Generation of a ribosomal DNA probe by PCR and its use in identification of fungi within the Gaeumannomyces-Phialophora complex
(1992-12)The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a ribosomal DNA fragment from Gaewnannomyces graminis. This fragment was labelled and tested for its usefulness as a probe in restriction fragment length polymorphism ... -
The IMO virtual meteor observatory (VMO) : Architectural design
(2008-06-01)This paper describes the progress on the Virtual Meteor Observatory (VMO), a database which is being developed at ESA/RSSD to store video meteor observations and their derived orbits. The VMO was triggered by a discussion ... -
Exploring the dilemma of local sourcing versus international development : The case of the flower industry
(2008-07)This paper examines the debate surrounding local versus international sourcing of retail products, particularly food and flowers, in light of the emerging carbon imperative. It begins by examining the Fairtrade market and ... -
The Venus ground-based image Active Archive : A database of amateur observations of Venus in ultraviolet and infrared light
(2008-08-01)The Venus ground-based image Active Archive is an online database designed to collect ground-based images of Venus in such a way that they are optimally useful for science. The Archive was built to support ESA's Venus ... -
Liberation and Containment : Re-visualizing the Eugenic and Evolutionary Ideal of the Fizkul’turnitsa in 1944
(2008-09-06)Soviet newspaper articles indicate that one way in which the liberation of Soviet territory was celebrated in 1944 was through sporting events, such as cross-country races in Ukraine – one of the territories most severely ... -
Experimental study of the (91)Zr(n, gamma) reaction up to 26 keV
(2008-10)The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes are relevant to studies in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and nuclear technology. The valence neutron of (91)Zr with respect to the neutron magic nucleus ... -

The Effect of Phenyl Substituents on C-13 NMR Shifts and Metal Ions Binding to 4-Phenyl-2,4-Dioxobutanoic Acid Derivatives
(2008-12)Butanoic moiety of 4-aryl-2,4-dioxobutanoic acids is involved in interactions with metal ions within HIV-1 integrase active site. Sixteen congeneric 4-phenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoic acid derivatives with different substitution ... -
The impact of assimilation of satellite derived wind observations for the prediction of a monsoon depression over India using a mesoscale model
(2008-12-20)The Penn State/NCAR mesoscale model (MM5) has been used in this study to ingest and assimilate the INSAT-CMV (Indian National Satellite System-Cloud Motion Vector) wind observations using analysis nudging (four-dimensional ... -
Barriers to Harmony : Divergent approaches to copyright law and collective copyright management
(2008-12-31)Divergent types of copyright law leading to divergences in the management of copyright- despite global harmonisation initiatives- prevent the emergence of a globally unified licensing system for music -
Multi-walled carbon nanotube increases the excitability of hippocampal CA1 neurons through inhibition of potassium channels in rat’s brain slices
(2013-02-27)This study was to investigate the neurotoxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) by measuring neuronal excitability in rat hippocampal neurons and exploring the underlying mechanism. Whole cell patch-clamp technique ... -
Mixed infection by Clostridium difficile in an in vitro model of the human gut
(2013)OBJECTIVES: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is still a major clinical challenge. Previous studies have demonstrated multiple distinct C. difficile strains in the faeces of patients with CDI; yet whether true mixed ... -

Neutron-induced fission cross section measurement of U-233, Am-241 and Am-243 in the energy range 0.5 MeV
(2012-10)Neutron-induced fission cross section measurements of U-233, Am-243 and Am-241 relative to U-235 have been carried out at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. A fast ionization chamber has been employed. All ... -
The World Health Organization Engaging with Civil Society Networks to Promote Primary Health Care : A Case Study
(2012-12-31)Engagement between the World Health Organization (WHO) and civil society organizations (CSOs), gains importance as CSOs increase their contribution to public health; particularly to primary health care. To better engage ... -
Mind-mapping : An effective technique to facilitate requirements engineering in agile software development
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Merging agile with more traditional approaches in software development is a challenging task, especially when requirements are concerned: the main temptation is to let two opposite schools of thought become rigid in their ... -
Improvement in the transition of a student from secondary or further education into science higher education : Is there a mismatch between staff and students' expectations as to what is required to study science?
(2009)The aim this project is to consider if we can improve the transition of a student from secondary or further education into science higher education by analysing whether there is a mismatch between staff and students’ ... -
