Journal Article
Webb, K. F., Merriman-Smith, B. R., Stobie, J. K., Kistler, J., & Donaldson, P. J. (2004). Cl− Influx into Rat Cortical Lens Fiber Cells Is Mediated by a Cl− Conductance That Is Not ClC-2 or -3. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 45(12), 4400-4408. https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.04-0205

PURPOSE. Exposure of organ-cultured lenses to C1- channel blockers under isotonic conditions induces a localized cortical zone of extracellular space dilations. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether elongated lens fiber cells from this...

An assessment of the bioaccumulation of estrone in Daphnia magna (2004)
Journal Article
Gomes, R. L., Deacon, H. E., Lai, K. M., Birkett, J. W., Scrimshaw, M. D., & Lester, J. N. (2004). An assessment of the bioaccumulation of estrone in Daphnia magna. Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 23(1), 105-108. https://doi.org/10.1897/02-613

The bioaccumulation of estrone by Daphnia magna was determined. Direct uptake via the aqueous medium occurred within the first 16 h. A bioconcentration factor of 228 was established over all temporal periods. Ingestion via Chlorella vulgaris gave a p...

Cardiac surgery training in a realistic surgical environment is assisted by a simulator based on an electromechanical pneumatic pump with associated control and display software. In this paper we describe a feedback mechanism for controlling the beat... Read More about Cardiac training simulator using pump with electronic pressure sensor to trigger ventricular fibrillation.

Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters (2003)
Journal Article
Gomes, R. L., Scrimshaw, M. D., & Lester, J. N. (2003). Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters. Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 22(10), 697-707. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-9936%2803%2901010-0

The presence of numerous endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) in surface waters and sediment has been primarily attributed to their incomplete removal in the sewage-treatment process. Determination of these chemicals is required in order to assess t... Read More about Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters.
