On q-Gaussian Integrable Hamiltonian Reductions in Anisentropic Magneto-gasdynamics
Integrable substructure in 2+1-dimensional anisentropic magneto-gasdynamics is investigated via a general elliptic vortex ansatz. The procedure involves introduction of a q-Gaussian density representation. Thermo...

Open AccessCharacterisation of the muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment
A novel single-particle technique to measure emittance has been developed and used to characterise seventeen different muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE). The muon beams, whose mean m...

Pharmacologic reversal of epigenetic silencing of the anticancer protein BRM: a novel targeted treatment strategy
Tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes are both commonly altered during carcinogenesis. For oncogenes and other genes that drive growth, targeting mutated or activated forms (such as the EGFR-Her2/Nneu pathway) ...

Open AccessCoral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands
In the northeast Caribbean, doldrum-like conditions combined with elevated water temperatures in the summer/fall 2005 created the most severe coral bleaching event ever documented within this region. Video mon...

On a Bernoulli-integrable magnetohydrodynamic system
A geometric procedure is used to isolate four Bernoulli integrals for a nonlinear, two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic system. The general solution of the latter may thereby be constructed.

A novel class of model constitutive laws in nonlinear elasticity: Construction via Loewner theory
Using a solitonic connection, we show that the class of infinitesimal Bäcklund transformations originally introduced by Loewner in 1952 in a gasodynamic context results in physically interesting nonlinear mode...

Development and genetic map** of sequence-tagged microsatellites (STMs) in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
The density of SSRs on the published genetic map of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has steadily increased over the last few years. This has improved the efficiency of marker-assisted breeding and certain type...

A new approach to extending the wheat marker pool by anchored PCR amplification of compound SSRs
A study was undertaken to determine the utility in bread wheat of anchored PCR for the development of single locus SSR markers targeted at compound repeat motifs. In anchored PCR, microsatellite amplification ...

The Kinematics of the Planar Motion of Ideal Fiber-Reinforced Fluids: An Integrable Reduction and Bäcklund Transformation
We establish that the kinematic constraints on the steady planar motion of an ideal fiber-reinforced fluid can be consolidated in a single third-order nonlinear equation. Remarkably, this equation admits a sol...

Applied Physiology of the Veins of the Lower Limb
The principle mechanisms that maintain venous return and the derangements that result in varicose veins are still understood incompletely. This is because veins, especially those of the dynamic lower limb, are...

A randomized trial of specialist genetic assessment: psychological impact on women at different levels of familial breast cancer risk
The aim was to compare the psychological impact of a multidisciplinary specialist genetics service with surgical provision in women at high risk and those at lower risk of familial breast cancer. Women (n=735) we...

Termination of Bergman series. Connection to the Bn Toda System
Truncation of Bergman-type series applied to a canonical hyperbolic equation is shown to lead to the integrable Bn Toda lattice. In particular, the recurrence relations for the truncated Bergman series are implie...
