Professor David Y. Graham: A Brilliant Scientist and a Compassionate Mentor

 There is an enormous number of astounding scientists, who have made their mark in science. Very few of them also serve as a true mentor, ready to provide a helping hand to young researchers, especially those in developing countries, who must constantly struggle to remain optimistic. Professor David Y. Graham is one of these rare characters. He received his undergraduate degree from the U...

Potentially serious side - effects of high - dose twice - weekly rifampicin * GRAHAM POOLE PETER STRADLING

Daily rifampicin in a single dose of 600 mg, combined with other drugs, usually streptomycin and isoniazid, was given to forty-nine patients for 3 months. It was planned to continue for another 15 months with twice-weekly rifampicin 1200 mg plus isoniazid 900 mg, but the high incidence of side effects led to cessation of the intermittent regimen when only two patients had completed 18 months. T...

Indirect and direct effects of fish herbivory on nitrogen cycling in nearshore Lake Tanganyika Student: Brittany Graham Mentor: Peter McInytre

When external loading is small, as it is in Lake Tanganyika, the internal redistribution of nutrients can be important for ecosystem productivity. One conduit for this redistribution is fish. Research has been conducted on the transfer of nutrients into the pelagic or benthic ecosystems by benthic or pelagic fishes, respectively, but less attention has been paid to the recycling of nutrients by...

THE EFFECTS OF CHLORPROMAZINE, DEMETHYLIMIPRAMINE, CINCHOCAINE, NORFENFLURAMINE, MEPYRAMINE AND MAGNESIUM IONS By R. GRAHAM STURTON and DAVID N. BRINDLEY

1. Microsomal membranes from rat liver were incubated with ATP, CoA, Mg2+, [14C]palmitate, Fand sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in order to label them with [14C]phosphatidate. These membranes were isolated and used in a second incubation in which [3H]CTP was present, and the simultaneous synthesis of [14C]diacylglycerol and [3H]CDP-diacylglycerol was measured. 2. The addition of phosphatidate phosphohy...
