(Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 2011-04-01) - ReportThis report highlights that businesses can’t evaluate the nature, extent and value of greenhouse gas emission-associated risks and opportunities until high-quality information is available. And this means an investment in ... -
Carceral soundscapes : sonic violence and embodied experience in films about imprisonment
(2015) - Journal articlePost 9/11 the ‘invisibility’ of political prisoners as part of the ‘war on terror’ has had a direct correlation with the concealment of abusive treatment of detainees in the detention camps at Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. ... -
Cardiac myoglobin deficit has evolved repeatedly in teleost fishes
(2014-06-11) - Journal articleMyoglobin (Mb) is the classic vertebrate oxygen-binding protein present in aerobic striated muscles. It functions principally in oxygen delivery and provides muscle with its characteristic red colour. Members of the Antarctic ... -
Cardiometabolic effects of genetic upregulation of the interleukin 1 receptor antagonist : a Mendelian randomisation analysis
(2015-04-01) - Journal articleTo investigate potential cardiovascular and other effects of long-term pharmacological interleukin 1 (IL-1) inhibition, we studied genetic variants that produce inhibition of IL-1, a master regulator of inflammation. ... -
Care of the infant and newborn in Malawi (2017) : the COIN Course - Participants Manual
(University of St Andrews, 2016-12) - BookThe majority of deaths in neonates and young infants can be prevented with low-cost interventions. It has been estimated that we can reduce up to half of all preventable neonatal deaths, with optimal treatment of neonatal ... -
Carl Friedrich Geiser and Ferdinand Rudio : the men behind the first International Congress of Mathematicians
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-26) - ThesisThe first International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) was held in Zurich in 1897, setting the standards for all future ICMs. Whilst giving an overview of the congress itself, this thesis focuses on the Swiss organisers, ... -
Carlos Cruz-Diez : from figuration to kineticism
(University of St Andrews, 2015-04) - ThesisThe Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (b.1923) is an exemplar of modernism both in Europe and in Latin America. This thesis offers a broader understanding of his work by discussing his early paintings as a precedent to ... -
Carmen universitatis : a theological study of music and measure
(University of St Andrews, 2000) - ThesisIn every era and every culture, human beings have made music. Moreover, in most cultures---certainly through most of Christian history-music has played an important role in worship and religious ritual. But why should music ... -
'Carnal acts' : from theory to publication
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06-24) - ThesisThe first part of the thesis comprises Chapters 1 to 40 of the novel, written under a pseudonym, followed by a synopsis of the remaining chapters, 41 to 155. The potential jacket copy will refer to the protagonists, a ... -
Carnap's conventionalism : logic, science, and tolerance
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06-26) - ThesisIn broadest terms, this thesis is concerned to answer the question of whether the view that arithmetic is analytic can be maintained consistently. Lest there be much suspense, I will conclude that it can. Those who ... -

Carpe lucem: harnessing organic light sources for optogenetics
(Portland Press Ltd., 2016-12) - Journal articleWith the advent of optogenetics, numerous functions in cells have been rendered responsive to the experimental delivery of light. The most common implementation of this technique features neurons genetically modified to ... -
Carrier delocalization in InAs/InGaAlAs/InP quantum‐dash‐based tunnel injection system for 1.55 μm emission
(2017-01) - Journal articleWe have investigated optical properties of hybrid two‐dimensional‐zero‐dimensional (2D‐0D) tunnel structures containing strongly elongated InAs/InP(001) quantum dots (called quantum dashes), emitting at 1.55 μm. These ... -
Carrier transfer between confined and localized states in type II InAs/GaAsSb quantum wells
(2017-02) - Journal articleTemperature-resolved photoluminescence studies were performed on tensely-strained AlSb/InAs/GaAsSb W-shaped type II quantum wells. They revealed two emission bands: one at lower energy of localized origin resulting from ... -
Carrier-density control of the SrTiO3 (001) surface 2DEG studied by ARPES
(2015) - Journal articleThe origin of the 2D electron gas (2DEG)stabilized at the bare surface of SrTiO3 (001) is investigated. Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission and core-level spectroscopy, it is shown conclusively that this ... -
