Evaluation of conventional and molecular strategies for the rapid diagnosis and molecular characterisation of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2003)
Thesis
Gilpin, C. Evaluation of conventional and molecular strategies for the rapid diagnosis and molecular characterisation of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

Laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis is often difficult and time consuming. This study has evaluated some new strategies for improved isolation and detection of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical specimens. This work was conducted over several y... Read More about Evaluation of conventional and molecular strategies for the rapid diagnosis and molecular characterisation of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

A systematic review of methods to measure posture (2003)
Journal Article
Tyson, S. (2003). A systematic review of methods to measure posture. Physical Therapy Reviews, 8(1), 45-50. https://doi.org/10.1179/108331903225001390

The restoration of normal posture is an important aspect of stroke physiotherapy, because normal activity is thought essential for effective function. However, there is little evidence to support (or refute) this belief. To test this, suitable measur... Read More about A systematic review of methods to measure posture.

Performance predictions of mature experimental constructed wetlands, which treat urban water receiving high loads of lead and copper (2003)

Scholz, M. (2003). Performance predictions of mature experimental constructed wetlands, which treat urban water receiving high loads of lead and copper. Water Research, 37(6), 1270-1277. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0043-1354%2802%2900373-1

The treatment efficiencies of vertical-flow wetland filters containing macrophytes and granular media of different adsorption capacities were investigated. Different concentrations of lead and copper sulphate were added to urban stream inflow water i...

Report
Sanabria, R., Skinner, E., Font, X., Maccarrone-Eaglen, A., Sallows, M., & Fredericksen, M. (2003). Sustainable Tourism Stewardship Council - raising the standards and benefits of sustainable tourism and ecotourism certification

Certification of sustainable tourism and ecotourism can help to reduce the negative
environmental and social impacts of tourism, ensure that the tourism industry is held
accountable and provide marketing benefits to those firms that meet the certif... Read More about Sustainable Tourism Stewardship Council - raising the standards and benefits of sustainable tourism and ecotourism certification.

Strain mapping (2003)
Book Chapter
Webster, P. (2003). Strain mapping. In M. Fitzpatrick, & A. Lodini (Eds.), Analysis of residual stress by diffraction using neutron and synchrotron radiation (209-218). CRC Press

Neutron strain scanning techniques have been developing since the early 1980s [1-3] and synchrotron X-ray techniques rapidly since the 1990s [4, 5]. The first neutron measurements used single detector instruments at medium flux reactor sources, 'gaug... Read More about Strain mapping.

Spin valve magnetization reversal obtained by N-doping in Fe/insulator/Fe trilayers (2003)
Journal Article
Georgieva, M., Telling, N., Jones, G., Grundy, P., Hase, T., & Tanner, B. (2003). Spin valve magnetization reversal obtained by N-doping in Fe/insulator/Fe trilayers. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 15(4), 617-624. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/15/4/302

The effect of N-doping on the microstructure and coercivity of the ‘free’ Fe
layer in Fe/insulator/Fe trilayers has been examined. Itwas found thatN-doping
leads to a magnetic softening of the Fe layer and a corresponding reduction in
the grain si... Read More about Spin valve magnetization reversal obtained by N-doping in Fe/insulator/Fe trilayers.

The structural properties of two mechanically activated commercial LaNi5 type battery materials and their deuterides have been investigated by means of in situ neutron powder diffraction analysis. A discussion of the hysteresis between the absorption...

Glyoxal, a reactive aldehyde, is a decomposition product of lipid hydroperoxides, oxidative deoxyribose breakdown, or autoxidation of sugars, such as glucose. It readily forms DNA adducts, generating potential carcinogens such as glyoxalated deoxycyt...
