The matter-of-fact in science: a sociological ethnography of a biochemistry laboratory
Thesis
(1984). The matter-of-fact in science: a sociological ethnography of a biochemistry laboratory

The development of intellectual strands pointing to the value of ethnographies of science are traced and the approach adopted for the present research is related to other laboratory observations. The findings gathered for this thesis are then prese... Read More about The matter-of-fact in science: a sociological ethnography of a biochemistry laboratory.

An A.E.S. study of S.E.E. and electron beam effects at oxygen exposed aluminium surfaces
Thesis
Adem, E. H. (1985). An A.E.S. study of S.E.E. and electron beam effects at oxygen exposed aluminium surfaces

An AES technique has been used to Investigate oxygen adsorption at clean polycrystalline aluminium surfaces. The adsorption process was found to consist of two stages: chemisorption, reached within the first 50L of oxygen exposure, is followed by an...

Business, politics and family ties three case studies: the Cerchi, Dell'antella and portinari of Florence 1260-1360
Thesis
Baggott, C. M. (1985). Business, politics and family ties three case studies: the Cerchi, Dell'antella and portinari of Florence 1260-1360

Despite the importance of the patrician family to the history of Florence, there have been few modern studies of any representative family or families in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the formulative period in the evolution of the commune,...

Evaluation of crosslinked soluble N-(2-Hydroxypropyl) Methacrylamide copolymers as a potential drug carrier
Thesis
Cartlidge, S. A. (1985). Evaluation of crosslinked soluble N-(2-Hydroxypropyl) Methacrylamide copolymers as a potential drug carrier

Soluble crosslinked hydroxypropyl(methacrylamide) copolymers have been studied in the rat, both in vitro and in vivo, in order to assess their suitability as drug carriers in a targetable drug delivery system. The lO radiolabelled copolymers used w... Read More about Evaluation of crosslinked soluble N-(2-Hydroxypropyl) Methacrylamide copolymers as a potential drug carrier.

The 1902 education act and Roman Catholic schools: a study of a community's efforts to gain and to preserve denominational education in its schools
Thesis
Cashman, J. (1985). The 1902 education act and Roman Catholic schools: a study of a community's efforts to gain and to preserve denominational education in its schools

By 1902, a quarter of a million children were attending Catholic elementary schools in England and Wales. The thesis suggests that the initial impetus for the founding of these schools was the desire of the Catholic immigrant community to manifest it...

Prenatal maternal stress in Mus musculus: effects on the offspring, and the role of the mother
Thesis
Creighton, J. A. (1985). Prenatal maternal stress in Mus musculus: effects on the offspring, and the role of the mother

The aim of this project was to examine certain aspects of prenatal stress, by providing a more comprehensive study of one strain of animal in one laboratory than hitherto presented. The stressor employed was that of crowding during the last third of... Read More about Prenatal maternal stress in Mus musculus: effects on the offspring, and the role of the mother.

The relationship between sedimentary history and geotechnical behaviour of Quaternary sediments in Holderness
Thesis
Foster, C. T. (1985). The relationship between sedimentary history and geotechnical behaviour of Quaternary sediments in Holderness

The stratigraphy-, sedimentology and geotechnical properties of the Quaternary sequence in Holderness were examined in detail, with the aim of relating depositional history to observed geotechnical behaviour. Both the Withernsea and Skipsea Till unit... Read More about The relationship between sedimentary history and geotechnical behaviour of Quaternary sediments in Holderness.

An experimental study of fine-grain motion perception in the human visual system
Thesis
Gravano, S. (1985). An experimental study of fine-grain motion perception in the human visual system

This thesis explores the characteristics of motion perception in the peripheral field of the human visual system as revealed by the fine-grain movement illusion, in which the sequential flashing of two spatially unresolved dot flashes results in the...

The geology of the Morlaix - St Michel-en-Greve region, N.W. Brittany, France
Thesis
Griffiths, N. (1985). The geology of the Morlaix - St Michel-en-Greve region, N.W. Brittany, France

Detailed mapping of the area between Morlaix and St. Michel-en- Greve has been carried out within the northwest part of the Massif Armoricain and three distinct tectono-metamorphic areas have been recognised. In the western area a medium-high grade m... Read More about The geology of the Morlaix - St Michel-en-Greve region, N.W. Brittany, France.

Hymenolepis diminuta: the pathophysiology of infection in the intermediate host, Tenebrio molitor
Thesis
Hurd, H. (1985). Hymenolepis diminuta: the pathophysiology of infection in the intermediate host, Tenebrio molitor

In T. molitor infected with metacestodes of H. diminuta total haemolymph free protein concentration, determined by the Lowry method, ranged from 62 to 81 mg/ml in females and was significantly lower in males (36-54mg/ml). A 477. increase was detected... Read More about Hymenolepis diminuta: the pathophysiology of infection in the intermediate host, Tenebrio molitor.

The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Brønlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups (Cambrian) of Peary Land, eastern North Greenland
Thesis
Ineson, J. R. (1985). The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Brønlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups (Cambrian) of Peary Land, eastern North Greenland

Proterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic strata in eastern North Greenland record two contrasting depositional regimes: a cratonic shelf bounded to the north by a deep-water basin. The shelf strata include the BrjSnlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups, a ca...
