Place, policy and practitioners: on rehabilitation, independence and the therapeutic landscape in the changing geography of care provision to older people in the United Kingdom (2005)
Journal Article

A growing body of literature in geography and other social sciences considers the role of place in the provision of healthcare. Authors have focused on various aspects of place and care, with particular interests emerging around the role of the psych...

Nanotechnology: radical new science or plus ça change? (2005)
Journal Article

Is a radical nanotechnology involving the construction of macroscopic products via software-directed manipulation of single molecules possible? Are we only a few decades away from a technological utopia where virtually any product may be constructed... Read More about Nanotechnology: radical new science or plus ça change?.

The effect of maternal undernutrition before muscle differentiation on the muscle fiber development of the newborn lamb (2005)
Journal Article

There is a need to improve the lean tissue content of ruminant animals destined for meat production. Muscle fiber number is set during fetal development. The effect of undernutrition of pregnant ewes on subsequent muscle fiber characteristics of thei...

Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens (2005)
Journal Article

Colonization of broiler chickens by the enteric pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is widespread and difficult to prevent. Bacteriophage therapy is one possible means by which this colonization could be controlled, thus limiting the entry of campylobacter...

Total loss of MHC class I is an independent indicator of good prognosis in breast cancer (2005)
Journal Article

Tumours can be recognised by CTL and NK cells. CTL recognition depends on expression of MHC Class I loaded with peptides from tumour antigens. In contrast, loss of MHC Class I results in NK activation. In our study a large set of samples from patient...

Time-dependent surface reactivity of Cd sorbed on calcite, hydroxylapatite and humic acid (2005)
Journal Article

Changes in the lability and local environment of Cd sorbed onto calcite, hydroxylapatite and humic acid have been investigated as a function of time (30 min–9 months) using a combination of X-ray adsorption spectroscopy (XAS) and isotopic dilution te...

A coupled calibration and modelling approach to the understanding of dry-land lake oxygen isotope records (2005)
Journal Article

Comparisons between climate proxies and instrumental records through the last two centuries are often used to understand better the controls on palaeoarchives and to find relationships that can be used to quantify changes in pre-instrumental climate....

Queering religious texts: An exploration of British non-heterosexual Christians’ and Muslims’ strategy of constructing sexuality-affirming hermeneutics. (2005)
Journal Article

Religious authority figures often use religious texts as the primary basis for censuring homosexuality. In recent years, however, non-heterosexual Christians and Muslims have begun to contest the discursively produced boundary of sexual morality.Draw...

Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus (2005)
Journal Article

The number of muscle fibers within a muscle has been found to be of high importance for the growth potential of an animal, and this number is set during fetal development. The objective of this study was to identify the ontogeny of muscle cell differ... Read More about Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus.

Digalactoside expression in the lipopolysaccharide of haemophilus influenzae and its role in intravascular survival (2005)
Journal Article

Digalactoside (gal-1-4 gal) structures of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Haemophilus influenzae are implicated in virulence. A confounding factor is that tetranucleotide repeats within the lic2A, lgtC, and lex2 genes mediate phase-variable expressio...

Superior T cell activation by ESAT-6 as compared with the ESAT-6-CFP-10 complex (2005)
Journal Article

Using intracellular cytokine staining we show herein that T cells will respond to short-term (6 h) activation with phorbol ester plus ionomycin by production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IFN-γ or both. Here CD4 T cells preferentially produce TNF a... Read More about Superior T cell activation by ESAT-6 as compared with the ESAT-6-CFP-10 complex.

Antigenicity of chimeric and cyclic synthetic peptides based on nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV (2005)
Journal Article

In this work, new putative epitopes located in nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV were synthesized using solid-phase chemistry for their use in immunoassays. The antigens were obtained in linear, chimeric and cyclic forms with the main aim of improv...
