Polymorphisms in Genes Involved in Homologous Recombination Repair Interact to Increase the Risk of Developing Acute Myeloid Leukemia (2004)
Journal Article

Purpose: Double-strand break repair via homologous recombination is essential in maintaining genetic integrity. RAD51 and XRCC3 are involved in the repair of DNA by this pathway, and polymorphisms have been identified in both the RAD51 (RAD51-G135C)...

Uranyl acetate speciation in aqueous solutions-An XAS study between 25°C and 250°C (2004)
Journal Article

Speciation of uranium (VI) in acetate solutions between 25 and 250°C, at pH values between 1.8 and 3.8 and acetate/uranium (Ac/U) ratios of 0.5 to 100 has been investigated using uranium LIII-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. With increasing pH the... Read More about Uranyl acetate speciation in aqueous solutions-An XAS study between 25°C and 250°C.

Uranium biosorption by the lichen trapelia involuta at a uranium mine (2004)
Journal Article

Metal localisation was investigated in the lichenised ascomycete Trapelia involuta growing on a range of uraniferous minerals including metazeunerite [Cu(UO2)2(AsO42·8H2O], metatorbernite [Cu(UO22(PO4)2·8H2O], autunite [Ca(UO2)2(PO42·10H2O] and urani...

Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy (2004)
Journal Article

With reference to South Asia, we argue that recourse to the conventional structuralist and transition accounts of democratisation sustains an unhelpful dichotomy. Those approaches tend towards either determinism or agent-driven contingency. In contra... Read More about Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy.

Radiative transfer through the intergalactic medium (2004)
Journal Article

We use a probabilistic method to compute the propagation of an ionization front corresponding to the reionization of the intergalactic medium in a Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology, including both hydrogen and helium. The effects of radiative trans... Read More about Radiative transfer through the intergalactic medium.

Diversity in intermediate care (2004)
Journal Article

This paper discusses the evolution of intermediate care and presents some interim observations from a survey of providers in England being conducted as part of a national evaluation of intermediate care. Telephone interviews covering various issues... Read More about Diversity in intermediate care.

Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ? (2004)
Journal Article

We tested the prediction that, if hoverflies are Batesian mimics, this may extend to behavioral mimicry such that their numerical abundance at each hour of the day (the daily activity pattern) is related to the numbers of their hymenopteran models. A... Read More about Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ?.

Galanin-Like Peptide Stimulates the Release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone in Vitro and May Mediate the Effects of Leptin on the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis (2004)
Journal Article

Leptin regulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis in relation to nutritional status. The mechanism through which leptin mediates its effects on neuroendocrine reproductive circuits remains unclear. Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is a recently iden...

An assessment of the bioaccumulation of estrone in Daphnia magna (2004)
Journal Article

The bioaccumulation of estrone by Daphnia magna was determined. Direct uptake via the aqueous medium occurred within the first 16 h. A bioconcentration factor of 228 was established over all temporal periods. Ingestion via Chlorella vulgaris gave a p...

Conceptualising and Effecting Good Outcomes in Foster Care:an exploration of the research literature (2004)
Book

On any one day over 75,000 children are looked after by local authorities in the UK. Numerically the most important form of provision for these looked after children is foster care. This caters for about 60% of those looked after at any one point i... Read More about Conceptualising and Effecting Good Outcomes in Foster Care:an exploration of the research literature.

How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication (2004)
Journal Article

Background: The publication of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals is a fairly complex and stepwise process that involves responding to referees’ comments. Little guidance is available in the biomedical literature on how to deal with such c... Read More about How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication.

Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect (2004)
Journal Article

Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Cubero et al (1999) of a DNA duplex containing the 'rogue' base difluorotoluene (F) in place of a thymine (T) base show that breathing events can occur on the nanosecond timescale, whereas breathing ev...

Stability of membrane bound reactions (2004)
Journal Article

We present a novel approach to the dynamics of reactions of diffusing chemical species with species fixed in space e.g. by binding to a membrane. The non-diffusing reaction partners are clustered in areas with a diameter smaller than the diffusion length... Read More about Stability of membrane bound reactions.

Release currents of IP? receptor channel clusters and concentration profiles (2004)
Journal Article

We simulate currents and concentration profiles generated by Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol through IP3 receptor channel clusters. Clusters are described as conducting pores in the lumenal membrane with a diameter f... Read More about Release currents of IP? receptor channel clusters and concentration profiles.
