Abstract:
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are able to identify malignant cells by scanning for aberrant peptides presented on cell surface human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I molecules by virtue of an antigen binding receptor called the T-cell receptor (TCR). Peptides presented by HLA Class I complexes represent the largest array of tumour associated antigens (TAAs) and are therefore ideal targets for immunotherapeutic reagents. Cancer patients frequently mount T-cell responses to tumour-specific antigens, but these are in most cases ineffective at clearing the tumour. This is in part due to the low affinity

Abstract:
This thesis explores the political implications of Gilles Deleuze's two-volume work on the cinema (Cinema 1: The Movement-Image [2005a] and Cinema 2: The Time-Image [2005b]). I argue that counter to the common reading of these works as being primarily concerned with aesthetics and philosophy, Deleuze's cinema books should be understood as a political critique of the operations of cinema. I outline the main arguments set out by these works as a political formulation and argue that they should be directly related to Deleuze's more explicitly political writings. In particular, I argue that these

Abstract:
There has been considerable recent interest in models for epidemics on networks describing social contacts. This thesis considers a stochastic SIR (Susceptible - Infective - Removed) model for the spread of an epidemic among a population of individuals, with a random network of social contacts, that is partitioned into households and in which individuals also make casual contacts, i.e. with people chosen uniformly at random from the population. The behaviour of the model as the population tends to infinity is investigated. A threshold parameter that governs whether or not the epidemic with an

P.aeruginosa is one of the most important pathogens in nosocomial infections and fails to respond to standard treatment, particularly in the case of patients subjected to prolong antibiotic treatment.

Most studies on antibiotic resistance in P.aeruginosa have focused upon genotypic studies. This study set out to develop an in vitro model to examine the effect of continual exposure of P.aeru

Abstract:
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of nosocomial intestinal infection. The pathogen possesses two potent toxins, Toxin A and Toxin B, both of which contribute to diarrhoea, intestinal inflammation and tissue damage. Antibiotics are effective against the disease, however around 20 % of patients on treatment relapse after the termination of antibiotic therapy. The binding of Toxin A to a receptor on human intestinal epithelial cells initiates disease: this is considered the starting point from which the toxin elicits its effect. One feature of the carboxy-terminal domain of Toxin A is the pr

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the torsional-lateral interactions seen in gear coupled rotors. Of particular interest are cases where the torsional stiffness parameters affect the lateral critical speeds and where lateral stiffness and damping parameters affect torsional critical speeds and amplitudes. A common procedure for critical speed calculations has been to solve lateral and torsional systems separately. This procedure is tested through an eigenvalue analysis. It is shown in this thesis, however, that torsional-lateral interactions play major roles in each other's critical speeds. Some research

However, Goslin (2003:39) mentions that little research on recreation management and education has been done in South Africa, which highlights the increasing need for knowledge to establish and maintain future management practices (Goslin, 2003:40).

Two microalgae species (Isochrysis galbana and Tetraselmis suecica) were used, to test gut fullness and gut evacuation of P. hessei. The copepods were starved for 6 h and allowed to feed on monalgae diets, I .galbana and T. suecica, and a 1:1 binary diet mixture of T. suecica and I. galbana.

La explosión demográfica, la crisis del agro en la sierra, la búsqueda de mejores oportunidades de trabajo, estudio; entre otros factores, fueron las causas que impulsaron las primeras grandes oleadas de migrantes provincianos a las principales ciudades del Perú, y en mayor medida Lima, entonces, la ciudad capital se convirtió en el gran imán que atrajo a poblaciones de los distintos departamentos (hoy regiones). La instalación de los migrantes no fue sencilla, pues tuvieron que lidiar con la marginación social, el racismo, la falta de oportunidades laborales y la carencia de una vivienda adec

Abstract:
Une nouvelle methode pour le depouillement des etalonnages des sondes thermo-anemometriques a fil et film chauds, est employee pour les mesures simultanees de vitesses et de densite dans un ecoulement turbulent. La methode est fondee sur une application specifique des reseaux de neurones. Il s'agit de reseaux du type perceptron multicouches ayant pour regle d'apprentissage, l'algorithme de la retropogation d'erreur. Cette methode auto-adaptative a ete appliquee aux etalonnages de deux types de sonde. Elle donne une meilleure precision sur la reduction des etalonnages que les methodes classique

Abstract:
Fogwater Harvesting has been demonstrated to be able to provide water for small rural communities in arid and semi-arid regions. Fog droplets coalesce on mesh screens and flow by gravity into a supply network. The technology is simple and can be maintained and managed by the users. The challenge is identifying suitable communities, environmental conditions and ensuring the system meets user demand sustainably. Following the First International Conference on Fog and Fog Collection (19-24 July 1998), a general project cycle for fogwater harvesting for domestic water supply is proposed and discus
