Developments in wavelength division multiple access networking
(1998-12-01)
The last few years have seen a growing interest in WDM for optical networks in order to increase capacity and overcome the electronic bottleneck. Alongside the improvement in WDM components there has been continuing ...
Methods for assessment of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the UK
(1998-12)
Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) was assessed as % plants with light leaf spot, % leaves with light leaf spot or % leaf area with light leaf spot in winter oilseed rape field experiments done at different sites ...
Identification of a truncated form of the CC chemokine CKβ-8 demonstrating greatly enhanced biological activity
(1998-12-01)
A new CC chemokine, designated CKβ-8 or myeloid progenitor inhibitor factor-1, was recently identified in a large scale sequencing effort and was cloned from a human aortic endothelial library. CKβ-8 cDNA encodes a signal ...
Farm-level assessment of the nutrient balance in northern Nigeria.
(1998-12-01)
The farming system of the Kano close-settled zone, northern Nigeria, is known for its longevity and continued productivity in spite of population increases in the area. Mounting circumstantial evidence has led to its ...
Explosive nucleosynthesis close to the drip lines
(1998-11)
We give an overview of explosive burning and the role which neutron and/or proton separation energies play. We focus then on the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) which encounters unstable nuclei with neutron ...
British pharmaceuticals : a cautionary tale
(1998-11-01)
British pharmaceuticals is generally represented as a successful sector which illustrates the potential of knowledge-intensive, high-value-added activities. this article presents a revisionist account based on evidence and ...
Differential release of dopamine by nitric oxide in subregions of rat caudate putamen slices
(1998-11)
Fast cyclic voltammetry was used to measure NO and dopamine (DA) simultaneously in rat caudate putamen (CPu) slices. Analysis of electrochemical signals obtained from mixtures of DA and NO showed that subtraction of either ...
Neutron capture cross section of Ti-44
(1998-10)
The cross section for thermal neutron capture by radioactive Ti-44 was measured to be sigma(gamma) = 1.1 +/- 0.2 b. This result was shown to be in agreement with a direct capture calculation. Possible implications of the ...
The primacy model: A new model of immediate serial recall
(1998-10)
A new model of immediate serial recall is presented: the primacy model. The primacy model stores order information by means of the assumption that the strength of activation of successive list items decreases across list ...
