Bioaccumulation of metals by lichens: Uptake of aqueous uranium by Peltigera membranacea as a function of time and pH (1998)
Journal Article

Uranium sorption experiments were carried out at ∼25 °C using natural samples of the lichen Peltigera membranacea. Thalli were incubated in solutions containing 100 ppm U for up to 24 h at pH values from 2 to 10. Equilibrium sorption was not observed...

The characterisation of fluid transport in porous solids by means of pulsed magnetic field gradient NMR (1998)
Journal Article

The determination, by pulsed field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), of the probability distributions (propagators) of displacements for fluids undergoing transport by both flow and self- diffusion within porous solids is outlined. The... Read More about The characterisation of fluid transport in porous solids by means of pulsed magnetic field gradient NMR.

Coexpression of gastrin and gastrin receptors (CCK-B and ΔCCK-B) in gastrointestinal tumour cell lines (1998)
Journal Article

Background - The peptide hormone gastrin is a recognised growth factor for gastrointestinal (GI) tumour cells. Carboxyamidated gastrins bind to the cell surface gastrin/cholecystokinin B (CCK-B) receptor which can be expressed as either a normal or a...

Analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 env and gag sequence variants derived from a mother and two vertically infected children provides evidence for the transmission of multiple sequence variants (1998)
Journal Article

In order to investigate the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) from mother-to-child we have examined serial plasma RNA samples obtained from a mother over an eight year period spanning four pregnancies. Child 1 and 2 (born Ja...

Journal Article

Role for lichen melanins in uranium remediation (1998)
Journal Article

Lichens are successful colonizers in extreme terrestrial habitats world-wide, including metalliferous environments1. Their ability to accumulate metals has led to their use in monitoring radionuclide fall-out from Chernobyl and uranium uptake from du...

Hexagonal patterns in finite domains (1998)
Journal Article

In many mathematical models for pattern formation, a regular hexagonal pattern is stable in an infinite region. However, laboratory and numerical experiments are carried out in finite domains, and this imposes certain constraints on the possible patt... Read More about Hexagonal patterns in finite domains.
