    The synthesis of monodisperse alkanes with long chains

    No full text
    This thesis discusses reasons for the interest in monodisperse long chain alkanes and describes attempts, past and present, to synthesise such molecules. Chapter 1 discusses why the synthesis of such molecules are important and the objectives of this project. Chapter 2 reviews the methods previous groups have devised to prepare pure samples of long chain alkanes. In particular, work carried out by Whiting et al. at Bristol, whose scheme formed the basis of the early work in Durham. Chapter 3 describes the work in Durham and improvements which were made to Whiting's method, allowing the synthesis of longer chain lengths and greater quantities of materials to be achieved. Chapter 4 provides a summary of the practical work carried out by the author. Chapter 5 gives experimental details of the work described in Chapter 4

    <p>Primary human gingival epithelial cell cultures were incubated with or without <i>P. gingivalis</i> at MOI = 1∶50 for 20 hrs. In some cases cells were pre-incubated with FOXO1 siRNA (SiFOXO1), FOXO3 siRNA (SiFOXO3) or scrambled siRNA (SiScr) FOXO1 prior to stimulation with bacteria. mRNA levels of apoptotic genes (BIDD and TRAD) and integrins that affect barrier function (beta-1, beta-3 and beta-6) were measured by real-time PCR. * Significantly different from control cells without bacterial stimulation (P<0.05). ** Significantly different between scrambled siRNA and FOXO1 or FOXO3 siRNA (P<0.05). + Significantly different between FOXO1 siRNA and FOXO3 siRNA (P<0.05).</p

    Examples to Accompany Worksheets for Calculating Breakeven Bids for the Milk Production Termination Program

    A.E. Ext. 86-08The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an example of how to use the worksheets described in A.E. Ext. 86-6 "Worksheets for Calculating Breakeven Bids for the Milk Production Termination Program". Farm information for I. May Bidd is on the next page. A breakeven bid is calculated for each of the three situations, described in detail in the aforementioned bulletin. Briefly, the three situations differ with respect to whether the dairy farmer plans to leave dairy production soon regardless of MPTP and whether or not he plans to return to milk production at the end of MPTP. The same basic data will be used for all three situations but we have changed I. May Bidd's name to fit the situation

    Diatoma liber Suhr 1831

    1. Diatoma liber Suhr 1831, p. 686 (1834, 17 (1), tab. III, fig. 4, reproduced here as Figure 1) (Figures 2–6) Described in the first ‘Beschreibung einiger neuen algen’ series from Canary Island specimens (“Kanarische Inseln”), Suhr provided a fairly detailed account of Diatoma liber (Suhr 1831, p. 686) publishing a series of figures in a later edition of Flora oder Botanische Zeitung (Suhr 1834, 17 (1), tab. III, fig. 4, see Fig. 1). Diatoma liber has been assumed by many to be the same species as Diatoma interstitiale Agardh (1832, p. 54), both having been described from Suhr’s Canary Island material (Agardh 1832, p. 54, “ Sphaerococcus Corneum investiens ad insulas Canariensis. Specimen misit v. Suhr”; Kützing 1833, p. 585, “An Sphaerococcus corneus, von den canarischen Inseln, v. Suhr”; see also Montagne in Barker-Webb & Berthelot 1840, p. 193, “Gelidio corneo parasitantem hancce speciem mihi ignotam invenit cl. Suhr, qui cum celeb. Agardhio specimen communicavit.”; and their footnote: “J’omets à dessein le Diatoma liber Suhr, originaire aussi des Canaries, selon cet auteur, par la raison que ses caractères ne m’ont pas paru assez solides pour lever tous mes doutes sur sa légitimité”). Two slides in the BM Kützing collection are made from Canary Island material (“Ins Canar.”) and both said to have specimens of Diatoma liber. The same two slides are catalogued for Diatoma interstitiale (Table 1) 1 When numbers are double-underlined in Eulenstein’s Catalogue it indicates that ‘Kützing 823’ (BM 19390 “Ins Canar.”) was the source of the original material for Biddulphia septemlocularis (See Cox 1995). The Eulenstein catalogue of Kützing’s BM collection (Eulenstein 1868) notes that for ‘Kützing 766’ it includes specimens of: “ Diat. interstitiale Ag. (Diatoma liber Suhr?) Ins Canar. bei Grammath. Marina ” (italics not in original) and for ‘Kützing 823’ specimens of: “ Bidd. septemlocularis Kg. [Isth. ernerva [= I. enervis] ... canariensis Kg] Diat. interstitiale K. … liber Suhr Ins Canar. Kütz. ” 4 (italic not in original). The implication is that all these names (except those in Isthmia) refer to the same specimens. Diatoma liber has been written as Diatoma liberum (Kützing 1849, p. 137), as ‘ Diatoma liberum Agardh’ (e.g., de Toni 1894, p. 870, Boyer 1901, p. 694 as a synonym of Biddulphia biddulphiana) and as ‘ Diatoma linerum Agardh’ (in Mills 1933, p. 282, under Biddulphia biddulphiana) 5. These all refer to the same taxon.Published as part of Williams, David M., 2021, Studies on type material from Kützing's diatom collection VI: The identity of Diatoma liber Suhr (1831), pp. 215-223 in Phytotaxa 528 (3) on pages 215-217, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.528.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/578816

    An archaeology of Irish cinema: Ireland's subaltern, migrant and feminist film cultures (1973-87)

    No full text
    This thesis examines the development of an Irish film avant-garde, from the mid 1970s to the late 1980s. The thesis argues that this period was marked by an historically specific intersection between Irish and international film cultures, which can be traced through contemporary film theory, cultural policy and critical practice. This period witnessed a revitalisation of indigenous production, and new initiatives in Irish arts policy, but many important Irish filmmakers trained or began their careers in London and New York, while others were supported by cultural and political agencies outside the state. The thesis focuses on the work of five filmmakers (Bob Quinn, Joe Comerford, Thaddeus O’Sullivan, Vivienne Dick and Pat Murphy) and on three key areas of intersection between Irish and international film culture, associated with the ‘subaltern’, migration and feminism. Through close readings of specific films, supported by interviews with selected filmmakers, distributors and archivists, the thesis develops an expanded model of practice, which extends beyond production to address issues of distribution and exhibition. This archaeology of Irish cinema is informed by post-structural critiques of the archive, as well as theories of the avantgarde, and it argues that the reception of Irish avant-garde film has been structured by the institutional discourses of the museum and the academy
