[HTML][HTML] Apical membrane antigen 1 mediates apicomplexan parasite attachment but is dispensable for host cell invasion

…, V Lagal, S Thiberge, JA Whitelaw… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Apicomplexan parasites invade host cells by forming a ring-like junction with the cell surface
and actively sliding through the junction inside an intracellular vacuole. Apical membrane …

[HTML][HTML] The toxoplasma Acto-MyoA motor complex is important but not essential for gliding motility and host cell invasion

…, AJ Jackson, JA Whitelaw, G Pall, JA Black… - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Apicomplexan parasites are thought to actively invade the host cell by gliding motility. This
movement is powered by the parasite's own actomyosin system, and depends on the …

Calculation methods for reacting turbulent flows: a review

WP Jones, JH Whitelaw - Combustion and flame, 1982 - Elsevier
… The same numerical scheme was used by Green and Whitelaw and the use of 22 × 16 nodes
led to results which were far from correct due mainly to the inability of this mesh to resolve …

Curved ducts with strong secondary motion: velocity measurements of developing laminar and turbulent flow

A Taylor, JH Whitelaw, M Yianneskis - 1982 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
… The method of data reduction involves resolving these measured frequencies into streamwise
and radial components as described by Melling and Whitelaw [13]. The third component …

Turbulent flow in a square duct with strong curvature

JAC Humphrey, JH Whitelaw, G Yee - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1981 - cambridge.org
The steady, incompressible, isothermal, developing flow in a square-section curved duct
with smooth walls has been investigated. The 40 × 40 mm duct had a radius ratio of 2·3 with …

Flow of non-Newtonian fluids in a pipe

FT Pinho, JH Whitelaw - Journal of non-newtonian fluid mechanics, 1990 - Elsevier
… Yianneskis and JH Whitelaw, An experimental study of the steady and unsteady flow
characteristics of stirred reactors, J. Fluid Mech., 175 (1987) 537. 9 JM Nouri, Single and two-phase …

Principles and practice of laser-Doppler anemometry

F Durst, A Melling, JH Whitelaw - NASA STI/Recon …, 1976 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
This book deals with the measurement of instantaneous velocity by laser Doppler methods.
A historical review of laser Doppler anemometry is given, its relationship to other optical …

[HTML][HTML] Surface attachment, promoted by the actomyosin system of Toxoplasma gondii is important for efficient gliding motility and invasion

JA Whitelaw, F Latorre-Barragan, S Gras, GS Pall… - BMC biology, 2017 - Springer
Background Apicomplexan parasites employ a unique form of movement, termed gliding
motility, in order to invade the host cell. This movement depends on the parasite’s actomyosin …

Laminar flow in a square duct of strong curvature

…, AMK Taylor, JH Whitelaw - Journal of Fluid …, 1977 - cambridge.org
… The inlet contraction to the 1.8m duct and the associated constant-head tank and pipework
were otherwise identical to those of Melling & Whitelaw. Flow-visualization tests were carried …

Fam49/CYRI interacts with Rac1 and locally suppresses protrusions

…, HJ Spence, JA Whitelaw, L Tweedy, J Greaves… - Nature cell …, 2018 - nature.com
Actin-based protrusions are reinforced through positive feedback, but it is unclear what restricts
their size, or limits positive signals when they retract or split. We identify an evolutionarily …
