Middleware Support for Non-repudiable Transactional Information Sharing between Enterprises (2003)
N. Cook, S. Shrivastava, S.M. Wheater
Enterprises increasingly use the Internet to offer their own services and to utilise the services of others. An extension of this trend is Internet-based collaboration between enterprises to form...
Distributed Object Middleware to Support Dependable Information Sharing between Organisations (2001)
N. Cook, S. Shrivastava, S.M. Wheater
Organisations increasingly use the Internet to offer their own services and to utilise the services of others. This naturally leads to information sharing across organisational boundaries. However...
Repair and evolution of nef in vivo modulates simian immunodeficiency virus virulence.
Whatmore, A M, Cook, N, Hall, G A, Sharpe, S, Rud, E W, Cranage, M P
Experimental evidence from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) model of AIDS has shown that the nef gene is critical in the pathogenesis of AIDS. Consequently, nef is of considerable interest in...
Lübeck, P. S., Cook, N., Wagner, M., Fach, P., Hoorfar, J.
As part of a European research project, the performance of a PCR assay to detect food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters (Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari) was evaluated through an...

We have prepared a population of bone marrow cells that is highly enriched in neutrophil/macrophage progenitor cells (GM-CFC). Four distinct haemopoietic growth factors can stimulate the formation of...
Josefsen, M. H., Cook, N., D'Agostino, M., Hansen, F., Wagner, M., Demnerova, K., ...
A PCR-based method for rapid detection of food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters was evaluated through a collaborative trial with 12 laboratories testing spiked carcass rinse samples. The method...
Capnocytophaga ochracea infection: two cases and a review of the published work.
Hawkey, P M, Malnick, H, Glover, S A, Cook, N, Watts, J A
Bacteria of the genus Capnocytophaga are recently recognised pathogens which may cause oral disease and subsequent septicaemia in the immunocompromised host. We present two cases of infection caused...
DNA Extraction and PCR Methods for the Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in Cold-Smoked Salmon
Simon, M. C., Gray, D. I., Cook, N.
Protocols for the specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes in cold-smoked salmon were developed. PCR was used as the method of detection. Inhibitors of PCR present in the food samples were...
