Pharmacology of airways and vessels in lung slices in situ : Role of endogenous dilator hormones
(2006-08-21)
Small airway and vessels play a critical role in chronic airway and pulmonary vascular diseases, but their pharmacology has not been well characterised. We have studied airway and vascular responses in rat lung slices and ...
Identification of new M dwarfs in the solar neighborhood
(2006-08)
We present the results from a spectroscopic study of 1080 nearby active M dwarfs, selected by correlating the Two Micron All Sky Survey and ROSAT catalogs. We have derived the spectral types and estimated distances for all ...
Molecular characterization of a partitivirus from Ophiostoma himal-ulmi
(2006-08)
The complete nucleotide sequences of two double-stranded (ds) RNA molecules, S1 (1,744 bp) and S2 (1,567 bp), isolated from an isolate HP62 of the Himalayan Dutch elm disease fungus, Ophiostoma himal-ulmi, were determined. ...
Belief in psychic ability and the misattribution hypothesis : A qualitative review
(2006-08)
This paper explores the notion that people who believe in psychic ability possess various psychological attributes that increase the likelihood of them misattributing paranormal causation to experiences that have a normal ...
In-vitro and in-vivo studies on a topical formulation of sitamaquine dihydrochloride for cutaneous leishmaniasis
(2006-08)
The efficacy of topical formulations of the 8-aminoquinoline, sitamaquine dihydrochloride, in both in-vitro and in in-vivo models of cutaneous leishmaniasis is reported. In-vitro parasite assays confirmed that sitamaquine ...
Postgraduate education for advanced practitioners : a novel approach to course design
(2006-08)

Schistosome cercarial interactions with human keratinocytes and langerhans cells
(2006-08)
The human parasite, Schistosoma mansoni is known to modulate host immune responses in order to promote its own survival. However, studies investigating the interaction between the skin-invading cercarial stage and cells ...
Spectral analysis of the DNA targeting bisalkylaminoanthraquinone DRAQ5 in intact living cells
(2006-08)
We report on the potential DNA binding modes and spectral characteristics of the cell-permeant far red fluorescent DNA dye, DRAQ5, in solution and bound within intact cells. Our aim was to determine the constraints for its ...
Of two minds: Sceptic-proponent collaboration within parapsychology
(2006-08)
The first author, a proponent of evidence for psychic ability, and the second, a sceptic, have been conducting a systematic programme of collaborative sceptic-proponent research in parapsychology. This has involved carrying ...
