Journal Article
Kuiper. (2009). The effect of newer anti-rheumatic drugs on osteogenic cell proliferation: an in-vitro study. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 17 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1749-799X-4-17

BACKGROUND: Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may interfere with bone healing. Previous studies give conflicting advice regarding discontinuation of these drugs in the peri-operative setting. No consensus exists in current practice espe...

Exact and approximate relations for the spin-dependence of the exchange energy in high magnetic fields (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). Exact and approximate relations for the spin-dependence of the exchange energy in high magnetic fields. International Journal of Modern Physics B, 3004 - 3008. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217979209062712

The exchange energy of an arbitrary collinear-spin many-body system in an external magnetic field is a functional of the spin-resolved charge and current densities. Within the framework of density-functional theory (DFT), we show that the dependence...

Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging (2009)
Journal Article

Tree-induced subsidence is a natural ground movement phenomenon that arises when tree roots absorb water from clay-rich soils, causing them to shrink. Tree-induced subsidence is particularly problematic for buildings and structures in close proximity...

The Plasmodium falciparum genome encodes a single calpain. By generating P. falciparum clones expressing C-terminally tagged calpain, we localized this protein to the nucleolus. Pf_calpain possesses an unusual and long N-terminal domain in which we i... Read More about Fatty acid acylation regulates trafficking of the unusual Plasmodium falciparum calpain to the nucleolus.
