Development of natural HEMP fibre sheet mould composites (NF- SMC)
(2009)The use of natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composites has generated much interest in recent years due to environmental legislation and improvements on natural fibre performance and process-abilities. This research ... -
Development of new graphene/epoxy nanocomposites and study of cure kinetics, thermal and mechanical properties
(2020-12-01)New graphene/polymer nanocomposites were prepared using graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and the epoxy system Epilok 60–566/Curamine 32–494. The GNPs were first dispersed into the curamine hardener using bath ultrasonication, ... -
Development of new quantitative physiological and molecular breeding parameters based on the sugar beet vernalization intensity model.
(2013-08)Sugar-beet crops, Beta vulgaris spp. vulgaris (L), suffer from premature bolting and flowering as a consequence of prolonged exposure to cold conditions (vernalization). This reduces crop yield and quality and could be ... -
Development of Novel Sustained Release Formulations for Older Adults With Swallowing Difficulties
(2019-10-14)The older cohort is the fastest growing subsection in the population; they are the major users of medicines and are also more vulnerable to dysphagia which can make safe swallowing of solid oral dosage forms challenging. ... -
Development of Oculimacula yallundae and O-acuformis (eyespot) lesions on stems of winter wheat in relation to thermal time in the UK
(2009-02)Relationships between development of eyespot, caused by Oculimacula yallundae (OY) or O. acuformis (OA) on stems of winter wheat (cv. Avalon), and thermal time (degrees C days after sowing) were investigated in field ... -
Development of Oculimacula yallundae and O-acuformis (eyespot) on leaf sheaths of winter wheat in the UK in relation to thermal time
(2005-04)In a controlled environment (15/10 degrees C) (day/night) container experiment on winter wheat (cv. Avalon), eyespot incidence (percentage of plants affected) and number of leaf sheaths penetrated after 6 weeks increased ... -
Development of PancRISK, a urine biomarker-based risk score for stratified screening of pancreatic cancer patients
(2019-12-20)BACKGROUND: An accurate and simple risk prediction model that would facilitate earlier detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is not available at present. In this study, we compare different algorithms of risk ... -
Development of PCR based diagnostic techniques for the two mating types of Pyrenopeziza brassicae (light leaf spot) on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp. oleifera)
(1999-08)Two sets of PCR primers were designed from DNA sequence which flanked the 3' end of the Pyrenopeziza brassicae mating type idiomorphs (MAT-1 and MAT-2). The first set of primers facilitated the amplification of a 750 bp ... -
Development of PCR for the detection of Polymyxa-betae in sugar beet roots and its application in field studies
(1995-11)A previously cloned 1.8 kb PCR Polymyxa betae DNA fragment has been fully sequenced and used to design PCR primers for the specific detection of P. betae in sugar beet seedling roots. The primers did not amplify sequences ... -
Development of phoma lesions on oilseed rape leaves inoculated with ascospores of A-group or B-group Leptosphaeria maculans (stem canker) at different temperatures and wetness durations
(2001-02)In controlled-environment experiments, ascospores of both A-group and B-group Leptosphaeria maculans were able to infect leaves of oilseed rape and produce phoma leaf spot lesions at temperatures from 5 to 20 degreesC and ... -
The development of powder pocket dynamic mechanical analysis for the detection of amorphous content in salbutamol sulphate: a feasibility study
(2005-09)Dry powder inhalers are a commonly prescribed dosage form for the treatment of asthma. In essence they consist of an active compound in particulate form (1–5 m diameter) adhered loosely on the surface of a larger inert ... -
Development of pragmatic language comprehension in Finnish-speaking children
(2007)This research explores the development of pragmatic comprehension within the framework of relevance theory. Participants were 210 typically developing Finnish children aged from 3 to 9 years. The children were asked questions ... -
The development of prospective memory in children : Methodological issues, empirical findings, and future directions

Development of Pyrenopeziza brassicae apothecia on agar and oilseed rape debris
(2001-06)The development of apothecia of Pyrenopeziza brassicae (anamorph Cylindrosporium concentricum) on oilseed rape debris and compost malt agar was observed by scanning electron and light microscopy. On oilseed rape debris, ... -
Development of Smart Polymeric Nanocontainers for the Therapy of Head and Brain Malignancies
(2023-04-26)Head and brain tumours account for 2% to 4% of all cancers globally. Despite progress made in diagnosis and adjuvant therapies, they remain a global burden with unsatisfactory survival rates, reduced treatment outcome, ...
