Tall building collapse mechanisms initiated by fire (2006)

Usmani, Asif, Roben, Charlotte, Johnston, Louise, Flint, Graeme

This paper introduces the hypothesis of two possible failure mechanisms for tall buildings in multiple floor fires. This paper extends the previous work done on the WTC towers by investigating more...

Activation of the cGMP/PKG pathway inhibits electrical activity in rabbit urethral interstitial cells of Cajal by reducing the spatial spread of Ca2+ waves

Sergeant, G P, Johnston, Louise, McHale, N G, Thornbury, K D, Hollywood, M A

In the present study we used a combination of patch clamping and fast confocal Ca2+ imaging to examine the effects of activators of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway on pacemaker activity in freshly...

Role of basal extracellular Ca2+ entry during 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction of canine pulmonary arteries

Wilson, Sean M, Mason, Helen S, Ng, Lih C, Montague, Stephen, Johnston, Louise, Nicholson, Neil, ...

Measurements of artery contraction, cytosolic [Ca2+], and Ca2+ permeability were made to examine contractile and cytosolic [Ca2+] responses of canine pulmonary arteries and isolated cells to...

Comparative capacitative calcium entry mechanisms in canine pulmonary and renal arterial smooth muscle cells

Wilson, Sean M, Mason, Helen S, Smith, Gregory D, Nicholson, Neil, Johnston, Louise, Janiak, Robert, ...

Experiments were performed to determine whether capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) can be activated in canine pulmonary and renal arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) and whether activation of CCE...

Cholinergic-induced Ca2+ signaling in interstitial cells of Cajal from the guinea pig bladder

Johnston, Louise, Carson, Chris, Lyons, Alan D., Davidson, Ross A., McCloskey, Karen D.

Acetylcholine released from parasympathetic excitatory nerves activates contraction in detrusor smooth muscle. Immunohistochemical labeling of guinea pig detrusor with anti-c-Kit and anti-VAChT...
