The changing role of subject librarians in academic libraries (2001)
Journal Article

Discusses the roles that subject librarians (or 'subject specialists') play in contemporary UK academic libraries. Argues that subject librarians, who still form a significant grouping of senior staff in most UK academic libraries, continue to have a...

A study of uranium speciation in acetate solutions at temperatures from 25 to 250°C (2001)
Journal Article

We report U L3-edge XAS analysis results from a study of the speciation of U(VI) in acetate solutions between 25 and 250°C, at pH's between 1.82 and 2.57 and [acetate]:[U] ratios of 0.5 to 50. At 25°C in excess acetate there are at least two acetate... Read More about A study of uranium speciation in acetate solutions at temperatures from 25 to 250°C.

Patterns of Network and User Activity in an Inhabited Television Event (2001)
Journal Article

Inhabited television takes traditional broadcast television and combines it with multiuser virtual reality to give new possibilities for interaction and participation in and around shows or channels. Out of This World was an experimental inhabited TV... Read More about Patterns of Network and User Activity in an Inhabited Television Event.

A phylogeny of the land snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) (2001)
Journal Article

We have undertaken the first large-scale molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Stylommatophora. Sequences of the ribosomal RNA gene-cluster were examined in 104 species of snails and slugs from 50 families, encompassing all the currently recognized...

Human defensin 5 is stored in precursor form in normal Paneth cells and is expressed by some villous epithelial cells and by metaplastic Paneth cells in the colon in inflammatory bowel disease (2001)
Journal Article

Background and aims - Intestinal epithelial cell derived antimicrobial peptides of the defensin family may play a major role in host defence against microorganisms. Our aims were to (i) isolate, characterise, and investigate the processing of human d...

Oestrogen and progesterone increase the levels of apoptosis induced by the human papillomavirus type 16 E2 and E7 proteins (2001)
Journal Article

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 infects the genital tract and is generally acknowledged to be a causative agent of cervical cancer. HPV infection alone is not sufficient to induce cervical cancer and other factors such as steroid hormones are thou...

Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific (2001)
Journal Article

Adaptive radiation of partulid land snails in the tropical Pacific has produced an extraordinary array of distinctive morphological, ecological and behavioural types. Here we use part of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster to investigate the relat... Read More about Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific.

Factors affecting the component community structure of haemoparasites in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland (2001)
Journal Article

The prevalence and abundance of infections with haemoparasites were studied over a 3 year period in Clethrionomys glareolus (bank vole, n=420) sampled from forests in the NE of Poland. Total species richness was 5 (Prevalence=Haemobartonella sp. 63.1...

Database-backed library web sites: a case study of the use of PHP and MySQL at the University of Nottingham (2001)
Journal Article

This paper discusses the advantages of database-backed websites and describes the model for a library website implemented at the University of Nottingham using open source software, PHP and MySQL. As websites continue to grow in size and complexity i... Read More about Database-backed library web sites: a case study of the use of PHP and MySQL at the University of Nottingham.

Integrability for Relativistic Spin Networks (2001)
Journal Article

The evaluation of relativistic spin networks plays a fundamental role in the Barrett-Crane state sum model of Lorentzian quantum gravity in 4 dimensions. A relativistic spin network is a graph labelled by unitary irreducible representations of the Lo... Read More about Integrability for Relativistic Spin Networks.

Legal madness in the nineteenth century (2001)
Journal Article

Legal sources remain under-exploited in the history of madness, and the legal character of some documents is sometimes unrecognized. This article examines the interrelations between legal and medical histories of madness, and discusses use and availa... Read More about Legal madness in the nineteenth century.

Interactions involving intestinal nematodes of rodents: experimental and field studies (2001)
Journal Article

Multiple species infections with parasitic helminths, including nematodes, are common in wild rodent populations. In this paper we first define different types of associations and review experimental evidence for different categories of interactions....

Variation in the helminth community structure in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from three comparable localities in the Mazury Lake District region of Poland (2001)
Journal Article

We tested the null hypothesis that populations of hosts trapped in isolated neighbouring locations showing comparable habitat quality, should support similar helminth parasite communities. The study was undertaken in a 2-week period in late summer in...

Variations in chemoprophylaxis for meningococcal disease: a retrospective case note review, analysis of routine prescribing data and questionnaire of general practitioners (2001)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Invasive meningococcal disease is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the UK. Administration of chemoprophylaxis to close contacts reduces the risk of a secondary case. However, unnecessary chemoprophylaxis may be associated...
