Fishing behavior in a giant tailess whip spider. (2003)
Journal Article
Ladle, R. J., & Velander, K. (2003). Fishing behavior in a giant tailess whip spider. Journal of Arachnology, 31, 154-156

Whip spiders (Amblypygi) are a small and understudied group of arachnids characterised by long antenniform legs and raptorial pedipalps. Due to their nocturnal habits, secretive nature and geographical distribution there have been very few studies o... Read More about Fishing behavior in a giant tailess whip spider..

Molecular toxicology studies on the quartz hazard. (2003)
Thesis
Duffin, R. Molecular toxicology studies on the quartz hazard. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2777

Silicon makes up almost 28% of the Earth's crust and within that crust, quartz (crystalline silica) is one of the most abundant minerals. Exposure to quartz can occur
in a number of occupations, including the mining and construction industries in wh... Read More about Molecular toxicology studies on the quartz hazard..

Gordonia sinesedis sp. nov., a novel soil isolate. (2003)
Journal Article
Maldonado, L. A., Stainsby, F. M., Ward, A. C., & Goodfellow, M. (2003). Gordonia sinesedis sp. nov., a novel soil isolate. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 83, 75-80. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1022918102948

The taxonomic position of an actinomycete isolated from soil was evaluated using a polyphasic approach. The organism, strain J72, was found to have chemical and morphological properties consistent with its assignment to the genus Gordonia. A nearly c...

Congruence in the performance of model nitrifying activated sludge plants located in Germany, Scotland and Spain (2003)
Journal Article
Christofi, N., Aspichueta, E., Dalzell, D., De la Sota, A., Etxebarria, J., Fernandes, T., Gutierrez, M., Morton, J., Obst, U., & Schmellenkamp, P. (2003). Congruence in the performance of model nitrifying activated sludge plants located in Germany, Scotland and Spain. Water Research, 37(1), 177-187. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0043-1354%2802%2900119-7

A laboratory model nitrifying activated sludge plant treating OECD synthetic sewage was designed and constructed by each of three laboratories in Germany, Scotland and Spain in order to produce a sludge inoculum for 5 rapid toxicity bioassays. The pl... Read More about Congruence in the performance of model nitrifying activated sludge plants located in Germany, Scotland and Spain.

Undernutrition of ewe lambs in utero and in early post-natal life does not affect hypothalamic–pituitary function in adulthood (2003)
Journal Article
Borwick, S., Rae, M., Brooks, J., McNeilly, A., Racey, P., & Rhind, S. (2003). Undernutrition of ewe lambs in utero and in early post-natal life does not affect hypothalamic–pituitary function in adulthood. Animal Reproduction Science, 77(1-2), 61-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0378-4320%2802%2900261-0

The effect of undernutrition in utero, during late gestation (from day 100), and early neonatal life on hypothalamic–pituitary function was investigated in female lambs born to ewes fed rations calculated to provide either 100% (high; H) or 70% (low;...

Changes in microbial properties associated with long-term arsenic and DDT contaminated soils at disused cattle dip sites (2003)
Journal Article
Edvantoro, B., Naidu, R., Megharaj, M., & Singleton, I. (2003). Changes in microbial properties associated with long-term arsenic and DDT contaminated soils at disused cattle dip sites. Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 55(3), 344-351. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0147-6513%2802%2900092-1

This work examined the effect of long-term arsenic (As) and DDT contamination on soil microbial properties at 11 cattle dip sites in northern New South Wales, Australia. Total As in the surface (0–10 cm) soils from these sites ranged from 34 to 2941...

Lysyl Oxidase Gene Expression and Enzyme Activity in the Rat Ovary: Regulation by Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Androgen, and Transforming Growth Factor-β Superfamily Members in Vitro (2003)
Journal Article
Harlow, C. R., Rae, M., Davidson, L., Trackman, P. C., & Hillier, S. G. (2003). Lysyl Oxidase Gene Expression and Enzyme Activity in the Rat Ovary: Regulation by Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Androgen, and Transforming Growth Factor-β Superfamily Members in Vitro. Endocrinology, 144(1), 154-162. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2002-220652

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the final enzymatic reaction required for cross-linking of collagen and elastin fibers and therefore has a crucial role in regulating the formation and maintenance of extracellular matrix in the ovary. LOX mRNA is abunda...

Sodium bicarbonate ingestion does not alter the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics in professional cyclists (2003)
Journal Article
Santalla, A., Pérez, M., Montilla, M., Vicente, L., Davison, R., Earnest, C., & Lucía, A. (2003). Sodium bicarbonate ingestion does not alter the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics in professional cyclists. Journal of Sports Sciences, 21(1), 39-47. https://doi.org/10.1080/0264041031000070949

We examined the effects of pre-exercise sodium bicarbonate (NaHC[O.sub.3]) ingestion on the slow component of oxygen uptake (V[O.sub.2]) kinetics in seven professional road cyclists during intense exercise. One hour after ingesting either a placebo o... Read More about Sodium bicarbonate ingestion does not alter the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics in professional cyclists.

The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models. (2003)
Report
Lightbody, J., Hutchison, G. R., Donaldson, K., & Stone, V. (2003). The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models

Particulate air pollution has been consistently linked with an increase in morbidity and mortality due to respiratory complications and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate which components of PM10 are important in driving... Read More about The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models..
