Consulting pupils on the assessment of their learning
Leitch, R.; Gardner, J.; Lundy, L.; Clough, P.; Odena, O.; Mitchell, S.; Galanouli, D. (Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP), 2008)This project examined pupils’ participation in their own assessment from a children’s rights perspective, based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It demonstrated that when genuine opportunities ... -
Eosinophilia as a marker of resistance to Teladorsagia circumcincta in Scottish Blackface lambs
Stear, M.J.; Henderson, N.G.; Kerr, A.; McKellar, Quintin; Mitchell, S.; Seeley, C.; Bishop, S.C. (2002-05) -
Fructosamine concentration and resistance to natural, predominantly Teladorsagia circumcincta infection
Stear, M.J.; Eckersall, P.D.; Graham, P.A.; McKellar, Quintin; Mitchell, S.; Bishop, S.C. (2001-08)Fructosamine con cent rations reflect protein status and because infection with Teladorsagia circumcineta can induce a relative protein deficiency, we examined the usefulness of fructosamine concentrations as markers of ... -
The genetic control of IgA activity against Teladorsagia circumcincta and its association with parasite resistance in naturally infected sheep
Strain, S.A.J.; Bishop, S.C.; Henderson, N.G.; Kerr, A.; McKellar, Quintin; Mitchell, S.; Stear, M.J. (2002-05)Previous studies in deliberately infected sheep have shown an association between IgA activity against 4th-stage larvae of Teladorsagia circumcincta and parasite growth, development and fecundity. The purpose of this ... -
The influence of age on the variation among sheep in susceptibility to natural nematode infection
Stear, M.J.; Mitchell, S.; Strain, S.; Bishop, S.C.; McKellar, Quintin (2000-03-28)A longitudinal study of faecal nematode egg counts was made in naturally infected Scottish Blackface sheep over two grazing seasons to 75 weeks of age. Although egg counts were lower in the second grazing season the variation ... -
The influence of increased feeding on the susceptibility of sheep to infection with Haemonchus contortus
Wallace, D.S.; Bairden, K.; Duncan, J.L.; Eckersall, P.D.; Fishwick, G.; Holmes, P.H.; McKellar, Quintin; Mitchell, S.; Murray, M.; Parkins, J.J. (1999-10)Previous research has shown that supplementing the diet of growing lambs with urea enhances their ability to withstand gastrointestinal infection with the nematode Haemonchus contortus. This study compared lambs given two ... -
The influence of relative resistance and urea-supplementation on deliberate infection with<i> Teladorsagia circumcincta during winter
Stear, M.J.; Bairden, K.; Duncan, J.L.; Eckersall, P.D.; Fishwick, G.; Graham, P.A.; Holmes, P.H.; McKellar, Quintin; Mitchell, S.; Murray, M. (2000-12-20)The consequences for lambs of infection over the winter with Teladorsagia circumcincta were quantified by deliberate, trickle infection of selected animals at 7 months of age. Infected and control uninfected animals were ...
