The bactericidal effect of dendritic copper microparticles, contained in an alginate matrix, on Escherichia coli.
(United States, 2014)Although the bactericidal effect of copper has been known for centuries, there is a current resurgence of interest in the use of this element as an antimicrobial agent. During this study the use of dendritic copper ... -
Bayesian Model Selection for Beta Autoregressive Processes
We deal with Bayesian inference for Beta autoregressive processes. We restrict our attention to the class of conditionally linear processes. These processes are particularly suitable for forecasting purposes, but are ... -
A Bayesian Survival Analysis of a Historical Dataset: How Long Do Popes Live?
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-27) -
Bayesian Wavelet Shrinkage of the Haar-Fisz Transformed Wavelet Periodogram.
(United States, 2015)It is increasingly being realised that many real world time series are not stationary and exhibit evolving second-order autocovariance or spectral structure. This article introduces a Bayesian approach for modelling the ... -

Beta1 integrins are required for normal CNS myelination and promote AKT-dependent myelin outgrowth.
(England, 2009-08)Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) produce myelin sheaths that insulate axons to ensure fast propagation of action potentials. beta1 integrins regulate the myelination of peripheral nerves, but their ... -
Beyond maximum grade: modernising the assessment and reporting of adverse events in haematological malignancies.
(England, 2018-11)Tremendous progress in treatment and outcomes has been achieved across the whole range of haematological malignancies in the past two decades. Although cure rates for aggressive malignancies have increased, nowhere has ... -
Biases in biodiversity: Wide-ranging species are discovered first in the deep sea
(2015-01-01)© 2015 Higgs and Attrill. Calculating global estimates for total species richness is fraught by the uncertainty in estimating the number of species left to be discovered. The deep-sea is widely regarded as one of the ... -
Bio-informatics analysis of a gene co-expression module in adipose tissue containing the diet-responsive gene Nnat.
(England, 2010)Obesity causes insulin resistance in target tissues - skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver and the brain. Insulin resistance predisposes to type-2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipose tissue inflammation ... -
Bioaccumulation of metals by Fucus ceranoides in estuaries of South West England.
(England, 2011-11)Fucus ceranoides tolerates abiotic conditions encountered across the full range of estuarine salinities. We examined the bioaccumulation of metals in individuals and metal concentrations in accompanying sediment samples ... -
Biocide resistance and transmission of Clostridium difficile spores spiked onto clinical surfaces from an American healthcare facility
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-07-12)<jats:p><jats:italic>Clostridium difficile</jats:italic> is the primary cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea globally. In unfavourable environments the organism produces highly resistant spores which can survive ...
