Identification of the mechanisms that drive the toxicity of TiO2 particulates: the contribution of physicochemical characteristics (2009)
Journal Article
Johnston, H. J., Hutchison, G. R., Christensen, F. M., Peters, S., Hankin, S., & Stone, V. (2009). Identification of the mechanisms that drive the toxicity of TiO2 particulates: the contribution of physicochemical characteristics. Particle and fibre toxicology, 6(1), 33. https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-8977-6-33

This review focuses on outlining the toxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particulates in vitro and in vivo, in order to understand their ability to detrimentally impact on human health. Evaluating the hazards associated with TiO₂ particles is vital a...

Biomass accumulation in a rehabilitated mangrove forest at Gazi Bay (2009)
Book Chapter
Tamooh, F., Kairo, J. G., Huxham, M., Kirui, B., Mencuccini, M., & Karachi, M. (2009). Biomass accumulation in a rehabilitated mangrove forest at Gazi Bay. In Advances in Coastal Ecology : People, Processes and Ecosystems in Kenya, (138-147). African Studies Centre

Global mangrove coverage is estimated to be 0.4% of the forested areas globally (Spalding et al. 1997). Despite this small areal coverage, mangroves are important because of the range of ecological, economic and environmental services they provide (S...

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 284, 334-344. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M805165200

Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a multidomain enzyme that plays a central role in autophagic and apoptotic signaling, although the protein-protein interactions regulating DAPK functions are not well defined. Peptide aptamer libraries were u...

First field record of mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ucididae) recruits co-inhabiting burrows of conspecific crabs (2009)
Journal Article
Schmidt, A. J., & Diele, K. (2009). First field record of mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ucididae) recruits co-inhabiting burrows of conspecific crabs. Zoologia, 26, 792-794. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1984-46702009000400026

Recruits of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), rarely encountered in the field were found co-inhabiting burrows of larger male and female conspecifics in the mangrove forest. They were located in the sediment of the inner walls and b...

Visual search for targets on natural textured backgrounds. (2009)
Journal Article
Green, P. R., Willis, A., & Egan, C. D. (2008). Visual search for targets on natural textured backgrounds. Perception, 38, (41). ISSN 0301-0066

Little is known about visual search for targets on natural, textured backgrounds, or about the capacity of biological camouflage patterns to provide protection across a range of backgrounds. The experiments described address both these problems. Obse... Read More about Visual search for targets on natural textured backgrounds..

To investigate changes at the centrosome during the cell cycle, we analyzed the composition of the pericentriolar material from unsynchronized and S-phase-arrested cells by gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. We identified HCA66, a protein... Read More about Stability of the small γ-tubulin complex requires HCA66, a protein of the centrosome and the nucleolus..

The effects of a distractor on the visual gaze behaviour of children at signalized road crossings (2009)
Journal Article

Children are over-represented in pedestrian injuries. This may be explained, at least in part, by poorer attentional mechanisms at the roadside compared with skilled adults. We have recently shown that children are more likely to attend to task-irrel... Read More about The effects of a distractor on the visual gaze behaviour of children at signalized road crossings.
