Epigenetic and oncogenic regulation of SLC16A7 (MCT2) results in protein over-expression, impacting on signalling and cellular phenotypes in prostate cancer
(2015-06-02) - Journal articleMonocarboxylate Transporter 2 (MCT2) is a major pyruvate transporter encoded by the SLC16A7 gene. Recent studies pointed to a consistent overexpression of MCT2 in prostate cancer (PCa) suggesting MCT2 as a putative biomarker ... -
Bayesian multi-species modelling of non-negative continuous ecological data with a discrete mass at zero
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - ThesisSevere declines in the number of some songbirds over the last 40 years have caused heated debate amongst interested parties. Many factors have been suggested as possible causes for these declines, including an increase ... -
Random coeffcient models for complex longitudinal data
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06-27) - ThesisLongitudinal data are common in biological research. However, real data sets vary considerably in terms of their structure and complexity and present many challenges for statistical modelling. This thesis proposes a series ... -
Novel methods for species distribution mapping including spatial models in complex regions
(University of St Andrews, 2013-11-05) - ThesisSpecies Distribution Modelling (SDM) plays a key role in a number of biological applications: assessment of temporal trends in distribution, environmental impact assessment and spatial conservation planning. From a statistical ... -
Modelling catch sampling uncertainty in fisheries stock assessment : the Atlantic-Iberian sardine case
(University of St Andrews, 2013) - ThesisThe statistical assessment of harvested fish populations, such as the Atlantic-Iberian sardine (AIS) stock, needs to deal with uncertainties inherent in fisheries systems. Uncertainties arising from sampling errors and ...
