Permeabilization of Model Lipid Membranes by Bacillus sphaericus Mosquitocidal Binary Toxin and its Individual Components
The high larvicidal effect of Bacillus sphaericus (Bs), a mosquito control agent, originates from the presence of a binary toxin (Bs Bin) composed of two proteins (BinA and BinB) that work together to lyse gut c...

A mathematical model of the stress induced during avascular tumour growth
In this paper a mathematical model is developed to describe the effect of nonuniform growth on the mechanical stress experienced by cells within an avascular tumour. The constitutive law combines the stress-s...

Some 3-D gas flow effects in detonator delay elements
In a previous paper, Norgrove et al [1], we studied theoretically the one- dimensional propagation of a flame front down a detonator delay element when there is significant gas production. The heat and mass ba...

An Extinction Criterion for a Catalytic Wall Reactor
When a catalytic wall reactor is operating properly the boundary walls of the reactor are at a high temperature and a strong temperature dependent exothermic reaction at the walls heats and reacts the inlet ga...
