The mechanism of transcellular transport of immunoglobulin G in yolk-sac tissue
Thesis
Seymour, L. C. W. (1985). The mechanism of transcellular transport of immunoglobulin G in yolk-sac tissue

The route of prenatal antibody transmission in both the rat and rabbit is via the yolk sac (Branbell, 1970), and a method for studying in vitro endocytosis in yolk sacs (Williams et al, 1975) was modified as a model for the process of transcellular i...

The Labour Party in opposition and in government, 1970-79; the effects of the government-opposition cycle upon intra-party stability
Thesis
Stallard, W. (1985). The Labour Party in opposition and in government, 1970-79; the effects of the government-opposition cycle upon intra-party stability

This thesis considers the continuing ability or inability of a political party within the British framework of party government, to adapt to the challenges posed by the regular move from office to Opposition and back again. We will therefore examine... Read More about The Labour Party in opposition and in government, 1970-79; the effects of the government-opposition cycle upon intra-party stability.

Directional and orientational tuning in the striate cortex of the cat for contrast and textured stimuli
Thesis
Tigwell, D. A. (1985). Directional and orientational tuning in the striate cortex of the cat for contrast and textured stimuli

1. Striate cortical neurones respond selectively to the orientation of moving contrast bars. The mechanism for that selectivity has alternatively been attributed to the geniculo-cortleal synapse or Inhibitory intracortical circuitry. Functionally, t...

A transformational theory of socialisation and cultural reproduction
Thesis
Webster, D. C. H. (1985). A transformational theory of socialisation and cultural reproduction

The thesis begins with two apparently empirical questions: (1) why do those in subordinate positions within the social order acquiesce? (2) how does the existing cultural order persist? The thesis is an attempt to provide a single coherent framew... Read More about A transformational theory of socialisation and cultural reproduction.

Adaptive techniques for signal enhancement in the human electroencephalogram
Thesis
Winski, R. (1985). Adaptive techniques for signal enhancement in the human electroencephalogram

This thesis describes an investigation of adaptive noise cancelling applied to human brain evoked potentials (EPs), with particular emphasis on visually evoked responses. The chief morphological features and signal properties of EPs are described. Co... Read More about Adaptive techniques for signal enhancement in the human electroencephalogram.

Studies in parasitology: application for the award of the degree of Doctor of Science
Thesis
Arme, C. (1986). Studies in parasitology: application for the award of the degree of Doctor of Science

Preface Analysis of the interactions that occur between parasites and their hosts is complicated by the fact that the environment of an endoparasite is another living organism. A frequent starting point for such analyses is the study of isolated hos... Read More about Studies in parasitology: application for the award of the degree of Doctor of Science.

Direct foreign investment, transnational corporations and the transfer of technology to Egypt
Thesis
Abdel-Khalek, E. A. (1986). Direct foreign investment, transnational corporations and the transfer of technology to Egypt

The main concern of this thesis is to assess the performance of the transnational corporations in the transfer of technology to Egypt. The thesis first, reviews the economic literature concerning the economic rationale behind the phenomenon of direct...

Some problems in reliability of systems composed of unreliable components
Thesis
Ansell, J. (1986). Some problems in reliability of systems composed of unreliable components

The thesis considers several connected problems in the study of reliability of systems with unreliable components. Initially it reviews the dichotomic case introducing a new characterization which clarifies the importance of the k-out-of-n structures...

Migrant absorption in formal sector employment: the case of the Dhaka region jute industry
Thesis
Banu, S. (1986). Migrant absorption in formal sector employment: the case of the Dhaka region jute industry

This research concerns migrant workers in the jute manufacturing industry of Bangladesh. The absorption of labour into industry from the surplus rural population is a major feature of the social and economic transformation of developing countries. Al...

The reactions of trivalent phosphorus compounds with electrophilic acetylenes
Thesis
Caesar, J. C. (1986). The reactions of trivalent phosphorus compounds with electrophilic acetylenes

This thesis is concerned with the investigation of the reactions of some trivalent phosphorus compounds with electrophilic acetylenes, and in particular dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. These studies have involved extensive use of nuclear magnetic r... Read More about The reactions of trivalent phosphorus compounds with electrophilic acetylenes.

The mechanism of uptake and intracellular fate of leupeptin in rat yolk sacs
Thesis
Clark, S. A. (1986). The mechanism of uptake and intracellular fate of leupeptin in rat yolk sacs

The aim of the work described in this thesis was to determine the mode of uptake of the tripeptide proteinase inhibitor leupeptin, in order to better interpret the effect of leupeptin on protein degradation within cells. Different methods of leupept... Read More about The mechanism of uptake and intracellular fate of leupeptin in rat yolk sacs.
