Studies on the inactivation of medically important Candida species on agar surfaces using pulsed light.
(2009-07)
Development of a pulsed-light (PL) approach to inanimate surface decontamination
is timely, as the incidence of yeast-related infections in healthcare remains
unacceptably high. Critical electrical and biological factors ...
Accelerated solvent based extraction and enrichment of selected plasticisers and 4-nonylphenol, and extraction of tin from organotin sources in sediments, sludges and leachate soils.
(Elsevier, 2009-02-23)
Enrichment techniques have become an important feature in the trace analysis of oestrogen mimicking chemicals in the environment. Recent developments such as accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have improved extraction ...
Vertical crowd load models for vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges
(Civil-Comp Press, 2009)
Most pedestrian load models prescribed in existing design codes of practice do not
consider any interaction between the pedestrian and the moving structure. However,
it is now widely accepted that this interaction is ...
An investigation into possible sources of phthalate contamination in the environmental analytical laboratory.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2007-02)
A study of common laboratory equipment and components was performed in order to identify sources of contamination of phthalates prior to testing environmental samples for such compounds. A screening study revealed significant ...
Synthesis and characterisation of novel n-vinyl pyrrolidinone/acrylic acid copolymers for use in biomedical applications.
(2006)
The aim of this study was to develop a novel hydrophilic polymer for use in biomedical applications. The polymers synthesised in this work were based on the monomers N-vinyl pyrrolidinone (NVP) and acrylic acid (AA) and ...
Studies on the susceptibility of different culture morphotypes of Listeria monocytogenes to uptake and survival in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009-09)
This study demonstrated that atypical virulent filaments of Listeria monocytogenes
(rough variant type II and designated FR for this study), isolated from clinical
specimens or generated during exposure to pulsed-plasma ...
Novel isosorbide di-ester compounds as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase.
(Elsevier, 2008-09-25)
We report herein that a variety of isosorbide di-esters, previously reported to be novel substrates for butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE, EC 3.1.1.8), are in fact inhibitors of the homologous enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), ...
An analysis of alterations to the SCTP RTO calculation mechanism for WLAN environments
(Springer, 2008-01)
As a connection oriented transport layer protocol the Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP) inherits many of the features of the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) including the mechanism by which Retransmission ...
Analysis of bio-obtainable endocrine disrupting metals in river water and sediment, sewage influent/effluent, sludge, leachate, and concentrated leachate, in the Irish Midlands Shannon catchment.
(Hindawi, 2009-12)
The application of an acid digestion and subsequent solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure were implemented as preliminary
treatments prior to quantifying the levels of potentially endocrine disrupting metals (EDMs) in a ...
A note on the use of FTA™ technology for storage of blood samples for DNA analysis and removal of PCR inhibitors
(Sciendo, 2009-01)
FTA™ technology is widely used across many molecular disciplines for sample
capture, storage and analysis. The use of this technology for the long-term storage
of blood samples for DNA analysis was examined as well as ...
