Measuring the induction or inhibition of apoptosis by HPV proteins (2005)
Book Chapter

Many viral proteins influence the cellular pathways that control cell proliferation and cell death. Some viral proteins trigger apoptotic cell death, and this may be important in host defense and viral spread. In other cases, viral proteins inhibit a...

The effect of the adenosine A2A antagonist KW-6002 on motor and motivational processes in the rat (2005)
Journal Article

Rationale It is well established that humans and rats respond to an imperative stimulus more rapidly as a function of the foreperiod preceding the target, and with this decrease in mean response time, there is also an increase in anticipatory (pri...

p-Hydroxybenzoic acid synthesis in mycobacterium tuberculosis (2005)
Journal Article

Glycosylated p-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl esters and structurally related phenolphthiocerol glycolipids are important virulence factors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although both types of molecules are thought to be derived from p-hydroxybenzoic ac... Read More about p-Hydroxybenzoic acid synthesis in mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Characterisation of oat (Avena sativa L.) oil bodies and intrinsically associated E-vitamers (2005)
Journal Article

Transmission electron microscopy of sections of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain suggested that the highest concentrations oil bodies were in the aleurone and germ rather than the starchy endosperm. Oil bodies recovered from homogenized tissues by centrif... Read More about Characterisation of oat (Avena sativa L.) oil bodies and intrinsically associated E-vitamers.

Sex and darts in slugs and snails (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Stylommatophora) (2005)
Journal Article

In the final stages of an elaborate courtship, many slugs and snails shoot calcareous 'love' darts into each other. While darts improve the reproductive success of the shooter, by promoting sperm survival in the recipient, it is unclear why some spec...

Multi-objective hyper-heuristic approaches for space allocation and timetabling (2005)
Book Chapter

An important issue in multi-objective optimisation is how to ensure that the obtained non-dominated set covers the Pareto front as widely as possible. A number of techniques (e.g. weight vectors, niching, clustering, cellular structures, etc.) have b...
