Galaxy number counts — V. Ultradeep counts: the Herschel and Hubble Deep Fields
- N. Metcalfe, T. Shanks, A. Campos, H. Mccracken, R. Fong
- Physics
- 7 October 2000
We present u,b,r & i galaxy number counts and colours both from the North and South Hubble Space Telescope Deep Fields and from the William Herschel Deep Field. The latter comprises a 7 ' × 7 ' area… Expand
Galaxy formation at high redshifts
- N. Metcalfe, T. Shanks, A. Campos, R. Fong, J. Gardner
- Physics
- Nature
- 18 September 1996
SENSITIVE optical surveys have revealed1 a large population of 'faint blue galaxies', which are believed to be young galaxies observed close to their time of formation2. But there has been… Expand
The local hole in the galaxy distribution: new optical evidence
- G. Busswell, T. Shanks, P. Outram, W. Frith, N. Metcalfe, R. Fong
- Physics
- 17 February 2003
We present a new CCD survey of bright galaxies predominantly within the Northern and Southern strips of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) areas. We use the new CCD data to check the… Expand
Streptophyte algae and the origin of land plants revisited using heterogeneous models with three new algal chloroplast genomes.
- Bojian Zhong, Zhenxiang Xi, +5 authors D. Penny
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 2014
The phylogenetic branching order of the green algal groups that gave rise to land plants remains uncertain despite its fundamental importance to understanding plant evolution. Previous studies have… Expand
Two New Fern Chloroplasts and Decelerated Evolution Linked to the Long Generation Time in Tree Ferns
- Bojian Zhong, R. Fong, L. Collins, P. McLenachan, D. Penny
- Medicine, Biology
- Genome biology and evolution
- 30 April 2014
We report the chloroplast genomes of a tree fern (Dicksonia squarrosa) and a “fern ally” (Tmesipteris elongata), and show that the phylogeny of early land plants is basically as expected, and the… Expand
The local hole in the galaxy distribution: evidence from 2MASS
- W. Frith, G. Busswell, R. Fong, N. Metcalfe, T. Shanks
- Physics
- 17 February 2003
Using the bright galaxy counts from the 2 Micron All-sky Survey (2MASS) second incremental release, two techniques for probing large-scale structure at distances of ∼150 h−1 Mpc are investigated.… Expand
An H-band survey of the Herschel Deep Field
- N. Metcalfe, T. Shanks, P. Weilbacher, H. Mccracken, R. Fong, D. Thompson
- Physics
- 19 September 2005
We present H-band infra-red galaxy data to a 3 sigma limit of H=22.9 and optical-infra-red colours of galaxies on the William Herschel Deep Field. These data were taken from a 7'x 7' area observed… Expand
Computational and Biochemical Analysis of the Xanthomonas Effector AvrBs2 and Its Role in the Modulation of Xanthomonas Type Three Effector Delivery
- B. Zhao, D. Dahlbeck, K. Krasileva, R. Fong, B. Staskawicz
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 December 2011
Effectors of the bacterial type III secretion system provide invaluable molecular probes to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of plant immunity and pathogen virulence. In this report, we focus on… Expand
A combined dye exclusion (trypan blue) and fluorochromatic technique for the microdroplet lymphocytotoxicity test.
- R. Fong, F. Kissmeyer-Nielsen
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Tissue antigens
- 9 October 2008
A combined dye exclusion (Trypan Blue) and fluorochromatic technique for lymphocytotoxicity test is described. The technique allows the test to be read either as a dye exclusion or a fluorochromatic… Expand
Steroid interference in iron-cholesterol reactions: A comparative study
- A. C. Parekh, C. Sims, R. Fong, M. Caranto, D. H. Jung
- Chemistry, Medicine
