A developmental model of basic ICT skills for pre-service trainee teachers (2007)
Conference Proceeding
M. Bass, J. (2007). A developmental model of basic ICT skills for pre-service trainee teachers. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ictd.2007.4937404

Resource limitations present several challenges to diffusion of ICT skills in developing (non-OECD) countries. Trainee teachers join colleges of teacher education with little or no prior exposure to technologies such as mobile phones or computers. Di...

Technology adoption : breaking down barriers using a virtual reality design support tool for hybrid concrete (2007)
Journal Article
Goulding, J., Kagioglou, M., Sexton, M., Zhang, X., Aouad, G., & Barrett, P. (2007). Technology adoption : breaking down barriers using a virtual reality design support tool for hybrid concrete. Construction Management and Economics, 25(12), 1239-1250. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446190701504234

The use of hybrid concrete technologies as a viable solution to traditional frame design has been inhibited by a general lack of information. The uptake of this technology has therefore been slow and parochial, as designers have tended to stay loyal...

Epistasy search in population-based gene mapping using mutual information (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., Nikoofar, H., & Manzour, A. (2007, December). Epistasy search in population-based gene mapping using mutual information. Presented at 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology, Cairo, EGYPT

Gene mapping intends to identify the causal genetic regions of a specific phenotype mostly a complex disease. These diseases are believed to have multiple contributing loci that are potentially unknown and often have subtle patterns making them hard...

Circular dichroism to determine binding mode and affinity of ligand-DNA interactions (2007)
Journal Article
Garbett, N., Ragazzon, P., & Chaires, J. (2007). Circular dichroism to determine binding mode and affinity of ligand-DNA interactions. Nature Protocols, 2(12), 3166-3172

Circular dichroism (CD) is a useful technique for an assessment of DNA-binding mode, being a more accessible, low-resolution complement to NMR and X-ray diffraction methods. Ligand-DNA interactions can be studied by virtue of the interpretation of in... Read More about Circular dichroism to determine binding mode and affinity of ligand-DNA interactions.

An assessment of eye-gaze potential within immersive virtual environments (2007)
Journal Article
Murray, N., Roberts, D., Sharkey, P., Steed, A., Dickerson, P., & Rae, J. (2007). An assessment of eye-gaze potential within immersive virtual environments. ACM transactions on multimedia computing communications and applications, 3(4), 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1145/1314303.1314311

In collaborative situations, eye gaze is a critical element of behaviour which supports and fulfills many activities and roles. In current computer-supported collaboration systems, eye gaze is poorly supported. Even in a state-of-the-art video confer...

The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products (2007)
Thesis
Lawson, W. The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The reliability of electronic products is fast becoming of major importance with the demand for increased safety, especially in the automotive industry. Tracks, pads and vias on printed circuit boards can suffer a variety of problems if circuits ar...

Bitrophic and tritrophic effects of Bt Cry3A transgenic potato on beneficial, non-target, beetles. (2007)
Journal Article
Ferry, N., Mulligan, E., Majerus, M., & Gatehouse, A. (2007). Bitrophic and tritrophic effects of Bt Cry3A transgenic potato on beneficial, non-target, beetles. Transgenic Research, 16(6), 795-812. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11248-007-9088-9

Insect-resistant transgenic plants have been suggested to have unpredictable effects on the biodiversity of the agro-ecosystem, including potential effects on insect natural enemies, beneficial in control of crop pests. Whilst carnivorous as adults,... Read More about Bitrophic and tritrophic effects of Bt Cry3A transgenic potato on beneficial, non-target, beetles..

Hidden innovation in the construction and property sectors (2007)
Journal Article
Barrett, P., Abbott, C., Sexton, M., & Ruddock, L. (2007). Hidden innovation in the construction and property sectors. RICS research review series, 7(20), 1-21

The construction and property industries have a poor reputation for innovation. Indeed, this reputation appears to be backed by official statistics which projects these industries as being devoid of innovative activity. However, the reputation is un...

Use of competition dialysis in the discovery of G-quadruplex selective ligands (2007)
Journal Article
Ragazzon, P., & Chaires, J. (2007). Use of competition dialysis in the discovery of G-quadruplex selective ligands. Methods, 43(4), 313-323

G-quadrplex DNA can exist in a rich variety of structural forms, ranging from unimolecular folded structures containing diverse types of loops and strand oreintations, to bimolecular dimeric structures, and finally to tetramolecular parallel-stranded...
