Stromule formation is dependent upon plastid size, plastid differentiation status and the density of plastids within the cell (2004)
Journal Article

Stromules are motile extensions of the plastid envelope membrane, whose roles are not fully understood. They are present on all plastid types but are more common and extensive on non-green plastids that are sparsely distributed within the cell. Durin...

A pattern matching technique for measuring sediment displacement levels (2004)
Journal Article

This paper describes a novel technique for obtaining accurate, high (spatial) resolution measurements of sediment redeposition levels. A sequence of different random patterns are projected onto a sediment layer and captured using a high-resolution ca...

Mucosal vaccination against serogroup B meningococci: Induction of bactericidal antibodies and cellular immunity following intranasal immunization with NadA of Neisseria meningitidis and mutants of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (2004)
Journal Article

Conjugated polysaccharide vaccines protect against serogroup C meningococci. However, this approach cannot be applied to serogroup B, which is still a major cause of meningitis. We evaluated the immunogenicity of three surface-exposed proteins from s...

Effects of fungicides on eyespot, caused predominantly by Oculimacula acuformis, and yield of early-drilled winter wheat (2004)
Journal Article

The effectiveness against eyespot of nine fungicide treatments, applied at GS 31, was evaluated in early-drilled winter wheat crops. Visual assessments of stem-base diseases were made before fungicide application and at GS 39/55 and 69/70 of cultivar...

Advances in the understanding of susceptibility to treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia (2004)
Journal Article

Treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML) is a devastating complication following exposure to the cytotoxic and genotoxic agents used to treat a primary malignancy. Whilst the incidence of t-AML is rising, it still only occurs in a minority o... Read More about Advances in the understanding of susceptibility to treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia.

Exploring the provision of social support within a computer-mediated huntington's disease support network (2004)
Journal Article

Objectives: The unique constraints placed upon the Huntington's Disease [HD] carer, and the lack of time and social support identified by this group may make computer-mediated support groups a unique channel of social support for these individuals. T... Read More about Exploring the provision of social support within a computer-mediated huntington's disease support network.

Virtual-Build-to-Order as a Mass Customization Order Fulfilment Model (2004)
Journal Article

Virtual-build-to-order (VBTO) is a form of order fulfilment system in which the producer has the ability to search across the entire pipeline of finished stock, products in production and those in the production plan, in order to find the best produc...

DnaG interacts with a linker region that joins the N- and C-domains of DnaB and induces the formation of 3-fold symmetric rings (2004)
Journal Article

Loading of the replicative ring helicase onto the origin of replication (oriC) is the final outcome of a well coordinated series of events that collectively constitute a primosomal cascade. Once the ring helicase is loaded, it recruits the primase an...

Clonal haemopoiesis may occur after conventional chemotherapy and is associated with accelerated telomere shortening and defects in the NQO1 pathway; possible mechanisms leading to an increased risk of t-AML/MDS (2004)
Journal Article

The molecular pathogenesis of therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (t-AML/MDS) remains uncertain. However, clonal haemopoiesis may develop following stem cell transplantation and precede the development of t-AML/MDS. Moreo...

A randomised controlled trial of a care home rehabilitation service to reduce long-term institutionalisation for elderly people (2004)
Journal Article

Objectives: to evaluate the effect of a care home rehabilitation service on institutionalisation, health outcomes and service use. Design: randomised controlled trial, stratified by Barthel ADL index, social service sector and whether living alone...

Molecular evidence links cryptic diversification in polar planktonic protists to Quaternary climate dynamics (2004)
Journal Article

It is unknown how pelagic marine protists undergo diversification and speciation. Superficially, the open ocean appears homogeneous, with few clear barriers to gene flow, allowing extensive, even global, dispersal. Yet, despite the apparent lack of o...

Expression of calpastatin isoforms in muscle and functionality of multiple calpastatin promoters (2004)
Journal Article

Calpastatin is the specific endogenous inhibitor of calpain proteinase that is encoded by a single gene. Transient transfection assays in both a non-fusing skeletal muscle and non-muscle cell-line demonstrated that the putative porcine calpastatin pr...

Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy (2004)
Journal Article

With reference to South Asia, we argue that recourse to the conventional structuralist and transition accounts of democratisation sustains an unhelpful dichotomy. Those approaches tend towards either determinism or agent-driven contingency. In contra... Read More about Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy.
