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 ... -
Functional Interventions as Augmentation Strategies for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) : Scoping Review and Expert Survey from the International College of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (ICOCS)
(2021-01-27)Background. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) commonly exhibit a range of functional difficulties, presumed linked to neurocognitive changes. Evidence-based first-line treatments have limited effect on ... -
Functional Neurologic Disorders, disorders to be managed by neurologists, or are neurologists wandering in a dangerous field with inadequate resources?
(2023-03-17)In recent years, some neurologists reconsidered their approach to Medically Unexplained Symptoms and proposed Functional Neurologic Disorders (FND) as a new entity, claiming that neurology could offer alternative treatment ... -
Functional Relaxation as Complementary Therapy in Irritable Bowel Syndrome : A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial
(2010)Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a frequently disabling and almost invariably distressing disease with a high overall prevalence. Numerous trials identified the importance of psychogenic and emotional etiological ... -
Functionalized Copper Nanoparticles with Gold Nanoclusters: Part I. Highly Selective Electrosynthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide
(2023-10-30)Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) show a high catalytic performance in generating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a property that can be exploited to kill disease-causing microbes and to carry carbon-free ... -
Functions and Polynomials over Finite Groups from the Computational Perspective
(2008-05-07)In the thesis we investigate the connections between arbitrary functions and their realizing polynomials over finite algebras. We study functionally complete algebras, i.e. algebras over which every function can be realized ... -
Fund Raising for the Performing Arts: Life After the Lottery - How can we Adapt
(University of Hertfordshire, 2003)In this paper we identify some practical examples of fundraising drawn from a number of semi-structured interviews with individuals who had recent experience of fund raising in the performing arts. The central section of ... -
A fundamental investigation into the effects of eutectic formation on transmembrane transport
(2010-06-30)Eutectic systems enhance the permeation of therapeutic agents across biological barriers, but the mechanism by which this occurs has not previously been elucidated. Using human skin it has proven difficult to isolate the ... -
Fundamental Properties of Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs
(2009)Precise measurements of the fundamental properties of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs are key to understanding the physics underlying their formation and evolution. While there has been great progress over the last decade ... -
Fundamental properties of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)Precise measurements of the fundamental properties of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs are key to understanding the physics underlying their formation and evolution. While there has been great progress over the last decade ... -
The fundamental solution of Mindlin plates with damping in the Laplace domain and its applications
(2008-10)In this paper, a fundamental solution for the Mindlin plate theory with damping is derived in the Laplace transform domain first time. The applications of this fundamental solution are demonstrated by the method of fundamental ... -
Fundamentals of Children's Anatomy and Physiology. A textbook for Nursing and Healthcare Students.
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-01)When caring for the well or ill child, recognising and responding to their anatomical and physiological differences is essential. Fundamentals of Children’s Anatomy and Physiology provides child nursing students and ...
