S Baird, FHG Ferreira, B Özler… - Journal of Development …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis

Cash transfer programmes are a popular social protection tool in developing countries that aim, among other things, to improve education outcomes in developing countries. The debate over whether these programmes should include conditions has been at the forefront of...

GSID: BSZQBoTt8H4J
S Bonnefoy-Claudet, F Cotton, PY Bard - Earth-Science Reviews, 2006 - Elsevier

The aim of this paper is to discuss the existing scientific literature in order to gather all the available information dealing with the origin and the nature of the ambient seismic noise wavefield. This issue is essential as the...

Larval green and white sturgeon swimming performance in relation to water-diversion flows.

Conservation physiology

Verhille CE, Poletto JB, Cocherell DE, DeCourten B, Baird S, Cech JJ, Fangue NA.
PMID: 27293652
Conserv Physiol. 2014 Aug 23;2(1):cou031. doi: 10.1093/conphys/cou031. eCollection 2014.

Little is known of the swimming capacities of larval sturgeons, despite global population declines in many species due in part to fragmentation of their spawning and rearing habitats by man-made water-diversion structures. Larval green (Acipenser medirostris) and white sturgeon...

Energy Burden and the Need for Integrated Low-Income Housing and Energy Policy.

Poverty & public policy

Hernández D, Bird S.
PMID: 27053989
Poverty Public Policy. 2010 Nov;2(4):5-25. doi: 10.2202/1944-2858.1095.

Using detailed sociological and public health qualitative interview data, we demonstrate that energy poverty is more pervasive, and results in a greater energy burden for low-income tenants, than many policymakers would assume. This is due in part to a...

Teleost Chemokines and Their Receptors.

Biology

Bird S, Tafalla C.
PMID: 26569324
Biology (Basel). 2015 Nov 11;4(4):756-84. doi: 10.3390/biology4040756.

Chemokines are a superfamily of cytokines that appeared about 650 million years ago, at the emergence of vertebrates, and are responsible for regulating cell migration under both inflammatory and physiological conditions. The first teleost chemokine gene was reported in...

Variations in the prevalence of childhood asthma and wheeze in MeDALL cohorts in Europe.

ERJ open research

Uphoff EP, Bird PK, Antó JM, Basterrechea M, von Berg A, Bergström A, Bousquet J, Chatzi L, Fantini MP, Ferrero A, Gehring U, Gori D, Heinrich J, Keil T, Kull I, Lau S, Maier D, Momas I, Narduzzi S, Porta D, Ranciere F, Roumeliotaki T, Schikowski T, Smit HA, Standl M, Sunyer J, Wright J.
PMID: 28845428
ERJ Open Res. 2017 Jul 03;3(3). doi: 10.1183/23120541.00150-2016. eCollection 2017 Jul.

While there is evidence for variations in prevalence rates of childhood wheeze and asthma between countries, longitudinal, individual-level data are needed to understand these differences. The aim of this study was to examine variations in prevalence rates of childhood...

Effects of culture density, conditioned medium and feeder cultures on microspore embryogenesis in Brassica napus L. cv. Topas.

Plant cell reports

Huang B, Bird S, Kemble R, Simmonds D, Keller W, Miki B.
PMID: 24232679
Plant Cell Rep. 1990 Mar;8(10):594-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00270061.

In microspore cultures of Brassica napus L. cv. Topas, embryo yield increases with culture density up to about 40,000 microspores per ml. A much higher density (100,000 per ml) appears inhibitory to embryogenesis. A relatively high culture density (30,000...

Properties of galaxies reproduced by a hydrodynamic simulation.

Nature

Vogelsberger M, Genel S, Springel V, Torrey P, Sijacki D, Xu D, Snyder G, Bird S, Nelson D, Hernquist L.
PMID: 24805343
Nature. 2014 May 08;509(7499):177-82. doi: 10.1038/nature13316.

Previous simulations of the growth of cosmic structures have broadly reproduced the 'cosmic web' of galaxies that we see in the Universe, but failed to create a mixed population of elliptical and spiral galaxies, because of numerical inaccuracies and...

The genetic control of grain esterases in hexaploid wheat : 1. Allelic variation.

TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik

Ainsworth CC, Gale MD, Baird S.
PMID: 24259058
Theor Appl Genet. 1984 Jun;68(3):219-26. doi: 10.1007/BF00266893.

Analysis of grain esterase isozymes in Chinese Spring aneuploid genotypes by IEF confirmed that genes on the long arms of chromosomes 3A, 3B and 3D (Est-5) control the production of 19 isozymes. Allelic variants have been found for the...

The tomato polygalacturonase gene and ripening-specific expression in transgenic plants.

Plant molecular biology

Bird CR, Smith CJ, Ray JA, Moureau P, Bevan MW, Bird AS, Hughes S, Morris PC, Grierson D, Schuch W.
PMID: 24272499
Plant Mol Biol. 1988 Sep;11(5):651-62. doi: 10.1007/BF00017465.

Polygalacturonase (PG) is the major cell wall degrading enzyme of tomato fruit. It is developmentally regulated and is synthesised de novo in ripening fruit. Genomic clones encoding a PG gene of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv. Ailsa Craig) have...
