Journal Article
Erhard, H. W., Boissy, A., Rae, M. T., & Rhind, S. M. (2004). Effects of prenatal undernutrition on emotional reactivity and cognitive flexibility in adult sheep. Behavioural Brain Research, 151(1-2), 25-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2003.08.003

The experiment reported was designed to test two hypotheses: that prenatal undernutrition (a) increases emotional reactivity and (b) impairs cognitive flexibility in sheep. The mothers of one group were fed live weight maintenance requirements throug... Read More about Effects of prenatal undernutrition on emotional reactivity and cognitive flexibility in adult sheep.

Glucocorticoid metabolism and reproduction: a tale of two enzymes (2003)
Journal Article

Within potential target cells, the actions of physiological glucocorticoids (cortisol and corticosterone) are modulated by isoforms of the enzyme 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta HSD). To date, two isoforms of 11 beta HSD have been clone... Read More about Glucocorticoid metabolism and reproduction: a tale of two enzymes.

Whole cell immobilised biosensors for toxicity assessment of a wastewater treatment plant treating phenolics-containing waste. Analytica Chimica Acta, 487(1), 61-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-2670%2803%2900358-1

Wastewater treatment plants dealing with industrial wastes are often susceptible to overload of toxic influent that can partially or completely destroy treatment for extended periods. An obvious candidate for monitoring toxicity in such wastewater sy...

Gingivitis and Toothbrushes: potential roles in Viridans Streptococcal Bacteraemia. (2003)
Journal Article

We report a case of Streptococcus oralis bacteraemia in a paediatric neutropenic patient with acute myeloid leukaemia whose predominant form of oral compromise was severe gingivitis, rather than mucositis. By phenotypic and genotypic analyses, the st... Read More about Gingivitis and Toothbrushes: potential roles in Viridans Streptococcal Bacteraemia..

Gordonia sinesedis sp. nov., a novel soil isolate. (2003)
