A simple and versatile interface to feed analogue data from the output of analytical instruments to a BBC microcomputer.

Ebdon, L; Alonso, JI; Hill, SJ; Hopkins, A (England, 1987)

An interface is described to convert analogue data from the recorder or other output of a typical analytical spectrometer, or other instrument, to an amplified form suitable for feeding to the ADC of a microcomputer (BBC ...

On-line analyte preconcentration with atomic spectrometric detection.

Ebdon, L; Fisher, AS; Hill, SJ; Worsfold, PJ (England, 1991)

Pre-concentration of analytes, or matrix removal to overcome interferences using mini- or micro-columns of exchange media prior to atomic spectrometric detection is becoming increasingly more common. This paper is a review ...

Automated cold vapour flow-injection analysis of mercury at high concentrations.

Corns, WT; Ebdon, LC; Hill, SJ; Stockwell, PB (England, 1991)

Continuous-flow cold vapour- atomic fluorescence spectrometry is shown to be an extremely sensitive technique for the determination of mercury with detection limits typically below 0.01 mug l(-1). Linear calibration ranges ...

Fludarabine phosphate for the treatment of low grade lymphoid malignancy.

Whelan, JS; Davis, CL; Rule, S; Ranson, M; Smith, OP; Mehta, AB; Catovsky, D; Rohatiner, AZ; Lister, TA (England, 1991-07)

Thirty-four patients with previously treated, advanced, low grade NHL were treated with Fludarabine, a deamination-resistant analogue of adenosine arabinoside, at a dose of 25 mg m-2 intravenously, daily for 5 days (median ...

Horizons: a vocational approach to the National Curriculum

Howgill, KA; Harris, A (HobsonsCambridge, 1992-12-01)

A portable battery-powered flow injection monitor for the in situ analysis of nitrate in natural waters.

Blundell, NJ; Hopkins, A; Worsfold, PJ; Casey, H (England, 1993)

The design and performance of a portable, automated flow injection (FI)-based photometric monitor are described. The system is controlled by an in-house microcomputer system that enables the monitor (including a solid ...

Serum-free medium for long-term growth, freezing, cloning and fusion of myelomas and hybridomas.

Li, JL; Li, YJ; Chao, S; Ouyang, MH; Peng, YB (United States, 1993-02)

Joint Determination of Demand for Inputs and Choice of Rice Varieties: A Meta-Production Function Approach

Rahman, S (1993-07-05)

Fierce competition in the already thin world rice market for low quality rice exports raised concerns on the future of rice production in Thailand for its increasing labor wages and production costs and its exporting ...

Pfmrk, a MO15-related protein kinase from Plasmodium falciparum. Gene cloning, sequence, stage-specific expression and chromosome localization.

Li, JL; Robson, KJ; Chen, JL; Targett, GA; Baker, DA (England, 1996-11-01)

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) play a central role in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle. A novel gene encoding a Cdk-like protein, Pfmrk, has been isolated from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. ...

Amphibolous weglarskae Dastych, a new addition to the Tardigrada of Iceland with an updated checklist of Icelandic species (Eohypsibiidae, Eutardigrada).

Marley, NJ; Wright, DE (1996-11-01)

Child protection and health promotion: Whose responsibility?

Westlake, D; Pearson, M (1997-04)

Reversal of parkinsonian symptoms in primates by antagonism of excitatory amino acid transmission: potential mechanisms of action.

Mitchell, IJ; Carroll, CB (United States, 1997-07)

Parkinsonism is characterised by overactive glutamatergic transmission in the cortico-striatal and subthalamo-medial pallidal pathways. Local blockade of glutamatergic transmission in these pathways can alleviate parkinsonian ...

Protein phosphatase beta, a putative type-2A protein phosphatase from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

Li, JL; Baker, DA (England, 1997-10-01)

Protein phosphatases play a critical role in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle and signal transduction. A putative protein serine/threonine phosphatase gene has been isolated from the human malaria parasite ...

Socio-economic and Environmental Impacts of Technological Change in Bangladesh Agriculture

Rahman, S (1998-08-10)

Widespread controversies exist on the delayed consequences of technological change or ‘Green Revolution’ technology in agriculture largely due to the approach utilized in the evaluation process and the extent of issues ...
