Cardiac surgery training in a realistic surgical environment is assisted by a simulator based on an electromechanical pneumatic pump with associated control and display software. In this paper we describe a feedback mechanism for controlling the beat... Read More about Cardiac training simulator using pump with electronic pressure sensor to trigger ventricular fibrillation.

Expedient synthesis of a novel class of pseudoaromatic amino acids: Tetrahydroindazol-3-yl- and tetrahydrobenzisoxazol-3-ylalanine derivatives (2003)
Journal Article

A concise synthesis of novel homochiral aromatic amino acid surrogates comprising a tetrahydroindazole or a benzisoxazole system was developed via the acylation of a cyclic 1,3-diketone by the side-chain carboxyl functionality of either Boc-Asp-OtBu...

Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters (2003)
Journal Article

The presence of numerous endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) in surface waters and sediment has been primarily attributed to their incomplete removal in the sewage-treatment process. Determination of these chemicals is required in order to assess t... Read More about Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters.

Comparison of the structure and DNA-binding properties of the E2 proteins from an oncogenic and a non-oncogenic human papillomavirus (2003)
Journal Article

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that infect the genital tract can be divided into two groups: high-risk HPV types, such as HPV 16 and HPV 18, are associated with cancer, low-risk HPV types, such as HPV 6, are associated with benign warts. In both high-... Read More about Comparison of the structure and DNA-binding properties of the E2 proteins from an oncogenic and a non-oncogenic human papillomavirus.

Synteny between a major heading-date QTL in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and the Hd3 heading-date locus in rice (2003)
Journal Article

The genetic control of induction to flowering has been studied extensively in both model and crop species because of its fundamental biological and economic significance. An ultimate aim of many of these studies has been the application of the unders...

Caring and resources in older age (2003)
Thesis

Due to the high incidence of ill health and disability amongst their contemporaries, older people are likely to be involved in informal caring relationships. Due to the limited nature of post-retirement incomes, such carers are also likely to be rela... Read More about Caring and resources in older age.

The role of lex2 in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in Haemophilus influenzae strains RM7004 and RM153 (2003)
Journal Article

The locus lex2, comprising lex2A and lex2B, contributes to the phase-variable expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Haemophilus influenzae and was found to be present in 74 % of strains investigated. lex2A contains 59-GCAA repeats which vary in n...

The pathogenesis of disease due to type b Haemophilus influenzae (2003)
Book Chapter

Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative bacterium that was first described by Pfeiffer in 1892 (1). This ubiquitous, human-specific organism was originally thought to be the etiologic agent of “influenza.” However, H. influenzae was not consistentl...

Visual mechanisms of motion analysis and motion perception (2003)
Journal Article

Psychophysical experiments on feature tracking suggest that most of our sensitivity to chromatic motion and to second-order motion depends on feature tracking. There is no reason to suppose that the visual system contains motion sensors dedicated to... Read More about Visual mechanisms of motion analysis and motion perception.

Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition (2003)
Journal Article

This review will consider the processes of skeletal muscle (myogenesis) and fat (adipogenesis) development and the factors involved in regulating them in a variety of species. In particular, the effects of hormones and maternal nutrition during diffe... Read More about Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition.

'Dis ain't gimme, Florida': Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God (2003)
Journal Article

Who owns Zora Neale Hurston? That was the question asked in 1990 by Michele Wallace, in an analysis of the ways in which Hurston has been appropriated by later scholars. Wallace's pungent comparison of later critics to so many 'groupies descending on... Read More about 'Dis ain't gimme, Florida': Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Application of host-specific bacteriophages to the surface of chicken skin leads to a reduction in recovery of Campylobacter jejuni (2003)
Journal Article

Retail poultry products are widely purported as the major infection vehicle for human campylobacteriosis. Numerous intervention strategies have sought to reduce Campylobacter contamination on broiler carcasses in the abattoir. This study reports the...

How do physicists use an e-print archive? Implications for institutional e-print services (2003)
Journal Article

It has been suggested that institutional e-print services will become an important way of achieving the wide availability of e-prints across a broad range of subject disciplines, but as yet there are few exemplars of this sort of service. This paper... Read More about How do physicists use an e-print archive? Implications for institutional e-print services.
