The economics of employing a counsellor in general practice : Analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial
(2000-04)
Background. Counselling is currently adopted in many general practices, despite limited evidence of clinical and cost effectiveness. Aim. To compare direct and indirect costs of counsellors and general practitioners (GPs) ...
An audit of drug incidents in learning disability group homes.
(2000-04-01)
The implementation of clinical governance (Department of Health, 1997) requires the review of practice by consideration of complaints and clinical incidents. A systematic review of the clinical incident forms in group homes ...
Comparisons of isolates of Fusarium avenaceum from white lupin and other crops by pathogenicity tests, DNA analyses and vegetative compatibility tests
(2000-04)
Isolates of Fusarium avenaceum, mostly from crops of white lupin or wheat, were tested for pathogenicity on white lupin and wheat plants and compared by DNA tests and, in a limited study, vegetative compatibility. Most of ...
The role of fractalkine in the recruitment of monocytes to the endothelium
(2000-03-31)
Recombinant fractalkine possesses both chemoattractive and adhesive properties in vitro. Previous studies have demonstrated an upregulation of this molecule on the membranes of activated human endothelial cells and ...
The influence of age on the variation among sheep in susceptibility to natural nematode infection
(2000-03-28)
A longitudinal study of faecal nematode egg counts was made in naturally infected Scottish Blackface sheep over two grazing seasons to 75 weeks of age. Although egg counts were lower in the second grazing season the variation ...
Influence of simulated rain on dispersal of rust spores from infected wheat seedlings
(2000-03-10)
Spores of both Puccinia recondita f sp, tritici and P striiformis (brown rust and yellow rust of wheat) are thought to be primarily dispersed by wind. The results of experiments, using a rain simulator with uniform drop ...
A Population of very young Brown Dwarfs and free-floating Planets in Orion
(2000-03-06)
We describe the results of a very deep imaging survey of the Trapezium Cluster in the IJH bands, using the UKIRT high resolution camera UFTI. Approximately 32% of the 515 point sources detected are brown dwarf candidates, ...
Selective binding of the truncated form of the chemokine CKβ8 (25-99) to CC chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1)
(2000-03-01)
Human CC chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1) has been proposed as a receptor for CKβ8. To obtain conclusive evidence, binding-displacement studies of 125I-CKβ8 (25-99) were performed on membranes of Chinese hamster ovary cells ...
Structure of the Influenza C virus CM2 protein transmembrane domain obtained by site-specific infrared dichroism and global molecular dynamics searching
(2000-02-11)
The 115-residue protein CM2 from Influenza C virus has been recently characterized as a tetrameric integral membrane glycoprotein. infrared spectroscopy and site-directed infrared dichroism were utilized here to determine ...
Polarimetry of young stellar objects - III : Circular polarimetry of OMC-1
(2000-02-11)
We present the first imaging circular polarimetry of the Orion Molecular Cloud, OMC-1. The observations, taken in the J, H, K and nbL bands, reveal a complex pattern of circular polarization. Globally, there is a background ...
