(Palgrave Macmillan, 2006-12-05)
The growth and diffusion of self-service technology (SST) over the last decade has resulted in an increasing number of business and government transactions being completed without human assistance. One innovation in this ...
Coastline configuration disrupts the effects of large-scale climatic forcing, leading to divergent temporal trends in wave exposure
(Elsevier, 2006)
Both climate change and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) may influence coastal systems by altering wave exposure. The effects of such climatic forcing are often coherent over relatively large geographic areas. Temporal ...
Truncation error in mesh-free particle methods
(2006-06-25)
A truncation error analysis has been developed for the approximation of spatial derivatives in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and related first-order consistent methods such as the first-order form of the reproducing ...
A single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine beta-casein promoter region across different bovine breeds
(Cambridge Journals, 2006-02-14)
The bovine β-casein (CSN2) gene has been shown to span a region of 8·5 kb, containing nine exons and eight intervening introns (Bonsing et al. 1988; Martin et al. 2002). The exons range in size from 24 to 498 bp; the ...

Global gene expression analysis of the effects of Vinblastine on endothelial cells, when eluted from a thermo-responsive polymer
(Wiley Online Library, 2006-06-30)
In-stent restenosis remains a significant problem associated with bare metal stents. This drawback has prompted research into improving stent design and the development of novel coatings, including drug-eluting stents. A ...
Rho A/Rho kinase: human umbilical artery mRNA expression in normal and pre eclamptic pregnancies and functional role in isoprostane-induced vasoconstriction
(Society for Reproduction and Fertility, 2006-07-01)
Pre eclampsia represents a state of increased or prolonged vasoconstriction, partially linked to the potent vasocontractile effect of isoprostanes. The process of Rho A-mediated calcium sensitisation is inherent to a state ...
