Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence to other species' β... Read More about Cloning and characterization of Xenopus beta 2-microglobulin.

Mental Accounting and Decision Making: Evidence under Reverse Conditions where Money is Spent for Time Saved (2005)
Journal Article

Evidence from the behavioural decision literature suggests that economic decisions may be made on less than rational grounds. In this respect the formation of ‘mental accounts’ by individuals has been used to explain apparent departures from rational...

Changes in the expression and distribution of nuclear lamins were investigated during C2C12 myoblast differentiation. The expression of most lamins was unchanged during myogenesis. By contrast, lamin-B2 expression increased and LAP2 expression decrea...

Understanding the taphonomy of tephra (volcanic ash) is crucial to the use of tephrochronology in peatlands. This study uses field experiments on a Scottish peatland to investigate the post-depositional movement of tephra in peat. Experiments were de...
