Bioaccumulation of metals by lichens: Uptake of aqueous uranium by Peltigera membranacea as a function of time and pH (1998)
Journal Article
Haas, J. R., Bailey, E. H., & William Purvis, O. (1998). Bioaccumulation of metals by lichens: Uptake of aqueous uranium by Peltigera membranacea as a function of time and pH. American Mineralogist, 83(11-12 Part 2), 1494-1502. https://doi.org/10.2138/am-1998-11-1237

Uranium sorption experiments were carried out at ∼25 °C using natural samples of the lichen Peltigera membranacea. Thalli were incubated in solutions containing 100 ppm U for up to 24 h at pH values from 2 to 10. Equilibrium sorption was not observed...

Convergence and transfer: A review of the globalisation of new public management (1998)
Journal Article
Common, R. (1998). Convergence and transfer: A review of the globalisation of new public management. International Journal of Public Sector Management, 11(6), 440-450. https://doi.org/10.1108/09513559810244356

There is much talk about a new global paradigm in public administration. However, many claims surrounding the existence of this new paradigm remain largely unsubstantiated. This article reviews some of these claims by attempting to explain how new pu... Read More about Convergence and transfer: A review of the globalisation of new public management.

Monadic parsing in Haskell (1998)
Journal Article
Hutton, G., & Meijer, E. (1998). Monadic parsing in Haskell. Journal of Functional Programming, 8(4),

This paper is a tutorial on defining recursive descent parsers in Haskell. In the spirit of one-stop shopping, the paper combines material from three areas into a single source. The three areas are functional parsers, the use of monads to structure... Read More about Monadic parsing in Haskell.

Coexpression of gastrin and gastrin receptors (CCK-B and ΔCCK-B) in gastrointestinal tumour cell lines (1998)
Journal Article
