Does being motivated to avoid procedural errors influence their systematicity? (2007)

Back, J., Cheng, W., Dann, R., Curzon, P., Blandford, A.

Post-completion error (PCE) is a type of procedural error that occurs even when an individual has the knowledge required to perform the task correctly. After performing a ‘task critical’ step a...

Human-Induced Changes to Biodiversity and Alpine Pastureland in the Bayanbulak Region of the East Tienshan Mountains (2002)

B. Zhang, Y. Yao, W. Cheng, C. Zhou, Z. Lu, X. Chen, ...

The Bayanbulak region, deep in the East Tienshan Mountains, is the southernmost and highest breeding area for swans anywhere in the world. As one of the few biodiversity hotspots in central Asia, it...

Generation of Dense Fogs for Infrared Multiple Scattering Applications. (2002)

Cheng,W., Ebersole,J., Camac,M., Martinez-Sanchez,M., Kallelis,S.

A continuous flow fog chamber was built with the fog generated by a commercially available spray nozzle. The droplet size spectrum produced resembles that natural fog and is 10 to 100 times denser....

Delayed Crack Propagation in a Steel Pressure Vessel Due to Thermal Stresses. (1998)

Finnie, I., Cheng, W., McCorkindale, K. J.

The vessel containing liquid propane, butane, and an aqueous amine solution used to remove hydrogen sulfide from the hydrocarbons was examined; a circumferential crack was first detected by...

Ileoileocolic intussusception in children: diagnosis and significance (1997)

Peh, WCG, Khong, PL, Lam, C, Chan, KL, Saing, H, Cheng, W, ...

The ileoileocolic type of childhood intussusception is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively and is associated with increased morbidity. This study describes the clinical and imaging features of 10...

Treatment of biliary atresia by portoenterostomy and liver transplantation: the Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong experience (1997)

Saing, H, Fan, ST, Chan, KL, Wei, W, Mya, GH, Lo, CM, ...

Ninety three out of 96 patients with biliary atresia (BA) underwent Kasai 1 portoenterostomy and 11 children subsequently underwent 12 liver transplantation (LTX) procedures which included 8 living...

Sonographically guided hydrostatic reduction of childhood intussusception using Hartmann's solution (1996)

Peh, WCG, Khong, PL, Chan, KL, Lam, C, Cheng, W, Lam, WWM, ...

OBJECTIVE: Currently, the standard methods for therapeutic reduction of intussusception in children involve considerable ionizing radiation. This study tested the effectiveness of sonographically...

Overexpression of insulin-like growth factor-1 in the heart is coupled with myocyte proliferation in transgenic mice.

Reiss, K, Cheng, W, Ferber, A, Kajstura, J, Li, P, Li, B, ...

Transgenic mice were generated in which the cDNA for the human insulin-like growth factor 1B (IGF-1B) was placed under the control of a rat alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter. In mice heterozygous for...

Isolation of NAD cycle mutants defective in nicotinamide mononucleotide deamidase in Salmonella typhimurium.

Cheng, W, Roth, J

The NAD or pyridine nucleotide cycle is the sequence of reactions involved in the breakdown of NAD to nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and regeneration of NAD. This cycle is fivefold more active...

Stretch-induced programmed myocyte cell death.

Cheng, W, Li, B, Kajstura, J, Li, P, Wolin, M S, Sonnenblick, E H, ...

To determine the effects of loading on active and passive tensions, programmed cell death, superoxide anion formation, the expression of Fas on myocytes, and side-to-side slippage of myocytes,...

Evidence for two NAD kinases in Salmonella typhimurium.

Cheng, W, Roth, J R

The electron-carrying cofactor NADP is formed by phosphorylation of NAD. A strategy for the isolation of NAD kinase mutants revealed two classes of temperature-sensitive mutations, nadF and nadG,...

Characterization of a soluble ternary complex formed between human interferon-beta-1a and its receptor chains.

Arduini, R. M., Strauch, K. L., Runkel, L. A., Carlson, M. M., Hronowski, X., Foley, S. F., ...

The extracellular portions of the chains that comprise the human type I interferon receptor, IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, have been expressed and purified as recombinant soluble His-tagged proteins, and their...
