Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lopez-Ibanez, M., Devi Prasad, T., & Paechter, B. (2005). Multi-Objective Optimisation of the Pump Scheduling Problem using SPEA2. . https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2005.1554716

Significant operational cost and energy savings can be achieved by optimising the schedules of pumps, which pump water from source reservoirs to storage tanks, in water distribution networks. Despite the fact that pump scheduling problem involves sev... Read More about Multi-Objective Optimisation of the Pump Scheduling Problem using SPEA2..

Efficacy and tolerability of tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs compared with placebo for treatment of depression in primary care: A meta-analysis (2005)
Journal Article
Arroll, B., Macgillivray, S., Ogston, S., Reid, I., Sullivan, F., Williams, B., & Crombie, I. (2005).

Annals of Family Medicine, 3(5), 449-456. https://doi.org/10.1370/afm.349

PURPOSE Depression is common in primary care. There are no systematic reviews of depression treatment comparing antidepressants with placebo; hence, we do not know whether these medications are effective in primary care.

METHODS We searched the Co... Read More about Efficacy and tolerability of tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs compared with placebo for treatment of depression in primary care: A meta-analysis.

Free-CoA mediated regulation of intermediary and central metabolism: An hypothesis, which accounts for the excretion of α-ketoglutarate during aerobic growth of E. coli on acetate (2005)
Journal Article
El-Mansi, M. (2005). Free-CoA mediated regulation of intermediary and central metabolism: An hypothesis, which accounts for the excretion of α-ketoglutarate during aerobic growth of E. coli on acetate. Research in Microbiology, 156(8), 874-879. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resmic.2005.04.008

During growth of Escherichia coli on acetate, phosphotransacetylase and -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase are in direct competition for their common co-factor, HS-CoA. Such competition is resolved in favour of phosphotransacetylase, thus rendering -ketogl...

Hippocalcin functions as a calcium sensor in hippocampal LTD (2005)
Journal Article
Palmer, C., Lim, W., Hastie, P. G. R., Toward, M., Korolchuk, V. I., Burbidge, S. A., …Henley, J. M. (2005). Hippocalcin functions as a calcium sensor in hippocampal LTD. Neuron, 47(4), 487-494. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2005.06.014

It is not fully understood how NMDAR-dependent LTD causes Ca2+-dependent endocytosis of AMPARs. Here we show that the neuronal Ca2+ sensor hippocalcin binds the β2-adaptin subunit of the AP2 adaptor complex and that along with GluR2 these coimmunopre...
