Dynamics of Energy Use in UK Households : End-use monitoring of Electric Cookers
(Ademe, 1999-06)This study was funded by DGXVII of the EC and the UK DETR. It commenced in January 1997 and was completed in January 1999. The general context of the research was that of reducing the energy consumption of the existing ... -
The Dynamics of Growth within Global Organisations : Issues, Consequences and Implications
(2011)An ever-accelerating rate of growth is altering the pace of change and making global organisations perform tradeo ®s in terms of organisational capabilities and quality of output. This paper reports on the empirical ¯ndings ... -
The Dynamics of Radio Galaxies and Double-Double Radio Galaxies
(2011-12)Relativistic and magnetized plasma ejected by radio loud AGNs through jets form the diffuse lobes of radio galaxies. The radiating particles (electron/electron-positron) in lobes emit in radio via the synchrotron process ... -
Dynamics of relativistic radio jets in asymmetric environments
(2021-12-01)We have carried out relativistic three-dimensional simulations of high-power radio sources propagating into asymmetric cluster environments. We offset the environment by 0 or 1 core radii (equal to 144 kpc), and incline ... -
Dynamics of solute/matric stress interactions with climate change abiotic factors on growth, gene expression and ochratoxin aA production by Penicillium verrucosum on a wheat-based matrix
(2020-10-16)Penicillium verrucosum is responsible for ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination of temperate cereals during harvesting and storage. Inoculum comes from soil and crop debris. This study examined the effect of temperature (25 vs ... -
The dynamics of the contemporary governance of the world's food supply and the challenges of policy redirection
(2015-04-30)This paper identifies the governance dynamics and the international policy architecture that frame contemporary policy actions in relation to the food supply and elaborates on key governance tensions that policy makers ... -
The dynamics of the giant radio galaxy 3C 457
(2009)We present multifrequency radio observations with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and Very Large Array, and X-ray observations with the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM–Newton) telescope of the giant radio source (GRS) ... -
Dynamics of the radio galaxy 3C 449
(1998)We present ROSAT PSPC observations of the twin-jet radio galaxy 3C449. The soft X- ray emission from this object is dominated by an extended halo with a scale comparable to that of the radio source. The asymmetry of the ... -
Dynamics of virtual urban networks: transactions, connections, urban memory, resilience potential, robustness and edge of collapse
(2021-07-13)A virtual urban network is a network of communications and transactions that is overlaid on the physical urban assemblage. Producers and consumers in a physical urban environment make connections on the basis of product ... -
Dynein-dynactin complex subunits are differentially localized in brain and spinal cord, with selective involvement in pathological features of neurodegenerative disease
(2008-02)The dynein-dynactin complex, mostly recognized for axonal retrograde transport in neurones, has an ever growing list of essential subcellular functions. Here, the distribution of complex subunits in human central nervous ... -
'Dyschronia in Nigel Kneale’s The Stone Tape'
(2006-06-15)The Stone Tape (BBC, 1972) concerns a group of scientists who have assembled in a country house, in order to devise new recording technologies. After their programmer Jill seems to have experienced a ghost, the team discovers ... -
Dysfunction in nitric oxide synthesis in streptozotocin treated rat aorta and role of methylglyoxal
(2019-01-05)Diabetic vascular dysfunction is a major complication of diabetes. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a dicarbonyl metabolite elevated in diabetic plasma that reacts with interstitial molecules to form advanced glycation end products ... -
Dysphoric mood states are related to sensitivity to temporal changes in contingency
(2012-09-27)A controversial finding in the field of causal learning is that mood contributes to perceptions of uncorrelated relationships. When people are asked to report the degree of control they have, people with dysphoria or ... -
Dysregulated placental microRNAs in Early and Late onset Preeclampsia
(2018-01-01)INTRODUCTION: To determine the miRNA expression profile in placentas complicated by Preeclampsia (PE) and compare it to uncomplicated pregnancies. METHODS: Sixteen placentas from women with PE, [11 with early onset PE ... -
Dysregulation of epithelial ion transport and neurochemical changes in the colon of a parkinsonian primate
(2021-01-21)The pathological changes underlying gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are poorly understood and the symptoms remain inadequately treated. In this study we compared the functional and neurochemical ... -
Dysregulation of Glucagon Secretion by Hyperglycemia-Induced Sodium-Dependent Reduction of ATP Production
(2019-02-05)Diabetes is a bihormonal disorder resulting from combined insulin and glucagon secretion defects. Mice lacking fumarase (Fh1) in their β cells (Fh1βKO mice) develop progressive hyperglycemia and dysregulated glucagon ... -
Dysregulation of TRPV4, eNOS and caveolin-1 contribute to endothelial dysfunction in the streptozotocin rat model of diabetes
(2020-12-05)Endothelial dysfunction is a common complication in diabetes in which endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation is impaired. The aim of this study was to examine the involvement of the TRPV4 ion channel in type 1 diabetic ... -
The DyViS database: style-controlled recordings of 100 homogeneous speakers for forensic phonetic research
(2009)The DyViS project (‘Dynamic Variability in Speech: a Forensic Phonetic Study of British English’) at the University of Cambridge has compiled a large-scale database of speech recordings which will be freely available for ...
