Microsampling and Isotopic Analysis of Igneous Rocks: Implications for the Study of Magmatic Systems (2007)
Journal Article
Davidson, J., Morgan, D., Charlier, B., Harlou, R., & Hora, J. (2007). Microsampling and Isotopic Analysis of Igneous Rocks: Implications for the Study of Magmatic Systems. Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 35, 273-311. https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev.earth.35.031306.140211

Isotopic fingerprinting has long been used to trace magmatic processes and the components that contribute to magmas. Recent technological improvements enable us to measure the isotopic composition of progressively smaller samples. This has provided a...

Shifting gender relations at Khok Phanom Di, Thailand: Isotopic evidence from the skeletons (2007)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Tayles, N., Higham, C., Macpherson, C., & Atkinson, T. (2007). Shifting gender relations at Khok Phanom Di, Thailand: Isotopic evidence from the skeletons. Current Anthropology, 48(2), 301-314. https://doi.org/10.1086/512987

The values for isotopes of strontium, carbon, and oxygen in human tooth enamel from the prehistoric site of Khok Phanom Di (ca. 2100–1500 BC) in Thailand shed light on human mobility and marital residence during a crucial period of subsistence change...

Species-specific effects of elevated CO2 on resource allocation in Plantago maritima and Armeria maritima. (2007)
Journal Article
Davey, M., Harmens, H., Ashenden, T., Edwards, R., & Baxter, R. (2007). Species-specific effects of elevated CO2 on resource allocation in Plantago maritima and Armeria maritima. Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 35(3), 121-129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bse.2006.09.004

We investigated the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on the biomass, photosynthesis, protein and phenolic concentrations and content of Plantago maritima and Armeria maritima. This enabled us to test the protein competition model (PCM) for predic... Read More about Species-specific effects of elevated CO2 on resource allocation in Plantago maritima and Armeria maritima..

Band gap and Schottky barrier heights of multiferroic BiFeO3 (2007)
Journal Article
Clark, S., & Robertson, J. (2007). Band gap and Schottky barrier heights of multiferroic BiFeO3. Applied Physics Letters, 90(13), Article 132903. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2716868

BiFeO3 is an interesting multiferroic oxide and a potentially important Pb-free ferroelectric. However, its applications can be limited by large leakage currents. Its band gap is calculated by the density-functional based screened exchange method to... Read More about Band gap and Schottky barrier heights of multiferroic BiFeO3.

Crystal structure and function of the zinc uptake regulator FurB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2007)
Journal Article
Lucarelli, D., Russo, S., Garman, E., Milano, A., Meyer-Klaucke, W., & Pohl, E. (2007). Crystal structure and function of the zinc uptake regulator FurB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 282(13), 9914-9922. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m609974200

Members of the ferric/zinc uptake regulator (Fur/Zur) family are the central metal-dependent regulator proteins in many Gram-negative and -positive bacteria. They are responsible for the control of a wide variety of basic physiological processes and...

Combining insights from solid-state NMR and first principles calculation: applications to the ¹⁹F NMR of octafluoronaphthalene (2007)
Journal Article
Robbins, A., Ng, W., Jochym, D., Keal, T., Clark, S., Tozer, D., & Hodgkinson, P. (2007). Combining insights from solid-state NMR and first principles calculation: applications to the ¹⁹F NMR of octafluoronaphthalene. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 9(19), 2389-2396. https://doi.org/10.1039/b701291h

Advances in solid-state NMR methodology and computational chemistry are applied to the 19F NMR of solid octafluoronaphthalene. It is demonstrated experimentally, and confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, that the spectral resolut...

Grain-size analysis of volcanic ash for the rapid assessment of respiratory health hazard (2007)
Journal Article
Horwell, C. (2007). Grain-size analysis of volcanic ash for the rapid assessment of respiratory health hazard. Journal of environmental monitoring, 9, 1107-1115. https://doi.org/10.1039/b710583p

Volcanic ash has the potential to cause acute and chronic respiratory diseases if the particles are sufficiently fine to enter the respiratory system. Characterization of the grain-size distribution (GSD) of volcanic ash is, therefore, a critical fir...

Iron-induced hydroxyl radical generation from the surface of volcanic ash particles is a possible mechanism of respiratory toxicity in addition to crystalline-silica induced pathogenicity. Here we show that volcanic ash generates hydroxyl radicals, w... Read More about Iron-induced hydroxyl radical generation from basaltic volcanic ash.
