Astrophysical reaction rates for B-10(p,alpha)Be-7 and B-11(p,alpha)Be-8 from a direct model
(1996-05)
The reactions B-10(p,alpha)Be-7 and B-11(p,alpha)Be-8 are studied at thermonuclear energies using DWBA calculations. For both reactions, transitions to the ground states and first excited states are investigated. In the ...
Wellington
(1996-04)
Changes in New Zealand's economy since 1984 highlighted the effect on the social and economic fabric of the country, which also affects other major cities such as Wellington. This city profile considers recent changes in ...
'MegaLab UK' : Participatory science and the mass media
(1996-04-01)
For the past two years, the 'MegaLab UK' initiative has carried out huge participatory science demonstrations on national television, radio and in newspapers. This paper outlines the methods and results of two MegaLab ...
Emerging Strategies for a Chaotic Environment
(1996-04)
The possibility that any member of a system can foresee its future depends upon the dynamical properties of the system. Today's predominant management view is that ‘human agents’ in an organisation can foresee the future ...
An ovine lymphocyte antigen is associated with reduced faecal egg counts in four-month-old lambs following natural, predominantly Ostertagia circumcincta infection
(1996-04)
Ten lymphocyte antigens were defined in a flock of Scottish Blackface sheep known to be naturally exposed to infection with Ostertagia circumcincta. Population and family studies suggested that the 10 antigens were products ...
Potato yellow mosaic geminivirus AC2 protein is a sequence non-specific DNA binding protein
(1996-03-25)
The AC2 protein of potato yellow mosaic geminivirus (PYMV) is by analogy with related geminiviruses thought to be a transcriptional activator protein. We have over-expressed the AC2 open reading frame in E. coli and purified ...

Investigation of the mode of action of nematode neuropeptides
(1996-03)
The neuropeptide AF2 has a complex set of actions on the dorsal muscle strip of Ascaris suum, including a potentiation of the acetylcholine-stimulated muscle contraction. Caffeine at 100 μm and 5 mm inhibited this potentiation, ...
Real-time effects of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid on dopamine release in slices of rat caudate putamen : A study using fast cyclic voltammetry
(1996-03)
The functional role of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) glutamate receptors in the real-time regulation of single electrical pulse (1 p)-stimulated endogenous dopamine release was investigated in slices of rat caudate putamen ...
