Tuning the interactions between electron spins in fullerene-based triad systems (2014)
Journal Article

A series of six fullerene-linker-fullerene triads have been prepared by the stepwise addition of the fullerene cages to bridging moieties thus allowing the systematic variation of fullerene cage (C60 or C70) and linker (oxalate or terephthalate) and...

Inelastic neutron scattering study of binding of para-hydrogen in an ultra-microporous metal-organic framework (2014)
Journal Article

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show promise for H2 storage and it is widely predicted by computational modelling that MOFs incorporating ultra-micropores are optimal for H2 binding due to enhanced overlapping potentials. We report the invest... Read More about Inelastic neutron scattering study of binding of para-hydrogen in an ultra-microporous metal-organic framework.

Studies on metal-organic frameworks of Cu(II) with isophthalate linkers for hydrogen storage (2014)
Journal Article

Hydrogen (H2) is a promising alternative energy carrier due to its environmental benefits, high energy density and its abundance. However, development of a practical storage system to enable the “Hydrogen Economy” remains a huge challenge. Metal-orga...

Design challenges in the use of silicon carbide JFETs in matrix converter applications (2013)
Journal Article

This paper investigates some of the challenges en¬countered during the implementation of a Silicon Carbide JFET matrix converter which has been designed to meet a specific power density of 20kW/litre with forced air cooling. After a brief introductio... Read More about Design challenges in the use of silicon carbide JFETs in matrix converter applications.

Cooperation in small groups: the effect of group size (2013)
Journal Article

We study the effect of group size on cooperation in voluntary contribution mechanism games. As in previous experiments, we study four- and eight-person groups in high and low marginal per capita return (MPCR) conditions. We find a positive effect of...

Redox Environment, Free Radical, and Oxidative DNA Damage (2013)
Journal Article

Expression of the calpain system is associated with poor clinical outcome in gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinomas (2013)
Journal Article

A comparative study of adhesion of melanoma and breast cancer cells to blood and lymphatic endothelium (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an important step in the metastatic cascade; tumor cell migration and adhesion to blood and lymphatic vessels is followed by invasion through the vessel wall and subsequent systemic spread. Although prim... Read More about A comparative study of adhesion of melanoma and breast cancer cells to blood and lymphatic endothelium.

The prognostic and predictive power of redox rotein expression for anthracycline-based chemotherapy response in locally advanced breast cancer (2012)
Journal Article

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become the standard of care for locally advanced primary breast cancer. Anthracycline-based regimens have proven to be one of the most effective treatments in this setting. As certain cytotoxic antineoplastic agents, such...

Base Excision Repair, the Redox Environment and Therapeutic Implications (2012)
Journal Article

Control of redox homeostasis is crucial for a number of cellular processes with deregulation leading to a number of serious consequences including oxidative damage such induction of DNA base lesions. The DNA lesions caused by oxidative damage are pri... Read More about Base Excision Repair, the Redox Environment and Therapeutic Implications.

Expression of thioredoxin system and related peroxiredoxin proteins is associated with clinical outcome in radiotherapy treated early stage breast cancer (2011)
Journal Article

Background and purpose Deregulated redox systems provide cancer cells protection from increased oxidative stress, such as that induced by ionizing radiation. Expression of the thioredoxin system proteins (thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and thior... Read More about Expression of thioredoxin system and related peroxiredoxin proteins is associated with clinical outcome in radiotherapy treated early stage breast cancer.

Calpain-1 expression is associated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab following adjuvant chemotherapy (2011)
Journal Article

The calpain family, and their endogenous inhibitor calpastatin, has been implicated in cancer progression, and recent in vitro data have indicated a role in trastuzumab resistance. The aims of our study were to examine expression levels of calpastati...

Redox Protein Expression Predicts Radiotherapeutic Response in Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer Patients (2011)
Journal Article

Purpose Early-stage invasive breast cancer patients have commonly undergone breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy. In a large majority of these patients, the treatment is effective; however, a proportion will develop local recurrence. Deregul...
