    The Temporins

    No full text
    The temporins belong to a family of short (8–17 amino acids), hydrophobic, C-terminally α-amidated peptides with antibacterial and antifungal properties that are synthesized in the skins of a wide range of North American and Eurasian frogs of the Ranidae family. Temporins adopt an α-helical conformation in hydrophobic environments and have the ability to perturb the integrity of target cell membranes. Not all temporins are cationic, but the number of positively charged amino acids correlates with antimicrobial potency. Temporins are mostly effective against Gram-positive bacteria, but some are also active against Gram-negative bacteria. Temporins show potential for development into therapeutically valuable anti-infective agents, particularly for use against antibiotic- resistant Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecalis, against anaerobic pathogens such as Clostridium difficile, and against the protozoan parasite Leishmania spp. Although the clinical usefulness of naturally occurring temporins is limited by high hemolytic activity, noncytotoxic analogs have been designe

    In order and out of time: Compositions exploring processes, polymeters and balance

    No full text
    This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.These compositions explore concepts based on processes and polymeter. Drawing on influences ranging from Steve Reich to Conlon Nancarrow and Nik Bärtsch they use and develop an approach to rhythmic thinking based on ostinati constructed of layers of different speeds. Through the use of click tracks, they look at how an ensemble can be enabled to perform rhythms that, without the electronic support, would be unplayable – crossing a line between the possible and the impossible. By means of processes built on a number of different ideas, the pieces explore how these can be used to affect both the behaviour and evolution of musical material, as well as using them to create fixed structures within which I then move subjectively and more intuitively. The question of balance, of moving between two points or approaches that are seemingly opposites, has also been examined: looking at how the journey affects the destination, where the simple becomes complex, and where personal meets impersonal

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
