Journal Article
Heasman, L., Brameld, J., Mostyn, A., Budge, H., Dawson, J., Buttery, P., Stephenson, T., & Symonds, M. E. (2000). Maternal nutrient restriction during early to mid gestation alters the relationship between insulin-like growth factor I and bodyweight at term in fetal sheep. Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 12(7-8), 345-350. https://doi.org/10.1071/RD00115

The present study was designed to determine whether altered placental size, as a consequence of maternal nutrient restriction in sheep between 28 and 77 days gestation, is associated with a modified relationship between fetal weight or dimensions and...

Journal Article
Swanson, D. M. (2000). Teaching Mathematics in Two Independent School Contexts: The Construction of "Good Practice". Educational Insights, 6(1),

This paper compares constructions of mathematics teaching and learning practices in two geographically different school contexts. It looks at the constructions of "good practice" within the schooling communities across these two contexts and describe...

Myc and YY1 mediate activation of the Surf-1 promoter in response to serum growth factors (2000)
Journal Article
Vernon, E. G., & Gaston, K. (2000). Myc and YY1 mediate activation of the Surf-1 promoter in response to serum growth factors. BBA - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1492(1), 172-179. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-4781%2800%2900116-0

The human Surf-1 and Surf-2 genes are divergently transcribed and share a single bi-directional promoter. The addition of serum growth factors to serum-starved cells activates transcription in the Surf-1 direction, but has no effect on transcription...

Objective: To identify the factors associated with carer strain following stroke.

Design: Co-resident spouses of stroke patients were sent questionnaire measures of their perceptions of strain, stress, mood, handicap, adjustment, social support, l... Read More about Factors associated with strain in co-resident spouses of patients following stroke.

Molecular evidence for genetic mixing of Arctic and Antarctic subpolar populations of planktonic foraminifers (2000)
Journal Article
Darling, K. F., Wade, C. M., Stewart, I. A., Kroon, D., Dingle, R., & Leigh Brown, A. J. (2000). Molecular evidence for genetic mixing of Arctic and Antarctic subpolar populations of planktonic foraminifers. Nature, 405(6782), 43-47. https://doi.org/10.1038/35011002

Bipolarity, the presence of a species in the high latitudes separated by a gap in distribution across the tropics, is a well-known pattern of global species distribution. But the question of whether bipolar species have evolved independently at the p...

The human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E2 protein induces apoptosis in the absence of other HPV proteins and via a p53-dependent pathway (2000)
Journal Article
Webster, K., Parish, J., Pandya, M., Stern, P. L., Clarke, A. R., & Gaston, K. (2000). The human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E2 protein induces apoptosis in the absence of other HPV proteins and via a p53-dependent pathway. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 275(1), 87-94. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.275.1.87

The human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein regulates viral gene expression and is also required for viral replication. HPV-transformed cells often contain chromosomally integrated copies of the HPV genome in which the viral E2 gene is disrupted. We ha...

'Exploiting problem structure in a genetic algorithm approach to a nurse rostering problem' (2000)
Journal Article
Aickelin, U., & Dowsland, K. (2000). 'Exploiting problem structure in a genetic algorithm approach to a nurse rostering problem'

There is considerable interest in the use of genetic algorithms to solve problems arising in the areas of scheduling and timetabling. However, the classical genetic algorithm paradigm is not well equipped to handle the conflict between objectives and...

A Lorentzian Signature Model for Quantum General Relativity (2000)
Journal Article
Barrett, J. W., & Crane, L. (2000). A Lorentzian Signature Model for Quantum General Relativity

We give a relativistic spin network model for quantum gravity based on the Lorentz group and its q-deformation, the Quantum Lorentz Algebra.
We propose a combinatorial model for the path integral given by an integral over suitable representations of... Read More about A Lorentzian Signature Model for Quantum General Relativity.

Structures of confinement in nineteenth-century asylums, using England and Ontario as a comparative study (2000)
Journal Article
Bartlett, P. (2000). Structures of confinement in nineteenth-century asylums, using England and Ontario as a comparative study. International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, 23(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/S0160-2527%2898%2900041-7

Traditionally, historians of the care of the insane have understood their work as a branch of medical history. This paper focuses instead on the administrative structures of nineteenth century asylums. These are geographically specific and historica...

The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within endothelial cells may have several effects, including
alterations in the activity of paracrine factors, gene expression, apoptosis, and cellular injury. Recent studies indicate that
a phagocyte... Read More about Molecular Characterization and Localization of the NAD(P)H Oxidase Components gp91-phox and p22-phox in Endothelial Cells.
