Abstract:
A relatively large set of complex data can be described using a simple mathematical Prestonequation. However the parameter choices are an essential facet that determines the efficiencyof grinding. The depth and volume of removal contributes to a significant part of the grindingoperation that accounts for the manufacturing time. These interacting factors in the equationare studied to create, infer and compare the performance of three sets of grinding tools: padtool, brush tool and radial tool. The tools are generated using MATLAB and is provided as aninput for tool path generation. The geometry

Abstract:
The study of platelet messenger and micro-RNAs is of increasing interest owing to the fact that platelets contain the machinery to splice and translate mRNA into proteins in response to inhibitory or activating signals. However, the relatively small size (roughly 4000-5000 transcripts) and short half-life of the platelet transcriptome makes this a technically challenging aspect of platelet biology to investigate. The aims of these thesis investigations were therefore to optimise protocols for the isolation of platelets for downstream RNA analyses and function testing, to investigate the functi

Abstract:
Strong evidence that statin medication is linked to type II diabetes raises questions about the role of cholesterol in insulin secretion and pancreatic β-cell function. Experimentally induced changes in cellular cholesterol content attenuated insulin secretion robustly stimulated by both nutrient and therapeutic secretagogues in β-cell models. The mechanisms of these adverse effects were investigated, including aspects of cellular metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and effects on strategic proteins involved in glucose sensing, exocytosis and cholesterol transport.

Abstract:
Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) are located throughout the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract and play a crucial role in ion and fluid homeostasis of the lungs. Increasing ENaC activity through stimulation of β₂-adrenergic receptors has been shown to increase sodium and fluid reabsorption from the airspace to the interstitial space. In cystic fibrosis lung disease there is a hyperabsorption of sodium through ENaC which results in dehydration of the airway surface liquid.

Since temporal trends in sperm quality have also been reported in the dog, it was proposed that this may reflect a common cross-species environmental aetiology and that th
