Cellular and environmental control of glycine transport in HeLa and Xenopus laevis cultured cells
(University of St Andrews, 1975) - Thesis1 (a) Accumulative transport systems for glycine were identified in HeLa and Xenopus laevis kidney cells. In both cell types, influx and efflux obey Michaelis- Menten kinetics and kinetic constants were calculated for both ... -
Cellular and molecular studies of postembryonic muscle fibre recruitment in zebrafish (Danio rerio L.)
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - ThesisCellular and molecular mechanisms of postembryonic muscle fibre recruitment were investigated in zebrafish (Danio rerio L.), a standard animal model for developmental and genetic studies. Distinct cellular mechanisms of ... -
Cellular and proteomic studies of the mitochondrial ABAD/Aβ complex : investigating its role in Alzheimer's disease
(University of St Andrews, 2012) - ThesisThe focus of this thesis is to investigate the intracellular protein-peptide complex 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH), also known as ABAD (amyloid- binding alcohol dehydrogenase) and amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ). This ... -
Cellular stress responses to chronic heat shock and shell damage in temperate Mya truncata
(2018-05-12) - Journal articleAcclimation, via phenotypic flexibility, is a potential means for a fast response to climate change. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning phenotypic flexibility can provide a fine-scale cellular understanding ... -
Cellulose II as bioethanol feedstock and its advantages over native cellulose
(2017-09) - Journal articleAlternative renewable energy must emerge to sustainably meet the energy demands of the present and future. Current alternatives to fossil fuels are electricity from solar, wind and tidal energies and biofuels. Biofuels, ... -

A census of variability in globular cluster M 68 (NGC 4590)
(2015-06) - Journal articleAims. We analyse 20 nights of CCD observations in the V and I bands of the globular cluster M 68 (NGC 4590) and use them to detect variable objects. We also obtained electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) observations for this ... -

The Central Intelligence Agency’s armed Remotely Piloted Vehicle-supported counter-insurgency campaign in Pakistan – a mission undermined by unintended consequences?
(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2014-09-01) - Journal articleThis paper views America's 'drones-first' counter-insurgency effort in Pakistan through the lens of Merton's theory of the unintended consequences of purposive action. It also references Beck’s Risk Society thesis, America’s ... -
Centralisers and normalisers in symmetric and alternating groups
(University of St Andrews, 1998) - ThesisIn this thesis, we analyse the structure of the centraliser of an element and of the normaliser of a cyclic subgroup in both Sn and An. We show that the centraliser in Sn of a permutation can be written as a direct product ... -
Certain aspects of Ijitihād in Islamic jurisprudence : with special reference to the comparative study between Sunnī and Shī'ī principles
(University of St Andrews, 1991-07) - ThesisThis work is concerned with certain aspects of Ijtihād in Islamic jurisprudence by the comparative study of Sunnī and Shī'ī views. The chosen aspects are; (1) The historical development of Ijtihād within both traditions. ... -
