Abstract:
Historically nitric oxide (NO) was viewed as playing a purely paracrine role in the vasculature, acting within the vicinity of its release. Today an endocrine role of NO metabolites is widely accepted, although the species accounting for the vascular regulatory function still remains in contention. The original aim of this thesis was to analyse the two main NO metabolite hypotheses (i.e., SNO-Hb and nitrite hypotheses) to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their potential significance in the human circulation. Initially this involved developing methods capable of measuring baseline

Abstract:
There is a growing debate on the theoretical basis, how it could be conceptualised, as well as the utility and meaning of regional competitiveness. This is associated with various attempts to measure regional competitiveness with the help of composite indices for coming-up with league tables. However the measurement of regional performance has run ahead of the academic debate, such indices receive a lot of media attention, and in some cases are even used by policy-makers to support their arguments. It is therefore instructive to look at such indices in more detail to evaluate their utility fro

Abstract:
The mitigation and control of impurities, or non-fuel ions, in tokamak plasmas is vital for reducing energy losses and an understanding of impurity transport is required in order to predict the performance of present and future tokamak devices. The development and application of a full orbit, test particle code to the study of the collisional transport of test impurity ions in spherical tokamak plasmas is presented. This code is tested against the standard analytic description of collisional transport in magnetised plasmas and is demonstrated to be particularly suited to the study of the tight

Abstract:
Bone grafts fill skeletal defects and provide a structure upon which new bone can be deposited. There is no standard method of storing bone prior to grafting, the three main storage regimes being stored fresh frozen at -80°C, gamma irradiated or freeze dried. The initial aim of this project was to determine how osteoblastic cells behaved when exposed to bone treated in the above ways. It was found that sterilisation of bone with gamma irradiation caused cell death in a number of the cells that came into contact with it. Therefore the use of gamma irradiation for grafting is contraindicated, a

Inhibition of deoxyuridine triphosphate dUTPase, a ubiquitous enzyme and 'first line' of defence against misincorporation of uracil into DNA, is lethal in E. coll, S. cerevisiae and is also probably in a variety of other organisms including, Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria. dUTPase is a potential chemotherapeutic target. An assortment of molecular modelling tools was used to take advantage of the available structural information to identify differences between the human and protozoan dUTPase enzymes.

Self pulsed quantum dot lasers are proposed as a means to generate broadband emission in the 1050 nm region for optical coherence tomography applications. Existing quantum dot materials which are not intentionally designed for broad band emission are examined. Devices for self pulsation are configured with sr. it contacts. When operated without a saturable absorber the laser emits a number of discrete narrow (1 nm) modes, which merge to form a broad continuous lasing spectrum (10 nm) on application of the saturable absorber.

Abstract:
Teladorsagia circumcincta is a common abomasal parasite of sheep in temperate regions and is one of the major causes of parasitic gastroenteritis (PGE) in growing lambs. Control of infection is achieved using anthelmintic drugs; however, this practice is rapidly becoming unsustainable due to widespread anthelmintic resistance within the T. circumcincta population. Sheep can acquire protective immunity against this parasite; immunity involves local and systemic antibodies and immune cells which can impair worm growth and fecundity and lead to expulsion of the parasites from the abomasum.

This phenomenon is harnessed in an assay which measures these induced calcium transients, allowing for quantification of pharmacodynamic effects of compounds at monoamine transporters. It is

Abstract:
Sleep deprivation affects the academic performance of online university students, and students who have family responsibilities and a full-time job have a higher prevalence of sleep deprivation. This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of online university students regarding sleep patterns, sleep deprivation, and the impact on their academic performance. The theoretical foundation for this study was based on the opponent processing model that explains the 2 fundamental processes necessary for individuals to function at their optimum ability: the sleep-wake homeostatic process

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.<br>Surface roughening is an undesirable feature in materials. This work investigates the cause of surface roughening in four plates of AA6061 with different thicknesses (Le. 6 mm, 9 mm and two 12 mm). Production of these plates requires thermomechanical processing of the cast slab via a two stage process, namely the initial rolling stage on a hot roughing mill (HRM) and final rolling on the hot finishing mill (HFM). After rolling. the plates are levelled by a tensile stretching process and it is during this process that surface roughening of the plates can

Abstract:
Magister Scientiae (Medical Bioscience) - MSc(MBS)<br>Introduction: Mondia whitei commonly known as "White Ginger" is a highly acclaimed medicinal plant that is extensively used across Africa. M. whitei is used as treatment for sexual dysfunction and is considered to be an aphrodisiac by traditional medicine practitioners. Yet, scientific evidence to support these claims are minimal and those that are published possess ambiguity. To date, only one study reporting the in vitro effect of the aqueous rhizome extract of M. whitei on human sperm motility is available. Therefore, the aim of the stud

Abstract:
Clostridium difficile est la principale cause de diarrhées nosocomiales liées à la prise d'antibiotiques. La souche hypervirulente NAP1/027 est apparue récemment et a causé de nombreuses épidémies en Amérique du Nord et en Europe. On considère généralement que cette souche produit plus de toxines, sporule davantage, provoque des infections plus sévères menant à des complications et est souvent associée aux cas de récurrence. Toutefois, des études récentes ont montré des données contradictoires à ce sujet. L'objectif de mes travaux de recherche est donc de déterminer si l'issue clinique des inf

Abstract:
Filarial infections are major causes of morbidity in the tropics and sub-tropics, afflicting over 150 million people in about 80 countries, causing debilitating symptoms such as elephantiasis (lymphatic filariasis), dermatitis and blindness (onchocerciasis or river blindness). Current control of lymphatic filariais relies on mass drug treatment with diethylcarbamazine(DEC) and albendazole while ivermectin is used against onchocerciasis. Repeat treatment is frequently required and this highlights the possibility of development of drug resistance. In addition, risk of adverse reactions following

RESUMO - Enquadramento: O envelhecimento da população ocorre em todas as sociedades desenvolvidas, resultando num aumento da prevalência da dependência funcional, associado recorrentemente à presença de doenças crónicas. Estes novos padrões demográficos, epidemiológicos, implicando populações vulneráveis com necessidades específicas, resultam em desafios incontestáveis. Como resposta a este novo paradigma, em 2006, Portugal implementa a Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados (RNCCI).
