Genetic modification and the environment : EC directives and the genesis of UK regulation
(1993-08)The rapid advances in bio-technology that have been witnessed in recent years have been matched by an increase in concern associated with both the moral dimensions and the possible environmental impacts of genetically ... -
Nachhaltigkeit am Kantinen-Teller
(2013)In öffentlichen Einrichtungen nimmt das Bewusstsein dafür zu, dass gesün-dere, saisonale und frisch zubereitete Gerichte, deren Zutaten aus biologi-schem Anbau stammen und unter fairen Bedingungen produziert wurden,einen ... -
Effects of different fungicides on the severity of phoma stem canker
(2014)Phoma stem canker, a disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) caused by sibling pathogens Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa. Both pathogens follow a monocylic disease cycle that causes leaf spotting in autumn/winter ... -
Determination of the pathogen population structure of Pyrenopeziza brassicae, causal agent of light leaf spot on brassicas
(2014)Light leaf spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenopeziza brassicae, is currently the major disease problem in oilseed rape production in the UK. Furthermore, P. brassicae can also be found on vegetable brassicas such ... -
A systems approach to the control of strawberry powdery mildew
(2014)A systems approach to the control of strawberry powdery mildew (Podospheara aphanis) is important, as the disease is never absent from the crop. Work reported here shows that the disease is present in the crop whether new ... -
Temperature affects the effectiveness of R gene mediated resistance against Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker) in Brassica napus (oilseed rape)
(2014)Phoma stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) is an economically important disease on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in Europe, Australia and North America. Effective control of this disease relies on the use of two types of ... -
Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) : a resurgent problem in the UK
(2014)Since 2006, the incidence and severity of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) in winter oilseed rape in the UK has increased so that the disease is now the main disease concern for growers with respect to yield loss. ... -
Education and Social Mobility 1870 - 1914: a Study of Four Schools in the Registration District of Hitchin in Hertfordshire
(2015-08-26)Social mobility and how it should be measured is an important topic for sociologists and historians. However, there have been very few studies on the link between social mobility and the introduction of a state education ... -
Using the Psychological Concept of Compassion to Inform Pedagogic Strategies for Higher Education Seminars
(2015-08-26)This study used the university discussion-based seminar with the aim of exploring and improving students’ experiences of face-to-face group work in Higher Education. The purpose was to devise a pedagogic strategy to address ... -
Exploiting Abstract Syntax Trees to Locate Software Defects
(2015-08-26)Context. Software defect prediction aims to reduce the large costs involved with faults in a software system. A wide range of traditional software metrics have been evaluated as potential defect indicators. These traditional ... -
A High-Resolution Radio Continuum Study of the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC10
(2015-08-25)Dwarf galaxies are a significant contributor to the current star formation rate for the Universe as a whole, yet little is understood of what drives star formation in these low gas density environments. IC10 is a nearby ... -
An Efficient Execution Model for Reactive Stream Programs
(2015-08-25)Stream programming is a paradigm where a program is structured by a set of computational nodes connected by streams. Focusing on data moving between computational nodes via streams, this programming model fits well for ... -
The Investigation of Code-Switching in a Computerised Corpus of Child Bilingual Language
(2015-08-25)This dissertation describes the investigation of codeswitching in a computerised corpus of child bilingual language, the LOBILL Corpus, which consists of twenty-five hours of recordings of naturalistic interactions between ... -
Experimental and Computational Investigation into Light Scattering by Atmospheric Ice Crystals
(2015-08-25)An investigation was carried out into light scattering by Gaussian rough ice crystals. Gaussian rough crystal geometries were generated using roughness parameters derived from mineral dust grains, which have been reported ... -
Work-Family Conflict: a Case Study of Women in Pakistani Banks
(2015-08-25)Despite a plethora of empirical evidence on the work-family interface in 'the West‘, very little research has been carried out on the experiences of women in the context of Pakistan. Gender inequalities persist in the ... -
Adaptive Constraint Solving for Information Flow Analysis
(2015-08-25)In program analysis, unknown properties for terms are typically represented symbolically as variables. Bound constraints on these variables can then specify multiple optimisation goals for computer programs and nd application ...
