Scientific approach to the axis of rotation at the midtarsal joint. (2001)
Journal Article
Current biomechanical models of the midtarsal joint describe it as having two axes of rotation, the oblique and the longitudinal. The considerable freedom of movement available at the midtarsal joint means that kinematic assessment of its function an...

Effect of errors in the identification of anatomical landmarks on the accuracy of Q angle values. (2001)
Journal Article
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of error in the location of the anterior superior iliac spine, and the centres of the patella and tibial tuberosity, on the measured value of the quadriceps angle. BACKGROUND: The quadriceps angle is said to be rele... Read More about Effect of errors in the identification of anatomical landmarks on the accuracy of Q angle values..
Effect of foot orthoses on rearfoot complex kinematics during walking gait. (2001)
Journal Article
The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of anti-pronatory and anti-supinatory foot orthoses on the angular displacement, velocity and accelerations of the rearfoot complex during gait. The transverse plane motion of the leg relative to the f... Read More about Effect of foot orthoses on rearfoot complex kinematics during walking gait..

A sensitive and rapid assay for homologous recombination in mosquito cells: impact of vector topology and implications for gene targeting (2001)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Recent progress in insect transgenesis has been dramatic but existing transposon-based approaches are constrained by position effects and potential instability. Gene targeting would bring a number of benefits, however progress requires a...

The host galaxy of GRB010222: the strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known (2001)
Journal Article
Analysis of the absorption lines in the afterglow spectrum of the gamma-ray burst GRB010222 indicates that its host galaxy (at a redshift of z=1.476) is the strongest damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) system known, having a very low metallicity and modest dus...

The implications of grassland and heathland management for the conservation of spider communities: a review (2001)
Journal Article
Both intensity and type of habitat management in grasslands and heathlands affect spider communities. With high intensity management, spider communities often lack diversity and are dominated by a few r-selected species affiliated with bare ground. L...

Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes (2001)
Journal Article
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation may reduce prostate cancer risk, suggesting that polymorphism in genes that mediate host pigmentation will be associated with susceptibility to this cancer. We studied 210 prostate cancer cases and 155 controls to de... Read More about Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes.
Emission from the secondary star in the old CV WZ Sge (2001)
Journal Article
We present the first detection of the mass donor star in the cataclysmic variable WZ Sge. Phase resolved spectroscopy reveals narrow Balmer emission components from the irradiated secondary star during the 2001 outburst. Its radial velocity curve ind...

The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part II. Indirect effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis in field margins (2001)
Journal Article
We have examined the indirect effect of the herbicide glyphosate on the spider Lepthyphantes tenuis in field margins. Glyphosate was applied to a randomised block design field experiment comprising 360, 720 and 1440 g glyphosate AE ha−1 treatments an...

The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part I. Direct effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis under laboratory conditions (2001)
Journal Article
We examined the toxic effects of glyphosate to adult female Lepthyphantes tenuis (Araneae, Linyphiidae), a common spider of agricultural habitats. The overspray technique was used to investigate the effect of the herbicide on forty individuals in eac... Read More about The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part I. Direct effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis under laboratory conditions.
Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs around Sigma Orionis (2001)
Journal Article
We present optical spectroscopy of 71 photometric candidate low-mass members of the cluster associated with Sigma Orionis. Thirty-five of these are found to pass the lithium test and hence are confirmed as true cluster members, covering a mass range... Read More about Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs around Sigma Orionis.
Gene targeting in mosquito cells: a demonstration of 'knockout' technology in extrachromosomal gene arrays (2001)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Gene targeting would offer a number of advantages over current transposon-based strategies for insect transformation. These include freedom from both position effects associated with quasi-random integration and concerns over transgene in...

Simultaneous identification of GSTP1 Ile105-->Val105 and Ala114-->Val114 substitutions using an amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction assay: studies in patients with asthma (2001)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND The glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme GSTP1 utilizes byproducts of oxidative stress. We previously showed that alleles of GSTP1 that encode the Ile105-->Val105 substitution are associated with the asthma phenotypes of atopy and bronc...

Connectionist learning of regular graph grammars (2001)
Journal Article
This paper presents a new connectionist approach to grammatical inference. Using only positive examples, the algorithm learns regular graph grammars, representing two-dimensional iterative structures drawn on a discrete Cartesian grid. This work is i...
