Increased circulating Dickkopf-1 in Paget's disease of bone (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). Increased circulating Dickkopf-1 in Paget's disease of bone. Clinical Biochemistry, 965-969. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2009.04.007

Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1) is a secreted inhibitor of Wnt signaling which in adults regulates bone turnover. Dkk-1 over-production is implicated in osteolytic disease where it inhibits bone formation and stimulates bone breakdown. Recently it was reported th...

Fatty acid acylation regulates trafficking of the unusual Plasmodium falciparum calpain to the nucleolus (2009)
Journal Article
Russo. (2009). Fatty acid acylation regulates trafficking of the unusual Plasmodium falciparum calpain to the nucleolus. Molecular Microbiology, 229 - 245. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2958.2009.06639.x

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.

Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, G., Cassidy, N., Thomas, P., Plante, S., & Pringle, J. (2009). Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging. Near Surface Geophysics, 7(3), 191 -206. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2009017

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...

Climate change at the Triassic/Jurassic boundary: palynological evidence from the Furkaska section (Tatra Mountains, Slovakia) (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). Climate change at the Triassic/Jurassic boundary: palynological evidence from the Furkaska section (Tatra Mountains, Slovakia). Geologica Carpathica, 139 - 149. https://doi.org/10.2478/v10096-009-0009-0

The palynology of the Triassic/Jurassic boundary interval of the Furkaska section (Tatra Mts, Slovakia) was studied with respect to a major climatic change during that period. The palynofacies is dominated by terrestrial particles, indicating a shall...

The woman question in English and Russian literature, 1848 - 1877 (2009)
Thesis
Barrett, R. (2009). The woman question in English and Russian literature, 1848 - 1877. (Thesis). Keele University

This is a comparative study of representations of the woman question in nineteenth-century English and Russian literature between 1848 and 1877. Here I examine how the issues of the woman question were reflected in contemporary fiction, focusing upon... Read More about The woman question in English and Russian literature, 1848 - 1877.

RANK, RANKL and osteoprotegerin in bone biology and disease. (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). RANK, RANKL and osteoprotegerin in bone biology and disease. Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 56 -64

Upon the discovery of RANK, RANKL and OPG in the late 1990s, their importance in the maintenance of the skeletal structure and their dramatic role in bone disease were largely unexpected. In recent years the understanding of these proteins, in partic... Read More about RANK, RANKL and osteoprotegerin in bone biology and disease..

Hope and terminal illness: false hope versus absolute hope (2009)
Journal Article
Garrard, E., & Wrigley, A. (2009). Hope and terminal illness: false hope versus absolute hope. Clinical Ethics, 4(1), 38-43. https://doi.org/10.1258/ce.2008.008050

Sustaining hope in patients is an important element of health care, allowing improvement in patient welfare and quality of life. However in the palliative care context, with patients who are terminally ill, it might seem that in order to maintain hop...

Element-specific determination of X-ray transmission signatures using neural networks (2009)
Journal Article
Day, C. R., Austin, J. C., Butcher, J. B., Haycock, P. W., & Kearon, A. T. (2009). Element-specific determination of X-ray transmission signatures using neural networks. NDT and E International, 42(5), 446-451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ndteint.2009.02.005

In this article, we report on the application of neural networks to the problem of making an element-specific determination of unknown metal targets based on the characteristics of their transmitted X-ray signatures. Our method was applied to two gro... Read More about Element-specific determination of X-ray transmission signatures using neural networks.

Lay perceptions of the desired role and type of user involvement in clinical governance (2009)
Journal Article
