Abstract:

Signal transduction via the phosphoinositide (PI) second messenger system has key roles in the development and plasticity of the neocortex. The present study localized PI responses to individual cortical layers in slices of developing rat somatosensory cortex. The acetylcholine agonist carbachol and the glutamate agonist trans-1-amino-1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (ACPD) were used to stimulate PI turnover. The PI responses were compared to the distribution of the corresponding PI-linked receptors in order to investigate the regional ontogeny of PI coupling to receptors in relation to neura

Abstract:

An antisense transgenic approach was taken in order to assess the importance of P-ketoacyl-ACP- Synthase III (KAS III) in regulation and initiation of de novo fatty acid synthesis in planta. The transgenic plants were generated in order to show whether alternative pathways exist to initiate fatty acid synthesis if the most direct route is lost. In order to develop such a study, a KAS III cDNA clone of 1622bp was isolated from a Brassica napus embryo library. This clone was used to generate an antisense construct containing a strong double 35S promoter and a CaMV poly A tail. The antisense vect

Abstract:

Abstract In eukaryotic cells, fatty acids are mainly synthesized in the cytoplasm, but recently, in yeast and in humans, the ability to synthesize fatty acids has been characterized in mitochondria. This mitochondrial pathway is similar to bacterial type II fatty acid synthesis (FAS). The main feature of mitochondrial FAS in yeast is the respiratory deficient phenotype and loss of cytochromes when any of genes encoding enzymes for mitochondrial FAS is deleted. Mitochondrial FAS has been demonstrated to have an important role in lipoic acid production, namely it synthesizes octanoyl-ACP, which

Abstract:

The relatively high level of palmitic acid (22 mol%) in cottonseeds may be due in part to the activity of a palmitoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (PATE). In embryo extracts, PATE activity was highest at the maximum rate of reserve accumulation (oil and protein). The cotton FatB mRNA transcript abundance also peaked during this developmental stage, paralleling the profiles of PATE enzyme activity and seed oil accumulation. A cotton FatB cDNA clone was isolated by screening a cDNA library with a heterologous Arabidopsis FatB probe (Pirtle et al., 1999, Plant and Cell Physiology 40

Abstract:

Suppression of undesirable vibrations is critical to ensure good dynamic performance of engineering structures. Vibration suppression problems can be categorised in terms of vibration behaviour, such as transient, self-excited or steady-state vibrations. Passive vibration suppression methods are widely adopted due to their inherent advantages, such as simplicity and reliability. Additionally, the introduction of the inerter has fundamentally expanded the achievable performance of passive vibration suppressors. Appropriate methodologies for the design of optimal passive vibration suppressors ar

An introduction sets out the writers of this ‘New Moment’ [Jacob Taubes, Giorgio Agamben, Stanislas Breton, as well as Badiou, Eagleton and Žižek] before isolating the figures of this study. The reception of this ‘moment’ by mainstream New Testament studies is considered, and with it the char

Abstract:

This thesis is the first close study of Wordsworth and silence. It uncovers the comprehensive investigation into monastic history and hagiography (with special emphasis on St Basil) that Wordsworth engaged in between 1807 and 1810, showing that the type of silence he valued came from the monastic tradition. I trace Wordsworth’s material commitment to the power of silence through his use of hermit figures and his habit of visiting ruined monasteries. I concentrate on the poetry he composed from 1807 onwards and mark his eight-month residence in 1806-7 at the home of Sir George and Lady Beaumont

Carbon-based materials are poised to be an important class of 21st century materials, for bio-medical, bio-electronic, and bio-sensing applications. Diamond and polymers are two examples of carbon-based materials of high interest to the bio-materials community. Diamond, in its conductive form, can be used as an electrochemical bio-sensor, whilst its nanoparticle form is considered a non-inflammatory platform to deliver drugs or to grow neuronal cells. Polymers, especially when chemically modified, have been used extensively in biological environments, from anti-microbial use to drug delivery.

These methods can serve to non-destructively and continuously measure material specimens, thickness, corrosion losses, deformations, spectroscopy and detection and analysis of crack geometry. They can help to identify materials and measure material changes over time. The second part of this thesis deals with designing the aperture for detection of cracks in steam and p

Abstract:

The development and implementation of a complex numerical model for the determination of the damage to masonry buildings resulting from tunnelling settlements is described in this thesis. The current methods of damage prediction do not, in general, take into account the stiffness and weight of the surface structure. The model addresses this deficiency by explicit inclusion of the structure. Three-dimensional finite elements are used to model the ground with a non-linear, elasto-plastic soil model based on kinematic hardening. Tunnel linings are modelled using a novel overlapping elastic shell

Abstract:

My thesis is a critique of Adorno's method that stays true to the dialectical spirit of his philosophy precisely by calling it in question. It opens, in Part I, with an account of Habermasian objections to negative dialectics. Habermas is concerned that Adorno's assault on rationality is so allembracing that it undermines the very standards it requires rationally to legitimate its critique. Adorno consciously embraces this self-undermining position. But Habermas believes its aporias, however self-conscious, to be misguided because a less paradoxical standard was close to hand.

One of the principal themes of this thesis is that it is incorrect to treat "Afrikanerdom" as a monolithic, unified ethnic entity. At the time of its election victory in 1948, the National Party (NP) represented an alliance of various factions and classes, all of whom perceived their Interests in different ways. Given, too, that black resistance to exploitation and oppression increased throughout the 1950s, apartheid ideology cannot be viewed as an immutable, uncontested blueprint, which was stamped by the NP on to a static political situation.

Part of the problem is that few previous studies have privileged socio-political contributions (e.g. gender-based power inequalities and the impacts of social net

However, in the transportation literature, there is still little theoretically informed understanding of justice and what it means in the context of transport policies.

One of the major mechanisms via which endogenous RA regulates gene expression is through the canonical signalling, which involves binding and activation of RA receptors (RARs) by RA. It is well-acknowledged that the canonical signalling of endogenous RA is indispensable for embryonic kidney development but its role in the kidney after birth is not as well-established.

Abstract:

FR901483 was to be synthesised to highlight the applicability of the acid-catalysed hydroamination reaction to natural product synthesis.  FR901483 contains a <italic>spiro</italic>-centre, analogues of which have been successfully synthesised in the Knight group.  A model study showed that the cyclisation should indeed be possible.

Abstract:

The aim of the study was to determine the efficiency with which the carbon skeletons of essential amino acids are utilised by the pig when they are limiting in its diet. This requires the oxidation rate of an amino acid to be measured accurately using a tracer labelled with an isotope of carbon or hydrogen. The use of carbon labelled tracers requires the animal to be enclosed in a sealed chamber for the collection of CO<sub>2</sub>; to avoid this the use of [<sup>3</sup>H]-labelled tracers was investigated. The oxidation rates of [<sup>14</sup>C]-labelled tracers when the tracee was limiting a

Abstract:

This thesis describes the use of Brønsted acid catalysis to promote 6-exo-trig cyclisations in the synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds. In Chapter one, a general overview of alkaloid structures is given, together with a number of general ways for their synthesis, with a particular focus on the Bischler-Napieralski and Pictet-Spengler methods. Hydroamination as a synthetic method is then briefly reviewed to set into context the present project to develop and optimize an acid-catalysed hydroamination method as an alternative protocol to the Picted-Spengler reaction. Chapter two describes diffe
