Journal Article
Binks, A. S., & Jeffries, R. D. (2014). A lithium depletion boundary age of 21 Myr for the Beta Pictoris moving group. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 438(1), L11-L15. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slt141

Optical spectroscopy is used to confirm membership for eight low-mass candidates in the young Beta Pic moving group (BPMG) via their radial velocities, chromospheric activity and kinematic parallaxes. We searched for the presence of the Li I 6708 Å r... Read More about A lithium depletion boundary age of 21 Myr for the Beta Pictoris moving group.

Growth arrest on inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay is mediated by noncoding RNA GAS5 (2013)
Journal Article
Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., & Williams, G. T. (2013). Growth arrest on inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay is mediated by noncoding RNA GAS5. BioMed Research International, 2013, Article 358015. https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/358015

Nonsense-mediated decay is a key RNA surveillance mechanism responsible for the rapid degradation of mRNAs containing premature termination codons and hence prevents the synthesis of truncated proteins. More recently, it has been shown that nonsense-... Read More about Growth arrest on inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay is mediated by noncoding RNA GAS5.

An alumina-supported nickel catalyst, previously used in methane reforming experiments employing CO2 as the oxidant, is applied here in the steam reforming variant of the process. Micro-reactor experiments are used to discern an operational window co...

The ubiquitous nature of crustaceans has meant that they have been considered as useful bioindicators of water quality. Although crustaceans e.g. Cyclops strenuus serve as intermediate hosts to many metazoan parasites, the effect of infection on toxi...
