An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect
Thesis
(1982). An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect

A series of experiments are reported which have attempted to isolate some factors causing inter and intrasubject variability of the McCollough effect.* A number of such factors were found.
1. The initial strength of the OCCA is strongly influenced b... Read More about An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect.

Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli
Thesis
(1982). Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli

A series of experiments are reported in which the spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of the initial components Cl and CII of the transient pattern-onset VEP, of predicted striate and extrastriate origin, are examined. Where relevant the respo... Read More about Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli.

Echinococcus granulosus: studies on the development of the metacestode tegument.
Thesis
(1987). Echinococcus granulosus: studies on the development of the metacestode tegument

Protoscoleces of the horse strain of Echinococcus granulosus were successfully cultured both in vitro and in BALB/c mice to produce small hydatid cysts. In vitro cysts were formed from vesiculating protoscoleces and also from posterior bladders and p... Read More about Echinococcus granulosus: studies on the development of the metacestode tegument..

The effects of corticosterone on persistence of attention in Mus musculus
Thesis
(1987). The effects of corticosterone on persistence of attention in Mus musculus

It is widely believed that corticosterone plays a role in psychological, and ultimately behavioural adaptation during stress. The aim of this thesis was to examine the nature of the adaptation brought about by corticosterone. The hypothesis under tes...

Aspects of chromatic and temporal processing in normal and impaired human vision
Thesis
(1987). Aspects of chromatic and temporal processing in normal and impaired human vision

A psychophysical study was made of post-receptoral processing In the human visual system. The first series of experiments investigated normal red-green opponent-colour function by Means of a paradigm in which a white auxiliary field was made spatiall...

The effects of alcohols on pinocytosis and proteolysis in the rat yolk sac in vitro
Thesis
(1987). The effects of alcohols on pinocytosis and proteolysis in the rat yolk sac in vitro

This thesis Investigates the effects of two alcohols, ethanol and benzyl alcohol, on the process of endocytosis In the rat visceral yolk sac In vitro. In Chapter 1, the process of endocytosis is introduced and the structure and function of the rat vi...

Some studies of spontaneous and evoked acoustic emissions from the human ear
Thesis
(1987). Some studies of spontaneous and evoked acoustic emissions from the human ear

Several studies of spontaneous and evoked oto-acoustic emissions (SOAEs and EOAEs) and their relationship to norsal and pathological hearing mechanism are described.
1. A computer model was developed to study the theory that the EOAE is produced by... Read More about Some studies of spontaneous and evoked acoustic emissions from the human ear.

An investigation of the structure of tumour necrosis factor a in Cyprinus carpio
Thesis
(2017). An investigation of the structure of tumour necrosis factor a in Cyprinus carpio

Tumour necrosis factor a (TNF-a) is a soluble cytokine that has a number of different roles in the immune system. It carries out these functions by binding to one of its receptors TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) and TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2). Cyprinus carpio (co...
