Adolescents’ perceptions of the costs and benefits of food additives and their presence in different foods (2002)
Journal Article

A questionnaire concerning the use of additives in foods was completed by 572 high school students aged 12–15 years. Participants recorded how often they ate each of 16 common foods, and rated the relative levels of colourings, flavourings, preservat...

Comparison and integration of genetic maps generated from F2 and BC1-type mapping populations in perennial ryegrass (2002)
Journal Article

Linkage maps of perennial ryegrass were constructed from F2 and BC1?type populations using, predominantly, restriction fragment length polymorphism data based on heterologous probes used in mapping other grass species. The maps identified seven linka... Read More about Comparison and integration of genetic maps generated from F2 and BC1-type mapping populations in perennial ryegrass.

Nasal immunization with homogenate and peptide antigens induces protective immunity against Trichinella spiralis (2002)
Journal Article

Mice were successfully immunized against the intestinal nematode Trichinella spiralis by intranasal administration of a 30-mer peptide antigen with cholera toxin B. Immunized mice developed antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G1, intestinal immunog...

The genotype distribution of the XRCC1 gene indicates a role for base excision repair in the development of therapy-related acute myeloblastic leukemia (2002)
Journal Article

Polymorphisms in several DNA repair genes have been described. These polymorphisms may affect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility by means of gene-environment interactions. We investigated DNA repair capacity and its association wi...

The Countdown Problem (2002)
Journal Article

We systematically develop a functional program that solves the countdown problem, a numbers game in which the aim is to construct arithmetic expressions satisfying certain constraints. Starting from a formal specification of the problem, we present... Read More about The Countdown Problem.

The proteolytic activity of the major dust mite allergen Der p 1 conditions dendritic cells to produce less interleukin-12: Allergen-induced Th2 bias determined at the dendritic cell level (2002)
Journal Article

Background: The proteolytic activity of the house dust mite allergen Der p 1 has recently been shown to bias Th cell subset development in favour of Th2. Apart from its direct effect on T cells, it is conceivable that the proteolytic activity of Der...
