Humans: The missing link in manufacturing simulation? (2003)
Journal Article

Computer based discrete event simulation (DES) is one of the most commonly used aids for the design of automotive manufacturing systems. However, DES tools represent machines in extensive detail, while only representing workers as simple resources. T... Read More about Humans: The missing link in manufacturing simulation?.

Isolation and characterization of Campylobacter bacteriophages from retail poultry (2003)
Journal Article

The ability of phages to survive processing is an important aspect of their potential use in the biocontrol of Campylobacter in poultry production. To this end, we have developed a procedure to recover Campylobacter bacteriophages from chilled and fr...

The transcriptional repressor protein PRH interacts with the proteasome (2003)
Journal Article

PRH (proline-rich homeodomain protein)/Hex is important in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. We have shown previously that PRH contains two domains that can bring about transcriptional repression independently; the PRH homeodomai...

Side-chain-to-tail thiolactone peptide inhibitors of the staphylococcal quorum-sensing system (2003)
Journal Article

The expression of many staphylococcal virulence factors are regulated by the agr locus via a two-component signal transduction system (TCSTS), which is activated in response to a secreted autoinducer peptide (AIP). By exploiting the unique chemical a... Read More about Side-chain-to-tail thiolactone peptide inhibitors of the staphylococcal quorum-sensing system.

The relative involvement of Th1 and Th2 associated immune responses in the expulsion of a primary infection of Heligmosomoides polygyrus in mice of differing response phenotype (2003)
Journal Article

T helper cell (Th1 and Th2) associated responses were examined following a primary infection with the gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus in five inbred strains of mice with different resistance phenotypes. Levels of (i) mast cell pro... Read More about The relative involvement of Th1 and Th2 associated immune responses in the expulsion of a primary infection of Heligmosomoides polygyrus in mice of differing response phenotype.

Chasing the genes that control resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes (2003)
Journal Article

The host-protective immune response to infection with gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes involves a range of interacting processes that begin with recognition of the parasite’s antigens and culminate in an inflammatory reaction in the intestinal mucosa....

Seasonal distribution of genetic types of planktonic foraminifer morphospecies in the Santa Barbara channel and its paleoceanographic implications (2003)
Journal Article

We present data on the temporal distribution of planktonic foraminifer genotypes (small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) RNA gene) and morphospecies (sediment traps) collected during 1999 in the Santa Barbara Channel. The sampling was undertaken with spec...

Caregiver strain in spouses of stroke patients (2003)
Journal Article

Objective: To test the ability of a previously generated logistic regression model to predict caregiver strain from carer mood, negative affectivity and perceived patient functional ability. Design: Postal prospective survey. Setting: Spouses o... Read More about Caregiver strain in spouses of stroke patients.

Transcriptional repression in eukaryotes: repressors and repression mechanisms (2003)
Journal Article

For many, if not most genes, the initiation of transcription is the principle point at which their expression is regulated. Transcription factors, some of which bind to specific DNA sequences, generally either activate or repress promoter activity an...

Fuzzy Recognition of Cricket Batting Strokes Based on Sequences of Body and Bat Postures (2003)
Conference Proceeding

A mathematical classification of two cricket batting strokes, using fuzzy set theory, is presented. A system is proposed within this paper, to capture the motion of a batsman/batswoman whilst playing a stroke. This is then compared to known strokes,...

Geographical inequalities in lung cancer management and survival in South East England: Evidence of variation in access to oncology services? (2003)
Journal Article

This study aimed to determine whether the management and survival of patients with lung cancer varied among 26 health authorities in South East England. The Thames Cancer Registry identified patients diagnosed with lung cancer (ICD-10 codes C33-C34)...

Paraventricular nucleus administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (2003)
Journal Article

Calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP) inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after intracerebroventricular injection in rats. However, the hypothalamic site and mechanism of action are unknown. We investigat...

The Christmas play hitherto attributed to Mylor has been re-ascribed to Truro in the late 1780s, using biographical information concerning the actors, and physical characteristics of the manuscript. It becomes the oldest Saint George play to feature... Read More about The Truro cordwainers' play: a "new" 18th century Christmas play.

Resistance to spontaneous apoptosis in acute myeloid leukaemia blasts is associated with p-glycoprotein expression and function, but not with the presence of FLT3 internal tandem duplications (2003)
Journal Article

The ability of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) blasts to survive in culture has been associated with poor patient response to chemotherapy. Other biological factors predicting an adverse outcome include p-glycoprotein (pgp) expression, which is associa...
