The contribution of species richness and composition to bacterial services

T Bell, JA Newman, BW Silverman, SL Turner, AK Lilley - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
Bacterial communities provide important services. They break down pollutants, municipal
waste and ingested food, and they are the primary means by which organic matter is recycled …

[PDF][PDF] Competition, not cooperation, dominates interactions among culturable microbial species

KR Foster, T Bell - Current biology, 2012 - cell.com
Microbial cells secrete numerous enzymes, scavenging molecules, and signals that can
promote the growth and survival of other cells around them [1–4]. This observation is consistent …

[HTML][HTML] Species interactions alter evolutionary responses to a novel environment

…, V Behrends, JG Bundy, AB Phillimore, T Bell… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Studies of evolutionary responses to novel environments typically consider single species
or perhaps pairs of interacting species. However, all organisms co-occur with many other …

Alveolar macrophages: plasticity in a tissue-specific context

T Hussell, TJ Bell - Nature reviews immunology, 2014 - nature.com
Alveolar macrophages exist in a unique microenvironment and, despite historical evidence
showing that they are in close contact with the respiratory epithelium, have until recently …

The bacterial biogeography of British soils

…, BC Thomson, P James, T Bell… - Environmental …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Despite recognition of the importance of soil bacteria to terrestrial ecosystem functioning there
is little consensus on the factors regulating belowground biodiversity. Here we present a …

[HTML][HTML] The albedo of fractal stratocumulus clouds

…, W Ridgway, WJ Wiscombe, TL Bell… - Journal of the …, 1994 - journals.ametsoc.org
An increase in the planetary albedo of the earth-atmosphere system by only 10% can

[PDF][PDF] Software requirements: Are they really a problem?

TE Bell, TA Thayer - … of the 2nd international conference on …, 1976 - mosaicprojects.com.au
Do requirements arise naturally from an obvious need, or do they come about only through
diligent effort--and even then contain problems? Data on two very different types of software …

Supramolecular optical chemosensors for organic analytes

TW Bell, NM Hext - Chemical Society Reviews, 2004 - pubs.rsc.org
Supramolecular optical chemosensors are abiotic molecular devices that bind analytes by
noncovalent interactions, producing a change in light absorption or fluorescence. This review …

On the normal modes of free vibration of inhomogeneous and anisotropic elastic objects

WM Visscher, A Migliori, TM Bell… - The Journal of the …, 1991 - pubs.aip.org
The Hamilton’s principle approach to the calculation of vibrational modes of elastic objects
with free boundaries is exploited to compute the resonance frequencies of a variety of …
