Potential role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase in regulating inflammation (2005)
Journal Article
Mabley, J., Pacher, P., Deb, A., Wallace, R., Elder, R., & Szabó, C. (2005). Potential role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase in regulating inflammation. FASEB Journal, 19(2), 290-2. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.04-2278fje

OGG-1 DNA glycosylase (OGG-1) is an enzyme involved in DNA repair. It excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, which is formed by oxidative damage of guanine. We have investigated the role of OGG-1 in inflammation using three models of inflammation: endotox... Read More about Potential role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase in regulating inflammation.

Significant familial differences in the frequency of abortion and Toxoplasma gondii infection within a flock of Charollais sheep (2005)
Journal Article
a flock of Charollais sheep. Parasitology, 131, 181-185. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182005007614

A study was carried out to investigate the frequencies of abortion and congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection within 27 families (765 individuals) of a pedigree Charollais sheep flock maintained on a working farm in Worcestershire, UK, since 1992....

Ecological epidemiology: the role of landscape structure in the transmission risk of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis (Leukart 1863) (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea : Taeniidae) (2005)
Journal Article
Graham, A., Danson, F., & Craig, P. (2005). Ecological epidemiology: the role of landscape structure in the transmission risk of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis (Leukart 1863) (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea : Taeniidae). Progress in Physical Geography, 29(1), 77-91. https://doi.org/10.1191/0309133305pp435ra

The larval form of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis causes a fatal liver infection in humans and has high prevalence in western China. The tapeworm lifecycle involves small mammal populations and canids, such as foxes and dogs. Human cont...

Assessment of 17 new whiskered auklet ( Aethia pygmaea ) microsatellite loci in 42 seabirds identifies 5–15 polymorphic markers for each of nine Alcinae species (2005)
Journal Article
polymorphic markers for each of nine Alcinae species. Molecular ecology notes (Print), 5, 289-297. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-8286.2005.00906.x

We isolated 17 microsatellite loci in the whiskered auklet ( Aethia pygmaea ) and tested them for amplification in 48 species from 13 seabird families (including 42 seabirds). Fifteen of these loci were also tested for polymorphism in 38 of the s...

Contemporary gene flow and the spatio-temporal genetic structure of subdivided newt populations (Triturus cristatus, T. marmoratus) (2005)
Journal Article
of subdivided newt populations (Triturus cristatus, T. marmoratus). Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 18, 619-628. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2004.00864.x

Gene flow and drift shape the distribution of neutral genetic diversity in metapopulations, but their local rates are difficult to quantify. To identify gene flow between demes as distinct from individual migration, we present a modified Bayesian...

Delineating fine-scale genetic units in amphibians: probing the primacy of ponds (2005)
Journal Article
probing the primacy of ponds. Conservation Genetics, 6, 227-234. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-004-7832-8

The population structure of pond-breeding amphibians is shaped by their distinct breeding foci, but it is unclear to what extent this is reflected in the fine-scale distribution of genetic diversity. We used microsatellite genotypes to investigate... Read More about Delineating fine-scale genetic units in amphibians: probing the primacy of ponds.

Tracking decision-making during architectural design (2005)
Journal Article
Cooper, G., Cerulli, C., Lawson, B., Peng, C., & Rezgui, Y. (2005). Tracking decision-making during architectural design

There is a powerful cocktail of circumstances governing the way decisions are made during the architectural design process of a building project. There is considerable potential for misunderstandings, inappropriate changes, change which give rise to... Read More about Tracking decision-making during architectural design.

Urban information model for city planning (2005)
Journal Article
Hamilton, A., Wang, H., Tanyer, A., Arayici, Y., Zhang, X., & Song, Y. (2005). Urban information model for city planning. Journal of Information Technology in Construction, 10, 55-67

City planning is a complex task and therefore needs to consider the interplay between multi-aspects of a city, for example, transport, pollution, and crime. A city model is important to representing urban issues in a clear manner to the relative stak... Read More about Urban information model for city planning.
