Fungal remediation of soils contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (2001)
Book Chapter
Singleton, I. (2001). Fungal remediation of soils contaminated with persistent organic pollutants. In G. M. Gadd (Ed.), Fungi in Bioremediation, (79-96). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511541780.005

Laboratory-based studies have shown that fungi are able to degrade a wide range of organic pollutants (see other chapters) and have great potential for use as inoculants to remediate contaminated soil. However, soil is a heterogeneous environment and... Read More about Fungal remediation of soils contaminated with persistent organic pollutants.

Home and commercialized hospitality (2001)
Book Chapter
LYNCH, P. (2001). Home and commercialized hospitality. In In Search of Hospitality, 100-117. Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-7506-5431-9.50010-x

We others who have long lost the more subtle of the physical senses, have not even proper terms to express an animal's inter-communications with his surroundings, living or otherwise, and have only the word ‘smell’, for instance to include the whole...

Valuing people as individuals: development of an instrument through a survey of person-centredness in secondary care (2001)
Journal Article
Williams, B., & Coyle, J. (2001). Valuing people as individuals: development of an instrument through a survey of person-centredness in secondary care. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 36(3), 450-459. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2648.2001.01993.x

Background. Person‐centred care is regarded as the optimum way of delivering health care and is defined as valuing people as individuals (51). So how can practitioners find out if their service ‘values people as individuals’? Serious doubts have been...

Drosophila melanogasterGlutamate-Cysteine Ligase Activity Is Regulated by a Modifier Subunit with a Mechanism of Action Similar to That of the Mammalian Form (2001)
Journal Article
Fraser, J. A., Saunders, R. D. C., & McLellan, L. I. (2002). Drosophila melanogasterGlutamate-Cysteine Ligase Activity Is Regulated by a Modifier Subunit with a Mechanism of Action Similar to That of the Mammalian Form. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 277(2), 1158-1165. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m106683200

Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) plays an important role in regulating glutathione homeostasis. In mammals, it comprises a catalytic (GCLC) and modifier (GCLM) subunit. The existence of a modifier subunit in invertebrates has not been described to dat...

Cloning and functional pharmacology of two corticotropin-releasing factor receptors from a teleost fish (2001)
Journal Article
Pohl, S., Darlison, M. G., Clarke, W., Lederis, K., & Richter, D. (2001). Cloning and functional pharmacology of two corticotropin-releasing factor receptors from a teleost fish. European Journal of Pharmacology, 430(2-3), 193-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0014-2999%2801%2901391-7

Although it is well established that fish possess corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and a CRF-like peptide, urotensin I, comparatively little is known about the pharmacology of their cognate receptors. Here we report the isolation and functional e... Read More about Cloning and functional pharmacology of two corticotropin-releasing factor receptors from a teleost fish.

Reliability and responsiveness of the shuttle walking test in patients with chronic low back pain (2001)
Journal Article

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. Walking is an important functional activity and the shuttle walking test has been shown to be a useful test for patients with chronic airways obstruction and heart failure. The test has been used in low back pain rese... Read More about Reliability and responsiveness of the shuttle walking test in patients with chronic low back pain.

Disclosure of minor mental health problems: an exploratory theoretical study (2001)

Aim. The aim of this study was to explore people’s experiences, concerns and beliefs about disclosing minor mental health problems by focusing on the ways in which such disclosures are interpreted.

Background. Approximately half of people with men... Read More about Disclosure of minor mental health problems: an exploratory theoretical study.

Validity study of the severity index, a simple measure of urinary incontinence in women (2001)
Journal Article
Hanley, J., Capewell, A., & Hagen, S. (2001). Validity study of the severity index, a simple measure of urinary incontinence in women. BMJ, 322(7294), 1096-1097. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.322.7294.1096

A severity index that diagnoses urinary incontinence as slight, moderate, or severe appears to be effective, according to a study of 237 women. The index is based on how frequently the woman experiences incontinence and how much urine is lost.
