Sensitive Measurement of Photon Lifetime and True Reflectances in an Optical Cavity by a Phase Shift Method. (2002)

Herbelin,J. M., McKay,J. A., Kwok,M. A., Ueunten,R. H., Urevig,D. S.

A simplified method for measuring the effective photon lifetime in an optical resonator was developed. The technique requires the passage of a modulated continuous-wave laser beam through the...

Survey of Laser-Produced Pressure and Impulse Data. (1998)

McKay, J. A., Laufer, P. M.

The objective of the present work is the collection of all laser generation pressure and impulse data of good quality, and the display of those data in a single format. It should now be possible not...

Development of Laser Mirrors of Very High Reflectivity Using the Cavity-Attenuated Phase-Shift (CAPS) Method (1998)

Herbelin, J. M., Mckay, J. A.

It has been possible to obtain mirrors of very high reflectivity by following the simple four-step procedure described herein. The key to success is the ability to measure the scattering and other...

Cytochrome P450 expression in oesophageal cancer.

Murray, G I, Shaw, D, Weaver, R J, McKay, J A, Ewen, S W, Melvin, W T, ...

The cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes play a central part in the metabolism of carcinogens and anti-cancer drugs. The expression, cellular localisation, and distribution of different forms of...

Xenobiotic metabolising enzyme expression in colonic neoplasia.

McKay, J A, Murray, G I, Weaver, R J, Ewen, S W, Melvin, W T, Burke, M D

The cytochrome P450, epoxide hydrolase, and glutathione S-transferase enzyme families play an important part in the metabolism of many carcinogens and anti-cancer drugs. The expression of two forms...

Matrix metalloproteinase 13 activity is associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer

Leeman, M F, McKay, J A, Murray, G I

Aims: The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes collectively capable of degrading all extracellular matrix components, in particular fibrillar collagen. The importance...

Bioinformatic interrogation of expression array data to identify nutritionally regulated genes potentially modulated by DNA methylation

McKay, J. A., Adriaens, M. E., Ford, D., Relton, C. L., Evelo, C. T. A., Mathers, J. C.

DNA methylation occurs at CpG dinucleotide sites within the genome and is recognised as one of the mechanisms involved in regulation of gene expression. CpG sites are relatively underrepresented in...

Colorectal cancer genomics: evidence for multiple genotypes which influence survival

Rooney, P H, Boonsong, A, McKay, J A, Marsh, S, Stevenson, D A J, Murray, G I, ...
