Numerical modelling and data assimilation of the Larsen B ice shelf, Antarctic Peninsula. (2006)

Vieli, A., Payne, A. J., Du, Z., Shepherd, A.

In this study, the flow and rheology of pre-collapse Larsen B ice shelf are investigated by using a combination of flow modelling and data assimilation. Observed shelf velocities from satellite...

A computer modelling study of the uptake, structure and distribution of carbonate defects in hydroxy-apatite (2006)

Peroos, S., Du, Z., De Leeuw, N.H.

Computer modelling techniques have been employed to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the uptake and distribution of carbonate groups in the hydroxyapatite lattice. Two substitutional...

Evidence from P-to-S mantle converted waves for a flat '660-km' discontinuity beneath Iceland. (2006)

Du, Z., Vinnik, L. P., Foulger, G. R.

Iceland is the type example of a ridge-centered hotspot. It is controversial whether the seismic anomaly beneath it originates in the lower mantle or the upper mantle. Some recent studies reported...

A Virtual research organization enabled by eMinerals minigrid: an integrated study of the transport and immobilization of arsenic species in the enviornment (2006)

Du, Z, Alexandrov, VN, Alfredsson, M, Artacho, E, Austen, KF, Bennett, ND, ...

We have carried out a comprehensive computational study of the structures and properties of a series of iron-bearing minerals under various conditions using grid technologies developed within the...

Computational Grids for Mid-Sized Collaborative Projects: The eMinerals Experience (2006)

Dove, MT, White, TOH, Walker, AM, Bruin, RP, Austen, KF, Artacho, E, ...

Grid Computing has the potential to revolutionise how small groups of simulation scientists work together to tackle new science problems. In this paper we report how the eMinerals project has...

Computer modeling study of the effect of hydration on the stability of a silica nanotube (2003)

De Leeuw, N.H., Du, Z., Li, J., Yip, S., Zhu, T.

Computer modeling techniques, which were employed to investigate the effect of water on the reactivity and stability of a SiO2 nanotube, show that the side of the nanotube is relatively resistant to...

The 'zero charge' partitioning behaviour of noble gases during mantle melting (2003)

Brooker, R.A., Du, Z., Blundy, J.D., Kelley, S.P., Allan, N.L., Wood, B.J., ...

Noble-gas geochemistry is an important tool for understanding planetary processes from accretion to mantle dynamics and atmospheric formation(1-4). Central to much of the modelling of such processes...

An NMR and mutational study of the pseudoknot within the gene 32 mRNA of bacteriophage T2: insights into a family of structurally related RNA pseudoknots.

Du, Z, Hoffman, D W

NMR methods were used to investigate a series of mutants of the pseudoknot within the gene 32 messenger RNA of bacteriophage T2, for the purpose of investigating the range of sequences, stem and loop...

Requirements for lymphocyte activation by unusual strains of simian immunodeficiency virus.

Du, Z, Ilyinskii, P O, Sasseville, V G, Newstein, M, Lackner, A A, Desrosiers, R C

When residues 17 and 18 in nef of simian immunodeficiency virus strain SIVmac239 were changed from RQ to YE, the resultant virus was able to replicate in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures...

A role for natural simian immunodeficiency virus and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nef alleles in lymphocyte activation.

Alexander, L, Du, Z, Rosenzweig, M, Jung, J U, Desrosiers, R C

A T-lymphoid cell line termed 221 was derived from a rhesus monkey infected with herpesvirus saimiri. Growth of 221 cells was dependent on the addition of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to the culture medium....

A mutation in integrase can compensate for mutations in the simian immunodeficiency virus att site.

Du, Z, Ilyinskii, P O, Lally, K, Desrosiers, R C, Engelman, A

Sequences at the left terminus of U3 in the left long terminal repeat (LTR) and at the right terminus of U5 in the right LTR are important for integration of retroviral DNA. In the infectious...

An examination of coaxial stacking of helical stems in a pseudoknot motif: the gene 32 messenger RNA pseudoknot of bacteriophage T2.

Holland, J A, Hansen, M R, Du, Z, Hoffman, D W

The RNA pseudoknot located at the 5' end of the gene 32 messenger RNA of bacteriophage T2 contains two A-form helical stems connected by two loops, in an H-type pseudoknot topology. A combination of...
