Fractional total colourings of graphs of high girth (2009)

Kaiser, Tomas, King, Andrew, Kral, Daniel

Reed conjectured that for every epsilon>0 and Delta there exists g such that the fractional total chromatic number of a graph with maximum degree Delta and girth at least g is at most...

Sequence determinants of innate immune activation by short interfering RNAs (2009)

Goodchild, Amber, Nopper, Nicole, King, Andrew, Doan, Tram, Tanudji, Marcel, Arndt, Greg M, ...

Abstract Background Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have been shown to induce immune stimulation through a number of different receptors in a range of cell types. In primary cells, both TLR7 and TLR8...

Competitive feedback in galaxy formation (2009)

Nayakshin, Sergei, Wilkinson, Mark I., King, Andrew

It is now well established that many galaxies have nuclear star clusters (NCs) whose total masses correlate with the velocity dispersion (sigma) of the galaxy spheroid in a very similar way to the...

Interfering ribonucleic acids that suppress expression of multiple unrelated genes (2009)

Passioura, Toby, Gozar, Mary M, Goodchild, Amber, King, Andrew, Arndt, Greg M, Poidinger, Michael, ...

Abstract Background Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have become the research tool of choice for gene suppression, with human clinical trials ongoing. The emphasis so far in siRNA therapeutics has...

Heating Cluster Gas (2009)

King, Andrew

It is now generally agreed that some process prevents the diffuse gas in galaxy clusters from cooling significantly, although there is less agreement about the nature of this process. I suggest that...

Claw-free graphs and two conjectures on omega, Delta, and chi (2009)

King, Andrew

This thesis concerns the relationship between four graph invariants: omega, chi_f, chi, and Delta. These are the clique number, the fractional chromatic number, the chromatic number, and the maximum...

The Firefighter Problem For Cubic Graphs (2008)

Andrew King, Gary Macgillivray

We show that the firefighter problem is NP-complete for cubic graphs. We also show that given a rooted tree of maximum degree three in which every leaf is the same distance from the root, it is...

The firefighter problem for graphs of maximum degree three, Disc (2008)

Stephen Finbow, Andrew King, Gary Macgillivray, Romeo Rizzi

We consider a dynamic problem introduced by B. Hartnell in 1995 [4]. Let (G, r) be a connected rooted graph (where r ∈ V (G)). At time 0, a fire breaks out at r. At each subsequent time interval,...

A distinct clinical, neuropsychological and radiological phenotype is associated with progranulin gene mutations in a large UK series (2008)

Beck, Jonathan, Rohrer, Jonathan D., Campbell, Tracy, Isaacs, Adrian, Morrison, Karen E., Goodall, Emily F., ...

Mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) are a major cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive, tau-negative inclusions (FTLD-U) but the distinguishing clinical and anatomical...

Forthcoming in the Academy of Management Journal (2007)

Andrew King, Michael Lenox

We are indebted to the many people who have contributed to this project. Alfred Marcus and the three anonymous reviewers provided extremely insightful, detailed, and helpful comments. Myles Shaver...

Faecal incontinence as presentation of an ependymomas of the spinal cord (2007)

Jeyarajah, Santhini, King, Andrew, Papagrigoriadis, Savvas

Abstract Background Spinal tumours and ependymomas in particular are rare causes of cauda equina syndrome that present with faecal incontinence. Case presentation We present a case of a 45 year old...

Cytotoxic G-rich oligodeoxynucleotides: putative protein targets and required sequence motif (2007)

Goodchild, Amber, King, Andrew, Gozar, Mary Margaret, Passioura, Toby, Tucker, Carly, Rivory, Laurent

It has recently been shown that certain oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) designed as catalytic DNA molecules (DNAzymes) exhibit potent cytotoxicity independent of RNA-cleavage activity in a number of...

A vision based investigation into the human behaviour in a computing laboratory / (2007)

King, Andrew.

Final year project -- University of Leeds (School of Computing Studies), 2006/2007.

Bounding χ in terms of ω and ∆ for quasi-line graphs (extended abstract) (2007)

Andrew King, Bruce Reed

Let G be a finite simple graph. Then χ(G) is its chromatic number, ∆(G) is its maximum degree, and ω(G) is its clique number. For any graph G, χ(G) ≥ ω(G). On the other hand, it is easy to...

Gamma--ray Burst Models (2006)

King, Andrew

I consider various possibilities for making gamma--ray bursts, particularly from close binaries. In addition to the much--studied neutron star + neutron star and black hole + neutron star cases...

Inherited prion disease with six octapeptide repeat insertional mutation--molecular analysis of phenotypic heterogeneity (2006)

Mead, Simon, Poulter, Mark, Beck, Jon, Webb, Thomas E. F., Campbell, Tracy A., Linehan, Jacqueline M., ...

By far the largest known kindred with an inherited prion disease caused by a prion protein (PrP) octapeptide repeat insertion mutation originates from southeast England. This extended family shows...

Optimisation of the 10-23 DNAzyme-substrate pairing interactions enhanced RNA cleavage activity at purine-cytosine target sites (2003)

Cairns, Murray J., King, Andrew, Sun, Lun-Quan

The 10–23 RNA cleaving DNAzyme has been shown to cleave any purine–pyrimidine (RY) junction under simulated physiological conditions. In this study, we systematically examine the DNAzymes...

Nucleic acid mutation analysis using catalytic DNA (2000)

Cairns, Murray J., King, Andrew, Sun, Lun-Quan

The sequence specificity of the ‘10–23’ RNA-cleaving DNA enzyme (deoxyribozyme) was utilised to discriminate between subtle differences in nucleic acid sequence in a relatively conserved...

Multiresolution Image Analysis Based On Local Symmetries (1993)

Andrew King, Roland Wilson

This report describes two seemingly distinct areas of work. First, there is the derivation of a new multiresolution image restoration algorithm, and secondly there is the development of a new...

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Optic Chiasm: A Surgical Review

Crocker, Matthew, DeSouza, Ruth, King, Andrew, Connor, Steve, Thomas, Nick

Objectives: To report a new case of cavernous hemangioma of the optic chiasm and to review all previously published cases with regard to presentation, surgical treatment, and outcomes. Design: Case...

Alafuzoff, Irina, Arzberger, Thomas, Al-Sarraj, Safa, Bodi, Istvan, Bogdanovic, Nenad, Braak, Heiko, ...

It has been recognized that molecular classifications will form the basis for neuropathological diagnostic work in the future. Consequently, in order to reach a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD),...
