Fukutin-related protein alters the deposition of laminin in the eye and brain
(2011-09-07)Mutations in fukutin-related protein (FKRP) are responsible for acommongroup of muscular dystrophies ranging from adult onset limb girdle muscular dystrophies to severe congenital forms with associated structural brain ... -
Full engine cycle CFD investigation of effects of variable intake valve closing on diesel PCCI combustion and emissions
(2009)A full-cycle three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled with detailed chemical kinetics has been developed to investigate the effect of late intake valve closing (IVC) on combustion and emission ... -
Full gait cycle analysis of lower limb and trunk kinematics and muscle activations during walking in participants with and without ankle instability
(2018-07-01)Background Chronic ankle instability (CAI) has previously been linked to altered lower limb kinematics and muscle activation characteristics during walking, though little research has been performed analysing the full ... -
Full- Time supervisor of midwives: Is this the future of supervision?
(2014-04-03)This article provides an insight into the role of a full-time supervisor of midwives (SoM) at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT). The role was the first of its kind in London and was ... -
A full-duplex access network based on CWDM-routed PONs
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)The application of polarisation-division-multiplexing in presented, demonstrating full-duplex transmission in an access network architecture employing RSOA-based ONUs. Modelling of a single coarse-AWG OLT to transmit ... -
Full-Service MAC Protocol for Metro-Reach GPONs
(2010)An advanced medium access control protocol is presented demonstrating dynamic bandwidth allocation for long-reach gigabit-capable passive optical networks (GPONs). The protocol enables the optical line terminal to overlap ... -
Fully automatic worst-case execution time analysis for MATLAB/Simulink models
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002)In today's technical world (e.g., in the automotive industry), more and more purely mechanical components get replaced by electro-mechanical ones. Thus the size and complexity of embedded systems steadily increases. To ... -
Fully connected network of superconducting qubits in a cavity.
(IOP Publishing, 2008)A fully connected qubit network is considered, where every qubit interacts with every other one. When the interactions between the qubits are homogeneous, the system is a special case of the finite Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick ... -
Fully integrated digital microfluidics platform for automated immunoassay; a versatile tool for rapid, specific detection of a wide range of pathogens
(2019-03-01)With the tangible threat posed by the release of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents, detection of airborne pathogens is a critical military and security concern. Recent air sampling techniques developed for ... -
Fully-balanced structures of continuous-time MLF OTA-C filters
(1998)This paper presents general fully balanced structures of continuous-time OTA-C filters based on multiple loop feedback (MLF) configurations. Both simple all pole and complex arbitrary zero fully balanced implementations ... -

A Fully-Integrated Reconfigurable Dual-Band Transceiver for Short Range Wireless Communications in 180 nm CMOS
(2015-08-27)A fully-integrated reconfigurable dual-band (760-960 MHz and 2.4-2.5 GHz) transceiver (TRX) for short range wireless communications is presented. The TRX consists of two individually-optimized RF front-ends for each band ... -
Fun or Fear? On-Site Versus On-Screen Experiences in Paranormal Tourism: A Case Study of Hashima Island, Japan
(2023-12-14)Paranormal tourism has seen increased demand, particularly from those tourists who seek unusual or unique experiences. Various paranormal phenomena offer multidimensional experiences for tourists in different physical ... -
Function and Organization : Comparing the mechanisms of protein synthesis and natural selection
(2010-09)In this paper, we compare the mechanisms of protein synthesis and natural selection. We identify three core elements of mechanistic explanation: functional individuation, hierarchical nestedness or decomposition, and ... -
Functional amounts of dystrophin produced by skipping the mutated exon in the mdx dystrophic mouse
(2003)As a target for gene therapy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) presents many obstacles but also an unparalleled prospect for correction by alternative splicing. The majority of mutations in the dystrophin gene occur in ... -
FUNCTIONAL AND HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES IN RAT URINARY BLADDER FOLLOWING SHORT AND LONG TERM KETAMINE EXPOSURE
(2020-11-18)Introduction: Due partly to their dissociative properties, ketamine and related new psychoactive substances (NPS) are widely used as recreational drugs. This has led to the discovery of a link between the chronic use of ... -
Functional Collusion in a UK Non Governmental Organisation: Processes of Shame and Exclusion from the Perspective of an Organisational Development Practitioner
(2018-07-17)This thesis explores the emergence of functional collusion in groups and communities. Collusion is often taken up as synonymous with conspiracy, as a negative aspect of people seeking to get an advantage by nefarious means. ... -
A functional group approach to the management of UK arable weeds to support biological diversity
(2006-12)Weeds have an important role in maintaining farmland biodiversity. This needs to be balanced with their potential negative impact on crop yield and quality. Mechanistic models of crop-weed competition are an important tool ... -
Functional impact of genetically modified micro-organisms on the soil ecosystem
(SOS Publications, 1997)Most attempts to monitor the effects of introductions of Genetically Modified Micro-organisms (GMMs) have centred on the enumeration of specific populations. However for a significant perturbation to be measured, changes ...
