Structural features distinguishing infectious ex vivo mammalian prions from non-infectious fibrillar assemblies generated in vitro by Terry, Cassandra, Harniman, Robert L., Sells, Jessica, Wenborn, Adam, Joiner, Susan, Saibil, Helen R., Miles, Mervyn J., Collinge, John, Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F.

“…Seeded polymerisation of proteins forming amyloid fibres and their spread in tissues has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple neurodegenerative diseases: so called "prion-like" mechanisms. While ex vivo mammalian prions, composed of multichain assemblies of misfolded host-encoded prion protein (PrP), act as lethal infectious agents, PrP amyloid fibrils produced in vitro generally do not. …”

Kelvin waves in a shoaling shallow sea by Jesuthasan, Vasthiampillai Joseph

“…Finally the problem of a Kelvin wave propagation over a step is generalized by assurning a sloping sea bed instead and treating the problem as two semi-infinite channels connected by a slope-like bottom topography. A technique is proposed to solve this system for the simplest configuration but in principle the technique should be extendable to deal with a more general situation.…”
