Nematode Aminopeptidases (2004)
Book Chapter

The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has proven to be an excellent model organism for studying animal development and neurobiology. Analysis of the fully sequenced genome of C. elegans predicts that there are ~19,000 genes, of which ~ 2% a... Read More about Nematode Aminopeptidases.

Stability problems associated with an abandoned ironstone mine. (2004)
Journal Article
Swift, G., & Reddish, D. (2004). Stability problems associated with an abandoned ironstone mine. Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 61(3), 227-239. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10064-001-0147-9

The stability problems associated with a shallow, room and pillar ironstone mine have been analysed in detail using established, empirical approaches. Initial analysis centred on elastic beam theory and pillar strength formulae to establish the facto... Read More about Stability problems associated with an abandoned ironstone mine..

The aim of this study was to assess trends in captive breeding of threatened and endangered bird species in British zoos. The measures we recorded were: 1) the total number of species held, 2) the percentage of species held that are listed in the IUC...

A boundary element method for the calculation of noise barrier insertion loss in the presence of atmospheric turbulence (2004)
Journal Article
Lam, Y. (2004). A boundary element method for the calculation of noise barrier insertion loss in the presence of atmospheric turbulence. Applied Acoustics, 65(6), 583-603. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2003.10.009

Atmospheric turbulence is an important factor that limits the amount of attenuation a barrier can provide in the outdoor environment. It is therefore important to develop a reliable method to predict its effect on barrier performance. The boundary el...

Alkylation of 2-oxygenated diphenylmethane derivatives using sec-butyllithium and (−)-sparteine gave enantiomeric excesses of up to 60% with allyl bromide but alkylations with methyl electrophiles were poorly selective. When compounds with a free hyd... Read More about Asymmetric alkylation of diphenylmethane derivatives using (-)-sparteine.
