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.

I choose to look initially at two converts, Thomas Arnold jnr and 'John Oliv... Read More about Oscar Wilde and Frederick Rolfe: two Catholic converts in 1890s' english literature.

The effects of oestrogen on renal and systemic haemodynamics in the rat: influence of intrarenal vasoactive substances and plasma volume status
Thesis
Evans, J. K. (1986). The effects of oestrogen on renal and systemic haemodynamics in the rat: influence of intrarenal vasoactive substances and plasma volume status

The effects of oestrogen on renal and systemic haemodynamics, intrarenal vasoactive substances and plasma volume status have been studied in adult female normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Administration of oestrogen to both strains o... Read More about The effects of oestrogen on renal and systemic haemodynamics in the rat: influence of intrarenal vasoactive substances and plasma volume status.

The human glutathione S-transferases: a study of the tissue distribution, genetic variation and development of the GST1, GST2 and GST3 isoenzymes
Thesis
Faulder, G. C. (1986). The human glutathione S-transferases: a study of the tissue distribution, genetic variation and development of the GST1, GST2 and GST3 isoenzymes

The glutathione S-transferases are a group of detoxicating enzymes found in all human tissues studied. They are believed to be the products of at least three autosomal gene loci (GST1, GST2 and GST3). The expression of these loci was examined using s...

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of spin-labelled ethidium bromide DNA interactions
Thesis
Keeble, D. J. (1986). Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of spin-labelled ethidium bromide DNA interactions

Spin-Labelled Ethidium Bromide (SLEB) was prepared in order to study its interactions with natural DNA in the form of fibres . The technique of electron paramagnetic resonance was used in this thesis. Knowledge of the conformational transition pathwa...

Further education, work and technician qualification: a case study of the TEC certificate in a local college
Thesis
McIntyre, T. (1986). Further education, work and technician qualification: a case study of the TEC certificate in a local college

The introduction of TEC provision from 1976 has been generally regarded - both by proponents and critics - as significantly advancing the accountability of colleges to 'industrial needs'. The requirement that colleges develop their technician program... Read More about Further education, work and technician qualification: a case study of the TEC certificate in a local college.

Bayesian sequential methods for binomial and multinomial selection problems
Thesis
Madhi, S. A. (1986). Bayesian sequential methods for binomial and multinomial selection problems

The thesis deals with binomial and multinomial sequential selection problems. Optimal sequential sampling schemes are derived by using dynamic programming in conjunction with loss functions and sampling costs and to minimize expected sample sizes. Co...
