Dermabrasion - a novel concept in the surgical management of sulphur mustard injuries
(2000-02)Since its first use on the battlefields of Northern France during the First World War (1914-1918), sulphur mustard has remained a significant chemical threat to military forces around the world. Progress towards an effective ... -
Non-invasive quantification of skin injury resulting from exposure to sulphur mustard and Lewisite vapours
(2000-05)The severity and progression of skin lesions resulting from exposure to the chemical warfare agents Lewisite (L) and sulphur mustard (SM) have been investigated using the non-invasive biophysical methods of evaporimetry ... -
Modified ShuffleNet for Multihop All-Optical WDM Networks Employing Wavelength Reuse
(2000)A modified multihop ShuffleNet configuration for WDM all-optical networks is described which is rearrangeable and allows wavelength reuse at each node as it expands. This configuration does not require any rearrangement ... -
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 ... -
New wavelength assignment schemes for wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks
(2000)The passive optical network has been shown to be a cost effective method of introducing fibre to the access network. However, the expected increase in demand for broadband services will inevitably mean that upgrades in ... -
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 ... -
Identification of target amino acids that affect interactions of fungal polygalacturonases and their plant inhibitors
(2000)Plant polygalacturonase inhibitor proteins (PGIPs) bind fungal polygalacturonases (PGs), but inhibition specificities and kinetics vary within and among species. Purified bean PGIP inhibited all fungal PGs we tested, ... -
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 ... -
Effects of diseases on the growth and yield of spring linseed (Linum usitatissimum), 1988-1998
(2000-06)In spring linseed field experiments with fungicides at Rothamsted from 1988 to 1998, substantial yield losses associated with diseases occurred in three years and slight losses could be associated with diseases in other ... -
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 ... -
Induced plant defense responses against chewing insects : Ethylene signaling reduces resistance of Arabidopsis against Egyptian cotton worm but not diamondback moth
(2000)The induction of plant defenses by insect feeding is regulated via multiple signaling cascades. One of them, ethylene signaling, increases susceptibility of Arabidopsis to the generalist herbivore Egyptian cotton worm ... -
Spectroscopy-based modelling of the 3D structure of the β subunit of the high affinity IgE receptor
(2000)The high affinity IgE receptor, possesses a tetrameric structure. The 243 residue β subunit is a polytopic protein with four hydrophobic membrane-spanning segments, whereas the individual α and γ subunits are bitopic ... -
Music Experience and Behaviour in Young People : 2009 National Survey
(UKMusic, 2009)Originality: This research represents the second report of the first major UK academic study of its kind investigating the online music consumption habits of 14-24 year olds. This report is the second of three annual ... -
Nitrogen-14 Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Spectroscopy: : a powerful new analytical methodology for medicines authentication and counterfeit antimalarial analysis
(2013-02-05)We report the detection and analysis of a suspected counterfeit sample of the antimalarial medicine Metakelfin through developing Nitrogen-14 Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (14N NQR) spectroscopy at a quantitative level. The ... -
Capture of a particles by isospin-symmetric nuclei
(2000-08-14)The reaction rates for ct capture processes on self-conjugate nuclei in the mass range A = 20-40 have been investigated. The rates were calculated using the statistical model code NON-SMOKER taking into account isospin ... -
Experimental simulation of a stellar photon bath by bremsstrahlung: the astrophysical gamma-process
(2000-08-31)The nucleosynthesis of heavy proton-rich nuclei in a stellar photon bath at temperatures of the astrophysical gamma-process was investigated where the photon bath was simulated by the superposition of bremsstrahlung spectra ...
