No full textVladimir Burtsev and the Russian revolutionary emigration: surveillance of foreign political refugees in London, 1891-1905.
No full textPhDThe thesis describes the early life in emigration of the Russian revolutionary, historian
and radical journalist Vladimir L'vovich Burtsev (17/29 November 1862 - 21 August
1942). Particular emphasis is placed on the nature and extent of the police
surveillance of Burtsev and the émigré community in Europe during the period. The
relationship between the Criminal Investigation Department of London's
Metropolitan Police and their Russian counterparts in Europe - the Zagranichnaia
agentura, ('Foreign Agency') - is examined in detail.
Burtsev's biography has great contemporary relevance, unfolding, as it does, in an
atmosphere of increasing anxiety in Britain (both governmental and non-official)
about growing numbers of foreign anarchists, terrorists, and `aliens' in general (which
would lead, in due course, to the passing of the 1905 Aliens Act) and the increasingly
interventionist police methods of the era. The thesis describes Burtsev's relationship
with the émigré community and its British supporters, examines his (at times extreme)
political views and reviews the radical journalism which led to his trial and
imprisonment in 1898. This, the `Burtsev affair', signalled a major shift in British
government policy towards political refugees on the one hand and to international
counter-terrorist co-operation on the other and it is one of the aims of this thesis to
detail the reasons for these changes

Laminar-turbulent transition of a non-Newtonian fluid flow
No full textTransition from laminar to turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is investigated using velocimetry data. These data are obtained by applying particle image velocimetry to images obtained through ultrasound imaging (echography). This yielded the observation of intermittent structures (puffs and slugs) that are formed during transition. Post its observation, transition is characterized using the friction factor curves and turbulence intensity. Further, a number of models used to predict transition are assessed. This showed the Reynolds number based model by Slatter and the stability parameter based model by Hanks to be most suitable for non-Newtonian fluids with yield stress and low behaviour index.Sanitary EngineeringMulti Phase System
Human papillomavirus gene expression in the placenta and its prevalence in an assisted reproduction cohort
No full textOverview: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is well known as the leading cause of cervical cancer worldwide. Whether HPV also contributes to other adverse effects such as those associated with pregnancy is unclear. Higher incidences of HPV DNA were previously found in placentas of women presenting with birth complications such as preeclampsia and with placental pathology such as lymphohistiocytic villitis. Little is understood about the function of HPV in the placenta including the types of HPV present, and whether HPV genes capable of altering cell function are expressed such as E6 and E7. This study investigated if HPV 18 was present in placentas associated with preeclampsia and if HPV E6/E7 and E4 were expressed in the placenta. With HPV linked to impaired fertility, the prevalence of HPV in individuals undergoing assisted reproduction in New Zealand was also explored.
Methods: Thirteen placental cases with nine associated with preeclampsia were collected as part of the Otago Placental Study and Hippop study based at Queen Mary Maternity Centre (Dunedin Hospital) and tested for the presence of DNA from five high risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, and/or 51) by in situ hybridisation (ISH). Six cases were tested for HPV 18 DNA specifically by ISH. Gene expression of HPV E6/E7 and E4 was identified using RNA in situ hybridisation (RNAscope®). To test the frequency of HPV in a cohort of men and women undergoing assistant reproduction technologies high vaginal swabs (n=19), endometrium (n=19), and paternal first catch urine (n=17) samples were collected by Fertility Associates, Christchurch and tested for the presence of pan HPV types and HPV 18 using PCR. Sixteen endometrial tissues were tested for the presence of five high risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, and/or 51) by ISH.
Results: Ten placental cases were high risk HPV (16, 18, 31, 33, and/or 51) DNA positive (77%). Three out of six placentas (50%) were HPV 18 DNA positive. Expression of high risk E6/E7 was seen in five placental cases (41.7%) within the decidua basalis and foetal villous trophoblast regions. Human papillomavirus E4 expression was found in two placental cases also positive for E6/E7 expression within the decidua basalis.
Human papillomavirus 18 DNA was detected in 74% of high vaginal swabs, 16% of endometrium, and in no first catch urine samples using endpoint PCR. Endometrial tissue was identified as positive for high risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, and/or 51) in 62.5% of cases.
Conclusion: Human papillomavirus 18 was common in the placenta and the reproductive tract of women undergoing assisted reproduction. Human papillomavirus E6/E7 and E4 were transcribed in the placenta, suggesting active transcription of HPV genes including those that can alter cell function. This data supports future studies aimed at identifying HPV as a causative factor towards adverse pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and infertility
Pseudonyms by Any Other Name
No full textIssue 7 of Zed was guest edited by Siân Cook and Teal Triggs of the Women's Design Research Unit (WD+RU). Contributors were invited to investigate the theme of 'Public and Private'. Contributions were divided into four themes: navigating/mapping; hiding/revealing; ritual/sexualisation and culture/boundaries.
My visual essay was aligned to the hiding/revealing theme where the private identity of famous names is revealed through a playful typographic list.
The accompanying prose essay explores why and how pseudonyms are employed. I highlighted the reason why the typographer Beatrice Warde – author of The Crystal Goblet, Sixteen Essays on Typography – used the pseudonym Paul Beaujon to publish an article about the Garamond types in The Fleuron. As a female author in the 1920s it would have been unlikely her article would have been published under her own name within the male-dominated trades of printing and typography
