  • Myelin basic protein peptide 45–89 induces the release of nitric oxide from microglial cells. 
    Shanshiashvili, L.; Pichkhadze, B.; Machaidze, G.; Ramsden, Jeremy J.; Mikeladze, D. (Jointly by, Collegium Basilea (Institute of Advanced Study) and Association of Modern Scientific Investigation., 2002-06)
    Continuous (24 h) exposure of mixed oligodendrocyte/microglial cells to peptides 45–89 derived from citrullinated C8 isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) induces cell death. In contrast, MBP-C8 at the same molecular ...
  • Nano-assembled thin film gas sensors. 1. Ammonia detection by a porphyrin-based multilayer film. 
    Korposh, Serhiy O.; Takahara, Naoki; Ramsden, Jeremy J.; Lee, Seung-Woo; Kunitake, Toyoki (Association of Modern Scientific Investigation, 2006-09)
    A thin film of porphyrin deposited by the layer-by-layer method is employed as the active element for an optical sensor. The usefulness of this film technology and the resulting nanoscale matrix for the detection of ...
  • A novel concept for the manufacture of individual sapphire-metallic hip joint endoprostheses. 
    Mamalis, A. G.; Ramsden, Jeremy J.; Grabchenko, A. I.; Lytvynov, L. A.; Filipenko, V. A.; Lavrynenko, S. N. (Jointly by, Collegium Basilea (Institute of Advanced Study) and Association of Modern Scientific Investigation., 2006-09)
    At the present time, artificial joints made with metallic, ceramic, metal-polymeric or ceramicpolymeric friction pairs substituting for the natural biomechanic articulations "head of the hip joint-acetabulum" are widely ...
  • On adsorption-induced denaturation of folded proteins. 
    Fernández, Ariel; Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Jointly by, Collegium Basilea (Institute of Advanced Study) and Association of Modern Scientific Investigation., 2001-12)
    In the absence of intramolecular long range interactions, the extended local conformation of a peptide chain is entropically favoured over compact ones, since the area of the Ramachandran basin of attraction is larger ...

  • The potential contribution of nanotechnology to nutritional well being. 
    Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Jointly by, Collegium Basilea (Institute of Advanced Study) and Association of Modern Scientific Investigation., 2008-06)
    Hunters and gatherers—our ancestors until about 10 000 years ago—presumably invariably ate fresh food. Given that degradation sets in within seconds of an animal being killed or a fruit or vegetable being plucked, this ...
  • Professionalism in science 
    Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Collegium Basilea & AMSI, 2009)
    In everyday speech, the word “professional” has an ambiguous ring, applied to one who follows, by way of profession, what is ordinarily regarded as a pastime (e.g., a sport), or disparagingly applied to one who “makes ...
  • Protein adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces 
    Aggarwal, Nitesh; Lawson, K. J.; Kershaw, Matthew; Horvath, R.; Ramsden, Jeremy J. (American Institute of Physics, 2009)
    The adsorption of the protein bovine serum albumin from an aqueous solution onto substrata made from pure silica, pure zirconia, and a mixture of the two has revealed that the adsorption behavior of the protein onto the ...
  • Protests against student fees 
    Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Association of Modern Scientific Investigation, 2010-12-30)
  • Quantification of the number of adsorbed bacteria on an optical waveguide 
    Yeh, Yun-Peng; Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Association of Modern Scientific Investigation, 2010-06-30)
    A simple method is presented for determining the number of bacteria adsorbed on a planar optical waveguide from measurements of a single effective refractive index. It requires only knowledge of the shape and mean size ...
  • The regulation of scientific work 
    Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Collegium Basilea & AMSI, 2009)
    Government research councils, national science foundations and the like have become ubiquitous. The first one seems to have been the US National Science Foundation (NSF), created in 1950; the similarly named organization ...
  • Research sponsorship

  • The rôle of biology, physics and chemistry in human health. 
    Ramsden, Jeremy J. (Jointly by, Collegium Basilea (Institute of Advanced Study) and Association of Modern Scientific Investigation., 2007)
    Health is a perennially dominant preoccupation of man, and must have been so since the earliest days of his existence. One of the most ancient ritualized statements is “To your good health!”, the literal equivalent of ...
