Direct effects of snowdrop lectin (GNA) on larvae of three aphid predators and fate of GNA after ingestion (2006)
Journal Article
Hogervorst, P., Ferry, N., Gatehouse, A., Wäckers, F., & Romeis, J. (2006). Direct effects of snowdrop lectin (GNA) on larvae of three aphid predators and fate of GNA after ingestion. Journal of Insect Physiology, 52(6), 614-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinsphys.2006.02.011

Plants genetically modified to express Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) have been found to confer partial resistance to homopteran pests. Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate direct effects of GNA on larvae of three species of aphid...

Alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylase excision of 7-(hydroxymethyl)-1,N6-ethenoadenine, a glycidaldehyde-derived DNA adduct (2006)
Journal Article
Wang, P., Guliaev, A., Elder, R., & Hang, B. (2006). Alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylase excision of 7-(hydroxymethyl)-1,N6-ethenoadenine, a glycidaldehyde-derived DNA adduct. DNA Repair, 5(1), 23-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dnarep.2005.07.013

Glycidaldehyde (GDA) is a bifunctional alkylating agent that has been shown to be mutagenic in vitro and carcinogenic in rodents. However, the molecular mechanism by which it exerts these effects is not established. GDA is capable of forming exocycli...

Role of regulatory T cells in allergy: implications for therapeutic strategy (2006)
Journal Article
Elkord, E. (2006). Role of regulatory T cells in allergy: implications for therapeutic strategy. Inflammation and Allergy - Drug Targets, 5(4), 211-217. https://doi.org/10.2174/187152806779010945

The interest in regulatory T cells (Tregs) has been revived following the discovery of developing multiorgan autoimmune diseases as a result of depleting CD4+CD25+ T cells from mice. The importance of Tregs is being recognized in various clinical fie... Read More about Role of regulatory T cells in allergy: implications for therapeutic strategy.

Improving similarity search in time series using wavelets (2006)
Journal Article
Liabotis, I., Theodoulidis, B., & Saraee, M. (2006). Improving similarity search in time series using wavelets. International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining, 2(2), 1116-1137. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59904-951-9.ch064

Sequences constitute a large portion of data stored in databases. Data mining applications require the ability to process similarity queries over a large amount of time series data. The query processing performance is an important factor that needs t... Read More about Improving similarity search in time series using wavelets.

Electronic structure of InyGa1−yAs1−xNx∕GaAs(N) quantum dots by ten-band k∙p theory (2006)
Journal Article
Tomic, S. (2006). Electronic structure of InyGa1−yAs1−xNx∕GaAs(N) quantum dots by ten-band k∙p theory. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 73(12), 125348. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.73.125348

We present a theoretical study of the electronic and optical properties of InGaAsN∕GaAs quantum dot structures. The calculations are based on a 10×10 k∙p band anticrossing Hamiltonian, incorporating valence, conduction, and nitrogen-induced bands. Nu...
