Modelling spatially regulated ?-catenin dynamics and invasion in intestinal crypts (2010)
Journal Article

Experimental data (e.g., genetic lineage and cell population studies) on intestinal crypts reveal that regulatory features of crypt behavior, such as control via morphogen gradients, are remarkably well conserved among numerous organisms (e.g., from...

Field Theory on Curved Noncommutative Spacetimes (2010)
Journal Article

We study classical scalar field theories on noncommutative curved spacetimes. Following the approach of Wess et al. [Classical Quantum Gravity 22 (2005), 3511 and Classical Quantum Gravity 23 (2006), 1883], we describe noncommutative spacetimes by us...

Evaluation of short-term effectiveness of the disease management program “Di.Pro.Di.” on continuity of care of patients with congestive heart failure (2010)
Journal Article

This paper aimed to assess the early effectiveness of a disease management program (DMP), called “Dimissione Protetta Difficile” (Di.Pro.Di) conducted by personnel from the intensive care unit (ICU) of Public Hospital S. Paolo, Naples, Italy. Di.Pro... Read More about Evaluation of short-term effectiveness of the disease management program “Di.Pro.Di.” on continuity of care of patients with congestive heart failure.

Regulation of ovine and porcine stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase gene promoters by fatty acids and sterols (2010)
Journal Article

Stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD) is responsible for converting SFA into MUFA and plays an important role in regulating the fatty acid composition of tissues. Although the number of SCD isoforms differs among species, SCD-1 is the predominant isoform exp...

The mannose receptor mediates the uptake of diverse native allergens by dendritic cells and determines allergen-induced T cell polarization through modulation of IDO Activity (2010)
Journal Article

The mannose receptor (MR) is a C-type lectin expressed by dendritic cells (DCs). We have investigated the ability of MR to recognize glycosylated allergens. Using a gene silencing strategy, we have specifically inhibited the expression of MR on human...

Thinking falls - taking action: development of a guide to action for falls prevention tool (GtA) (2010)
Journal Article

Clinical guidelines and research papers help clinicians measure and understand the risk of falling in their older clients but very few provide the assessor with recommendations as to which interventions they can use to reduce the risk of a fall. T... Read More about Thinking falls - taking action: development of a guide to action for falls prevention tool (GtA).

Towards an integrated workforce management system (2010)
Conference Proceeding

We describe progress towards a workforce management system in which personnel scheduling is integrated with other important processes such as payroll processing, attendance and absence recording, staffing forecast and planning, etc. Our focus is on c...

A 0/1 integer programming model for the office space allocation problem (2010)
Journal Article

We propose a 0/1 integer programming model to tackle the office space allocation (OSA) problem which refers to assigning room space to a set of entities (people, machines, roles, etc.), with the goal of optimising the space utilisation while satisfyi...

Predicting beta-turns and their types using predicted backbone dihedral angles and secondary structures (2010)
Journal Article

Background β-turns are secondary structure elements usually classified as coil. Their prediction is important, because of their role in protein folding and their frequent occurrence in protein chains. Results We have developed a novel method...

Exercise interventions in the treatment of depression (2010)
Book

Depression is a common psychiatric problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Whilst conventional treatments for depression have involved the use of antidepressant medications or ‘talking’ therapies, in recent years the concept of exercise thera...

Planning and control of a hybrid vacuum-forming system based on screw-pin tooling (2010)
Journal Article

This paper introduced planning and control of a hybrid vacuum-forming machine system (HAVES). The HAVES was developed to integrate CAD/CAM, screw-pin tooling, CNC, vacuum forming and optical measurement device together to produce vacuum forming compo...

A hybrid evolutionary approach to the nurse rostering problem (2010)
Journal Article

Nurse rostering is an important search problem with many constraints. In the literature, a number of approaches have been investigated including penalty function methods to tackle these constraints within genetic algorithm frameworks. In this paper,...

Chemical Tags Mediate the Orthogonal Self-Assembly of DNA Duplexes into Supramolecular Structures (2010)
Journal Article

A new chemical approach that achieves ordered self?assembly of biomolecules is reported. The chemical tags bis?nitrilotriacetic acid (bisNTA) and hexahistidine (His6) are attached to DNA duplexes that self?assemble into supramolecular structures whos...

In situ subcellular fractionation of adherent and non-adherent mammalian cells (2010)
Journal Article

Protein function is intimately coupled to protein localization. Although some proteins are restricted to a specific location or subcellular compartment, many proteins are present as a freely diffusing population in free exchange with a sub-population...

Social stress in young people with specific language impairment (2010)
Journal Article

Social interactions can be a source of social stress for adolescents. Little is known about how adolescents with developmental difficulties, such as specific language impairment (SLI), feel when interacting socially. Participants included 28 adolesce...

Assessment indices for the seismic vulnerability of existing R.C. buildings (2010)
Journal Article

The seismic vulnerability of old multi?storey reinforced concrete (R.C.) buildings reinforced with substandard details is assessed as a function of interstorey drift demand imposed by the design earthquake while considering brittle termination of ela...

Histone Deacetylase Inhibition Attenuates Cell Growth with Associated Telomerase Inhibition in High-Grade Childhood Brain Tumor Cells (2010)
Journal Article

Aberrant epigenetic regulation of gene expression contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Studies from a plethora of hematologic and solid tumors support the use of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) as potent anticancer agents. However,...
