Pathogenesis, parasitism and mutualism in the trophic space of microbe-plant interactions
(2010-08)
Microbe host interactions can be categorised as pathogenic, parasitic or mutualistic, but in practice few examples exactly fit these descriptions. New molecular methods are providing insights into the dynamics of microbe ...
Nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 is a dominant pathway for NOS2 induction in vascular smooth muscle cells : Comparison with Toll-like receptor 4 responses in macrophages
(2010-08)
Background and purpose: Gram-negative bacteria contain ligands for Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD) 1 receptors. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates TLR4, while peptidoglycan products ...
"The past is a foreign country"
(2010-08)
Over recent years this journal has published many articles highlighting and evidencing the development of advanced practice in Radiography. Intrinsic to many aspects of advancing practice is the responsibility of radiographers ...
Opportunities in china’s nuclear energy programme
(The Energy Industries Council (EIC), 2010-08)
Despite a slow start, China has ambitious hopes for its nuclear energy programme with plans to accelerate its installed nuclear power capacity to 80GWe by 2020, up nearly tenfold on current levels. As the industry evolves ...
Analysis of double-chamber parallel valveless micropumps
(2010-08)
The characteristics of a double-chamber valveless parallel micropump are analysed using a one-dimensional non-linear model. The relationships between the mean volume flux, pressure difference and (measurable) characteristics ...
Intelligent Model-Based Advisory System for the Management of Ventilated Intensive Care Patients – Part I : Hybrid Blood Gas Patient Model
(2010-08)
Arterial blood gas (ABG) analyses are essential for assessing the acid–base status and guiding the adjustment of mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients. Conventional ABG sampling requires repeated arterial ...
