Magnetic fields in massive star-forming regions
(2007-12-01)
We present the largest sample of high-mass star-forming regions observed using sub- millimetre imaging polarimetry. The data were taken using SCUBA in conjunction with the polarimeter on the JCMT in Hawaii. In total, 16 ...
The look-back time evolution of far-ultraviolet flux from the brightest cluster elliptical galaxies at z <0.2
(2007-12-01)
We present the GALEXUV photometry of the elliptical galaxies in Abell clusters at moderate redshifts (z <0.2) for the study of the look-back time evolution of the UV upturn phenomenon. The brightest elliptical galaxies (M ...

Homeostatic role of toll-like receptor 4 in the endothelium and heart
(2007-12)
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a pattern recognition receptor for lipopolysaccharide from Gram negative bacteria and thus is integral to the innate immune response in mammals. In addition, TLR4 is associated with atherosclerosis ...
Development of a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the detection of Amasya cherry disease
(2007-12)
A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure was developed to detect Amasya cherry disease (ACD) in naturally infected sweet cherry (Prunus avium) leaves sampled from Turkey. The procedure was based ...
A modified procedure for isolating double-stranded RNA: Application to diagnosis of Amasya cherry disease
(2007-12)
A novel method of isolating double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from cherry leaves affected with Amasya cherry disease (ACD) using silica capture in combination with non-ionic cellulose was developed. Unfractionated RNAs prepared ...
The relationship between television advertising, children's viewing and their requests to Father Christmas
(2007-12)
Objective: Children's letters to Father Christmas provide an opportunity to use naturalistic methods to investigate the influence of television advertising. Methods: This study investigates the number of toy requests in ...
