In vitro anthelmintic effects of cysteine proteinases from plants against intestinal helminths of rodents (2007)
Journal Article

Infections with gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes are amongst the most prevalent worldwide, especially in tropical climates. Control of these infections is primarily through treatment with anthelmintic drugs, but the rapid development of resistance to...

Social Regulation in the Air Transport Industry – An Examination of Regulation 1107/2006 concerning the Rights of Disabled Persons and Persons with Reduced Mobility when travelling by Air (2007)
Journal Article

The regulation of the air transport industry has implications for individuals not just in their capacity as consumers, but also as citizens. Transport goes beyond the mere provision of an economic service and enables us to be actively involved in eco...

Molecular phylogeny of the helicoid land snails (Pulmonata: Stylommatophora: Helicoidea), with special emphasis on the Camaenidae (2007)
Journal Article

The superfamily Helicoidea is a large and diverse group of land snails belonging to the Pulmonate suborder Stylommatophora. It has an almost worldwide distribution, absent from only sub-Saharan Africa, southern South America, New Zealand and some Pac...

Determination of the human antibody response to the epitope defined by the hepatitis C virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody AP33 (2007)
Journal Article

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease worldwide and there is a pressing need for the development of a preventative vaccine as well as new treatments. It was recently demonstrated that the mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) AP33 poten...

Modeling electrocortical activity through improved local approximations of integral neural field equations (2007)
Journal Article

Neural field models of firing rate activity typically take the form of integral equations with space-dependent axonal delays. Under natural assumptions on the synaptic connectivity we show how one can derive an equivalent partial differential equatio...

Can open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals coexist? (2007)
Journal Article

It is often assumed that open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals are in competition with each other and therefore will in the long term be unable to coexist. This paper takes a critical look at that assumption. It draws on the available e... Read More about Can open access repositories and peer-reviewed journals coexist?.

Roger Silverstone: An intellectual appreciation (2007)
Journal Article

A closer look at using quasar near-zones as a probe of neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (2007)
Journal Article

We examine a large set of synthetic quasar spectra to realistically assess the potential of using the relative sizes of highly ionized near-zones in the Lya and Lyb forest as a probe of the neutral hydrogen content of the intergalactic medium (IGM) a...

The observed ionization rate of the intergalactic medium and the ionizing emissivity at z >5: Evidence for a photon starved and extended epoch of reionization (2007)
Journal Article

We use a large set of hydrodynamical simulations, combined with measurements of the Lyman alpha opacity of the IGM taken from the literature, to obtain robust estimates for the photoionization rate per hydrogen atom at z=5 and 6. We find the photoion...

Low dose rapamycin does not modulate p-glycoprotein function in acute myeloid leukaemia (2007)

The small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) RNA gene as a genetic marker for identifying infective 3rd juvenile stage Angiostrongylus cantonensis (2007)
Journal Article

We have developed a molecular method using PCR-direct sequencing to identify the infective 3rd juvenile stage of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a nematode parasite of rodents that can accidentally infect humans and cause eosinophilic meningitis. We dem... Read More about The small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) RNA gene as a genetic marker for identifying infective 3rd juvenile stage Angiostrongylus cantonensis.

Sensing Danger: Innate Immunology for Intrusion Detection (2007)
Journal Article

The immune system provides an ideal metaphor for anomaly detection in general and computer security in particular. Based on this idea, artificial immune systems have been used for a number of years for intrusion detection, unfortunately so far with l...

Bumps and rings in a two-dimensional neural field: splitting and rotational instabilities (2007)
Journal Article

In this paper we consider instabilities of localised solutions in planar neural field firing rate models of Wilson-Cowan or Amari type. Importantly we show that angular perturbations can destabilise spatially localised solutions. For a scalar model...

P-glycoprotein is downregulated in KG1a-primitive leukemia cells by LDL cholesterol deprivation and by HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (2007)
Journal Article

Objective P-glycoprotein (pgp) is a membrane transporter encoded by the multidrug resistance (MDR1, ABCB1) gene. Pgp is a poor prognostic factor in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition to its role in drug efflux, pgp has b...

Human combinatorial libraries yield rare antibodies that broadly neutralize hepatitis C virus (2007)
Journal Article

One way to dissect the antibody response to an invading microorganism is to clone the antibody repertoire from immune donors and subsequently characterize the specific antibodies. Recently, methodological advances have allowed investigations of neutr... Read More about Human combinatorial libraries yield rare antibodies that broadly neutralize hepatitis C virus.

Asynchronous cooperative local search for the office-space-allocation problem (2007)
Journal Article

We investigate cooperative local search to improve upon known results of the office-space-allocation problem in universities and other organizations. A number of entities (e.g., research students, staff, etc.) must be allocated into a set of rooms so... Read More about Asynchronous cooperative local search for the office-space-allocation problem.

Flexural Behavior of Brittle RC Members Rehabilitated with Concrete Jacketing (2007)
Journal Article

The composite flexural action of prismatic reinforced concrete (RC) members repaired/strengthened by RC jacketing was modeled with a dual-section approach. The model considers the relative slip at the interface between the existing member and the jac... Read More about Flexural Behavior of Brittle RC Members Rehabilitated with Concrete Jacketing.
