Scaling in a SU(2)/Z_3 model of cosmic superstring networks (2006)
Journal Article

Motivated by recent developments in superstring theory in the cosmological context, we examine a field theory which contains string networks with 3-way junctions. We perform numerical simulations of this model, identify the length scales of the netwo... Read More about Scaling in a SU(2)/Z_3 model of cosmic superstring networks.

The recognition of local DNA conformation by the human papillomavirus type 6 E2 protein (2006)
Journal Article

The E2 proteins are transcription/replication factors from papillomaviruses. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) can be broadly divided in two groups; low-risk HPV subtypes cause benign warts while high-risk HPVs give rise to cervical cancer. Although a ra...

Volatile emission by contest losers revealed by real-time chemical analysis (2006)
Journal Article

Animal interactions often involve chemical exchange but simultaneous evaluation of chemistry and behaviour has been problematical. Here we report findings from a novel method, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) coupl...

General practice characteristics associated with rates of testing and detection of hepatitis C: Cross-sectional study in Nottingham and Derbyshire (2006)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to determine general practice characteristics associated with testing rates for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the proportion of tests with a positive result. The study included all patients tested for HCV from all general prac...

The Bacillus subtilis primosomal protein DnaD untwists supercoiled DNA (2006)
Journal Article

The essential Bacillus subtilis DnaD and DnaB proteins have been implicated in the initiation of DNA replication. Recently, DNA remodeling activities associated with both proteins were discovered that could provide a link between global or local nucl...

Centralising insolvencies of pan-European corporate groups: a creditor's dream or nightmare (2006)
Journal Article

Reflects on whether the EC's centralised approach to corporate insolvency within multinational groups of companies is likely to promote fairness to creditors. Considers the extent to which such a system fulfils creditors' expectations concerning the...

The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc (2006)
Journal Article

Results are presented from a modelling investigation into the response of a rotating, linearly stratified fluid to local forcing induced by a differentially rotating smooth, horizontal disc. Attention was directed at cases in which the disc forcing i... Read More about The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc.

A Porous Framework Polymer Based on a Zinc(II) 4,4‘-Bipyridine-2,6,2‘,6‘-tetracarboxylate:  Synthesis, Structure, and “Zeolite-Like” Behaviors (2006)
Journal Article

The robust metal-organic framework compound {[Zn2(L)] ·4H2O}∞ I has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of ZnCl2 and 4,4′-bipyridine-2,6, 2′,6′-tetracarboxylic acid (H4L). Compound I crystallizes in a chiral space group, P42212, with the chiral...

Spatio-temporal filtering properties of a dendritic cable with active spines: A modeling study in the spike-diffuse-spike framework (2006)
Journal Article

The spike-diffuse-spike (SDS) model describes a passive dendritic tree with active dendritic spines. Spine-head dynamics is modeled with a simple integrate-and-fire process, whilst communication between spines is mediated by the cable equation. In th...

Effect of eyespot caused by Oculimacula yallundae and O. acuformis, assessed visually and by competitive PCR, on stem strength associated with lodging resistance and yield of winter wheat (2006)
Journal Article

Winter wheat, (cv. Consort) was inoculated with three isolates of either Oculimacula yallundae or O. acuformis to determine the effect of eyespot caused by each species on yield and lodging resistance of winter wheat. Plants were visually assessed fo...

A Wel(l)come development: research funders and open access (2006)
Journal Article

This paper discusses the implications of the Wellcome Trust agreement with Blackwell, OUP and Springer in which authors of accepted papers are able to pay an open-access publication charge to make their article freely available online. In bringing to... Read More about A Wel(l)come development: research funders and open access.

Iterated integrals and higher order automorphic forms (2006)
Journal Article

Higher order automorphic forms have recently been introduced to study important questions in number theory and mathematical physics. We investigate the connection between these functions and Chen's iterated integrals. Then using Chen's theory, we pro... Read More about Iterated integrals and higher order automorphic forms.

Frequency of elemental events of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics (2006)
Journal Article

The dynamics of intracellular Ca²⁺ is driven by random events called Ca²⁺ puffs, in which Ca²⁺ is liberated from intracellular stores. We show that the emergence of Ca²⁺ puffs can be mapped to an escape process. The mean first passage times that corresp...

Scaling solutions and geodesics in moduli space (2006)
Journal Article

In this paper we consider cosmological scaling solutions in general relativity coupled to scalar fields with a non-trivial moduli space metric. We discover that the scaling property of the cosmology is synonymous with the scalar fields tracing out a... Read More about Scaling solutions and geodesics in moduli space.

Sexual and reproductive health in pregnant teenagers presenting for antenatal care or for termination (2006)

Regulating the Digital Television Infrastructure in the EU. Room for Citizenship Interests? (2006)
Journal Article

This article argues that the regulation of the DTV infrastructure cannot be limited to economic concerns and that it must also address citizenship values. The analysis focuses on the regulatory framework for electronic communications (eCommunications... Read More about Regulating the Digital Television Infrastructure in the EU.
