Region, commissioned this scoping study to assess the potential environmental risks and impacts of horticulture in the Region. Much of Southern Region is environmentally sensitive due to ...
Quantitative determination of single-bead metal content from a peptide combinatorial library
(2006-11-13)
An electrothermal vaporizer inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ETV-ICPMS) was used to quantitatively screen metals bound to single polystyrene (TentaGel) beads with immobilized oligopeptides. Tests were performed ...
L'industria dei call center : quando il lavoro diventa bad job
(2006-11-04)
Il “cybertariato” è la nuova forza lavoro globale che sta crescendo nei Call center di tutto il mondo: una “classe operaia digitale” accomunata da identiche mansioni svolte al telefono di fronte ad un monitor. Una professione ...
Resonance capture cross section of Pb-207
(2006-11)
The radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-207 has been measured at the CERN neutron time of flight installation n_TOF using the pulse height weighting technique in the resolved energy region. The measurement has ...
In vitro synthesis of minus-strand RNA by an isolated cereal yellow dwarf virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase requires VPg and a stem-loop structure at the 3' end of the virus RNA
(2006-11)
Cereal yellow dwarf virus (CYDV) RNA has a 5'-terminal genome-linked protein (VPg). We have expressed the VPg region of the CYDV genome in bacteria and used the purified protein (bVPg) to raise an antiserum which was able ...
Consilience for Universal Design : The Emergence of a Third Culture
(2006-11)
Consilience offers a powerful mechanism for borrowing from other disciplines, thereby extending the scope of what can be known. This paper looks at the foundations of the activity of design as a means of providing IT systems ...
