Impact of increased flow rate on specific growth rate of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus, Rafinesque 1810) (2009)

Schram, E., Verdegem, M.C.J., Kloet, C.J., Foss, A.

The effect of flow rate on growth was investigated in juvenile turbot. Fish with a mean (SD) initial weight of 102 (10.4) g were reared at 6 different flow rates, equaling 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 tank...

Effects of chronic and periodic exposure to ammonia on growth and blood physiology in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) (2009)

Foss, A., Imsland, A.K., Roth, B., Schram, E., Stefansson, S.O.

Juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were exposed periodically and chronically to different levels of un-ionised ammonia (UIA-N) and the subsequent effect on growth and food conversion efficiency...

SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX REACTOR BEHAVIOR- A CASE STUDY. (2008)

Berit Floor, Lund Bjarne, A. Foss, Kjell Ragnar, Lovasen Birger, Erik Ydstie, ...

Abstract: The paper examines the nonlinear behaviour between carbon coverage (input) and silicon production (output) in a submerged arc silicon furnace. A silicon furnace is a highly endothermic...

Commercial-scale validation of temperature-step rearing on growth physiology in turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (2008)

Imsland, A.K., Gunnarsson, S., Asgeirsson, A., Roth, B., Schram, E., Foss, A.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible benefit of "temperature-steps" (T-steps) rearing for juvenile turbot (initial weight 15.1 g) under realistic production scale and to determine...

Interactive effects of oxygen saturation and ammonia on growth and blood physiology in juvenile turbot (2007)

Foss, A., Imsland, A.K., Roth, B., Schram, E., Stefansson, S.O.

The effects of dissolved oxygen concentration combined with sublethal doses of un-ionised ammonia nitrogen (UIA-N) on growth and physiology were investigated in juvenile turbot. Fish with a mean ±...

Exsanguination of turbot and the effect on fillet quality measured mechanically by sensory evaluation, and with computer vision (2007)

Roth, B., Stien, L.H., Foss, A., Nortvedt, R., Imsland, A.

In order to investigate the impact of blood residues on the end quality of exsanguinated and unbled farmed turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), meat quality was evaluated using mechanical, sensory, and...

Reassessment of the PAS patterns in uveal melanoma

Foss, A., Alexander, R., Hungerford, J., Harris, A., Cree, I., Lightman, S.

BACKGROUND—Previous work has highlighted the prognostic importance of patterns of periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining (the Folberg patterns) in uveal melanoma. These patterns have been ascribed to...

Predictive factors for the development of rubeosis following proton beam radiotherapy for uveal melanoma

Foss, A., Whelehan, I., Hungerford, J., Anderson, D., Errington, R, Kacperek, A., ...

AIMS/BACKGROUND—Proton beam radiotherapy can effectively treat primary uveal melanomas of any size. Some patients, however, develop adverse late effects following treatment and the purpose of this...

Does raised intraocular pressure begin in utero?

Foss, A, Rauf, A, Sayer, A, Evans, J, Cooper, C, Wormald, R, ...

AIM—To determine whether fetal and infant growth, as assessed by weight at birth and weight at 1 year, are related to intraocular pressure.
METHODS—717 men and women born in Hertfordshire...

Effects of single, short term exposures of human retinal pigment epithelial cells to thiotepa or 5-fluorouracil: implications for the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy

Kon, C. H., Occleston, N. L., Foss, A., Sheridan, C., Aylward, G. W., Khaw, P. T.

AIM—To investigate the effects of single, short term (5 or 30 minutes) exposures to thiotepa or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on collagen lattice contraction and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell...

Axon deviation in the human lamina cribrosa

Morgan, J., Jeffery, G., Foss, A.

AIMS—To examine the course taken by individual retinal ganglion cell axons through the human lamina cribrosa.
METHODS—Retinal ganglion cell axons were labelled using the retrograde tracer...

c-myc, p53, and Bcl-2 expression and clinical outcome in uveal melanoma

Chana, J, Wilson, G, Cree, I, Alexander, R, Myatt, N, Neale, M, ...

AIMS—Overexpression of c-myc protein has independent prognostic significance in a variety of primary and metastatic cutaneous melanomas which suggests a possible role for this gene in...

Modelling uveal melanoma

Foss, A., Cree, I., Dolin, P., Hungerford, J.

BACKGROUND/AIM—There has been no consistent pattern reported on how mortality for uveal melanoma varies with age. This information can be useful to model the complexity of the disease. The authors...

Development and validation of a patient based measure of outcome in ocular melanoma

Foss, A., Lamping, D., Schroter, S., Hungerford, J.

BACKGROUND—Patients with uveal melanoma can be treated by a number of modalities. As none of the different treatments offer a survival advantage, a key factor in choosing among treatments is their...

Views of older people on cataract surgery options: an assessment of preferences by conjoint analysis

Ross, M, Avery, A, Foss, A

Background: Key issues in the quality of care for people with cataracts in the UK include hospital waiting lists, complication rates from surgery, and the use of junior surgeons. The main objective...
