Building a geochemical view of microbial salt tolerance : halophilic adaptation of Marinococcus in a natural magnesium sulfate brine
(2018-04-16) - Journal articleCurrent knowledge of life in hypersaline habitats is mostly limited to sodium and chloride-dominated environments. This narrow compositional window does not reflect the diversity of brine environments that exist naturally ... -
Building careers, managing capitals
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06) - ThesisI sought to find out whether this was a tension between artistic and commercial in the career of visual artists, and if so, how this tension was managed. In attempting to uncover information which could address the ... -
Building complex systems based on simple molecular architectures
(University of St Andrews, 2011-11-30) - ThesisOver the past twenty years molecules capable of templating their own synthesis, so called self–replicating molecules have gained prominence in the literature. We show herein that mixing the reagents for replicating molecules ... -
Building global capacity for conducting operational research using the SORT IT model: where and who?
(2016-08-09) - Journal articleSetting. Research capacity is weakest in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where operational research is highly relevant and needed. Structured Operational Research and Training Initiative (SORT IT) courses have been ... -

Building trust in a postconflict society : an integrative model of cross-group friendship and intergroup emotions
(2016-09) - Journal articleAcross one longitudinal and two cross-sectional surveys in Northern Ireland, we tested a model of intergroup relations in which out-group attitudes and behavioral tendencies are predicted by cross-group friendship and ... -
Bulk AlInAs on InP(111) as a novel material system for pure single photon emission
(2016-10-03) - Journal articleIn this letter, we report on quantum light emission from bulk AlInAs grown on InP(111) substrates. We observe indium rich clusters in the bulk Al0:48In0:52As (AlInAs), resulting in quantum dot-like energetic traps for ... -

(2016-08-02) - Journal articleBunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototype of the Orthobunyavirus genus and Bunyaviridae family that contains important human and animal pathogens. The cleavage mechanism of orthobunyavirus glycoprotein precursor (GPC) and ... -
Bunyaviruses and the type I interferon system
(2009-11-23) - Journal articleThe family Bunyaviridae contains more than 350 viruses that are distributed throughout the world. Most members of the family are transmitted by arthopods, and several cause disease in man, domesticated animals and crop ... -
Burkholderia cepacia complex and limited cutaneous vasculitis in patients with cystic fibrosis : a case series
(2017-04-03) - Journal articleThere is a high association of reactive skin presentations, mainly limited cutaneous vasculitis in patients with cystic fibrosis and Burkholderia cepcia complex chronic infection. This may be due to raised levels of ... -
Burkholderia pseudomallei genome plasticity associated with genomic island variation
(2008-04-25) - Journal articleBackground: Burkholderia pseudomallei is a soil-dwelling saprophyte and the cause of melioidosis. Horizontal gene transfer contributes to the genetic diversity of this pathogen and may be an important determinant of virulence ... -
Burkholderia pseudomallei sequencing identifies genomic clades with distinct recombination, accessory, and epigenetic profiles
(2015-01) - Journal articleBurkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) is the causative agent of the infectious disease melioidosis. To investigate population diversity, recombination, and horizontal gene transfer in closely related Bp isolates, we performed ... -
