Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of DNA from exfoliative cytology specimens and its suitability for analysis by the polymerase chain reaction.
David A. Jackson,J. Payne,Sandra M. Bell,F A Lewis,Graham R. Taylor,K. R. Peel,J. Sutton,Philip Quirke +7 more
TL;DR: The extraction of DNA from archival exfoliative cytology samples would allow the molecular biological analysis of this readily available material using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

The maize heterotrimeric G-protein β subunit controls shoot meristem development and immune responses
Qingyu Wu,Fang Xu,Fang Xu,Lei Liu,Si Nian Char,Yezhang Ding,Eric A. Schmelz,Bing Yang,Bing Yang,David A. Jackson +9 more
TL;DR: This work shows that the maize G protein β subunit regulates both meristem development and immune signaling, and suggests that manipulation of this gene has the potential to optimize the tradeoff between yield and disease resistance to improve crop yields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined ultrasound and temperature sensor using a fibre Bragg grating
Mark Hathaway,Norman E. Fisher,David J. Webb,Christopher N. Pannell,David A. Jackson,Leonid R. Gavrilov,Jeffrey Hand,Lin Zhang,Ian Bennion +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of using in-fibre Bragg gratings to measure MHz acoustic fields and temperature simultaneously, achieving a noise-limited pressure resolution of 4.5×10-4 Atm/vHz and a temperature resolution of 0.2°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light scattering in plastic crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a depolarized Rayleigh spectra was found consistent with Raman and NMR spin relaxation time measurements, but intermolecular contributions producing depolarised Rayleigh light were also found to be important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the sensitivity of a Faraday current sensor by varying its operating point
TL;DR: By varying the cross polarization angle between the input and output polarizer of a bulk glass rod sensor that utilizes the Faraday effect to measure currents, the authors showed both experimentally and theoretically that the signal-to-optical-noise ratio can potentially be considerably improved.
