Measuring the conservation attitudes of local communities towards the African elephant Loxodonta africana, a flagship species in the Mara ecosystem.
Gaining insights into local people's views, values and preferences for different conservation management options are increasingly gaining importance among conservationists and decision-makers. This can be achieved through the...
A Transcriptomic Analysis of Xylan Mutants Does Not Support the Existence of a Secondary Cell Wall Integrity System in Arabidopsis.
Yeast have long been known to possess a cell wall integrity (CWI) system, and recently an analogous system has been described for the primary walls of plants (PCWI) that leads to changes in plant growth and cell wall...

Personal exposures to fine particulate matter and carbon monoxide in relation to cooking activities in rural Malawi.
Sepeedeh Saleh, Henry Sambakunsi, Debora Makina, Martha Chinouya, Moses Kumwenda, James Chirombo, Sean Semple, Kevin Mortimer, Jamie Rylance
Apr 05, 2023
Background: Air pollution is a major environmental risk factor for cardiorespiratory disease. Exposures to household air pollution from cooking and other activities, are particularly high in Southern Africa. Following an...
Transitions between imperfectly ordered crystalline structures
Nigel Wilding
Jan 01, 0001
A model for two-dimensional colloids confined laterally by “structured boundaries” (i.e., ones that impose a periodicity along the slit) is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. When the distance D between the confining walls is...
The impact of early-years provision in Children's Centres (EPICC) on child cognitive and socio-emotional development
Lynne Murray, Susie Jennings, Alicia Mortimer, Amber Prout, Edward Melhuish, Claire Hughes, John Duncan, Joni Holmes, Corinne Dishington, Peter J Cooper
Mar 21, 2019
BACKGROUND: There are marked disparities between pre-school children in key skills affecting school readiness, disparities that commonly persist and influence children's later academic achievements, employment, and adjustment....

The transmission line method for modelling laminar flow of liquid in pipelines
Nigel Johnston
May 01, 2012
The transmission line method (TLM) is a very efficient method for dynamic modelling of flow in pipelines, and uses delay elements to represent wave propagation. In this paper an existing TLM model is investigated and shown to...
Structure of a cholinergic cell membrane.
Nigel Unwin
Aug 23, 2022
Cell membranes are complex assemblies of proteins and lipids making transient or long-term associations that have yet to be characterized at a molecular level. Here, cryo-electron microscopy is applied to determine how...
Targeted surveillance strategies for efficient detection of novel antibiotic resistance variants.

Aug 18, 2020
Genotype-based diagnostics for antibiotic resistance represent a promising alternative to empiric therapy, reducing inappropriate antibiotic use. However, because such assays infer resistance based on known genetic markers...

Feb 11, 2019
All members of the DUF579 family characterized so far have been described to affect the integrity of the hemicellulosic cell wall component xylan: GXMs are glucuronoxylan methyltransferases catalyzing 4-O-methylation of...
Introductory Comments - UK Research Careers Must Swap Pinch Points for Portfolios
Nigel Thrift
Apr 12, 2010
The UK Government’s Department for Innovation Universities and Skills (DIUS) has a real concern that research careers are not always perceived to be attractive by the best graduates. This concern led to DIUS to ask Professor...

Numerical modelling of unsteady turbulent flow in tubes, including the effects of roughness and large changes in Reynolds number
David Nigel Johnston
Aug 01, 2011
A method has been developed for predicting unsteady turbulent friction in smooth, transitional and rough pipe flow. For transitional and rough pipe flow the effective viscosity at the wall is varied depending on Reynolds number...
