Neutron-induced nucleosynthesis
(1996-11)Neutron-induced nucleosynthesis plays an important role in astrophysical scenarios like in primordial nucleosynthesis in the early universe, in the s-process occurring in Red Giants, and in the cu-rich freeze-out and ... -
An in-vitro study of the effect of hydrocolloid patch occlusion on the penetration of triamcinolone acetonide through skin in man
(1996-08)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusion using hydrocolloid-containing patches on in-vitro triamcinolone acetonide (TACA) penetration of the epidermis while monitoring the uptake of water by the patches ... -
Neutron-rich isotopes Ti-54-57
(1996-12)The neutron-rich isotopes Ti-54-57 and Cr-58-60 are produced by fragmentation of a 64.5 MeV/nucleon Cu-65(26+) beam in a 90 mg/cm(2) Be-9 target. Following particle identification by energy loss and time of flight, the ... -
The patients' experiences of their chronic non-malignant pain
(1996-12)This paper reports the results of a study which investigated the experiences of 75 people with chronic non-malignant pain.People with chronic non-malignant pain can find that traditional medical techniques do not help their ... -
Relationships among Fusarium spp estimated by comparing restriction fragment length polymorphisms in polymerase chain reaction-amplified nuclear rDNA
(1996-12)Nuclear rDNA from 120 isolates of 34 Fusarium spp. and Microdochium nivale was compared by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis after polymerase chain reaction amplification. The RFLPs allowed differentiation ... -
Genetic parameters for faecal egg count following mixed, natural, predominantly Ostertagia circumcinta infection and relationships with live weight in young lambs
(1996-12)Faecal egg counts and live weights were measured on approximately 200 predominantly twin-born Scottish Blackface lambs each year for 3 years, from 2 to 6 months of age. Measurements were made at 4-week intervals following ... -
Effects of wetness period and temperature on development of dark pod spot (Alternaria brassicae) on oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(1996-12)In controlled environment experiments, when oilseed rape pods or leaves were inoculated with spore suspensions of Alternaria brassicae, the maximum disease incidence (proportion of pods or leaves diseased) increased as ... -
Susceptibility of standard clones and European field populations of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, and the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to the novel anthranilic diamide insecticide cyantraniliprole
(2012-04)BACKGROUND: Parthenogenetic clones of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), and the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, were tested with the anthranilic diamide insecticide cyantraniliprole (i.e. DuPont (TM) ... -
Resistance to spiromesifen in Trialeurodes vaporariorum is associated with a single amino acid replacement in its target enzyme acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase
(2012-06)Spiromesifen is a novel insecticide and is classed as a tetronic acid derivative. It targets the insects' acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme, causing a reduction in lipid biosynthesis. At the time of this ... -
Resonance neutron-capture cross sections of stable magnesium isotopes and their astrophysical implications
(2012-04-20)We have measured the neutron capture cross sections of the stable magnesium isotopes Mg-24,Mg-25,Mg-26 in the energy range of interest to the s process using the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Capture events ... -
Mutations in the sodium channel associated with pyrethroid resistance in the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum
(2012-06)BACKGROUND: Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood is an important pest of protected crops in temperate regions of the world. Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is long established in this species, but the molecular basis ... -
Revealing children’s implicit spelling representations
(2013-06)Conceptualizing the underlying representations and cognitive mechanisms of children's spelling development is a key challenge for literacy researchers. Using the Representational Redescription model (Karmiloff-Smith), ... -
Primary Colorectal Cancer : Use of Kinetic Modeling of Dynamic Contrast-enhanced CT Data to Predict Clinical Outcome
(2013-04)To compare four different tracer kinetic models for the analysis of dynamic contrast material–enhanced computed tomographic (CT) data with respect to the prediction of 5-year overall survival in primary colorectal cancer -
Incubation and Creativity : Do Something Different
(2013)The experiment reported here investigated interactions between the type of creative task (verbal or spatial) and the type of incubation activity (verbal or spatial) on creative performance. The experiment used a verbal ... -
Evaluation of NVB302 versus vancomycin activity in an in vitro human gut model of Clostridium difficile infection
(2013)OBJECTIVES: First-line treatment options for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) are limited. NVB302 is a novel type B lantibiotic under evaluation for the treatment of CDI. We compared the responses to NVB302 and ... -
Assessment of tumor heterogeneity by CT texture analysis : Can the largest cross-sectional area be used as an alternative to whole tumor analysis?
(2013)To determine if there is a difference between contrast enhanced CT texture features from the largest cross-sectional area versus the whole tumor, and its effect on clinical outcome prediction. Methods: Entropy (E) and ... -
A kitchen-based intervention to improve nutritional intake from school lunches in children aged 12-16 years
(2013-06)Background: School lunches potentially provide an important source of nutrients for children but studies have shown that their food choices are not always associated with health benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the ... -

Re: There is no evidence base for proposed dementia screening
(2013-01-04)While the cost and possible harm to the patient of current drugs may compromise a dementia screening programme, the potential benefits of dietary modification should be considered. Several well-conducted prospective trials ... -
